I saw this item short time ago listed on the JleviSW & Bimmian site for $799. If anyone needs anymore detailed info, video's of install/operation, and their review of the product go here:
http://www.bimmian.com/92/GPS/ They even now offer either a License Plate Light Wired Rearview Camera or a Wireless version Also saw it at Schmeidmann for $845 http://www.schmiedmann.com/3_series/..._Equipment.htm But the price of $739 from Car Audio Craze is still the best so far: I was gonna post if anyone had any experience with this unit as I liked many things about it:
Items I thought needed improvement:

2. GPS is usually on at the same time by hitting the nav button, if it needs to start up that takes about 30 sec. 3. It does not display album art yet but it is being worked on by Dynavin 4. You can change the voice for directions but there is one, and it is just as fast as most GPS units i have come in contact with, including my EVO 4G. pkirk- You can connect any aftermarket amp you would like to the 4channels of RCA outputs and also the 2 separate channels of Subwoofer Outputs. 1quickWS6- CarAudioCraze also has a coupon code i posted earlier for $40 off i believe. Check the previous pages it should be there somewhere. |

Wondering if anyone has additional information on the wired and wireless cameras? There are no links for info on Bimmian, only to order. |

I didn't read anything in these thread about most
I don't think it does anything with the most loop it leaves it hanging as far as I have read . One poster said the company was looking into a way to stop the errors that were caused from a disconnected most bus from occurring. So far the only way to take care of the Broken Most errors is to mount the OEM Head unit in the Trunk . This also means this unit doesn't work with the L7 system amp as far a I know.
It would be nice is people that put this unit in could comment it they hooked it up directlly to there speaker or went through the stock amp or an aftermarket and what the results were.. Last edited by ctuna; 01-09-2011 at 12:52 PM.. |

The way I have it now is hooked right into the stock harness behind the radio, it doesnt require any other wiring so it is using the stock wiring and harness of my HiFi system. Also it does NOT work with L7. I did get a connector that will loop the optical cables to try and eliminate the error but it may be a few days before i can try and install it. |

Well, after reading the other 10 page post and the referral post at E46Fanatics - I can see that in my case this unit would be great for my car.
I have the Business Hi Fi radio No BMW Assist - so no error there No Factory BT - so this would be a plus No Factory Nav - so this would be a plus No trunk mounted CD Changer - so no problems there No Factory PDC - so no problems there No Rear Camera - so this would be a plus with camera option I do have the factory USB/iPod but never use it as I don't own an iPod (wife does) so losing that function in factory location is no big deal - I can still mount this units' USB/iPod connectors in the console if I wish Sounds like a win-win for me. I would like to see if they are planning to offer the heated seat switch relo kit in something other than black or silver - maybe CF. I doubt that they would ever offer wood to match all the possible BMW styles due to the cost... Or I guess I could go with the Metra seat switch relo kit > here: http://www.metraonline.com/part/98-9306 Which simply replaces the entire ash tray guts (not the cover). You lose the cigarette lighter with that one - but I don't smoke in my car - just have to finally break down & hardwire my radar detector in like I should have (bought all necessary parts-just never did it).

One thing to consider when buying from an online company that 'seems' to have an unreal low price - is the Warranty & Support you will get AFTER the sale. In most cases you may never need either, but if you happen to need support, I'm gonna guess may not get much.
Might be a good idea to contact Dynavin regarding the real cheap supplier and get some info. This was a good review post - but I have decided that when I buy, it will be from an authorized distributor that has a history of good support after the sale - in fact I already know who that comapny will be

This seems really long. I thought that having a separate processor etc for the audio functions would mean that the long boot required for the nav would not be an issue. I really want something where the radio will be on as soon as I turn on the car...just as in my factory player. That could be the deal breaker for me, because the main focus for me (aside from a stock look) is great audio without any delay. |

Holy crap! You can really get into the guts of this thing (Navigation side) if you want to. Over at the E46Fanatics forum there are multiple threads just dedicated to changing the skins on the Nav, customizing with different voices, you can even add your name into the Nav files to have the Nav voice personalize it's comments...
There is a wealth of info on this unit over at E46Fanatics

Just to be sure i did a google for "caraudiocraze trent" and came up with numerous things about their good service with the Dynavin customers. I re-timed the startup and its 8 seconds or less from pushing start to music playing! I am sure they would be willing to do a GB as i found threads on other GB's they have done for Audi units and such. There are Aux inputs in the back that you can run extension cables to wherever in the form of RCA's and also a USB! Hope that helps guys, keep the questions coming if you have more! |

Alpine, just to better understand the AUX connection, is it possible to connect the OEM AUX that attaches to the OEM HU? I am interested in utilizing the OEM AUX connection in my console without rerouting any wires.
Did you make this connection with your unit? |
