SPM - You've got quite the stable! Keep us posted on your D99 install? Do you get your cars from Swope?

spmd11 · 01-27-2012, 08:34 AM

Thanks!! Yup.. all Swope BMW. Yes, I plan to include lots of pics Monday evening... I will also take pics of factory head unit trunk installation and I will report on BMW Assist functionality and BMW diagnostic concerns.

Installed all correctly, my caraudiocraze didnt provide me a SD card from Dynavin so I can't upgrade my Dynavin....

How do you format your own SD card to work with Dynavin?

My good camera is at home, I just installed it and got everything working, but just have it sitting in place waiting for the 2011 climate control to arrive, did'nt have time to play with it yet...but installation was fairly quick, maybe 30min, but i've been reading up on intallations since I pre-ordered it.

cudabnu · 01-27-2012, 11:10 AM

ok, here's from my camera phone. My only question is that it comes with a wifi dongle, does it plug into the usb cable labled GPS or DVD on the back of the unit?

spmd11 · 01-27-2012, 11:25 AM

How in the world did you do this in 30 minutes?!

What are you doing with your stock head unit? Are you retaining it and relocating?

cudabnu · 01-27-2012, 11:31 AM

since I'm not relocating the heated seat controls, it eliminates about 1/2 the time I believe. You pop out the climate controls, then it's only 4 torx screws, 2 phillips screws, and 2 8mm bolts, everything else it plug and play, probably the hardest part is fishing the yellow constant 12v wire to the fuse box. I will be adding a back up camera in the future. I haven't decided if i'll re-locate the stock HU to the rear yet, but I still need to install the new climate controls, so the 30 min was a toss it in and fire it up to see how it works.

Does your android have a hard time getting GPS signal? It seems like mine does

so far, yes. I'm also trying to find out if I can switch the clock from Military time. Trying to use the steering wheel controls, I was only able to switch between the radio and ipod, not the CD player.

Yea Everything other than the GPS seems to be working flawlessly. I'm gonna try to get a working SD card so that I can update software see if that fixes anythig

cudabnu · 01-27-2012, 01:00 PM

did find an answer to one of my questions:
"the Android units have a USB Wifi antenna that needs to be plugged into the plug labeled GPS USB."

cudabnu · 01-27-2012, 01:47 PM

still need to trim the side tabs on the climate controller a bit, but for the most part it's in and working, got it to sync to my Motorolla i1 phone

cdgatti · 01-27-2012, 04:18 PM

CU it looks good, where did you find the LCI climate controller?

I first saw one in the for sale section, but never heard back from the seller, so then I found one on Ebay for about $140 shipped. all functions on it work perfectly with my 2007.

Simon.bmw · 01-27-2012, 07:52 PM

i want one。。．but dynavin dot have d99 with manual ac control yet... I have a Canada model 323i lol

cudabnu · 01-27-2012, 08:57 PM

The volume doesn't seem to go as loud as the factory hifi HU running thru the stock amp.

Hey, where did you place your GPS antenna? I put it by the Metal Bar that CarAudioCraze guide told me to put, but seems like no signal?

Same here, I'm going to try other places tommorrow. I'm going to be installing an alping F5 amp also. Another thing with the volume (i'll have to try a few other discs) but the volume is lower playing CD's vs radio. I installed some Morel Hybrid Ovation II's and want to crank them!
