Interesting read - Seems a lot more stable.

Just read the full thread and watched the video on you tube. It looks like a really good unit with backup from a supplier which has always put me off Chinese double din units.

Have purchased mine with DVB-T (digital TV tuner), reverse camera and flush mount USB so that  I can have an easy place to plug in to iPhone for charge/direct play function.

Will let you know once it arrives - but having installed one of these in an E39 a few years ago, I remember it's a full day to do the job properly (mainly running the cables to the reverse camera) from end  to end...... :(

Sorry to dig this up but the feedback on outpost looks most promising on the N6

Interestingly they are paying $699 (£450) from a place called J and T Distributing whereas I could only spot a place called auto-electronics that wants £599 (a whopping £150 more) over in the UK?

Import fees I guess would kill the US version over here?

I bought a Dynavin D99 winCE headunit off them. The CD drive packed in after 6 months. I had to send them the unit back and they fitted a new CD drive under warranty, so they are good for repairs even though I had to pay the carriage. If you buy direct from China you may struggle if a repair is needed.
The D99 was the WinCE version I think the one you are looking at maybe the later Android version which is supposed to be better
I only live a few miles from their place but they wouldn't let me drop it off or pick it up as they use a PO box, and said the repairs were automatically diverted to their electronics repair shop.

On face value it does look quite good but "auto-electronics" seems not to have a contact address

This is their webpage and I think it's the same outfit on Ebay. I also think there is a "Dynavin registered installer" somewhere in manchester

Still a big hike from £450 with an american supplier to £599 from a UK supplier :o
