Is there a video to demonstrate the responsiveness of the unit?

INSTANT is a very fair word for it, there is no getting faster than its current responsiveness. How fast it changed presents, switched to SD/USB, back to radio, to NAVI, back to radio etc was one of the first things that impressed me. You can't pull your finger back off the screen before the new song or source is already playing. Period.
The older D99 was a little bit of a clunker at times the N6 is a thoroughbred racing machine as compared.

I'm still struggling to see one of these units "Wow" me in terms of features/speed/ease of use/user customizable options, Apart from the newer Android Pure 4.2.2 Units with the Capacitive touch & multi-channel PreOuts for amplifiers etc. Especially with the newer units running 1024x600 screen resolution.
According to the Dynavin website, The N6 has " PreOut: 2 PreOuts (4V)" 2? 2 Pairs?
I will hold judgement however until I see a video & these get released.
It's a shame they are still using a generic bezel housing though with the SD slots on the front

I am not sure if the subwoofer output are full range or low pass as the amplifier I have them going to is driving the 7.1" midbass' as 50-250hz and passing through to the subwoofer amplifier for 20-80hz.
Speed & ease of use are top notch. Features are good, I'm not sure what else I'd ask for beyond crossover functionality on the preouts. I haven't begun to explore add on 3rd party apps yet...
Where would you put the SD card slots considering its something that needs to be accessed and swapped out frequently?
I can't see screen respolution making an appreciable difference. 800 x 480 vs. 1024x600 isn't much when you consider you're generally sat 4ft plus from the screen. Its already very crisp, and amazingly easy to read in the day light, even with direct sun light on the screen.

It appears the DINAN website should be upgraded with some better information regarding the PreOuts.
Well, 2 cards yes? 1 is for maps. 1 is for whatever else your heart desires. It'd be aesthetically pleasing to have a small extension that just sits in the glovebox. Or a Faux button like some of the other units out there.
I assume these are WinCE5? maybe 6?

I will admit though, The fitment of the unit is nice.

No, but frankly you never see it....you see the selected music source screen 99% of the time....and it doesn't have a background, it's just black.
that screen is far more present in the online pics than in real world use.

So I've been sitting out in the car, just listening. 192/24 FLAC classical music, it sounds soooo good.

Stuck, did you have the old D99? Is the bracket the same?

I haven't had a D99 but I've installed a few of them.
I'm pretty sure the bracket is 100% the same.
Tenured Automotive Service Professional - Avid BMW Enthusiast
Amazing. Thanks! Now I need to sell my D99+. $700 just for the sake of upgrading is a hard pill to swallow.
Resident Third World Country Advisor
Yes, the bracket is unchanged.....
everything else on the other hand....

any chance I can remove that Golf wallpaprer from the OBC window ? What are the apps all about ?
This thread has my full attention...
Does anyone know what DynOS is based on? Linux, QNX, or is it all original code from Dynavin? I ask because if it is based on QNX, then theoretically one of the future apps could add support for Apple CarPlay.
Jeff, when do you expect to have the GAS with mini amp package back in stock? I would like to order a combo.
Thanks,
Nick
