Great news, there will finally be a DSP friendly head unit available for the E38! I just saw the news that the Avin Avant-3 will be DSP friendly and is coming soon. I contacted Avin and I will be beta testing one of he first models coming out. I will provide step by step DIY posts and videos for each of the features. I will be using just about every feature on the new Avant 3 (see list below) but I am especially excited to add a set of Subs via the dream output, a backup camera and radar, and a tire pressure monitor system.
If there are any requests on features to try out please let me know and I will see if I can work it into my DIY. I love my E38 but getting it’s technology a little bit up to speed.
Latest Features:
Newer Android OS version 6.0
Android Auto built in
Option for Apple CarPlay
Support for Valentine V1 Radar Detector displaying on the head unit so you can hide the radar detector
More RAM memory
More Internal storage
A lot better Bluetooth performance and features
A lot better radio tuner with the best reception
DAB+ support for Europe
More powerful amplifier for nice clean sound
4V RCA Preamp output
Better Wifi performance and range
4G LTE built in
Your head unit will be able to have its own phone number, make and receive calls without ever being connected to your mobile phone.
Support Tire Pressure Monitor System.
Digital TV ATSC and DVBT
Bluetooth OBD2 for Torque performance and diagnostic
and much more
There is already a Dynavin N6 that is DSP friendly, but only for e39/e53 I think. Is this one you're talking about really e38 compatible, or is it just DSP compatible?

The 4V preamp output has my attention. All the other features are a nice bonus.

No info yet other than it replaces the Avant-2:

The problem with these aftermarket video/nav units goes beyond just loss of DSP control (or at best, limited DSP control). There are other factory controls which will be lost as well:
- Check Control configuration menu
- On-Board Computer
- Aux Ventilation
- Date/Time and Metric/Imperial Units settings (for Check Control)
Plus, there's the matter of fitment.
Don't get me wrong: I'd love an updated video/nav unit. But as much as I want to like 'em, I hesitate.
hmm, put me in the box with people that almost never use any of the factor controls.....probably the time/date is the only thing. I'm on the verge of completely ripping out the DSP system, but if this works, then it may be the 'easy' way out... we'll see.
I've been talking with Tommy from avin.

This company is kind of a joke, no? The Avant 2 was supposed to be this great head unit and ended up being very poorly executed. Now the second coming of DSP, the Avant 3 was due "this summer" and then "by the end of August" followed by "the end of September". Here we are end of September and we're getting crickets from them. I'm guessing the next ETA is "by the end of October". By the time they release this thing, there won't be any more e38/e39's left on the road.
