New DVD Player Special For E46

[bimmerholic]

Hi all,
Just to share some differences between HUL and Dynavin so for future buyer to have more options. Both are good head Unit tho..

1. Auto dim or one touch dim when driving at night. Like a screen saver. Does not distract while driving or other passenger who want to have a good
sleep.

There have day light and night light setting, i set mine in level 1 at night and level 10 for daytime (max = 20). Alternatively, u can switch off the screen when u enjoy the music/radio at night time.

Till now i stil cant find this feature in Dynavin, good feature tho.. for me i just switch on the Idrive skin.

2. TV reception rather poor. Perhaps due to quality of the antenna. Perhaps this HINET H-100 brand ( http://www.mudah.my/HINET+H1+100+Car+TV+Antenna+with+Booster+Rated-7554546.htm ) is better. Claim to be highly rated at RM89.

This one worth to try as well.

Havent install any yet.. dangerous to watch tv while driving, even for passanger sometimes it can be very distracting..


3. Bluetooth phone mic not clear enough for the other parties we talk to hear. Perhaps need to installed another 3rd party mic like one of the forumner did to solve it. Wonder whether need to do some wiring or just plug in using standard jack. Someone may be able to highlight this. Pairing with BT is a breeze...great !

As i know to install the external mic, we have to open the headunit, meant it will void the warranty.

Dynavin comes with a external Mic but even the build-in mic is good enough

4. LCD screen rather glare during day time but look good at night. Perhaps need a 'hood' like typical LCD in newer model of BMW. I also need to look for a new LCD screen protector. Perhaps the one with 'anti glare' will help. Currently I have not taken out the protective layer yet. Anybody can suggest where can i purchase a 800 x 480 screen protector?

PC shop is the best place :4:

Dynavin comes with a screen protector, i fix it nicely, however the touch screen become havoc, touch point become inaccurate. Check with accessories shop, they said is like tat, they never install into touch screen unit.

5, 6, 7. An upgrading firmware will definitely solve the problem. Stay tune.

Dynavin comes with 2 USB connector at the back, 1 for modem and 1 for Thumbdrive. I pull the USB to glovebox, plug a 16gb Thumbdrive loaded with songs. Walla... media hub for MP3, Avi,Mpeg, photo.. played avi once, cant remember whether got indicator or not.

8. Reverse camera picture quality rather grainy. To low resolution perhaps.

No idea

I have no prob with ress, as long as can see the back will do.


Btw, BMW7833 bro, how is the papago? working?

Bro, got pic of your dynavin in your dash? Like to see the flushness of it.

 

[bmw7833]

This is how it looks in e39. lol..

 

[bkslee]

I like the knob, almost looks like original

 

[bkslee]

More.... with Media Hub

 

[bmw7833]

Dynavin for E46 is nice but the e39 one terrible lar.

 

[bkslee]

reverse camera

 

[bkslee]

ya.. the screen is smaller..

Another finding, when you play MOVIE from USB, it will resume back from the last part you stop even the engine is switch off but if you play it from SD card, it will not. You have to start from beginning and FAST FWD from where you left.

Another issue, yesterday while driving from Ipoh indicator on the dash panel showing my rear right light malfunction. Upon checking everything is functioning well. False alarm. Could be due to installation of the reverse camera? Do I need to reset using the scanner or some trick to get rid of the sign indicator?

Did u change to tail plate light to led light, my mech told me if put led light will show error code. However someone told me only older batch will have error code, newer one will not but i cant remember which year.

Just add a relay (RM 5.00) if error code comes on.

 

[bmw7833]

Yupe, if the check light come out, then have to add relay.

 

[TeD]

it is cheaper just to add resistor... resisitor cost 20 cent.

How much the Ohm value we should use?

My E39 also show the error code on panel as pic attached. I discuss with Haywire and Goggle bimmer forum, solution should be a resistor. 560 oHm is recommended. I have yet to fix it. Need to go back to the installer shop to do it I guess.

Bro, try my way..It is much more ideal coz resistor will become hot after a while..:4:

Great tips....many thanks

For e46, does the aircond module fit properly? Installed mine yesterday and there are gaps at the module. My 46 doesnt have the brake light error but the 39 does..I thought a 4.6 ohm resisitor will do the trick. yet to try.

Jarance, need help n the 46 as the DVD screen icons are in chinese.

I have install mine. The aircon module will not fit properly because the slot was design for spec compartment. You will have to remove it and cut some of the panel on the right hand side in order for the aircon module to sit properly. Also you need to "push up" the four retaining clips for the aircon module to hold onto the compartment.

You can select the language in one of the menu to display "English". Let me check first.
