Upgraded Head Unit 2004 Part2 | |
Hi , just an update to the last post of my Dynavin N6 head unit .
I have used it this week and as usual with these things its hit and miss , SO...
NEGATIVES ....The screen is reflective in sunlight , dependant on angle ( i don't know if the Android ones are the same )
The DAB is very hit and miss , when it's got a signal it's really good and i wanted to listen to alternative stations that are digital only ( 6 Music ) , but its a switch all or nothing and you seem to loose the presets if the signal goes completely so you set it all up again !!! I have looked briefly online and it seems a common issue with all DAB , i haven't had chance to look into solutions and it maybe i just need to play around with it to get right , but i was hoping for a system that didn't need faffing with to get it working .
POSITIVES......Sound quality is really good and lots of settings to play with , even a graphic equaliser ( for those of you like me who grew up in the 80's ) .
Touch screen is just sensitive enough so i am not treating it like a SinclairZX80 keyboard or its flipping through menu's too much .
Sat Nav ( By iGO ) is brilliant , they supply a lot of OEM systems to various manufacturers and it shows , it's a card based system so i can update it online when i need to , and i can do this with the firmware update for the head unit itself .
Easy iPod integration , the "cradle" i used has worked great and its all controllable from the unit , also the streaming works just as well and the bluetooth phone paring is easy .
All in all its really good , for those interested the unit is £599 with £140 for DAB and £40 for the extension for the Amp in the boot if you have one plus fitting , there are fitting diagrams in the user instructions so if your better at electrics than me you could save money , i just wanted peace of mind and a warranty .
If i have any other experiences good or bad i'll feed them back into the mix.
