Dynavin N6 thoughts!
« on: August 12, 2014, 09:43:25 pm »
I recently decided to upgrade my standard RCD300 Headunit, Id looked down the path of an RNS510 unit but decided it was too much hassel (canbus upgrade etc).

I didn't want to buy a cheap ebay special so i took a chance at buying a dynavin N6 unit.

The fitting was simple enough after routing all the ipod leads, Bluetooth microphone and sat nav Aerial.

I know people on alot of the forums do not rate the old units, But i find this headunit brilliant it is fast the sat nav works great. I like the simplicity of it and how it looks OEM+.

I half expected the sound quality to be rubbish, but its brilliant and sounds amazing with the Eddy speakers.

Here is a link to the unit: http://www.dynavin.com/products/n6_vw.php


Anyone has an questions or opinions please feel free to reply.

Hi, just bought one of these after seeing this but just wondering if it works with the mfd, parking sensors and the climate control?

Thank you, I wasn't sure if it actually does work or if they need updating.

Any canbus problems or battery drain? Am I right in inking this has Bluetooth in the head unit and you don't need a separate Bluetooth unit?

Had been looking at the Dynavin N6 myself recently. Tom, any issues with it since purchase, or still good? Particularly the quality/ease of use of the ipod and bluetooth. Do you get full search facility from your ipod?

Is it only auto-electronics that sell them in the UK? I'd need to get someone to fit (however simple it is, I'm not doing it!), so would need to find someone to fit-only. Ideally I'd get it from somewhere supply and fit if I could, and be able to look at / evaluate / "touch and feel" for quality of materials and how it will look in the car etc (yes, I am picky, but hell this is £500 once paying for fitting).

Considering one of these as an alternative to the RNS315 to replace my RCD300 so interested to hear your experiences.

Couple of questions:
Does it have the same power behaviour as OEM - ie stays on when you switch the engine off, goes off when you take the keys out?
You mention a microphone - I thought it had a built in one, but does it come with external too?
Does it increase the volume as road speed increases, as per OEM? That's a seemingly minor feature I'd really miss!
Does it have voice dialling? I read somewhere that it uses a Parrott BT chip so would be surprised if it didn't...?
Did you get the DAB tuner?

Cheers  :happy2:

Yeah, it only turns off with the key (or off button lol)

I think it does have a built in one but also comes with an external one

I am not sure one this as only fitted it last night but will see tonight
Does it have voice dialling? I read somewhere that it uses a Parrott BT chip so would be surprised if it didn't...?
As above really
Did you get the DAB tuner?
No, you have to pay extra for DAB and digital tv
Cheers  :happy2:

Hope this helps if you are still thinking of it  :happy2:

Cheers  :smiley: Still thinking! Realising that to get all the features I want, I really need an RNS510, OEM sharkfin and OEM Bluetooth module, but that would be well over a grand so will have to compromise!

Hmm, I wish I’d have seen these before buying my RCD 510 DAB actually. They look great, very OEM looking and seem to have a lot of features and functions. Oh well, I’ll stick with the RCD 510 DAB, but I’d be interested to hear further thoughts on these.

Perhaps someone could make a Youtube video of the unit in use, functionality, how the menus look, how it all works and flows etc.
