Another type of Chinese double din - Page 22

Hey, great review CDTI; I bought mine from a Chinesse dealer (http://www.cnhenhao.com) and I'm quite happy with it so far. Nevertheless I've been experiencing some problems since the beguinning:
- Rds function just goes off everytime you restart the device, and it doesn't work back until you adjust the radio area section within the config. menu.
- I just can't change tracks unless the unit is screening the dvd/sd players. So that if gps screen is being displayed, the device can't operate the forward/backward functions.

Did you have any of these problems?
Could you please show the link for the firmware upgrade?
Thanks

I didn't experience any of these problems with my unit.

Thanks CDTI ;-)
So, is anyone else experiencing problems with the RDS function? (it goes off when restarting the unit and doesn't come to work until radio area is adjusted in setup menu)

By the way, my unit doesn't produce the annoying beep you talk about when pressing any button or touchin the screen.

It seems I'm not the only one having problems with the rds function and skipping tracks in gps function. Some members of the BMW planet are having them too:

Very interesting gents, I have tried to absorb the 20+ pages but have come up a bit confused.

I got to know about Dynavin for the BMW E46 through a friend and really liked the look of the unit. Today while working and dreaming I thought I wonder if the unit would fit my ZTT. I have the original Kenwood CD multi changer fitted with steering wheel controls, after looking at the console I thought that maybe if I omitted the top cabby hole and Kenwood the unit would fit above the climate controls.

Hey presto after a google search I found this thread (Should have looked here first, Lesson learnt) and see I Sean sells the Android which to me looks the same as the Dynavin for the BMW. The Dynavin is plug and play for the BMW so I guess the Android is more splicing into cables as no big plug is in the kit to just plug and play.

The Dynavin comes with a Microphone and USB cable, GPS antenna I wonder does the Android? They seem very simular software and display.

I will try to read through again to find the answers but the thread is quiet varied at times.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Ian.

I want one, I am gona nag till I get one and I want it now!

Seriously tho with the andriod how easy is it to fit?
There is a utube clip but they seem to take more time taking bits apart than actual conection. Is the unit plug in or do I need to solder wires etc?

Thanks for the reply Sean
