m9fdb Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Hi I have a 330Ci cabriolet with the factory widescreen sat nav and Harmon Kardon. I want to upgrade the head unit to a touch screen unit that will be compatible with my iPhone and still ideally have the TV, sat nav etc. I have seen a few different units on eBay and wondered if anyone has fitted any of these to their cars ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-DVD-Player-GPS-SAT-NAV-iPod-Bluetooth-Stereo-Radio-RDS-3G-BMW-E46-M3-330-325/302268776673?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 If anyone can recommend a place also in Essex that sells these head units I would rather buy directly from them than go through eBay. Thanks Darren Edited July 26, 2017 by m9fdb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p3tchy Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 If your going to go to the expense of changing it, spend a few extra and get one with DAB. I will be doing mine soon. Not sure on what unit I want yet but it has to have DAB and the latest android that's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m9fdb Posted July 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Yes a dab radio would be good I agree I'm just a bit in the dark as to what to go for and don't want to rush in to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisCooper Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hi m9fdb, Have a look around this and other BMW forums and to threads where others have posted up about their experiences with cheap chinese head units. You'll find that 'some' purchasers got a fully working unit that crucially, remained fully working long(er) term. You'll also find plenty more users who didn't get that and had units that ranged from dead on arrival to having small issues/niggles out of the box and initially installed to those who installed and found small niggles that progressively became worse etc etc. It's up to you if you wish to take the gamble as to if you 'might' get a fully working one that works fully longer term. There's none of the UK's respected and reputable car audio installers/dealers who stock unbranded/clone type cheap chinese units. Threre's too much risk of getting customer complaints and being out of pocket due to the risk of many customer product returns and them not having their money back from some 'seller' in China somewhere. The Dynavin brand and their UK importer lists a network of UK companies that will stock and fit their branded units - http://www.dynavinstore.com/Installation . These units are on a Sale price at £499 (£599 the usual price) currently, and any fitting charges, the DAB optional module and the DVB-T module will of course be extra. This would be the route I'd say to go if you want a Chinese unit and some peace of mind in case things go wrong. I say 'some' peace of mind, as there's still a significant number of purchasers who've had issues with their Dynavin units including one purchaser on this forum who proved successfully that the Dynavin N6 isn't fit for purpose for instance. Good luck whichever way you decide to go ! Cheers, Dennis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
