If you're still not sure, get your VIN and go to With the Dynavin N7/N7 PRO, Dynavin has come up with a way to emulate the OEM head unit in a way that keeps the DSP amp active. Another way to know is if your car does not have stock navigation and your stock stereo has a DSP button on it, then it has DSP.
Note: All M series E39s and E53s have DSP.
Yes! ONLY the Dynavin N6, N7, and N7 PRO units do. The round pin wire harness is included with the Dynavin for E46.ġg: Will the E39/E53 Dynavin work with the DSP system?
But if you have an E46, let us know because you may need the flat pin wire harness which is only included with purchase of the extension cable. (The N7/N7 Pro’s short wire harnesses has one brown end and one black end instead of two black ends.) The round and flat pin harnesses are included with the E39 and E53 Dynavins. If you are upgrading your N6 or N7 to an N7 Pro, you won't need to purchase the extension cable again because it is the same on the N6, N7, and N7 Pro however, you MUST replace the short wire harness (round or flat) that plugs into the car's square plug. Upgrading to an N7 Pro in a car with an existing Dynavin extension cable: Standard practice is to run the signal cables (including the extension harness) down the opposite side of the car from the battery cable. *Be careful to note the location of the battery cable in your car, running the extension harness near the battery cable can cause noise/static issues. All you need to do is go to the main menu > Audio > scroll down and select OE DSP Amp to enable audio through your DSP amp. If you have OEM DSP, your install is no different.Finally, you will need to make a separate connection for the button lighting using the loose orange wire (see section #1d below for details). So, have the orange wire at the dash end.You will plug one end into the radio antenna input (pictured below) and the other end will run to the dash and plug into the teal plug on the Dynavin. The extension cable comes with an antenna extension as well.
You will run this cable up to the dash and plug it into the Dynavin. The other end of the short wire harness -that is now plugged into the car plug- will plug into the long extension cable. You will then plug in that square car wire harness into ONE of the appropriate short wire harnesses included with the Dynavin (either round or flat pin). You will locate the square car wire harness (pictured below) and unplug it from the OEM radio module. The extension cable (the "Fakra” cable) extends all the wiring from the radio in the trunk to the Dynavin in your dash.Otherwise you are likely to get engine noise and static. Locate the car’s battery cable and be sure to run the extension cable on the opposite side of the battery cable.Set it to a default setting before removing the factory radio. The factory amp retains the settings of the factory radio so when you install the Dynavin radio, it will use those same settings which can cause an echo in all audio sources. Before removing the factory radio, check its audio settings and be sure that it is set to a default audio setting.Round and Flat Pin short wire harness adapters (use only the one that fits the car's plug) Questions? Please contact or give us a call during normal business hours Monday-Friday. If you're not comfortable with this part of the install, we recommend finding an installer (particularly one familiar with your model car). On the appropriate Dynavin page for your BMW model, select "w/ OEM navigation (includes extension cable)" under the "Current Audio System" drop-down menu. So the extension cable and antenna extension cable (sold separately) will need to be run to the trunk (along the door sills and behind the rear seat) to bypass the OEM radio module and plug into the car's plug. If you have OEM Navigation in your BMW E46/E39/E53, your car's radio is in the trunk – typically on the left side of the trunk in the E46/E39 or in the center on the E53. If you have any questions as to which part you need, email or Message Us a picture of your console and we will let you know!ġc: My BMW has OEM Nav.
