Dynavin head unit
#61
It's nice to see that you're integrating the factory camera and gps antenna into your head unit, but I am super curious as to how the most interface they provided is connected to your stereo. Is it simply power/turn-on/ground with an rca input, or does it have a special connector so it only works with your radio? Your setup looks good, I can't wait to see if the cars gps antenna plays nice with your head unit, as that would be ideal.

I finally received the fakra connector for the rear view camera and the blue fakra connect for the OEM GPS antenna. I am happy to report that after connecting it, the OEM rearview camera worked like a charm and the OEM GPS antenna also worked flawlessly. The signal strength is so much better than the Dynavin GPS antenna that I installed under the dash. For some reason, I cannot upload any more pictures. You can see my pictures here...

To get the rearview camera, I got the following cable from Ebay to hook the OEM rearview camera (green fraka) to the Dynavin unit (Brown RCA input)...

Along with this, I had to get this relay to convert the Reverse gear trigger from positive to negative trigger before connecting it to the Dynavin. This will allow the OEM camera to pop out when the transmission is put into reverse...
The other thing I got work is connect the Dynavin GPS input to the Cayenne OEM GPS antenna. The OEM antenna plug is located under the passenger seat connected to the existing Navigation DVD unit. It is a green fakra plug (female) so I had to order a blue fakra plug (male) connector from Ebay...

I also bought the following GPS Antenna cable from Amazon so that I can use the SMA end to connect to the Dynavin and cut off the other end and terminate it with the blue fakra crimp connector I got from Ebay.
I found this video for a DIY on crimping fakra connector.
I didn't have the tool so I just crimped really carefully with a plier and it worked fairly well. Order two or more of the blue crimp fakra connectors in case you messed up. I ordered 2 and good thing I did since I messed up the first one.
Hopefully - this will help any that are on the fence about this Dynavin unit with our Cayenne. It's a great unit and I'm extremely happy with it.
The only thing I can't seem to get to work is the traffic monitoring (TMC). I will play around with that some more in the near future. Don't hesitate to post or hit me up if you have any questions. Jeff, with http://www.jandtdistributing.com, is awesome and very help during the whole process. He is very responsive to emails.

I think you will be very pleased with this unit. It is so much better than the PCM 2.1, which is so outdated by today's standard. The rearview camera view with this unit is actually wider than with the PCM2.1 unit using the same OEM camera. I was pleasantly surprised by that.

Perhaps I skipped it here in this lengthy but informative thread, nor have I seen it on Dynavin's website, but is this system Sirius/XM satellite ready??

dvn-pc on the way!
Jeff with J&T let me know the unit has finally shipped so I ordered the cable and connectors for the GPS antennae. Thanks for the links koolkat1973 -
Not sure why I need to move the reverse camera functionality to the new unit. The camera seems to just go straight to the gauge cluster screen.
Just finished the Stage 2 with intake, cat bypass, and Evoms flash. Contemplating adding a front lip spoiler and then just drive her till the wheels fall off.

So far so good. I enjoy using this unit alot. The bluetooth functionality connects almost immediately to my phone. The navigation antenna takes about 5 seconds to connect to the GPS antenna. The touch screen interface is a little quirky at times but overall - it's not too bad. Sometime - the unit does not respond to switching inputs, but after turning it off and on, the issue is resolved.
Overall - I'm fairly happy with my purchase and have been enjoying this unit. It has many functionality plus an updated navigation with the most up to date map.

Here is some not so great picture quality of my install. It's not 100% complete as I'm still waiting for my fraka connector.
