General Information Thank you for choosing Dynavin. The Dynavin brand has existed for over 11 years and has developed into one of the best retrofit equipment manufacturers. In 2008, Dynavin began based on an idea to offer drivers an OEM-look multimedia radio system not only with significantly better features than the original system, but also with the same optical performance.
Connect the device only to those car-specific power and ground points specified by Dynavin. Avoid settings on the device which may cause distractions to the user while driving thereby endangering yourself and others.
General Safety Instructions The references in this section apply to most of our products, but not to all. If you have further questions, please contact your local dealer. Warning: opening the device housing will void your warranty unless permission is given by the manufacturer or distributor.
