Does the Dynavin integrate with the E39/E53 DSP system?

Yes! And, actually, only the Dynavin units do! We see a lot of people returning those direct-from-China units because they don't integrate with the factory DSP audio system. Our Dynavin for E39 works with DSP and non-DSP cars alike! And there's nothing extra you have to do nor are there any additional parts required!

Dynavin's innovative software is able to emulate the OEM head unit in a way that keeps the DSP amp active. This allows the Dynavin to be plug and play with the DSP system allowing retention of the OEM amp and speakers. Due to the architecture of the DSP system, there are some limits to the functionality of the system; for instance, the fader is not adjustable as the input to the DSP amp is 2 channel, not 4.

Note: All M series E39s and E53s have DSP. 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. If you're still not sure, get your VIN and go to www.bmwvin.com.

Just be sure that before you uninstall the factory radio, make sure the audio settings are set to default (not dance hall, etc.) since these settings are saved in the DSP amp and will affect the audio once the Dynavin is installed.

Troubleshooting: After installation, if do not have any sound, make sure the volume is turned up via the steering wheel control volume up button. Also, make sure the engine starts (car doesn't have a low battery). You may need to have the car load tested to ensure sufficient power is available to power the speakers.
