Bluetooth handsfree and music

amullo · 04-22-2014, 03:58 AM

Hey Guys.

Ive been looking for a way to get Bluetooth handsfree in my car and I´ve been racking my brain about what to get.

The "easiest" plug and play option for my HiFi equipped E91LCI seems to be the KUFATEC FISCON system I found when googling.

From what I can understand, Its a "plug and play" full Bluetooth option incl steeringwheel integration aswell as music streaming option. I can also install the OEM microphone in the ceiling for a totally factory look.
Im also in the EU, so shipping is ok, asI have a local supplier.

Cost for this option would be ~3900 Swedish Kroner (Roughly 520 USD)

BUT,
Iva also looked at Dynavin.
Granted, Its about 50% more money but functionality is good and the HiFi soundsystem needs some form of upgrade to sound better (Im thinking an EQ might be a good idea).
Not really bothered about the NAV, as I use my phone with WAZE mostly. But the cost has me hesitating. The supplier is also local, so I will have support if I need it.
Cost is about 5600 Swedish kroner (roughly 750 USD)

Anyone care to have an opinion?! Is the extra 230 usd worth it?

I usually just use the radio for easy listenening, but I do talk alot on the phone while driving (traveling salesmen). The audio is usually radio, CD or MP3s off a USB memorystick.

Im doing the install myself, or atleast thats the plan.

Why not go for something like this and keep everything oem.

If you are still going through the Hi Fi amp and speakers
I don't think you would get much sound quality improvement but for the
base system its gotta be better.

What I get from the above threads is although the Dynavin looks like it belongs in the dash
its kind of a clunky low quality unit. Also you have to be aware of all the side effects of a
aftermarket HU install and be ready to counter them if needed.

I would consider the new RAD3 head unit which has BT included.
