Save Radio Station Logos
For saving radio station logos a USB device is required. The USB device must be connected to the Media USB
cable to display them. In addition to logos, there can be other files on the USB device, such as music, videos,
pictures, etc.

The radio station logos are not provided by us.

Steps
1. Download the desired station logos from the Internet or from the station's website.
2. Connect a USB device to the computer.
3. Create a folder “RADIO” on the USB device for FM/AM memory locations and/or a folder “DAB” if you also
want to store station logos for digital radio. The letters must all be capitalized.

4. If you want to save FM and DAB logos, these two folders must be located in the root directory of the USB
device.
5. For the file size, make sure that the images do not exceed an aspect ratio of 122x92px. You may still need
to edit the images to adjust the size.
6. The files must be saved in .jpg/.bmp or .png format.
7. Now change the name of the logos to FM1 (DAB1) to FM15 (DAB15) or AM1 to AM15.
Make sure that these are capitalized again. The file name then stands at the same time for the
transmitter memory location.

8. In the image, FM1 stands for the first station in the FM range.
This image is stored for this station. FM2 is stored for station no.2 etc.

If the stations are stored in a new order on the device, the images would have to be renamed or changed
accordingly.

After you have successfully saved all the logos, insert the USB drive into the Media USB port. The data will be
retrieved automatically and the station logos will be displayed.

Vehicle (Only for VW & Skoda vehicles with MQB platform)
This function can only be used in VW & Skoda vehicles with MQB platform. The original vehicle settings
are retained.

The Dynavin unit offers the ability to display the vehicle information. The information displayed varies from
vehicle to vehicle. The Dynavin has limited ability to read vehicle information. Vehicle information details cannot
be given or guaranteed before the unit is installed.

Firmware Update
In the Info menu you can view the Dynavin's system information and the find the button to update the
firmware.

Before Installing:

You only need to update the firmware if your Dynavin is not functioning normally or if you are explicitly
instructed on Dynavin’s homepage or by a Dynavin distributor to do so.

Each update will be installed at your own risk. Dynavin is not responsible for errors which may occur during the
update resulting in the malfunctioning of the unit. Please ensure that during a firmware install that you have
constant power to the unit and there is no power failure or other voltage fluctuations. This may interfere with
the update process and make the unit unusable.

Use only media cards which are 100% failure free. If you use a defective memory card it is possible that the
update will not be able to install or that the update will damage your unit.

Use only firmware updates for your Dynavin that are approved by Dynavin and are found on Dynavin’s website.
Visit www.dynavin.com for available updates and to determine whether your Dynavin requires an update.

42
Firmware Update
On the Dynavin homepage, follow the instructions for downloading the firmware.

Download the available update firmware for your Dynavin onto a USB 2.0 drive. (This drive must be formatted in
FAT32. Please make sure to begin with a blank USB drive.)

You must extract the files and place them individually in the root directory of the USB drive(not in a folder).

Connect the USB drive to the USB-MEDIA extension cable.

Click the Upgrade Now button: “ ”.

If there is no update software on the USB drive or you did not first extract the files before copying them to the
USB drive, you will get a message as pictured below.

Only when the system finds the correct files on the card will the update process begin.

Once the system update software is detected, the small light in the top left corner of the “Upgrade Now” button
will turn green. Once the button is pressed, the Dynavin will begin downloading the firmware (do not remove
the USB drive). Once it has finished downloading, the unit will restart and install the update automatically. It is
possible that you will see a black screen for a brief time. The whole process will take about 3-5 minutes. You can
remove the USB drive after downloading has finished and the Dynavin has fully booted up.

43
Troubleshooting
The device freezes during a firmware update (or activation of an upgrade):

There is no need to panic. If you are sure that the files are properly present on the USB drive, keep pressing the
RST button until you see the startup screen of the device.

The device will now boot directly from the USB drive with the update files.
If the update fails again, please check the files on the USB stick. Contact us if further assistance is needed.

Radio reception very poor:

If you feel that the radio reception is weak, check the radio antenna connection.

Ford: After SWC upgrade my steering wheel buttons do not work:

For Ford models, the steering wheel buttons must be taught in analog. To do this, go to the “System” settings
and select the "Teach steering wheel" icon:
Press the desired function on the display of the radio (e.g. music louder).
Then press the button on the steering wheel to which this function (music louder) should be assigned. Perform
the steps for all functions.

Hands-free: My microphone cannot hear me:

Make sure that the supplied microphone is properly connected and that the connector plug is not wobbly. If the
plugs are connected correctly and the microphone is still not picking up your voice, please contact our support
at [email protected].

Hands-free: The other party hears me very poorly and/or with interference noise:
Noise is generated if the microphone is mounted on the windshield, for example. This should be avoided.
Otherwise, the microphone will pick up vibrations from the windshield.
If the microphone is attached to the A-pillar or directly to the ceiling light, you can try to increase the
microphone gain via the settings in the “Phone” menu.
If this also does not lead to a satisfactory result, please contact our support at [email protected].

My smartphone no longer pairs with the device:

Reset the Bluetooth settings on the device and remove the Dynavin from the Bluetooth list of your
smartphone. Reboot the Dynavin and reboot your phone. Then pair the smartphone again.
To reset the Bluetooth settings on the device, go to the “Phone” menu and press the settings at the bottom
right of the menu bar. Scroll to the Reset Bluetooth item and press it. You can confirm that all Bluetooth
settings have been reset if you do not see any smartphones paired under the "Phone list".
If this problem persists, please contact our support at [email protected].
