Does the Dynavin have things like Apple Carplay, Android Auto etc because if you are doing this, you want to be getting those sort of things without a doubt.
For me, the Dynavin looks a bit old fashioned now, is it due an update?

Your Pioneer looks well integrated - nice work. Regarding the Dynavin - I think it's slightly dated look is intentional; to better suit the slightly dated look of the 997. You need to remember the rest of your dash was designed well over a decade ago - and I think the Dynavin is just trying to reflect that.
The absence of Android Auto was the biggest toss up for me between choosing the Dynavin, or an alternative branded provider like Alpine/Pioneer/etc. I settled on the Dynavin for two reasons:
1. I found the reviews of Android Auto on the cheaper media units to be average, at best. Going for a higher end version started to blow the budget I had in mind for something that I essentially just wanted to stream my spotify through. Moreover, the Dynavin allows you to skip songs on Spotify via the normal A2DP Bluetooth functionality - so beyong screen mirroring, the additional outlay seemed wasted.
2. Ease. I found never-ending articles explaining what cables/adapters you needed depending on whether you car has Bose, 8 speakers, 10 speakers, optical loop, etc etc. Then this seemed to change again when you looked at the player you were buying. Halford's told me I needed a £250 CANBUS adapter, or something! The Dynavin promised to replicate the existing PCM2.1 set up in a plug-and-play fashion. It delivered on that promise.

Surely the best bet is the latest model from pioneer with the right surround? The SPH DA120 is at least 2 years old now, probably more, and you should be getting DAB radio. Though saying that, depends where you live. I live in Hertford, so just outside London, and the wife's DAB radio in her brand new BMW clicks around and loses connection if we venture much further into the countryside, for example, when we were north or Saffron Walden the other day. Hardly in the middle of nowhere!
Seems the DAB signal is still pretty rubbish in places, dread to think what it will be like in deepest Exmoor!
