Eonon D5150 (another cheap nav) + Optional TPMS

[Tnhl1989]

So after testing out the enco version it would seem that this is the next updated version besides the dynavin. I will most likely get this once I get the funds for it. What do you guys think about this one?

Holy cow that's cheap! I recently got the Eonon D5113U, so I'm assuming this is the upgrade (model number is higher)? I paid $400 for mine too. LOL.

[BavarianZHP]

Oh, I wonder if they fixed the CANBUS issue on this one. I would suggest you ask them... They told me they actually have a new version that works so the random start up screen is fixed. I've been trying to obtain one.

[bullfrogs_M3]

I keep telling myself "no more mods!" This really isn't helping much

[SoCalZman]

Wow that is cheap. If I did not already have nav this would def be on my list. It claims to be plug and play and keep car functions, too. Nice.

So this company makes Nav-type systems for various cars? I have never heard of Eonon

$336.00 is a steal, if it works well with few issues.

[BavarianZHP]

Seems like an upgrade to their D5113U as stated in the ebay and Eonon page links. Specs are better as well (4x65W sounnd instead of 4x45). It's funny that the 5113U costs more on Eonon's website AND on ebay yet it's more dated version... Hmmm. Time to return mine.

Are there mafia pics of aftermarket nav systems? My only thing is I want it to look as much like stock OEM nav as possible. If it looks too aftermarket-ish, I'll do the massive OEM retrofit even at a cost of functionality

In summary Eonon is the chinese imitator of Dynavin. The big drawbacks are customer support (engrish - but they've always responded within 24 hrs on multiple inquiries of mine) and returns (since you have to ship the unit back to mainland China...). There are further details about their differences: processors and software... I believe the chinese copy has a better processor but crappier software. I've never used a Dynavin so I cannot say.

Very very interesting. Thanks for that information. If this is a high quality product, this would (somewhat) counter my fear of dealing with any chinese based companies. I do not know anything about Dynavin either, though. I would compare the Dynavin and Eonon very closly regarding usability (youtube?) and research glitches.

Also, funny how a chinese company is complaining about a company making cheap knock offs of their stuff (see the banner message on their site about selling cheap imitators).

[BavarianZHP]

It's definitely not OEM quality. The hardware is there, but the software on the D5113U leaves a lot to be desired. Controls and UI are terrible (IMO) and really need improvements. I can live with it, but wouldn't be surprised if others couldn't. Dang chinese should hire better programmers! I know they have them! If the D5150 fixes these issues it would definitely be worth it, especially considering what you pay for. Dynavin's can easily break $1k with accessories: http://jandtdistributing.com/dynavinsolutions/bmw-stereo-navigation-units-and-accessories/bmw-e46-3-series/

A few of us have the D5113U. I have it installed and can post pics after work, but there are plenty of them on the internet - it really looks OEM.

Interesting indeed, the price is pretty good also. If this is the newer version shouldn't it be more? It's weird that is $100+ cheaper. I really want Nav but the glitchy software and the bad glare of the screen are some issues that bug me.

Technically the D5150 is more expensive (+$100). However, it's being sold at a 49% off sale versus 25% (D5113) - see my Eonon links for full details. The D5150 is confirmed as an upgrade to the 5113.

Yes, glare sucks but there are anti-glare protectors... Glitchy software is the killer.

[WOLFN8TR]

Oh Cool...

I couldn't access the links from work, bad Sig.

[BavarianZHP]

Ohhhh, I see that they replaced the "Band" button with the Home button. :facepalm

Now whenever we want to listen to the radio we have to find a soft key or switch through the modes!? ARGH. There should always be hard radio and nav buttons

[UdubBadger]

interface looks different than Dynavin. Hmmmm

[ryankokesh]

Yeah, think they rolled their own. Looks like they even have different nav software. Side note: my Dynavin is still dead. :(

[BavarianZHP]

Differences between the two Eonon's can be found here... Even though it says the new unit (5150) has an ARMs processor it's still listed as a SIRF V 500 MHZ so I'm not sure how reliable the info is*:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqcIaXIw9dhxdFBxZFUtd0l5c0N2UjkyQWtGOVZsU Xc&usp=sharing

Green is considered an advantage
Red a disadvantage
Yellow a difference but no real advantage/disadvantage

Of course comments are mine and it doesn't take into account the software: it only lists hardware specs.

*Both units do indeed have the 500 MHZ processor, but this is for the nav portion of the unit only - this is always ran with WinCE. The rest of the functions run off of the ARMS11 processor off of WinCE 6.0 (or android).

[BavarianZHP]

Also, if any of you have questions use the LIVE chat with Eonon. Got all of my questions answered in 7 mins, I got my first response within 2 mins. Apparently it does have the new CANBUS system and remembers where you left it off... Again, poor english on their side, so I'm not 100% confident that they knew what I meant. LOL.

[WOLFN8TR]

Thanks for the info.

Eonon is using something called "Kudos" for the navigation software in the new 5150... Never heard of them. If they kept it the same as the 5113, I can load any nav software I want though...

Yeah, that's how I figured out it was Kudos instead of Sygic... They also said there's a couple of ways to get discounts as well:

4) Negotiate - depending on who you get assisting you, you can get some discount...

I'll wait for someone else to get it then see what happens. I'd love a better system to control the iPod cuz the dynavin one blows dick. I wonder how the sound quality is compared to the dynavin though. I got a nice boost with it and upgraded speakers.

[ryankokesh]

I'm still surprised you get better quality... the quality with my v4 definitely went down compared to the Business, so they must have fixed something on the v5, lol.

I bet the sound quality on the Eonon isn't there. Just a hunch.

[Reckless]

In for someone to try because I have been thinking about the previous model. One thing I noticed is the new model has changing LED's (advertised - in case you want to match your girl's dress) Orange is not a color choice? Is red going to really match the BMW Orange

[BavarianZHP]

I'm thinking red will only match an Imola red car... :p

[BavarianZHP]

Just sharing an update from my research: I would wait for the E46f reviews before plunking down the cash for the 5150. There's nothing but issues at the Mazda forum:

http://www.mazda3forums.com/showthread.php?t=421097

Just skip to the last pages (90 or so), there's a lot of constant action going on there for the unit. Software (I believe) is exactly the same as what is geared for the E46.

[Tnhl1989]

Did anyone order one yet?

[BavarianZHP]

I'm thinking about returning my old one (5113) but I still have 2-3 weeks to decide. 60-day money back guarantee FTW. I'll definitely post my input if I do get one.

[BavarianZHP]

Ugh, I'm gonna return my D5113... Probably going to break even, since I'll have to pay shipping back for my old unit. From the looks of the reviews so far it appears to be an upgrade. I know (and confirmed from a user) they've fixed the volume issue for the HK sound, so it'll be worth it in just that regard alone. Volume range is fixed as well as incremental volume changes! Also the red appears to closely (but not absolutely) match the orange - it doesn't dim with our light dimmer/adjuster, but that's minor. At least the red lights only turn on when the headlights/DRL's are activated. Red looks pretty good from pictures - cant really see a difference even though I'm told there is some... I think the DVD/CD slot path lights are always on though, regardless of LCM status (minor and kinda cool I guess). Radio tuning is infinitely better than the 5113. The right knob now rotates (just like the left knob did) instead of being spring limited. Rotating the right knob surfs the frequencies. To search for the nearest station, you press the left and right arrows on radio screen. Sound is also supposedly improved from the D5113 noticeably.

From what I've heard, it is more difficult to install. Damn engineers decided to move the AV female connectors to the far left of the unit (as in pictures) right above the radio antenna input. As we all know, they just placed more hardware in the area with the least amount of space! LOL. Random pop up's may still be a problem with even the new CANBUS, I'm not sure and will ask again, but he needs more time with the unit.

[BavarianZHP]

Also, I have many maps for these units... So if you wanna save some money, you can get your own SD card (I suggest 8GB Class 10 micro SD card) and send me a PM or something.

Garmin
Igo Primo
Ndrive 11
Sygic Aura (v12), I know version 13 is out and will try that as well soon.
Kudos 7 (default on 5150)
Sygic 10? (default on 5113, some 5113's have Igo)

Granted I haven't had the time to try all of them out yet since that's a lot of nav time and I barely drive. LOL. If you are willing to test, send me a message. These should work on the older units as well.

EDIT: I only have USA maps - some (not sure if all do) have Canada/Mexico as well. However, any region should be relatively easy to obtain.

[johnrando]

Great info, looking forward to more input, as my NAV seems to be starting to have minor issues.

[Johal E32]

Hmm. I just want to wait a few more weeks to hear some more reviews and stuff. If all is well, I'm gonna pull the trigger on one of these units.

[BavarianZHP]

Seems like random starts have been fixed with the new CANBUS according to e46fanatics folks... Very promising indeed. Yeah, I'm definitely returning mine tomorrow...

Little off topic, but I tried IGo Primo 2.4 and it's indeed much better than Sygic. I gave Pip Sygic 12 and he also agreed Primo was better. Much more user friendly.

No problemo. I still need to try out Garmin and NDrive. IGo Primo seems far better than Sygic and Kudos 7. I'll setup a download link for the files soon.

Link is up for Igo Primo 2.4. Please PM me for link and password since anything posted here can be seen by anyone. It's around 4 GB. Simple to use, download and place into microSD card. Insert into nav unit. Select the .exe file for the file path and you should be good to go.

EDIT: Link will be available until the 15th of next month. I'm using a free 30-day trial of SafeSync for the large upload. Let me know if anyone has problems... Feel free to give any suggestions on how to share gigs of data.

[Tnhl1989]

I just got the eonon and it's pretty good overall. I'll test it for a few days and order a rear view camera to set it up with. Once I get all that I will do a full review. I am pretty glad about the device. There are some minor things but overall I would give it a 85% positive rate.

[ELCID86]

Intriguing option. I really felt like my ZHP felt stark after being in Jon's. I think that the nav makes a difference.

BTW Charlie, I love the sig. Makes me want 135s. Although you should paint your rear calipers to match the bmw performance.

Review on e46f

http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?p=15511245#post15511245

1 week Update:
So its been about a week now since I've installed the unit. Everything fits up nicely, no strange rattles or pops from the speakers.

Radio:
I installed the 40VW10 antenna adapter and it mated right up to my factory antenna booster (MY2001). The radio reception is just like the OEM setup, so can't complain there. All my stations save correctly even after the unit restarts.

SD Card:
I used a 16 GB Patriot SD Card and loaded up my music library (categorized by folders) and some movies. Movies are in divx/xvid/avi format and play just correctly. The folders are easy to navigate and the sound quality is better than OEM, pretty much the same as my previous pioneer headunit.

Bluetooth:
Bluetooth pairs automatically when I start the car and has no issues dialing out / receiving calls in both navi/radio modes. People mention it can be hard to hear my while accelerating, but I've got a pretty loud exhaust as is (Agency Power). The call log is spotty at best, sometimes I see some calls in there that don't show up in my call log. The phone book loads just fine, however, all the contacts show up in random order. This is most likely due to the fact that I don't have any contacts stored in my phone. All the contacts are setup through Google, and synced in, so there may be an issue with the contact hash code being read by the unit.



A2DP works as well. I can play / pause / skip tracks from music stored on my phone ( Galaxy S3 ). If i open up pandora/songza, it will play through the speakers as well. The sound quality is pretty good, although sometimes, there's a little stutter when you first start playing music. The play/pause/skip works with pandora/songza as well. There is no display of the song that is currently playing though.

Steering Wheel Controls:
This is pretty much the only real issue I've had with this unit. The steering wheel controls work for volume/track change/mode change/eq change. I have had no luck programming the controls for custom actions, I am currently speaking with an Eonon rep to rectify this. There seems to be an issue with the canbus adapter activating the mode button each time the car starts, thereby putting the unit into aux mode regardless of where you were last. Currently, I have my canbus disconnected as I never use the steering wheel controls anyways, and waiting for news from Eonon. With the canbus disconnected, the unit remembers whichever mode you were in last.

Navigation:
I never used the stock maps with the unit. I purchased a 4 GB microSD from walmart and loaded a copy of iGo Primo 2.4. It is working flawlessly, but as with all winCE navigation systems, tweaking is required to get it just how you like (poi's, nuance tts, etc). The system plays music in the background while in navi mode, and when you turn off the car, it will remember your route. The only issue with the navi so far is that I cannot watch a DVD/SD while having the navi on in the background. The navi system seems to pause when you leave it for more than 30 seconds, so you cannot hear instructions in the background. Having the movie/music playing in the background with the navi on in the foreground works just fine.

Issue Recap:
1. Steering Wheel CAN-BUS cannot be reprogrammed and puts you into aux mode each time. The fix is the leave can-bus disconnected, or potentially cut the mode wire ( I haven't tried this )
2. Navigation can't be used while in the background. You can have other audio sources playing in the background, but navi must be in the front.
3. On my harness, the USB/DVD/SD audio did not work from the get go. Radio worked fine. The fix is to cut the blue wire on the harness, and attach the ANT1 blue wire that is attached to nothing, into the harness, then just cover the cut blue wire from the unit. It seems like Eonon accidentally swapped the wires around on the harness.

Overall Thoughts:
Totally worth the $366 for the unit. It came well packaged and had all accessories. I wouldn't bother with the maps, as I heard the maps that come with the unit suck anyways (from the Mazda3 forums D5151, which is essentially the same unit). The audio quality is great. It seems like they fixed most of the issues from the other dynavin clone units. The install was a little frustrating due to the blue wire issue, but for the price, I wouldn't hesitate to make the purchase again. I have not tried the ipod interface, as I don't use my ipod at all (my nano still says plug into iTunes for the first time lol). The canbus issue may be a big issue for some, but for me, I've had aftermarket headunits in my car since my 330ci, so I've never used the steering wheel controls anyways. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to update the look of their interior and have some new toys to play with as well.

[WOLFN8TR]

Thanks for the review! Sounds like its is totally worth the money. Is Eonon addressing some of the issues you have mentioned?

Thanks Tony! Very interested in ipod reviews with this unit if someone has it. Also, I'm not sure I'm clear, the steering wheel controls DON'T work with this unit?

[Tnhl1989]

Steering wheel controls do work if you don't mind the random start up at the beginning. I normally just turn on and off the car. Usually it starts on a random mode.

Just updated igo software and deleted some files that isn't needed to speed up performance and loading times. I just downloaded more files and will do a update later tonight. The newer igo has a better sense of volume built into the system. So the GPS is well mix into the music now.

I will take the device apart and see what else I can do to reroute the wiring setup that they did. Not a fan of the large mess of wires they got. It prevents the unit from mounting flush.

[BavarianZHP]

Careful about taking the device apart, I believe it will void the warranty... Try not to if you don't have to.

[Tnhl1989]

Yeah I know it voids the warranty but for the stakes of gaining more information about the device someone has to. It's for the greater good :)

Nice work Tony! So why is it you even needed to do this? Eonon needs to fix these little issues. I was just reading the thread on E46Fanatics and when they email Eonon they get short responses with Emoticons!

Just got mine installed. Had to splice the wires in the harness and ultimately had to significantly trim the butts of the antenna and Ipod adapters. Both were simply too long to install with the unit and get even remotely close to flush. I'm talking 1/4-1/2" sticking out. After more hours than I care to admit, I got it installed and after playing with it, all seems operational, including the screen dimming with lights. Bluetooth wasn't quite what I was hoping for, no voice commands at all so dialing out will require hands operation. Receiving is good...the bluetooth button on the steering wheel works fine at answering and ending the call. The CANBUS issue is annoying having it constantly change to a different input when you restart the car, but it's picking between AUX, Radio and Ipod...and it seems pretty random so there's a 2/3 chance I'll be fine with what it lands on.

[BavarianZHP]

Hmmm. I had to buy a separate antenna adapter (smaller one) so my 5113 would fit. The Ipod adapter that came with the unit had a 90 degree bend. Are you saying that the 5150 doesn't have that elbow bend so it doesn't fit???

[scooby24]

Yup its a straight connector. Needed significant trimming.

[ELCID86]

all seems operational, including the screen dimming with lights.
Did you use Tony's method of adding a pin and tapping the wire?

Input roulette!

[scooby24]

Nope it worked without adding another pin. The screen dims but leds don't. Heard a rumor the canbus issue might be able to be identified with a relay that delays the canbus turning on before the head unit does. Eonon should fix that if so.

[WOLFN8TR]

Guys are saying if you turn off the unit then the car it will retain which mode you had it on, AUX, Radio, Ipod etc.

[Tnhl1989]

That's true.

Again my car never came with a light sensor. I retrofitted it in. So that's why I needed the extra wire. :)

[WOLFN8TR]

Gotcha I did not know the 03 ZHP didn't have that. Do you know if it's all years?

[cakM3]

Gotcha I did not know the 03 ZHP didn't have that. Do you know if it's all years?

Gary, I think it's only the '03 ZHPs that didn't have the light sensor...at least my '03 didn't come with it either. '04 and later had light sensors.

I plan to retrofit auto rain sensor/light sensor into my ZHP as well sometime this year...

[WOLFN8TR]

Awesome thanks Charlie!

[Tnhl1989]

Only 2003 didn't have the premium package. :( that's what I am in the process of retrofitting it into my car. Vmbcb

[scooby24]

My car is an 03 ZHP with no light sensor (auto lights) so just confirming, my car somehow still does dim the LCD light when I turn on my headlights.

[BavarianZHP]

That's odd. If I remember correctly, the 5113's screen dimmed with headlights and the light surrounds for the buttons also dimmed and only turned on if your lights turned on... I could be wrong, but that's what I remember.

[Tnhl1989]

Just ordered 3 of these to test out with the head unit. Hopefully this solves the canbus issue. Of course used the affiliate link.

Well I must say I do do a lot of research and follow up with a lot of things. Also can't say I did it alone since I had to contact Chad to fully understand the wiring set up and what not. I never really like testing out the voltages of the wires since I just don't know how to do it correctly. So I usually just try things out and hope for the best. :)

Actually I need to do some testing. Seems like it is working in reverse. Haha

So it is actually staying on for like 20 seconds when I turn the key then turning off. Instead I want it to be in the reverse and stay off for 20 seconds then turn on.

[cakM3]

perhaps the timer dial should be all the way to the right instead of the left when you set it?

[Chad44]

I have to make a new drawing for the thread- my wiring diagram isn't quite right because at first I didn't quite understand what he was trying to accomplish.

He's changing a wire over tonight from the 87 contact to the 87a contact of the relay, which will resolve his current problem of it working backwards.
In the drawing, I show the radio accessory wire being cut, but that wire just gets tapped into for trigger and relay pin 30 power, while the accessory on wire of the canbus will be wired to 87a.

I ended up modifying my camera and nothing on the car (no dremeling/drilling anything on the car and such, it's possible...)

[BavarianZHP]

Goes without saying, but test the camera and all wires before installing it. I had a bad AV cable and didn't do this... Needless to say, it was a PITA to diagnose and I had to eventually swap it out. Threading the AV cable through the trunk loom was the hardest part IMO and I had to do it twice.

[cakM3]

Tony....I'm watching your progress in this thread.... now you got my attention ;)

[Tnhl1989]

So snaked the RCA cable through the grommet. It was stuck so I applied a lot of pressure. Apparently the wire inside split which cause me not to have a signal. I'll replace it this weekend and give you all a update. I did test the cameras with another cord and a 9v battery and confirms they work. :)

[scooby24]

I'm not sure I understand why some instructions are calling for a wire powered when in reverse in addition to constant +12v?

http://e3.www56.babidou.com/pic/2011/2/9/cardvd2011/camera/carmera/Skoda_013-ccd.jpg

Why couldn't you just use a single 12v power source like the reverse lights to power the camera?

[Tnhl1989]

All depends in the camera that is purchased.

[scooby24]

Any reason not to go with a wireless setup? Sounds like a lot of you all are busting the AV cable with how tight a squeeze...would be nice to not have to fish the wiring at all.

http://e3.www56.babidou.com/pic/2011/2/9/cardvd2011/camera/carmera/Skoda_014.jpg

[Tnhl1989]

I thought about it but didn't go that route since its not much work to route the cable and also there isn't much room left behind the head unit with the relay and everything being routed back there. The cable is only a dollar or two to replace anyways.

[scooby24]

Ok, help me clear something up...

Went ahead and ordered this camera which looks to be the sedan specific one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400480245484

Now, been reading up and it looks like the issue with older head units is the backup camera signal wire (pink) was not spliced into the CAN bus connector in the harness so it either had to be manually spliced, or you'd have to run a reverse signal wire from the fuse box and/or back of the car at the reverse lights.

In the D5150, that pink wire in the number 5 pin on the unit IS connected to the CAN bus. Am I correct that no signal wire needs to be run to the head unit?

This wiring schematic as simple and straight forward as this?

[TomTomTuning]

did they accept your offer ?
Nope, no response yet. I submitted it at 8:30am Eastern.

14+ hours ago :(

[rguti153]

damn , maybe somebody got fired for selling it for 350 instead of 999.00

I just sent them a message, lets see if that helps speed things up. It's 11:36am there now.

When I go to "Review offer", it says there's 8 competing offers. :(

[rguti153]

Damn we should offer less . N try to get as cheap as possible

Damn Tom! Interesting to know that there's 8 comepeting offers and I offered them $341 and they accepted.....:scratchinghead

[TomTomTuning]

Agh, I know dude I'm super bummed. There's still time though.

There's 9 offers at the moment, I'm guessing they all came in after Gary's post.
And I believe you submitted yours before me, so you got lucky. LOL

They also did not respond to my message I sent them. It's 8:34pm in China right now.

[WOLFN8TR]

Tom that Sucks. I will sell you mine for $899, that is $100 off. LoL. Well look at it this way your "SO" can't get mad about you buying something else.

When you submitted the offer did you right any comment like Charlie and I did. Charlie stated the fact these are selling for $341 on their website, so he offered $341. I stated several of my buddies on the BMW forums just bought these a few days ago for $350 (stated the price on their website also) and the "Buy it Now" price of $999.00 Must be an error. Try submitting another offe. Good Luck!

Hahahaha, you're so kind! ;)

I didn't submit a comment and I thought maybe thats why I didn't get a response. So thats why I sent them a message, I essentially said a combination of what you and Charlie said. I can retract my offer but that will count against my eBay profile, so I will wait for the offer to expire (tomorrow) and then try again if they dont approve it today.

"Dear customer
Thanks for your email.

Sorry,We have no stock for this model,And it will come back at the end of this month.

Pls feel free to contact us if any question.

WTF? I checked their store and it appears they posted a new listing. They haven't declined my offer yet, if they did I would make an offer on the new listing.

They had two D5150U units listed on their store, only one had a "Make an Offer" button. It says more then 10 available!

Tom, I think in that auction Eonon ment there were 10 available and they sold all 10 for that auction. At least based on your recent email, it makes sense. Sorry to see though...

Keep a close eye on Eonon's website. They are still listed at $341. You can enter a email address to be notified when back in stock.

Ya that's exactly why I bought mine now. They are pretty much $999 everywhere else, every eBay seller raised the prices on these. I had 4 or 5 in my watch list for $350-$450 and all of a sudden the prices jumped to $999!

That's why I pulled the trigger on my unit....I have a feeling the next batch of Eonon head units will be much more expensive than the $341 price tag they were selling these at....hopefully I'll be wrong....

Interesting....I just checked my eBay summary and found this same exact email from Eonon. If I choose to wait I will still get my unit for the $341 I submitted and am tempted to let them know I will wait for my unit just in case pricing on these go up like I'm guessing they will.....I suspect that their other auctions will provide the same results as this one has. Gary, I would tell them that you're willing to wait for them to ship a new unit out to you. This way if pricing goes up like I think they will, you will have gotten yours for well under the new pricing...:thumbsup

[BavarianZHP]

The unit is good at $350. No way it's worth $600-$1000 with the bugs it has though.

[WOLFN8TR]

Ya that's what I'm thinking.

I was going to reply "Sure I will wait if you sell 1 of these to my buddy Tom for $341".

[cakM3]

The unit is good at $350. No way it's worth $600-$1000 with the bugs it has though.

Agreed but pricing is usually controlled by demand. Seeing how the demand for this product has gone up recently, I wouldn't be surprised to see pricing go up accordingly...

[BavarianZHP]

Oh. I'm in no way disappointed with the unit. On the contrary, I love it and would purchase it again in a heart beat :biggrin... It's functionality is unmatched with its price point. However, if I had paid $600 for it - I would've expected perfection.

[WOLFN8TR]

My response to Eonon:

Hi Fiona,

I will wait to when the D5150's are back in stock.
("If you would like to wait, we can give you 10USD coupon for compensation.")

I have a friend of mine that tried to put in a offer for a D5150 at $350. He hasn't gotten a response yet, his name is Tom. Can you please reserve one for him also when available. Fellow members in a BMW forum I belong to are also very interested.

Thanks for the response.

I tried to avoid buying one of these and got a USA spec for my ipod instead but unfortunately I really don't like the interface and the inability to scroll through artists and albums on the head unit. I guess I'll be standing in line for an Eonon once they are back in stock as long as they are $350. $999 is laughable - that must be their way of stemming demand until they are back in stock yet keeping their ebay auctions going.

[Tnhl1989]

I don't think it's as buggy as people believe imho. :)

[ELCID86]

For those who already have the OE Navigation you will also need to get this...


It's not advertised on the Eonon web site but from doing a little research on this head unit, I came across a few threads that pointed this issue out...

Even if I could get one at a decent price, i'm a bit intimidated by the needed Dynavin M5 cable, etc. Anyone here done it?

[Tnhl1989]

I believe Charlie would be one of the first. There is one person on e46f that has.

[jgt_zhp]

Not even sure if I want one, but I put in a $350 offer just for the heck of it. If it pans out, awesome, it'll be a nice upgrade

Buy a Dension Gateway 300. You'll have to find an overseas seller to ship it, but it is the best unit by far IMHO. You can perform these functions with it. I know, I have one. :)

Ok I just received this email stating my D5150U was shipped. The email is from yesterday at 11:30pm. I'm not complaining but a bit Strange....

[TomTomTuning]

That is strange... Hmmm

I was reading up on the unit last night and one downside I'm a bit disappointed is, it does not support SiriusXM.
Thats probably because it's a Chinese unit bla bla bla, but I miss having XM radio.

Thanks :-) I emailed Dension to get their advice. Still interested in this unit too (once back in stock and price reduced).
