Dope video I got one for my E39 which is still awesome and works incredible. I even installed an snes emulator which i have been playing street fighter 2 with an usb controller. I need to get one for my brothers E46 and watching your vid has helped me decide to go with the more factory stock looking version they offer. that thing just sticks out too much for me and if it bothers me i know its gonna bother him. Thanks i have deposited a like in your account. P.S. it look dope just not our style.
Thank you!!! "Putting the trim piece in upside down and turning" was the info I needed to complete my install. I had to file down in the spike on the trim piece in order to get it in the clip from the tiled angle but it worked with minimal modification
Thanks for the great video man! I went through a couple of videos when I got impatient and tried installing it on my own, you were definitely more helpful than the manual it came with lol. Unfortunately I don't get any sound from my unit, but I think it's because the previous owner had something else installed, the wires are all messed up and it looks like there's another harness inside already.
I just wanted to give an update I saw BMWselena’s video and figured out my problem, no splicing required, the harness you plug in has a blue wire, you connect it to the AMP on a plug into the unit. The one with the yellow, green, white, red cables that look like they belong on a TV, NOW I HAVE AUDIO YES
@@arsenicnuke Thanks for the compliment first off. Second, I have seen people have some problems with the blue wire. Glad you were able to work out your wire problem. Glad you enjoyed!
Me I’m enough people 👋🏼 haha but yeah I’m literally on the verge of ordering one for my golf R but just wanna make sure it’s gonna be good. I’m waiting on a reply from the company if I need a car play dongle or not cause the one I’m looking at says Apple car play is built in but android auto is not 🤷🏻♂️
Anthony Gualano it’s not a bad unit at all. Really Modernizes the car. Only thing I’m trying to figure out is if it’s possible to customize the head unit’s layout. I’m sure there’s a way to since it’s android based
CSOTB Idk if you’ve tried yet but you can download “car launcher”, or “AGAMA” both in the App Store. It will change the layout. I like “car launcher” preferably tho. I ordered mine should be here Saturday. Only thing I can’t find is a 4g dongle for constant WiFi in the car
thanks for the video, my radio did not fit and I did not know what it could be, I thought it was the cables, seeing your video solved my problem, cut like you and now the radio is perfect, thanks
If you have the Harmon Kardon sound system, there is a separate blue wire that you need to splice in. I don't know exactly where you splice it in though, so you'd need to look that up.
@@CSOTB I think it has to do with what year and what market it was sold in. They changed the amp on the HK a few times throughout the years. From what i've heard, 2002/2003 is when they changed it up
This is just pug and play right? I saw another video of someone running wires to the back for the battery and sound etc, but I watched your video first thinking it’s plug and play from the front
Go the settings menu and look for the option to turn on or off reverse audio. I think it has 3 options 1 is on 2 is like 50 mins and 3 is off. Either on or off should correct the no sound issue. Let me know if that works.
Update for no sound: 1st go to settings, 2nd go to car settings, 3rd go to driving settings, 4th select reverse audio and select on. That should fix the sound issue.
Plug in the stereo wires that came in the box. One of them should say Amp Con and Ant. On the harness theres a blue wire that says amp con. Plug them in and you should get sound. I had the exact same issue.
Seicane, Eonon, Xtrons etc. all make the "same" unit, but they use really different internals. Everywhere that I've seen (including my experience) Xtrons uses the best internals, and lasts the longest, but is the most expensive. Seicane is a lot cheaper than Eonon or Xtrons because the components are absolute trash.
Ok so I just got my car 325i 2003 I want up grade the sound system (radio/speakers ) Can you tell me the exact model number you put in your car . I really like and I need to get one .. 👍👍 Thank you so much man
Does anyone have experience installing an EONON unit in a 2016 BMW 325ci convertible. Info on line is confusing about whether unit works in 2016 car. Body of car is the older E46 and not the newer E90.
hey man did you have to splice any other wires cuz i watched another vid and a guy had to splice his amp wire to the acc so he can get the volume to work
Don't buy Eonon. I have bought two head units over 6 years from them. They don't support their products, don't offer software updates, use shitty mainland Chinese semiconductors, have faulty Bluetooth modules, constantly bug out on quick start which forces long start. The list goes on...
hi everone yes i have 2005 330ci went in fine but i will say this is not bad but too much interference makes your subwoofer jump on on/off and when you switch over radio to video
I have the older Eonon android unit for my BMW e46. Works great but it needs a fw or Android upgrade to login and get updates. Otherwise radio is perfect, plays iPod and CD's just fine. What is the best upgrade for my Eonon android unit that is on sale? 2003 BMW E46 with Harmon Kardon sound system??
Great vid bro. I install the same one but having a bit of trouble hoping you can shine some light on it for me. My android headunit keeps switching between inputs. Do you ever run into the same situation and how did you fix it if so
@@CSOTB how does your WiFi work is the antenna so your car is just always connected to some sort of WiFi and where you getting it from? I’m asking cause I’m tired of always using my hotspot
Been wondering why mine won’t sit flush, about to go try trim those sides down and see if that works, great video nonetheless, good detail and everything’s really clear, thanks for this bro
@@CSOTB wanted to know how to install an android radio on the e46...watched your video...saw this guys comment...saw youre out of the youtube game for 7 months...was sad...saw your comment to the comment...me happy now :)
It is snug but still loose, however you can buy specific kits for about 50-60 or get one on ebay for about 20 to hold it in place. but that requires you to take the shift boot, and trim piece around the shifter off so it makes the install a little more difficult
@@bmw0208 Not sure what you're referring to specifically, all I can tell you is that the unit I received came with everything I needed to install the radio. I worked for me right out of the box

Do you have the base model sound system or the Harmon Kardon? I have the latter and it worked right out the box but I've heard that people with the base model have to do some wire splicing
I know in the cars that have stock navigation you have to rout the harness and have to tap in the amp wire somewhere to get sound. I have an older android unit that had a wire to run from the from of the back to the front of the car but this unit doesn't have an amp wire in the front. any clue as to where the amp wire should be tapped into?
ua-cam.com/video/A_CSc5pQykk/v-deo.html that video shows this exact unit but on a car that came with gps. he has the harness needed linked in the description btw.
The answer is the avin avant 4 :P Way more fitting for the e46,e39 ec. and has powerful hardware and software and the awsome Ibus and bluetoth car play feature.

HahaHa Hahahuee iI found a M3 wheel in the junkyard and rewrapped it since the leather was worn
Technically all E46 ?
How did you get the start screen is this the 9450b,?
Not sure which model number it is, but the start screen showed up automatically once I turned it on
Audio is way too loud.
great freaking video man !!!!!!!
Thank you
Amazing video boss, i wanna do this for a 02 E46 318 compact, you think it's compatible??
Did you have harmon kardon speakers?
Yes I did
This is just pug and play right? I saw another video of someone running wires to the back for the battery and sound etc, but I watched your video first thinking it’s plug and play from the front

Could have. Recheck your connections. if it did, its an easy junkyard part to get
