You can go into the settings and there’s a option to keep it in a sleep mode for a preset time. So if you go in somewhere and are not gone from the car more than a hour it boots instantly. I had that same issue until I found that setting. I don’t remember where but if you dig around u will find it. Good luck. And rooting mine was the best thing I ever did. I actually downgraded the version of android version and it speed it up a lot. Also to remove the logo use acetone free nail polish remover. You need to find something similar to practice on but with the right amount on a microfiber and it comes clean. Like a practice place would be to remove the radio trim and practice on the edge. Good luck 👍 on board mic works good that’s what I use also I haven’t had any issues running CarPlay with the 2 rear usb. I think they are hard wired in just uses the proprietary connections for that plug. My radio came with that harness.
Hi Evan, apologies for the inconvenience caused. We have contacted with you via email and will do our best to help you resolve the issues on your unit. Please keep contact with us there, thank you.
I like a lot about your radios however I think it would be more appealing without the branding on the front and how the mic is labeled, it ruins the clean look. Also dislike how the mini usb and SD ports are visible, think it would look cleaner with a flap of some sort to keep hidden unless in use like some other aftermarket radios. Otherwise it appears to be one of the best aftermarket radios available, I think if you consider those things it would look SO much better!
Well I was almost about to make the plunge but have my concerns now. Was about to purchase the GA9150B because I like the factory look. Might consider a 9" if it looks factory. I'm now looking at the Amaseaudio 9" The main apps I want to run are Spotify, Wayz, and Satellite radio with Apple CarPlay. Wireless would be great but I don't have a real problem plugging in. In your opinion what do think is the best option? Thank you for your informative videos!!!!!
Hi, In your install video, you placed the GPS and wifi antennas inside the dash? How is the reception for those two functions with them being installed there? I'd like to avoid routing them to the a- pillar or window.
@@EvanGoyuk You said wifi reception was great. I'm assuming you were outside your house/in a garage and picking up wifi? Granted I won't use it a lot, most times I'd be using the sd card slot to upload anything the head unit needs.
OK... So I'd like one of these Eonon units. I love the GA8150A because it flows so well with the style of the car and looks pretty easy to install, "plug and play". I am very concerned with all the issues I am hearing about but think I might still take the dive... How well is their product supported? Are they easily returnable? Where is the best place to purchase?
Hi! Could you help a new E46 owner! I got an E46 2003 318i but the obs2 scanner say that fuel injector 1 failed and 1 cylinder ignition coil! Could you please show me how to Do it my self? I want to learn how to fix my own BMW! Will this problem damage the engine if I drive the car?
Your interference is caused by the ground. This can be a problem in aviation radios. Research Avionics... multiple ground loops. Hope this helps. The problem with cars is there are grounds all over the place. Thanks for the video!
Wow, that boot up time as put me right off this, after watching your installation I thought I’d give it a go, but wow that’s so long. Cheap knock offs must be worse?
Yes check out all the electronics, check the control arms and water pump if possible. Make sure all windows go up and down with out any weird noises. Lastly check for subframe damage. This is important
Installed in my 2001 BMW 330Ci Convertible is an older Eonon D5201Z head unit. When the top is down, the glare on the screen makes it impossible to operate the radio via touch. Your videos show a lot of reflection. Will I have the same problem should I upgrade?
I would say glare is probably not going to be any better for you with newer. I've had 5150 and currently this one in my 02 330ci. I have a non-sunroof car so I dont have to much to complain about but the screen otherwise seems the same to me.
I do like this radio and I hope they fix these issues moving forward. Not sure if you noticed but they did come out a new version with Oreo. I really like the OEM look with buttons, dials, even the volume lettering. I DO NOT like the branding on the front and how the mic is labeled, it ruins the clean look. Also dislike how the mini usb and SD ports are visible, think it would look cleaner with a flap of some sort to keep hidden unless in use like some other aftermarket radios. Its a nice radio, it looks OEM but could look better in my opinion.
Anytime, a lot of people do not know this and the instructions say to connect it. But, I was just playing around one day trying to solve the static problem.
Not out of box but I have a solution for it to work and you can even code your car through it including pdc monitor. I will be coming out with a video about it so stay tuned.
The Eonon I put in my E53 has a lot of radio static. And when it boots up mine changes between stuff previously running. If I have the radio on at shutdown it may start up next time on cd or something else. If I wasn't forced to cut up the dash to install this I'd go back to my stock one. Eonon is junk for $400!!!!
you are right, I have the Xtrons ver. bluetooth sucks ass, and it lacks the power of any other cheap radio. I will be sending it back to amazon. there is only one positive,,,HD radio sounds good thats it.
Maybe it’s possible to turn off apps that turn on when when u turn on the radio? My 2002 325ci radio doesn’t even work lol, it says a.m and makes a sound if u press the eject button 😂
Just got me 330 ,,, time for a sound over,,, please help me get the right speakers, we, amps, and sub.,,,,2006, thanks a lot and as always,,, great videos and advises.
Loving your videos on the e46 man, did not regret subscribing! Keep it up!

5:45 my stock radio sometimes does this , but it is very rare that it does it
Same for me.. 03 330ci vert

Ive bought the same radio with a backup camera and it doesn't even trigger automatically
You can enable it in settings
@@EvanGoyuk I did (costumer support told me how to) but it had no effect...
I'm glad someone that's not a corporate shill finally did a review on one of these haha
Addressing a buzzing noise, that is possible bleed over ... that could be a grounding issue are source emitting a signal

Reception is great
@@EvanGoyuk Good to know. I saw in one of your later videos the unit kept blowing fuses. Did you ever get that sorted out?
Yes, I think it was my fault
@@EvanGoyuk Gotcha. Did you end up staying with Eonon or going a different brand?
@@EvanGoyuk You said wifi reception was great. I'm assuming you were outside your house/in a garage and picking up wifi? Granted I won't use it a lot, most times I'd be using the sd card slot to upload anything the head unit needs.
Great video. Bought one and installed it. Any idea where I can get a GPS chip so I don’t have to keep using my phone as a hotspot?
What 9 inch stereo are you talking about? Can you post a link? Thanks
What kind of dongle did you need for the apple carplay? Does it come with the radio?
No you have it buy it

DON’T buy the Eonon one. BUY the Avin USA avant 4 better in every way
Where did you get that blue rim around the steering wheel logo
Amazon
How can I find this speed widget?
My volume issues with sterring wheel buttons are worse than yours. My unit is the newer android 8 versions
I have the same radio with the same interface. Having all the same issues as you.
I think I want to try a different brand with the 9 inch radio
My buddy got the Hizpo 9". Looks great and has no logo on it.
I will look into
@@EvanGoyuk which radio have you found to be the best with back up camera for the e46 323i
Hi, what’s the dongle u have for apple CarPlay??
I have the wireless one from Avin USA
Do you get any static while listening to music through Bluetooth???
Not at all
@@EvanGoyuk awesome thank you
my volume button on stock head unit does the same thing(sometimes), changes the song instead of the volume, so i dont think its the eon.
Hi! Could you help a new E46 owner! I got an E46 2003 318i but the obs2 scanner say that fuel injector 1 failed and 1 cylinder ignition coil!
Could you please show me how to Do it my self? I want to learn how to fix my own BMW!
Will this problem damage the engine if I drive the car?
I havent found a fix for my issue but mine restarts randomly while using it
I do not experience that but maybe it’s a loose wire?
Will a ga9150a or a ga9150b work with my 2005 330ci convertible?? In your opinion what is the best stereo I could get for this car? Thanks!
This is my question, and will this work with iPhone??
Your interference is caused by the ground. This can be a problem in aviation radios.
Research Avionics... multiple ground loops.
Hope this helps. The problem with cars is there are grounds all over the place.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you for this information!!
@@EvanGoyuk your welcome Evan I enjoy your videos
Wow, that boot up time as put me right off this, after watching your installation I thought I’d give it a go, but wow that’s so long. Cheap knock offs must be worse?
How do you do to have wifi ? Do you use your phone cellular ?
Phones internet
Evan Goyuk and can you have android auto on it ?
Yes and CarPlay
Evan Goyuk Nice ! Thanks
I will go tommorow and buy a 316i e46 anything to watchout for?
Yes check out all the electronics, check the control arms and water pump if possible. Make sure all windows go up and down with out any weird noises. Lastly check for subframe damage. This is important
Ok thx ill tell u tommorow if i get it hope its clean and its first owner thats why i want to look at it.. Thx again.

@@joshriver75 You are right Josh. My new GA9250B’s screen glare is no better than my old Eonon unit. Thanks for replying . . .
Is there a better one for e46? Better than eonon?
Yes there is and when I get one. I will make a new video stay tuned.
@@EvanGoyukThanks mate^^
Dynavin
Yes the ga9150a is better
Evan Goyuk what head unit did you end up getting?
How did you get that digital speedometer on there?
I found it actually - Car Launcher I believe? Does that need a cellular signal to run?

How are you liking that A7iii? It looks like an epic camera yo
I absolutely love the a7iii, it’s amazing... still learning how to use everything
How you get the Bmw logo
It came with the radio
Evan Goyuk must be nice lol and one more thing how did you get that static off the radio bc only some of my stations work lol 😤
I disconnected the blue wire that comes off the antenna.
Evan Goyuk it worked thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
Anytime, a lot of people do not know this and the instructions say to connect it. But, I was just playing around one day trying to solve the static problem.
mine boots up right away...?
Is it an eonon unit?
Does it support the on board computer? Like can see the fuel consumption and range on this.
Not out of box but I have a solution for it to work and you can even code your car through it including pdc monitor. I will be coming out with a video about it so stay tuned.

Which 9 inch radio are you going to put in the car? 🤔
Just got me 330 ,,, time for a sound over,,, please help me get the right speakers, we, amps, and sub.,,,,2006, thanks a lot and as always,,, great videos and advises.
Bavsound for speakers, I am working on a subwoofer solution
Just buy an Alpine or Pioneer. Hell, even a BOSS will do
how do you update this radio?
