I am extremely surprised that you don't have more subscribers and the small number of thumbs up given the number of views is truly disappointing. I am new to Android head units and I am learning more about them from you, so thank you for you dedication.
VERY nice, thank you! It would be great if you provide or test the pre-out voltage. That's very important to sound quality. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the video! Covered off all of the details that I was curious about. I've got one of these arriving for my GT86 today. Excited to get it all up and running. Cheers again!
How are you liking it
@@John-ot6ue it's been mostly great! It seems to have some issues with any apps that make use of Picture-in-Picture mode, but disabling that feature has it happy enough. Otherwise it's been perfect. Installed it myself and have it fully integrated into the existing antenna, wheel controls, USB port and reversing camera. Very happy with the result.
Is Netflix working?
@@Jharris2511 Haven't actually checked Netflix. Might give it a look this arvo & shall get back to you.
I have no clue how you don't guttered pulling down your dash to install all these units... Hats off to you sir
G'day, great review as usual. You are nearly always very positive about the head units you review (at least in the reviews i have watched) What head unit with around 10inch screen would you recommend for a 2016 Sorento? Cheers.
What a great video, well done!
Recently subscribed. Been in the market to move to a Android unit and was lost with the amount of options out there. Been binge watching your videos and must say, they are the BEST, hands down! I was narrowed down to either the Atoto, Xtronz or Joying, and found this video for the UA12S and decided to go with the 6gb version. Actual Android 12, adjustable screeen, 2.5V preouts (which the ithers for sub preout are way to low at 0.8v)... Thanks for all the videos and information! Very informative, and straight to the point!
Have you or anyone else actually measured the preouts? Are they ACTUALLY 2.5 volts without clipping?
Sensational review mate
Great video in fact i purchased one along with the front dash cam and rear camera. Question regarding the quick boot up though. It does quick boot if just going to acc mode but if you start the car it just reboots every time my old Android head unit didn't do this?
Great video. Helped me with my shortlist. When say it’s “basically plug and play”… Do you not need to wire it to the ignition fuse?
Great video.
Is it a plug and play on a 2006 Saab 9-5 or do you need any additional harness?
Looks good. I got the Android 10 Mazda unit last year, and it's been going well. I did consider the lift-out 10" but I was worried about glare and at the time, the 'older' model had more working accessories like the reverse/dash camera. Never got the dashcam to work (didn't know what app to use) , but everything else did.
So after watching tons of your videos and finally deciding to pull the trigger and get this exact unit I have one question of you or your community. I would like to retain the factory controls and not cut up my harness. I am between these two aftermarket adapters and I was hoping you might have some insight or guidance as to which might be best for me. The two are iDatalink Maestro RR Interface Module and the
PAC RP4-CH11 Wiring Interface. Any help would be great.
Guess knowing the vehicle would help. 2012 ram 1500 sport
Excellent videos. Really enjoying your channel and reviews! What are your thoughts on Android head units and the CarPlay disconnect problem (random disconnects that require you to manually reconnect, reboot the phone and/or head unit etc.)? Have you found wired to be more reliable than wireless? This unit seems to be wireless carplay only how does it compare to others in terms of the disconnect issue?
Great review, just got mine and no Canbus decoder was included with the unit 😡
How to install in a VW car?
Great video, so so let me ask you which head unit you think has the best sound in DSP unit? Thanks.
Any extra harnesses you needed to buy? Or anything separate for a back up camera if you already have a stock one
Bought this headunit based off this review, has been working great. I noticed when you connected to Android Auto / Apple CarPlay your sidebar was on the right hand side, mine is on the left. How do you change the position of the sidebar for RHD vehicles?
SO I have a little tip that may be helpful to some. I install a lot of CCTV and have a couple of cat5 baluans that will do CVI or AHD over cat5/6 cable. If you can terminate your own RJ45 ends it is so much easier to run a single cat5 in a hatch boot and also my extension was about 10' to short so the Cat 6 and a baluan on each end wa my test to fix that today. In my case I needed a RCA coupler to connect to the male ends on the balaun. Carries 12V power and vifeo over one Cat cable. Maybe $10 on amazon? Bought awhile ago.
I’m ordering one but I need to know if my 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan steering wheel is analog or digital. I can’t find that info anywhere. Great videos!
The Joying unit you suggested for 9-5 as it clears the cup holder a year ago isn't available any more what would be the best option to buy now ?
Looking at busting this. But the eBay one I'm looking at doesn't come with wiring loom. Have to get it from another supplier. But it appears yours came with it.
Great videos buy the way.
Another fantastic video well done. Will this unit run 360° camera view. And is there different quality 360° camera views . I would like to buy a head unit with HDMI out *RDS & preferably sold through Amazon can you help can the screen be removed for security so it’s not stolen.
@SaabUnleashed Which do you recommend between the new Eonon unit, new Xtrons unit, or Atoto Ultra??
Which brand or any specific head unit for JDM model Toyota Allion 2012? Please suggest
Hi, can you tell me the exact connects2 loom to fit this in a saab 9-5 2009 with factory sat nav fitted. As3 setup with 200w amp and sub. Theres 3 small plugs to the stereo. Getting a bit confused with the choice of two. Many thanks Ade
What would you recommend as best bang for buck for double din Vauxhall Corsa D VXR? Been researching & watching numerous videos it's all starting to become a blur 😮
Might use the torque app bit definitely android auto required.
Does it provide 360 camera functions, great review
We need a ranking video! With some comparisons :)
I did a top 5 video last year. This year's one will be coming out in the next month
Hi. Willl this unit be compatible with old Honda Accord 1997? Thank you very much!
Between the UA12S Plus and the ATOTO S8 19in, which one you know is best? and why?
Screen has some serious glare issues.
Can the "green led" buttons be dimmed or turned off?
Max Capacity HDD that can be USB connected?
Any Micro SD card reader for map files?
This Eonon series absolutely crushes the double din JVC KW models.
Hello, I have this unit and last week the touch screen stopped working, I checked the connections, reset to factory settings and no luck. Getting in touch with Eonon has been a pain, because of the time zone difference. Do You have any ideas of what can I do?
I would love to buy this unit for my 2010 BMW E82 1 series. Do you know if it will fit that car? I am planning on purchasing a double din conversion fascia. I am concerned about clearance inside the dash though. Do you know if that would ever be a problem? Or so long as it's double din, it should fit? cheers mate
Thanks for your sharing~
Any recommendations for dash camera apps? I have an eonon and use 2 forward usb cameras to act as dash cameras. Would love to know if there a better way or an app that would read form both cameras
I've been watching a lot of your videos, but I can't seem to find how you control the volume with these??? Is it only steering wheel controls, or can you somehow use the screen? Thanks for all these great reviews, it does make it hard trying to decide which one to buy :)
This one has buttons on the left side of the screen, you can see them lit up
I have the older model of this eonon head unit in my e92 bmw. Question is, being that it only has 2gb ram 32 storage would using the 6225 carlinkit ai tbox with 8gb ram 128 storage make it a better experience? It's painfully slow and unresponsive at times. I figured instead of installing a new head unit, just buy the tbox lol idk.. It'll be delivered tomorrow either way.
I believe this supports running two apps split screen, can you run android auto and another app split screen? Also will it work with generic bluetooth obd2 dongles or only Eonon's own dongle?
Thanks in advance!
Are any of the Android head units compatible with the DVD player in my 2011 Hyundai Genesis sedan with tech package? And do they play Netflix/UA-cam while driving??
What reverse cameras have you installed? I’ve just installed this unit and the picture quality on my cameras so far is terrible. The picture quality was perfect using the same cameras on my old unit. Do you know of any setting I could try and tweak? Cheers
How are the buttons, I have and old joying and those style buttons don't work well you have to double press etc.
What if I have a factory amp in my Hyundai Veloster? Do I need extra cables or interface?
Hi, can you confirm the hdmi out will she everything to the second screen, ie android auto, the torque app etc, as i have a virtual cluster with hdmi input, so waze full screen in the cluster would be seriously cool. thank you.
Just installed this in my van but looking for a little advice with wireing in the reversing camera as the booklet is a little sketchy. Do I use the cam in cable 🤷🏼♂️ it has +12v / GND / BRAKE / and 2 very short blue cables. Which do I couple to the reversing switch live in my van? I also have a trigger cable near the back camera that says reverse wire. 🥺🤷🏼♂️ just can't work it out.
I have this but I can't get the sound working. Any tips to help solve my problem?
Hello, this review was fantastic!!
How did you wire the back camera to show when not in reverse?
Give it a permanent 12v feed
I bougth this but my car does not have an ISO adapter. I have a 2005 Yukon Denali XL. Do you know where I can find a ISO harness adapter?
Does anyone know if parking sensors would work with this unit? Thinking of trying to fit in a VW T6 2016.
I have a suzuki Jimny 2022 unit with a classic radio. I am from europe. Portugal Wich auto best radio do you advice to me to buy?
I've heard that steering wheel controls stop working after a while. How do I fix this when it happens?
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! AND THANK YOU for this video review. I've been searching for a replacement audio system in my 2023 Toyota Tacoma that I can't stand. I want a somewhat floating screen and the ability to use Android apps built into the unit when my iPhone isn't connected for CarPlay. I kept going back and forth between Tesla style and the Boss. I ended up with Boss and hate it. Boss outputs great sound but has no apps installed and can only use either Android or CarPlay, depending on which phone is connected. I have two cameras hooked up, the factory backup, and added a front. This system you just reviewed seems to fit the bill.
So, am I correct in understanding that you can use any of the Android apps without an Android phone? And can I use my factory backup camera? Again, thank you.
You re right. It’s like an android phone. I just installed it into Corolla
My unit every few weeks the display will go black like the software didn’t load. Then i have to disconnect the battery since the reset button doesn’t work. Is there a fix for this? Thanks
How to access developer settings on this headunit? i tried everything i could think off without success😥
Too bad it won't run my other streaming apps like sling or Amazon. Is there a way to do that?
Great video, do you have any details on the connects 2 loom that you are using? I am trying to find out how to wire mine in at the moment but there isn't much detail
What car do you have
Does anyone know will this unit control all the car settings in a VW which the original head unit does (not just steering wheel controls) ?
I'm impressed! 😊 You get a lot of bang for the buck 😊. Time for me to get one. Is it total plug and play or does it require a interface harness?
Depends on the car
Does anyone know how many phones you can connect to an Android head unit like this? For instance can i have my work phone and personal phone connected at the same time? Also can you prioritize multiple phones? Like connect to my phone first and if my phone isn't near, connect to my wife's phone?
Bought this unit and installed in my Toyota Sienna 2016 XLE. Everything works great (OEM reverse camera (had to use a 12v to 6 volt step down converter), steering wheel controls, and OEM aux input (connected to the car's DVD player)). However, the HDMI port is faulty and will not output an image correctly on my car's second row DVD player. It flips between briefly showing the image on the head unit, flickering, then showing no input. The HDMI in on the DVD player works with other devices such as laptops and portable game consoles, so the DVD player isn't the issue. Contacted customer support and they said request a replacement. Installed the replacement unit and had the exact same issue. Support then suggested the HDMI port was not compatible. Why put an HDMI out on the unit if it doesn't work? Any ideas on how to get the HDMI to work correctly in US Central region?
Question to the host or anyone else who has this unit. I have the unit and having issues with backup camera. This is not my first eonon product had the R03 and that was sweet but upgraded to this unit. Most screen units have a trigger wire that requires some type of voltage to let the HU know switch to camera input. This unit has a trigger wire on the main harness and also has a seprate wire loom/connector for the "camera, 12v for camera, brake wire, ground" all in one plug...
So i installed the HU and connected the backup signal wire aka 12v to the trigger wire like i have done for every other HU in the past. But this HU doesnt switch to the camera..... i got 12v i can see it on my meter. Tried to put the signal wire on the "extra" 12v camera wire and nada! Does anyone know or have any idea where am i going wrong on this install? Thanks in advance
Wow great price, hdmi,and free cameras and obd2 right now on Amazon. What a deal!! Wish is was 8gb ram but for the price it's got to be top of class.
That deal in USA?
@@owenmindwise yeah on Amazon but bumped to 299. Was $269. But still with all 3 free.
How did you get the unit to recognize the HDMI screen? I have one connected and it is not doing anything
Great video.. Question, did you ever make a video on how to sideload for us Droid 10 folks? Would love to learn new things! Thank you!
I did indeed, it's the first part of this video ua-cam.com/video/X33y5OcuK54/v-deo.html
Thank you so much! @@SaabUnleashed
I wonder if this fit a Mustang 2017 ?
I got a UA12S Plus and it only lasted 4 months. It suffered the black screen of death after initial Reboot. I've tried erasing back to factory defaults and still same problem. Other people have experthe same problem
Do you know if I need a kit to add this radio to a dodge Ram 1500
Can you buy a separate steering wheel controller with buttons, if you do not have existing buttons on steering wheel, if so please can someone give me the link. Thanks in advance.
having issues finding a head unit (other than teyes unit that is sold with a facia adapter for the vauxhall zaferia tourer C i know its a buic excel 2 apperntly as well but i always seem to get results for older zaferia B onky units any help would be apreciated (teyes is cool but i wanted to see if there was other options
I don’t mind similar looking displays to fit a standard fascia, but why can’t they make some with buttons on the right to suit RHD vehicles?
We're the minority :(
Does this support 360 camera kit?
Hi, I just have a question, can I install this Head Unit to a 2016 Mitsubishi Nativa, Thank You in advance !!
Is there crossover audio controls on this unit like x over
Is this a plug and play for m y 2016 nissan altima?
Can these be put into 2009 CLC?
Okay “Big Steppa”
Does this work in a vw t5 transporter?
I have the Eonon VWA12S, upgraded from the Q53PRO.
Yes they are a fantastic unit.
Only downside for me, not Eonon issue, DAB+ doesn't work with android12😢 I have to use dab-z but I don't like the layout
Does steering wheel controls still work? And have you experienced your battery dying?
@eden20111 yes steering controls and factory reverse sensor work out the box....no battery drain in my 2015 Mk6 Cabriolet
Does it need internet access to download apps in google apps?
Hello! Thanks for the great reviews! I have a saab 9-3 2008 with the 7 speaker system. Thanks to your videos I’m planning on replacing the head unit. I will go with an Eonon 7” or the one you tested here. I also got a connect 2 kit but I noticed that the kit I got doesn’t have the amp bypass. Do I need it? When I click on your link from another video it takes me to a Mazda with. Bose audio. Do I need that one? Thanks!
Yes you will need that pass through adaptor or you will hear a hiss and the volume will be too loud even on the lowest setting
Thank you so much for replying to me! Keep the great work ! Thanks
Hi there do you have an example of what this pass through adaptor for a Mazda Bose system would be, a linked example would be great. Not looking at changing the original speakers or Bose amp
This review made my buy this init. Its pretty imoressive so far. Only issue im having is the trigger for the rear view camera (ive got an aftermarket unit for the van) i can get the feed to go to the unit and display the camera, but cant get it to trigger when i enter reverse. When i do get it to trigger when entering reverse, it doesn't display an image, instead it now displays the backup lines and has a warning symbol with no image. The unit wont let you press anything when this happens.
Have you got any pointers mate? Cheers
same problem here. if i go into reverse camera app it shows, but when i put into reverse it doesn't
with the cameras, is there a dvr (think thast the term?) function to record?
I'll check and get back to you
Hi, I was very impressed by this review and bought the player for my RV. During firmware update, the car shut down due to low power. That bricked my unit. Does anybody know how to reset the unit back to previous firmware?
You will have no firmware if it is bricked, it's a worst case scenario. Best thing to do is contact their support
So... I have inherited a 2004 Mustang 40th Anniversary convertible with hardly any original miles from am uncle. The bad part is it has the Mach 460 sound system, which tends to be a bit of a bitch. Do you have any idea of this is difficult to install as far as the Mach 460 system goes?
U need to make a video where you configure the head unit or where u explain the features
Almost every video i show you how to adjust audio, where to set up steering controls and what it is capable of...
I am looking for 2019 Mazda 6 head unit but can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help me please?
Does it support factory parking sensors? And give a visual display within the camera image?
Yes it does support factory reverse and front parking sensors
So will this continue to play video as you drive? If I use this for head rest unit in the back will it work while driving? Thanks
Yes to both
YES,a very good unit no perfect but for money paid for it worth every pence.Sound very good,fast and responsive even on multitask.Only complain i have about it its radio stereo symbol overlay on rds text a bit stupid ,radio sensitivity not same as the original radio have to use an antenna amplifier.If use on high volume for long time my get hot and i fit myself a fan in to space already designed for it but they don't fit one from factory and now its more cool.Overall my toyota its happy with it and me same.
How does this compare to Dasaita? For a 10-11” screen is 1920x1080p resolution worth it
This head unit is faster and has better audio
This unit looks really great the only thing it misses is a physical knob. So few of the great android unit this siZe have a knob 😢
I guess most people go with steering controls but doesnt help the passenger
Do you prefer these Android units over say Kenwood? Can these be Hooked up to an amp?
Yes I do much prefer them to big brands because they are capable of much more. Android head units can be hooked up to amps but they generally have a lower RCA voltage, so you'll have to increase the gain on your amp a bit to compensate. Some Android head units have evolved beyond RCAs and have digital Optical and Coax connectors for digital amps if you have one
One simple question, how quickly does it boot up direct to Android Auto or CarPlay? That's always one thing that's really frustrating with the cheaper units, that boot up speed. You could already be halfway down the street before they turn on with the bad ones. Looks like a great platform and well thought out unit
All comes down to the spec. The greater the hardware, the faster it runs.
@@rhysc9706 I ordered a 4GB/64GB 9” unit with Android 13 and an 8 core processor so fingers crossed it will run well. It's VW specific so I'm excited to have a direct integration instead of a generic head unit
@@KPGuitarStudios Sound really beefy that unit, should be faster than anything you've used before. Currently shopping around rn for something for my 2007 Saab, hope I can find something as good as yours
So looking into this unit, but it looks like the new one got an upgrade? The new one is Android 13 and 6gb of ram. Any thoughts?
I have this unit here to review once the new studio is built
Physical knob is a must! Who likes touch buttons!?!?!
Steering wheel controls, my friend. That's what I (and most) seem to prefer to use in 2023. Don't need to take my eyes off the road or my hands off the steering wheel.
Wow the seller in amazon raised the price by+ $30 to $300, shortly after this video was launched … 😅 Still a good deal but we’ll it was a better deal before today.
Is there a way to add XM radio to an aftermarket android head unit, not an app running thru phone
They're isn't. You'd have to install an app and steam via data
12 months ago Eonon were dumping all thier older head units on Amazon for $199, 10.1" units with Car Play etc
Now our only choice is this big dollar unit
Hopefully its worth the cost
IE: Better Fringe FM reception / Better Sound / Better App Compatability.... Such a shame they have all lost the Volume Knob
Doe this unit work with a 360 camera kit and record footage?
Unfortunately not
