Hello!
Tried to do a bit of googling, and the few ive found seem out of stock.
Does anybody have any recommendations for a head unit that would fit well in a BMW E93?
Bonus points for anybody that can show an after picture of how theirs turned out too!

Hi
I have a Eonon GA7163s head unit on my Mazda 3 MPS. Eveything works fab and AppleCar Play dongle etc.
2 things I was wondering:
Annoying beep when head unit is turned on, is there a way to turn this off without me opening the unit and removing the speaker inside?
Can this unit be customised with newer software/rom? Its got Android 6 installed and Eonon custom stuff. Im no Android user, so no idea about it.
Thanks
Hi! first of, I've tried to search but I couldn't find any answers to my problem.
I have a tesla style headunit for my Toyota land cruiser 120, this unit replace my ac controls. The problem is that it's really buggy, the ac controls work but only half the time, usually the ac buttons are non responsive despite the fan running, and my temp. Adjusting only shows "LOW" and 25.5c. Is it a way to fix this? The seller is not interested in helping me

Hey, welcome to XDA.
I am going to direct you to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units/tesla-style-headunits-t3512709
There is a lot of info on our units over there. I have the same unit from Phoenix radio in my 07 Lexus GX470. Mine has 1G RAM 32G Rom. It says it is Android 6.0, but that is not true, it's only 4.4.4 I am suffering the same issues as you.
The one thing I have found is that I need to set the Vehicle type as "OLD BADAO WITH DISK HI" I did not find that vehicle type in my firmware, so I am
searching for a solution too. Let me know if you find anything . Good luck, Rick
I’ve just inherited a car with an Android 8.1 head unit. All I can see is it’s an 8227l unit. Can someone tell me what unit it is and if I can update it at all and get some info about it? Or is it easier to pull it out and see if there are details on the back of the unit.
Not to worry. I changed some search details and found it on eBay. Anyone know if these things are updatable?

I installed the Joying JY-BO124N3 Android head unit which works great. The problem I'm having is the car is displaying metric units on start up. To fix this, I have to go into the head unit settings and change to imperial/American units which will then display the correct units on the dash/climate control. The headunit itself always displays the correct Imperial units (mph, F, etc). I contacted the manufacturer who said it wasn't possible to permanently change through the head unit. The Eunavi Android head unit in my Toyota doesn't have this problem so I'm assuming the problem is with the BMW. Is there anyway I can permanently program/code out metric units so only Imperial information is displayed on my dash?
I did a review on the head unit and show this problem at 3:23:

Anyone?
I can’t help other than to say I had the same issue with my BMW E90 and an Eonon unit so it seems like this might be an E90 thing with these aftermarket head units?

Ah, thanks for the reply. This is super helpful. I'm just relieved to hear that someone (unfortunately) had the same issue as me. If my Joying and your Eonon are doing the same thing, then I can pretty much narrow down that it's on BMW's end.
Has anyone had success in installing one of these Chinese head units in a Volvo xc60 2012? It uses an OD canbus but does not integrate the original systems in the car , and no sound. I’ve done everything that the seller has suggested but failed. I get the volume control and HVAC display but that’s it! I know it is hard to add these to Volvos but Does anybody know if I’m just wasting time and money? Any guidance appreciated. Many thanks.
