Eonon G2150F Double Din 6.2" Android 5.1 Car Stereo

I just purchased an Eonon G2150F Double Din 6.2" Android 5.1 Car Stereo and so far it is working well.
One thing that I have noticed that is different from the earlier models I have owned from various vendors is that using the rear USB ports it can run an external hard drive. I currently am using a 1 TB drive and it is working perfectly without having to use a 12 volt USB hub to supply the power for it. The advertisement on the Eonon ebay page for it clearly says it will not work, but it does, and very well.
The GUI is not the flashiest I have seen, but it runs fast and gives no issues as yet.
Another nice feature is that I no longer have to wait 30 seconds to do anything with the head unit like I did with my 4.4.4 android quad core that proceeded this one.
It utilizes that instant on feature where the unit does not shut down, but instead goes into a low power consumption state.
Torque works well, but only blue tooth obd2 adapters that don't use a pin are accepted or USB ones. Mine has a button on it that when pressed allows the head unit to find it and pair with it the first time.
it does not come preloaded with tons of useless apps like so many other android devices do. The apps are all useful and easy to find.
I have not as yet been able to root it, so if anyone knows of a way to root it, please let me know.
Here are the specs for it.

To the OP thank you for review.
I have been looking at one of these.
I am new to the Anroid head unit scene, but am quite interested.
Several Madza and BMW owner forums speak highly of their model specific versions.
If you find any more info, I hope you will post and share it!

BiliTheAxe were you able to get USB Hubs to work? I am currently unable to on my 5.1 unit.

Just bought one of these units off of eBay.
Search "US-Camera-Android-5-1-6-2-Double-Din-Car-DVD-Player-GPS-CD-Stereo-Bluetooth-E" on eBay. (As a new member, I can't post embedded links yet.)
Item works great, and shipped directly from EONON's New Jersey warehouse (Not Hong Kong!) Free shipping - I received the unit in 3 days.
I also received a bonus back up camera with the purchase.
Nice unit, if you are looking for an upgrade head unit. :good::good:
Working perfectly, with no issues!!

Suggestions on which HeadUnit

GrowlAudio have a model specific version for my car (growlaudio.com/nissan-navara) but finding real specs on it seems to be next to impossible.
All the suppliers have been able to tell me:
The units are not upgradable as in OS updates. OS 4.4 is the most stable of the OS available. Yes you can see other units with OS 5 and 6 available from china at a cheaper price but there is a known fault with them that they are unstable and crash a lot.
Price includes Growl unit with built in fascia, all cables and adapters needed for install, GPS antenna and free reverse camera.
Android Head Unit:
OS: Android 4.4
CPU: Quad Core Processor
RAM: DDR3 1Gb
ROM: 8G EMMC
SD: Built - In 16GB
Capable of reading 1TB external Drive
Mobile Connectivity : iOS and Android Devices
VIDEO: RMVB,MKV,MOV,WMV,AVI,MPG
AUDIO: MP3,WMA,WAV,OGG,FLAC
GPS MODULE: Support
GPS Navigation software: Sygic, Waze and other android compatible maps. Capable on connecting to WiFi via Mobile Hotspot or wifi connectivity
Bluetooth Audio and Handsfree Calls: Supported
Steering Wheel controls: Supported
Rear view video: Automatic Backup Camera turn on when reversing
Other users that have purchased and installed the unit seem to think it's the best thing ever, but every video I can find of it is slow to startup (30-40 sec), reverse camera not coming on till full boot. And no one I talk to is able to provide any details on audio quality.
What I am looking for in a HeadUnit:
Required:
* Reverse camera capable of being used within a few seconds of ignition
* Bluetooth hands free with iPhone compatibility
* Music streaming from either iPhone or USB / Flash storage
* Google Maps / GPS compatible
* 3G/4G sim/USB Dongle compatible
* Steering Wheel Control support (CANBUS)
* Audio quality at least equal to or better than stock
* Responsive screen / controls
Optional / Extras
* Multiple camera support
* Side-by-side picture
* Able to connect to iPhone Bluetooth, Internet, OBD Reader/Torque, TPMS at the same time, or at least without having to go into settings and change connected device
Does anyone have any suggestions of a suitable HU?

I've been digging for info on these, reading Amazon reviews, reading threads here, reading marketing on the mfr/reseller websites and was contemplating starting a thread for this. In lieu of starting another thread I figure to just contribute on yours. It all started not long ago when I finally installed a 2-year-sitting-in-closet Pioneer Appradio 3... what a piece of junk!!! (but it does sound good)
Is anyone comparing the pros/cons of these things? It's pretty difficult to compile information on them when there are a ton of brands nobody has heard of combined with new hardware/software coming out all the time. From what I've read there are a few major dealbreakers that make me want to wait, after all who wants to swap their head unit out on any regular basis?
I head not heard about sticking to 4.4, why are 5.1 and 6.0 not good? I read somewhere they aren't as snappy but in any video I've seen they look fine.
I'll put my lists here and maybe others can chime in with what they want/like/dislike so we can paint a bigger picture for these head units.
Here are all the things that make me hesitant to buy one of these right now:
Dealbreakers for me:
No hands-free voice control for things like Android Auto, Google Now, Google Maps, Calling... "OK Google"
Boot times any more than 5 seconds.
Lack of external microphone - I know I can add one but geez is it too much to ask for a jack?
(some may have) independent volume for media/nav/phone/etc
Cons:
No ability to USB tether to use phone's internet connection (someone's probably done this here)
Seemingly weak future update support
Problems that can be handled with apps and mods:
No light sensor for auto dimming
speed dependent master volume change​
Here's what I would put on a wishlist:
Must haves:
fast boot time (<5-10 seconds)
voice control
external microphone (or jack so can add)
option resume playing last thing on startup (car start)
Independant volume for Media/nav/phone/etc
Good audio quality
Like to have:
permanent button for Nav app
headlight or auto dimming
speed dependent volume
DVR support for dashcam AND reverse camera input
USB tethering option for data connection
ability to work with aftermarket bluetooth steering wheel remote
full Android Auto support with voice commands
ability to update in the future
Bluetooth 5 with internet connection sharing would be nice (IPSP)​
The Newsmy Carpad 4 has some things I love: 4G SIM card capable, 2 camera DVR with ability to act as a car security system and send alerts to your phone, but it costs way too much and will surely come down like every tech does in the near future.

Joying has nice stuff and I've seen reviews that describe their low-power "dormant" mode that keeps the unit ready for a zero-delay startup even after the car is parked for a day (some units seem to only have a short dormant period before they shut down)... dormant time would of course be all dependent on how much power they draw whilst dormant.
ATOTO claim they can handle voice commands: http://www.myatoto.com/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=15&id=5
This is just the tip of the iceberg, I know. I can never seem to find one that does everything I/we all want, and that means time to wait. Anyone compiled up-to-date info so we can make an informed decision?

From what I've been able to read, you will not get this in any pure Android head unit. Its simply not possible. Do you know Android phone/tablet that is capable of powering on in less than 5 sec?
Sure they can all 'wake' in that time frame, but that's because they are running from a battery. Yes the car has a battery, but the constant drain from the head unit being in sleep mode will likely flatten the battery if the car is not started in 3-5 days.
Your demands list is something more inline with an Alpine/Kenwood/Non-PureAndroid head unit.

The fairly new Joying Intel Sofia Head Units do go into a deep sleep and only draw about 10 mAh once the vehicle has been shut off for five minutes or so. To clarify, my JY-UL134N2 unit only takes a second or two to start up after being off for days, and it begins playing music from the Sandisk 200GB micro sdxc card in a few seconds. It will also display the reverse camera instantly like the older rk3066 and rk3188 units. Please note that this HU is in a spare vehicle that only gets used every few days or on weekends, and the battery drain has not been an issue at all. Please also note that if the system is shut down completely (not in dormancy mode), the boot time is 15 seconds to a minute depending on how loaded up the system is with apps etc...
Anyway, regardless of the start up time, I doubt you will find any Chinese Android Head Units that will check all or even most of the boxes on your wish list out of the box. To date, they all appear to need software and or hardware mods in order to work half way decent and even then they are far from perfect. For sound quality, Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer, or Sony would be far better out of box. The bottom line is that for the cost, the Chinese Android Head Units can be fun to tinker with and decent with work, but you get what you pay for when it comes to sound quality (IMHO).
Best of luck,
R

This is what I'm looking for! How do you find the HU? Would you recommend it to aynone?

Google for Joying, they have a fairly decent website. I definitely noticed that feature mentioned and demonstrated in some YouTube videos of newer Joying units and seems like a winner... Boot time is my biggest gripe (without having ever owned one of these). I'm not sure of the downsides for Joying units although I think they don't have external mic jack, will look into that and report back.
I should have been more specific, a usable dormant fast-boot mode that can do 24 hours before shutdown/draining top much battery would be totally usable... That way the daily driver fires up the head unit right away.
So what head unit do you guys think checks off the most boxes for you?

Bway 9" Android 6 Radio with questions

Hi,
I have this unit installed , i bought it because in my car there a not many options with a bigger 9" screen. all the other options will give that 7 inch layout and buttons.
I got steering wheel buttons, so dont need any on the display
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Bwa...007-2008-android-6-0-car-dvd/32832502259.html
Bway 9 Inch Headunit
Model Name: BW-90910
OS Android 6.0.1
CPU:Intel ATOM X86 Quad-core 1.2 GHZ Sofia 3GR
RAM 1GB DDR3
?ROM 16 GB
Resolution 1024*600.Capacitive Touch Screen
Built in Sygic map
Solution Sofia
Sound processor TDA7388
Build Number : Sofia3gr_car_64-userdebug 6.0.1 MMB29M Eng_build_20170815_121351 release keys
car : Ford s-max 2008
I have 3 issues with it
1 : The audio randomly mutes while driving, sometimes it doenst happen at all. sometimes 3 times a hour.
The sound goes into mute mode, you see the sound icon crossed out. Then i press + on my steering wheel and it goes back to the previous audio level.
2. Its kind of laggy when i use TomTom Go and Spotify, can i upgrade the memory? Gba soldering solutions is doable by me, just need to know if its still worth doing.
3. Audio quality is poor. i am missing the rich volume. i read about the amp replacement. but that will not work for me, i have a amp build in the car.
4. cant connect any other bluetooth devices
i replaced the stock speakers from the car already with new ones. but it barely became better.
Questions :
1. can i upgrade the memory?
2. There are no updates from Bway, Can i flash android 7 and remove all the crap from this build, and get better equalise support and bluetooth? and maybe fix the muting issue.
3. i am also looking into this newly listed model
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32853040455.html
This has 32gb and 2GB and a octacore and higher clock.
would i benefit from this model?
thanks!

FunRover Android 8.1 Intel Airmont

Hello,
I installed the FunRover Android 8.1 Intel Airmont eight-core 1.8GHz SC9853i (4GB RAM, 64GB flash) on my Skoda Octavia 2 FL RS (2010).
I would like to provide an intial feedback to all who might consider this headunit and ask some questions regarding setup of some Android headunit features.
Links to setup:
Headunit: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...ml?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.2.20b456d00mOBJe
DVR Camera: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/HD-...ml?spm=2114.12010108.1000023.7.35b11b8d1Fd2HV
1) Installation:
Pro:
- plug and play - no extra adapters needed
- direct integration with can for vehicle information like: door open, car sensors, steering wheel controls, AC info
- good fit
Cons:
- held in place only by the frame's plastic pins
- it provides a single USB, the second one has an AUX cable plug that is fit if you have the original oem usb cable, so make sure you have it or buy the proper aux to USB cable if you need two USB ports
2) Look and Feel:
Pro:
- good design
- pleasant touch feel
- somewhat responsive
Cons:
- the screen seems to be of less than high end quality: left side touchscreen buttons section seems slightly detached from the frame (1-2 mm) and moves when pressed
- the screen is not IPS... the seller added a note on the site that you need to ask specifically for IPS screen....
- glass protector and screen reflect strongly in daylight so it is not ideal
- the silver frame has a gold tint so it does not match the silver dashboard tint from the car perfectly
- touch buttons do not respond always - you find yourself having to push twice for a response
3) Hardware & related features:
Pro:
- specs seem enough for anything you may need
- built-in 4G modem
- good GPS signal
Cons:
- intel / platfrom heats like crazy - average CPU temp is 80C - screen gets hot because of this
- only one 4G antenna - but stil OK signal
- extremely poor WiFi signal (phone has full wifi from router and the headunit has maybe half or even losing signal)
- 4G modem has poor speed, maybe you get 300KB download speed over 4G
- hardware has poor screening for interference: radio has a "buzz"; even with all audio stopped you get a hum in the speakers
- sound is poor compared to a high / mid radio: I had the Skoda Bolero unit and the sound is twice as good; after some EQ tweaks I was able to get a decent sound quality, but you will need an external amp if you want mid/high sound quality
- screen is reflective; maybe if you ask for the IPS version it will be better
- bluetooth seems to disconnect when on a bumpy road... so I'm putting this on HW; must test more
4) Software:
Pro:
- stable up to now
- quick cold boot (compared to an Ownice500 I had)
- sleep option makes almost instant boot, but I am worried of battery drain so I turned it off as you can't configure a max sleep time before complete shutdown (as you can on other headunits)
- reverse supports steering direction via can (the lines move when turning the steering wheel); also standard OEM parking sensors are supported
- support for vehicle info
- you can update the DVR app to gain some virtual adas features
Cons:
- the worst UI I saw, heavily restricted regarding customization - however I noticed the same is on Joying Intel units
- limited OS options compared to other Android Headunits, but sufficient for non Android geeks
- Radio app does not scale when used in split screen
- widgets from newly installed apps only show up after restart
- no manuals or detailed OS / SW options explained. You have an operational instructions app, but the descriptions are basic.
- reverse cam is not instant - has a 5s delay for app up
- the screen brightness can be controlled from the headlights setting or "time" - but the time can't be configured and is not synchronized with the sunset information from google maps for example
- minimum screen brightness can be too high for some people
- volume control is not separate for notifications etc. it's just one volume slider; you can configure some sound ratios between media, navigation , bluetooth, but that's it.... compared to ownice where you could configure nav / bluetooth / etc volume on the fly
- does not integrate with the car bluetooth module for audio output... but I guess it's too much to ask
- major issue with sound volume: seems related to using the steering wheel volume up/down - results in volume going to max or min randomly and using any button (screen, physical or steering wheel) only slows it down, but it's like it keeps getting the command to do volume up or down in paralel to any additional input you may do. You gain control after 10-30s if you keep pushing the mute / volume up/down on the steering wheel, however it is DANGEROUS (especially when it goes to MAX volume) because it can blow your speakers or scare the hell out of you / maybe cause an accident when it happens during driving.
5) External accessories:
5.1) FunRover DVR cam:
Pro:
- good viewing angle (170)
- plug and play
- DVR app works out of the box; starts automatically on boot and records 2 min time loop while overwriting oldest files
Cons:
- extremely limited DVR app - basically NO options to configure
- no file management; can't access the MicroSD card files of the camera from the headunit file manager; only works in the DVR app but I can't find a way to move / share these over to a separate location - e.g. google drive
5.2) External MIC:
- non existent - even though the seller said they will send it as gift it was not in the package
5.3) Reverse camera:
- I did not install it yet; I will get another HD cam and make a comparison with the packaged one
Questions:
A) What UI/Launcher do you recommend for such platforms? Will it show the built in apps (e.g. radio) or will they have to be reinstalled?
B) How can I manage or move files from DVR to another location - e.g. on headunit storage? DVR has... Novatek chipset. Do you recommend another DVR app?
C) What widgets / apps do you recommend to use for displaying the CANBUS information? I will try realDash to see if it can take the canbus source...., however I was hoping to have something like a widget on the homescreen and not an app
D) Did anyone encounter the sound volume uncontrollable volume issue? I already disabled the "bluetooth absolute volume" with no change in behavior. Also none of the sound settings made a difference. It seems like somehow the signal from the steering wheel button is processed in a loop. From my current experience it seems to be a canbus decoder or HU software issue.
E) Did anyone manage to integrate such a headunit with the skoda bluetooth module for audio output?
You can ask me other questions about this headunit and I will answer / test.
Have fun!

Hi, I just bought the same radio, but for Mitsubishi ASX. My first impression is almost the same like yours. My main problem is external microphone - when I use bluetooth for call, only internal mic is working.. :/ (matter of adjustment??). also RDS on radio is almost invisible..

I am looking for this device, now its android 9.0, but not sure if still TFT and not IPS screen. @axicos do you know if they improved this unit?

My new funrover arrived. Looks beautiful, ips screen, android 9.0, 2 USB (with CarPlay) but I have some issue's:
- parking sensors activate screen info when switched on by button or reverse, but don't shows the distance
- a/c temp is 2°C below the select one on the controller
- car settings menu : I can't activate any option
My car it's sa 2013 Passat variant.

Sadocom KDL 10.1 inch - review +problems

Dear all,
I am new to the forum and also this is my first android unit bought so please bear with me. It replaced the old RNS510 with Bluetooth Premium from my VW Passat CC 2011
The unit is a Sadocom KDL 10.1 inch android 9. Specs bellow:
- PX6 processor
- 4 Gb of RAM
- 64 Gb internal memory
- DSP
The unit comes with all necessary connectors and adapters except for the ones that connect the original GPS antenna or MIC. Soon i will receive the adapter for the GPS antenna so that i can use the one from the car and not the chinese one. Hope it works as expected.
The connection of the original microphone of the car was modified into a 3.5 mm jack so as not to dismount the A pillars to mount the new chinese MIC.
After all the connections were made, the unit booted up when inserting the key but a small amount of SMOKE appeared from the headunit. This soon stoped and the unit dind dnot ecperience any problems. Please tell me if anyone had any problems of this sort.
I then proceeded testing the unit.
Pros :
- the unit boots in ~10 seconds (cold start)
- standby boot is instant
- no lag when using the unit. Eveything works blazing fast
- good display with natural colors
- better quality sound than the RNS 510 and higher volumes
- generaly good build quality
Cons :
- internal / externar microphone performance is bad. Echoing can be heard by the receiving end
- wireless antena is just a wire
- all conections are modular and do not seem high quality
- only one pre-out for subwoofer
- canbus decoder shows an ambient temperature of 6500 degrees Celsius. Sometimes at startup, the temp shown is the correct one but it does not change according to the change in temp seen on the cluster
- switching to reverse shows no camera attached (no problem here since i don't have one at the moment) but the adaptive guidelines sometimes freeze/ do not move according to the steering wheel inputs. Another canbus decoder issue perhaps?
I will return with pictures and exact model when i have the chance.
Can anybody give advice with the two issues mentioned above?
- smoke - can it be something normal from the production process?
- temperature error - is it a canbus decoder error or can it be something else? Changing the canbus decodor would solve this problem?
I have not yet confirmed receiving the order and some feedback from you would determine me to ask for the seller to send another canbus or highlight the smoke problem.
Thank you in advance!
Leo

Hi there
By now, are you happy with this Sadocom device?
