I’ll be using this to fix the shoddy install the previous owner did for the Eonon in my car. Honestly, the car play is game changing. My girlfriend and I love it.
I like how you described getting that upper dash trim piece behind the radio, I couldn't get it to rotate down into place because of the two plastic pins sticking out from the radio surround. They have to go into a slot in the trim piece. I ended up cutting a chamfer on the bottom of the pins to let the trim piece rotate into place, just a few mm removed from the pins, then the trim piece was able to rotate into place with almost no resistance. It was key to leave the upper screws loose, once the trim was rotated I snuck a thin shaft small phillips screwdriver in and tightened the screws.
have the same u nit installed just a couple of days ago and it's amazing - if you replace a 16:9 factory display then you need an extra extension adapter cable that you have to navigate from the rear to the front of the car. I do recommend to add a rear camera and a DAB+ window aerial - game changer head unit !
Very nice, lots of good tips, super pro, many thanks. I appreciate the scrapes on the back of your hands, lets us know you are the real deal. (Or a technical rock climber)🙂
Nice Video. I don't think you mentioned the model of the Eonon. I was looking to get a 4GB Ram, but they have run out leaving with the options of 6GB Android 13 or 2GB Android 10. However 6GB is twice as much as 2GB. Is 2GB enough for apple car play? I only want radio/spotify and google maps. Thanks.

Yes its definitely the hardest part with the install. That was a good idea.
NICE UPDATE FOR E46! 🥰 Thanks for your sharing~

What that bolt called? For the rear differential mount you have for sale on your website the single bolt
I haven’t been able to get my trim piece to align around the screen. Any tips?? Thanks!
Is the quality sound same quality than original bmw cd player ?
I did mine today but the head unit mic is pretty bad. Will need to run an external one.
