Eonon D5101: Double Din Sat Nav

[jaz]

Hmmm heavily frustrated now. When I connect it the way you have described above the system works but it does not turn off or on when I do the same with the car??? it also does not allow me to open or close the car with the FOB its only when I disconnect the AUX cable am I able to use the FOB.

Anyways put the stock radio back in and still have lost the feature of the radio turning off and the doors unlocking when you take the key out.

I'll email EONON again but I suspect I'll have no luck once again.

make sure the power to the unit is hooked up directly to the AUX power in this picture and not going through the canbus decoder box.



This way it will turn on and off with the keys, if its hooked up through the decoder, it will stay on with the car and switch off every 15 mins due to the power saving relay.

Thinking of changing over the D5101 in the missus polo soon, the lag on the ui (particularly gps) is getting a little annoying, so thinking about replacing it with the android based Parrot Asteroid Smart (Can pick them up for roughly $550 on ebay)

Parrot - Support parrot-asteroid-smart

To install would it be pretty much the same deal as the Eonon? ie. plug in through the canbus plug, then route the Aux power directly as your pic? If it's just one wire to splice I'm thinking of doing it myself rather than taking it to an installer, anything more complex than that and I'll end up routing the horn to the window switch or something

Have read on other Forums that these Eonon units could best described as far from perfect.

As stated in the last post on the previous page where the poster had swapped out his Eonon for a Kenwood unit..

Lesson learn't, don't buy cheap Chinese crap if your after sound quality.

Yep if you want a decent unit, buy a brand name unit, these Chinese knockoffs all have terrible sound quality, think about what you are doing with the unit 99% of the time 90% of the features are useless when driving.

Changing the unit was probably the best decision Ive made for my setup, don't even miss the GPS as I use an external one when needed, or my phone.. Can also note the kenwood above supports android phones with UPNP storage (like a usb key)
