Hi there. Do the phone call accept and cancel buttons on the steering wheel work after installation? I have a 2012 Mazda 3.

@D_Spear 21 күн бұрын

Good question and I’m not sure since my mazda3 is a very base model and it doesn’t have those features. Hopefully someone else can chime in and explain. Thanks for watching.

@Carlajoe1 21 күн бұрын

@@D_Spear I contacted EONON and they confirmed that it does not work. A bad design oversight I think because otherwise it seems like a very good unit. Their response was "The original steering wheel control's phone and voice buttons are directly connected to the original car's head unit. Therefore, once the original head unit is removed, these buttons will no longer function. Our unit does not support the use of the steering wheel control's phone and voice buttons." I've also seen comments about poor phone performance re mic and call quality. Is that your experience too?

Hi, just a simple question, I see there are two versions, the 8 core and a 4 core system. So which one did you purchase and do you need that much extra RAM and cores?

@D_Spear Ай бұрын

Mine is the 4 core with the 2gb ram, which honestly seems low but Eonon has really made the software much more simple with this unit so it doesn’t feel as laggy as the previous generations. If you could spring the extra money, it might be worth paying extra for the upgraded model but this one has been just fine for my needs, the value for it is still great.

@TheLostWrenchGarage Ай бұрын

The new upgraded Heat Storm units come with an external thermostat that wifi connects to the unit. I just purchased the newer unit and will be installing it into my garage soon so video coming soon!

@D_Spear Ай бұрын

Yes I’ve seen that model, it looks like they found a way to integrate it with this exact unit really, I could probably find a way to do it to mine if I wanted. I’m glad they were able to make that change though, much needed. Let me know if you have any questions about the install.

@zetto156 2 ай бұрын

Open question for anyone who may see it... I have a 2010 Mazda3 and my install of the latest Eonon deck was pretty painless, the only issue I'm having is the steering wheel controls. Volume and Track up/down work fine, but the "answer call", "end call", and "voice input" buttons don't function. I would expect the voice input button to call up the "ok google" when inside Android Auto, but it does nothing. Same with answer and end call - they don't do anything. I'm wondering if there's some sort of canbus settings adjustment that needs to be done or something, but I haven't had any luck with what I've tried.

How do you make these units not as bright. At night its crazy bright. I have everything turned down as far as i can. I know the older models had the hidden menu to change that stuff but i cant find it. I found the 1234 under factory settings menu but nothing to change for brightness. Thanks

@D_Spear 2 ай бұрын

Yeah I agree it can be bright at night, I think the only way is to turn down the brightness overall but there might be a way to just lower it for night only. Anyway overall screen brightness you swipe down from the top of the screen, it’s a pull down menu, and the brightness bar is at the top of the pull down menu.

Thank you for the video. I do have a question about the sound quality via speakers. I am looking for a less expensive option to Alpine, Kenwood etc, mainly for the great soundsit gives music. Any feedback on that?

@D_Spear 3 ай бұрын

To be honest I don’t think this unit is going to make the sound quality any better, it’s comparable to stock, but I don’t think any aftermarket unit really will improve sound quality without changing out the stock speakers as well. I did a subwoofer in my spare tire well to improve bass levels, that helped a lot. I will say this unit does have an equalizer that you can mess around with.

About the time, think it’s same as mine radio, mine another china brand but it did same with time it change and. The issue is it using the GPS to set time. So lole urs it sjpw time is like 1:00 but real time is 12:00 It then will ajust time itself when drive for little time so GPS gets in and finde the right time. So maybe urs will ajust itself too when u have drive little? But it will again change time when u have off it and next day start it again mayve not the day after but next depends. Mine change sometimes the day after or 2-3 dats after it was in wrong time again. But little drive it was vack on time. But it’s because it use gps to ajust time Not know if u can change that under clock to not use gps 🤗

@D_Spear 3 ай бұрын

Apple CarPlay and android auto both use WiFi and Bluetooth to wirelessly connect, I would try removing the Eonons WiFi address from your phone and also Bluetooth as your phone connects to the radios WiFi hotspot to use android auto. Then you would have to use wired android auto. I don’t think you will be able to use wireless android auto and also tether.

Thanks for the review. I've seen this short cycling issue mentioned in other reviews. I was thinking of paying a premium ($330) for the newer model that's able to connect to a wireless thermostat that comes with it. Has moving the thermostat to the outside worked out well? I'm in a similar space to yours, it's 12x20 with 8' ceiling shed. I have limited electrical knowledge, but I had a professional install 240v outlets for me. Was planning on just connecting a 3 prong appliance cord myself and using the outlet.

@D_Spear 4 ай бұрын

Didn’t realize they had a newer model for this unit, that’s pretty cool. I do think moving the Tstat like the way I did helped, and since the Tstat I wiring is a very simple two wire design, I could actually cut the wire and extend the Tstat to anywhere on the room, the splice if done correctly won’t affect it. You can also put the unit in a lower fan and heat setting once you reach temp so it doesn’t short cycle as much. You should be just fine using a dryer cord, I’m glad you paid a pro to do all of the electrical parts.

I did not install the external mic, I honestly don’t like the look of it and wished there was a way to make it look more OEM. There probably is an aftermarket mic that can be used for this purpose but I haven’t tried it yet. As for the gps antenna, yes it’s installed but I really don’t use the gps or need it as I use apple CarPlay. The reverse camera does turn on even if the camera isn’t installed, there might be a way to turn this off if it’s not installed. Might have to look into that myself, thanks for watching!

You will see a list of two items, #2 says “personal habits” click on the tab that says “learn” next to it. There you will find a set of functions and you press them on the screen and then the button you want it to act as.

Also make sure your Bluetooth is connected to the Eonon unit, I wanna say it’s just called Eonon. Hope that helps. It should have done this automatically
