Hey G-Man! I really enjoy your vids -- especially the Eonon and Avant installs. Unfortunately they are way out of my price league. I've been scouring the OfferUp, LetGo, etc, sites ever since I saw the Eonon install looking for a good deal; to no avail. I have a 2002 325i I am trying to modernize on a budget. Would you be interested in SELLING your old Eonon? In any case thanx for the great and informative vids. Plz keep 'em coming!

The Eonon's GA9150B specs is about the same as that one (except it has a CD/DVD player), it also has no startup logo and boots up in a second (android 8, Oreo). The only problem I had was fitting the radio in, maybe the radio is too big, or it might be since my E46's model is the previous version of yours, and had to route the harness from the trunk (where the old nav system was) to the front, so the front space seems to be way less than your E46's version because of the plastic air tubes placement (? not sure what that plastic structure is tbh) on the back of that tight fitting, dunno... Is there any way to make more space for the radio?

@DerKopfsammler6665 жыл бұрын
@@logand8811I don't remember about the connections (the site didn't had much instructions about it so I had to figure out by myself) but I routed it starting from the rear seat, through the right side (some usualy go for the left side under the driver's wheel cover, but I found that removing the glove box would be easier for that job), removing the left side cushion is easy, you just need to pull it hard, pass the cable BEHIND the seat belt, and if you want you can also pass it under the seat itself (you can also pull it hard to release it a bit), then pass it under the rear inner skirt side cover (also by pulling but those have 4 pins that you need to align with the holes to plug the skirt back in afterwards), then just tuck the cable under the B pillar cover (you don't need to remove it, just tuck it in, and remember, always BEHIND the seat belt, not on top of it), then under the front inner skirt side cover (same as the rear one), up to the glove box (you'll need to unscrew it and remove it first) and tuck it behind it under the fusebox wires, and finaly you can pass the harness into the central console gaps from behind the glove box, where your radio will fit.
