Eonon GMA 12S-U Head Unit Installation in a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500!

[@MrXcbravo]

This is great , looking to do the same install . How did you find the chime ? I herd it’s really loud and some ppl cover it up to muffle the noise

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

Personally I like it! I tend to listen to music really loud and sometimes leave my blinker on and there’s no missing it with this chime! 🤣🤣 The seat belt alert when you first start the truck up with a passenger is a little annoying. I haven’t muffled mine at all and it seems ok to me. It’s all preference I guess. Hope it helps!

[@inventoryking]

How has the unit been for you? Any glitches? Looking for something for my Silverado, not sure what do go with. Are these worth it being from China?

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

So it’s been pretty great so far for me. There’s been an occasional skip here and there I’m noticing when tractor-trailers are around for some reason. Only happens extremely rarely. It’s a cheap option and it’s been pretty awesome. Especially hooked up to CarPlay with my IPhone. Navigation through Waze has been amazing.

[@KrookedMob]

How did you connect the factory rear camera to show on the stereo? Mine on the rear view mirror?

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

@@KrookedMob I couldn’t tell you unfortunately. My truck didn’t come with a factory camera, so I had to install my own.

[@harrisnewbold4404]

Did you notice that your rear audio speakers don't work now? I spent months playing with the various audio cables on the harness to figure out a way to correct that. as far as I know, there is no solution at least for my case. I have a 2009 Chevy Silverado 1500 very similar to yours with no bose system.

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

I’ve had no issues with it so far! That sucks. I wonder what happened?

[@harrisnewbold4404]

I do not totally know. I'm wondering if I just haven't wired everything together correctly but it definitely is on my nerves because I like having surround sound. @@ThirdBeardfishing

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

@@harrisnewbold4404 I bet so! That’s no fun. Have you tried reaching out to the company? Maybe they can help.

[@antoniosanchez-ts5up]

​@@harrisnewbold4404 were you able to fix the no sound to the rear speakers? I'm having the same issue.

[@eddiegonzalez9924]

I don't have this unit but pretty familiar with android head units, if your gmt 900 doesn't have the Bose audio, disconnect the amp wires from the main head unit harness to the other one only the Bose audio models should have the amp wires connected to each other

[@700horses]

Hey why did you take out the 10” screen? Or is that a different truck??

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

Different truck. This truck didn’t have a screen originally. I installed this into it.

[@Nick_x_98]

Any issues with zlink? First installed and it worked. Put the dash and everything back into place and went to use it and now zlink service is unavailable

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

No, I haven’t had any issues. That’s strange.

[@Nick_x_98]

@@ThirdBeardfishing Factory reset the unit and went back through the setup and it worked no problem incase anybody else watches this and has the same issue. I think the chime is going to drive me insane tho lol, its not even how loud it is. its how loud combined with how cheap? it sounds. Makes me not want to use my turn signal haha

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

I would definitely cover it to at least muffle the sound some so it's not so loud. It might help! @@Nick_x_98

[@hackervirus56]

I've heard that steering wheel controls stop working after a while. How do I fix this when it happens?

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

Unfortunately I can’t help you with this as my Chevy Silverado has no steering wheel controls other than cruise control. I’m not sure

[@hackervirus56]

@@ThirdBeardfishing Cheers, thanks for responding 👍

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

My pleasure!

[@tetenyaseen_1]

Btw, u can add the factory steering wheel controls in ur Silverado. I did mines.

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

@@tetenyaseen_1 oh really? Hmmmmm….. this is something I need to look into. My biggest complaint with this head is the volume buttons are tiny and without those controls, it’s a pain.

[@xvvau-_-]

I have constant buzzing noise with music or not coming from my back rear speakers only , on my 2007 Chevy Silverado can anybody help me why ? Is it a grounding issue ?

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

Couldn’t help you with that one. Haven’t heard of that problem before. :/

[@michaelweber5372]

You need a distortion block I believe. My brother used to have the same problem with one of his vehicles

[@jar145022]

These radios don’t last. I gave them 2 tries both didn’t even last 1 year.

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

Ok cool

[@TempusErrante]

How is the audio of that eonon headunit ? I bought one similar to that and the audio was worst than monoaural , my factory radio sounded far better , so can you tell me how it sounds that one of that brand ?

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

@@TempusErrante I think it sounds great. I’ve had no issues at all even with my factory installed speakers in my truck.

[@TempusErrante]

@@ThirdBeardfishing well compared to your factory radio , is the eonon better , same or lower quality audio ? What's your perception about it ? Sorry for asking again but i would like you to be sincere answering this , like i told you , i bought one similar and the audio was the worst i have ever heard , i bought it from ebay and it was a complete waste of money ( i wasted 150 ) so those eonon radios are more expensive so i suppose the more expensive the better audio you get , i was thinking also in better brands like Sony , kenwood , pioneer but those brands don't have plug and play models and i don't have experience installing car radios, so just tell me how it sounds compared to your factory radio ? I know that your factory radio sounds really good cause i have the same model on an impala 2009 , so that radio you installed should be same or better

[@ThirdBeardfishing]

@@TempusErrante Eh, my factory radio was a mess so I can’t answer this 100% effectively. When the factory radio worked, the sound was crap. This is better. Much cleaner.

[@TempusErrante]

@@ThirdBeardfishing oh i see , my factory radio sounds really good , probably cause i replaced the factory speakers by pioneer speakers, i just want to replace the radio cause it looks boring and i need something better looking , probably i will try that Eonon, i just hope i don't get ripped off like in the other one i bought 😅😅😅 , thank you so much for your replies , my best wishes for you Good luck !!!!!🫡🫡🫡🫡
