Thanks for that, Luke. I've added the Eonon to my wishlist because of your video.

[@TorqueSteer]

That’s great. I hope you enjoy it

[@kennyg4744]

Well done Luke. Well put together.

Nice video Luke - detailed and very thorough test - I was considering a Podofo unit, but not now. One comment I have regarding the FM range. I had a Bluetooth / FM transmitter to connect my iphone. What I noticed when in busy towns is radio interference. This may have been that the channel 87.5Mhz was being used by a local radio station but I also cnsidered that if other people have these units in close proximity then it is possible their FM transmitters are causing the interference I experienced. This is was not a one off as it frequently occured when travelling through busy traffic areas. I actually removed the external aerial to help reduce the interference.

It would be great to see how the camper project is coming along

[@TorqueSteer]

Very soon :)). I’ve been doing some work on it the last couple of days

Well done mate, you really went deep into these, it helped with my choice it was the Carpuride, but that's a big no for me. Eon p4is the one. Pat yourself on the back for your hard work we need more like this 👍

[@TorqueSteer]

Thank you. I’m glad it helped you :))

Brilliant video! Are you open to suggestions for other screens? I have a 9" Spedal that I'd like to see how it stacks up against the rest. I agonised for weeks between this, the Carpodgo T3 and the Roadtop 8.9. Adding these three would be extremely interesting.

[@TorqueSteer]

I'll look into it, thanks for the suggestions :)

[@Payynnee299]

Also, a big deciding factor for me was whether the units had 'dual bluetooth' so that my phone's audio can still be linked to the vehicle for calls and music, so the unit is effectively a screen only. Looking forward to further updates 😊

[@sleepingwarrior4618]

I have wondered if these Seicane units are any good for the longest of times....

[@whatsdavedone104]

Why have you deleted my 3 previous comments, no were negative

[@TorqueSteer]

I didn’t mate. YT filters must have blocked them for some reason.
