Great video! My only questions (for now haha) that I don't think show in the video are: 1. Did the steering wheel volume controls still work? 2. Does the OEM display up top show radio, when using the radio, and aux for other stuff (ie, Bluetooth, carplay, etc.)?

The steering wheel controls are working fine. And the two displays that are up top also seem unaffected

What’s the purpose of the GpS? Does it help boost the gps signal from your phone?

@DIYNorth

6 ай бұрын

No I dont think that it boosts anything from your cell phone. You can set the clock off gps time or manual time, and I used gps. Other than that, if you are using car play I'm not sure you need it. I would likely skip the microphone and gps and try running it without them and see if it works well for how you plan to use it.

Hey man, great video. Is the screen glass? Like will it scratch easily? Or should you get a screen protector on it?

Hey I've a 2012 Mazda 3 axela and I just received my eonon head unit the problem is my car's connector doesn't match the eonon one ,where can I get the stock connector to buy? Link me please.

I honestly have no idea. Maybe at mazda. What I would do is go to a local pick and pull scrap yard and just pull one out of a mazda there. It's honestly the cheapest and easiest way to get electrical connectors

Great video, I do a lot of work with Eonon and have several of their units....you keep saying Bluetooth is one of the big antennas, it's not, Bluetooth is one of the short blue wires in the rear camera rca, the other short wire is wifi antenna. The 2 bigger screw in antennas are for 4g if using a sim card for WiFi connection

Just ordered mine. Couple questions. Do I need to add the microphone and GPS? I also wanted to know what the usb's are for? Also, is there a way to put the USB cables where the cigarette lighter is? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

@DIYNorth

I dont think the microphone and gps are really manditory. The clock does run on gps time as an option so it might have more use. But if you dont talk through the car stereo anyway then I wouldnt use the microphone. I dont think that my wife has used the usb because she has apple car play, so if you are using an iphone you could probably skip the usb. I would need the usb to run android because my phone is a samsung s7 and it doesnt support wireless car play.

@@DIYNorth so i wouldnt need the gps for maps or anything like that? What would the alternative be for the clock option, and i have a samsung s24 ultra so i should be able to do it wireless, right? When i make a phone call in the car, its connected by bluetooth, but the front of the screen also has a mic, right? I apologize for all the questions😅

@DIYNorth

5 ай бұрын

@brayamsworld77 yeah the s24 should work wirelessly. There is a thing that says microphone on the stereo. I'm not sure how good it is, but it might be adequate. I think there is an option on the stereo clock to set it manually. Since it's so easy to install I would recommend just trying it out without all the extra stuff plugged in first and then if it isnt doing what you want just add the extra stuff after testing it. The map can run off of apple car play or off your android. So it should link to your phone without the gps.

Is the unit compatible with the original microphone? Also I would like to run an aftermarket rear camera.

When on android auto, both volume and skip song buttons work on the stering but via apple carplay, on spotify, I can’t skip songs but can play with the volume. Any tips to make it work ?

Nice upgrade but would be better if that small factory connector (at the 6min mark) fed more than just the left & right channels. Isn't the factory mic also in there? It would be nice to pick up a connection to the factory mic, rather than have to run another cable & mount a new mic

@DIYNorth

I'm not sure you need the additional mic. There is also a small hole on the stereo that says it's a microphone.

So first of all there is a "mute" setting which could be the issue and if you just tap the power button in the top left it will mute and unmute the sound. If that isn't the issue my next suggestion would be that the red and white RCA cables might be mixed up in the back. I haven't had to trouble shoot the stereo so I'm not sure.

I don’t know if some one have this problem: When the music is very loud, it stops automatically for a few seconds and it's annoying, like it doesn't have enough signal, does anyone have that problem or know how to solve it, I've heard it's the cables, I have no idea, I'm sick with this.
