EononCarDVD

I recently purchased my first care, a Dec 2012 Toyota Corolla Ascent ZRE182. I'm wondering what sort of head-units people are installing in these models. Is it worth getting the genuine Toyota one (quite pricey), or will a Eonon like this one: http://www.eonon.com/Car-GPS/Specific-Car-GPS/Toyota/GM5169.html, or some other Android unit be just as good? I'd love to have a reverse camera installed with it eventually too, but at this stage I'd like to have some opinions on what works well in these models. Since I just bought the car out-right, something affordable would be great!

Hi RollaChick, thanks for your great interest. Since your car is Toyota Corolla 2012, and if your car does not has JBL system, we will recommend you to choose GM5169 Car DVD: http://www.eonon.com/Car-GPS/Specific-Car-GPS/Toyota/GM5169.html

And we don't have Android for toyota corolla at present.

Great news to tell you that if you were born in Jun, then you can enjoy extra 5% discount, please know more details here:

Btw, you can choose our A0119 camera to buy, it is on Summer Sale too, only 45AUD:

If you have any question about it, please feel free to ask, thanks.

A few pics

Radio The station button names automatically update once you set the station

App store via wifi

GPS (Syric)

Installation Looks like a lot of work but was easy to do

Hi Brand, thanks again for your sharing! It’s a work of art! Your awesome pics is one of the best I’ve even seen! So detailed and useful! Many thanks for sharing with us!

I've purchased the GA5164 and a0110 reverse camera from Enonon Ebay site. received it last week and installed over the weekend. Very impressed with the unit. Slow cold boot but otherwise fast in all screens. i'll do a full review bit later. Installed the camera was probably the hardest part

Hi Brand

We haven't heard from you yet, still working on that review?

I just want to know how the unit holds up after a few months, I know you've only had it for a 2 weeks.

How has it been?

Cheers

The Enonon unit has been great. Not sure when i'll get a chance take pics and if i do they wont be as nice as like Full-Throttle's. but ask any questions and i'll answer

Packaging and shipping.

delivered within 5 days of placing order (including weekend) Delivery was via Toll and needed signing. Big box, lots of padding and everything was in it. Camera cam separate via HK/CN post about 2 days later.

Installation:

Everything held in place by clips (that dont break when you pull them) 4 bolts hold the radio and AC controls, 6 screws hold the radio and AC controls together. I would leave half a day to do the install your self if you have never opened the dash. I can not probably do it in 1hr easy.

Camera install was a lot more work. i didnt want to drill new hols for the camera so "expanded" an existing hole so i can slide the cable through (sprayed rust prevention around expanded hole too). two holes were made in the plastic trim above rear licence plate to hold camera. running wires was easy just follow the trim.

GPS antenne was glued with double sided take next to rear view mirror

Unit

boot up from cold start was 30 seconds. during this time if you put the gear into reverse the rear camera will come on instantly (ie you dont have to wait for the unit to boot to use rear camera) big plus to me (probably standard on all units)

GPS was very fast im using Sygric but going to try iGO

Audio is great, no difference to the stock (i was happy with stock) you have equliser and fade/balance controls)

steering controls work fine and can be mapped differently if you want. the radio app is very fast before i remove my finger from screen the next station is playing. reception is great as well auto detect finds stations i had no idea about. The is a "AMS" button that will retune the stations, dont use it. and i dont know how to disable it. basically it wil mess up your predefined stations.

BT was easy to setup and works within about 10 seconds after boot. using the built in mic i was told i sound a bit echoy but clear. radio cuts when you receive a call.

DVD works fine, i only used it to test though.

Wifi is very weak but i think that may be more to do with the shielding the car has as my phone got a better connection but not by much.maybe have to park with rear facing house and doors open? dunno.

Touch screen is very accurate and swiping is fast an no lag.

Full access to Google play installed google voice and trying to get it to work with apps instead of using the on screen keyboard. it works via data but want to save offline voice files. may need to root it. theres a huge disscussion on XDA foums regarding this and similar units (1300 pages last time i checked)

you can customerise the startup logo, but there is no LED customisation just white which dims when the headlights turn on.

Rear camera is very detailed, has no IR leds but looks great at night. has parking lines as well but the measurements are fixed so are not accurate. (1m on mine is actually 0.5m) this is probably due tot he angle i installed my camera. There are no reversing "beeps" to warn you if you are too close.

Anything i missed just ask. Being winter i only see the car when its dark during weekdays, will try to get some pics on the weekend.

Wow Brand, thanks a lot for your great and detailed reviews! Good job!

Is that price delivered or delivery is on top?

Hi nihonjin, we provide free shipping fee for AU, so the total price is only 439AUD. If you buy it from our site now the price is 479AUD.

So now you guys can save 40AUD if you join the GB. Please welcome more friends to join, cheers.

I am out of the GB now.

Not the price I was looking for being a Group Buy.

I have sourced my radio elsewhere.

Thanks

OK, DeviousZR6, i have removed your name from the GB list. Anyway, thank you so much for your support to Eonon. :)

I think if we have to wait any longer more will drop off as we will find other options. Surely you can come up with a deal with slightly less people.

Hi nihonjin & Brand, since we need 10 people collected, can we start the GB with the low price for you.

But since you guys have waited for so long, if there are 8 people collected, i will apply to our manager to make an exception.

So that we can start the GB once there are 8 people.

And Brand, could you please don't be out? Since if you join, there are 6 guys now.

Here is the GB list till today. ( If Brand still want to join )

1, Nihonjin

2, DeviousZR6

3, Hashstrid

4, Puplefish

5, Pramu

6,

7,

So guys, please recommend more guys to join, only 2 guys needed, i will try my utmost to ask our manager to make an exception for you guys, so that you don't need to wait for so long. Cheers!

As per my last post a month or so back, the GB is of no benefit to me unless you are able to advise a professional installer in Melbourne that can fit at a reasonable cost, retain steering wheel controls and reverse camera.

Hey Virg, I'm from Melbourne too, maybe all the people from Melbourne can go to the same person to get a cheaper price

Hi VirgilC, just as Hashstrid said, if you guys all go to the same shop for install, i think you will save a lot. Would you like to consider to join?

OK, VirgilC. Since we don't know the professional installer in Melbourne, so we will remove your name from the GB list.

Thanks again for your great support to eonon.

Hi,

Yea I would like to join the group.

Would you be able to elaborate on the 1st option of downloading offline maps.

Like do you connect the unit via usb to a pc or download on Sd card and insert in the unit? or how do you do it?

And would you be able to send me a link to the reverse camera I will need to get which is compatible with this unit, or can i get any reverse camera?

Hi Hashstrid, thanks for your join in the GB, i have added you to the GB list.

About the offline maps, you can download a map online on the unit directly first, then you can install it and use it

easily without network.

And you can choose one of these cameras:

http://www.eonon.com/Car-DVD-others/Camera.html

Thanks for your kind attention and please recommend more firiends to join the GB, so that we can start the GB ASAP.

Cheers!

I would be interested,

Can you explain how you can install the offline navigation?

Also it comes with a reverse camera option right?

And is the GA5164 the latest model? Whats the D5164z?

Thats right sorry going to have to pull out.

OK, Aurion2fly, i have removed you from the GB list. Thanks a lot for your great support again.

I think I was previously counted, too. I'm not going to be buying one.

Hi nvrau, since the unit you are interested was GB5502 which we don't sell anymore.

So i have not counted it to GA5164's GB. Please do not worry. :)

Sorry guys, but im going to have to pull out. I ended up going a different way.

Hi Aurion2fly, so you don't want to join in the GB of GA5164 now, right?

doesnt look like the group buy is going to make it. :(

Whats the best deal you can do on a single unit plus reverse camera?

+ 1

I too would be ready to purchase now and would like to know if you can give a smaller discount for a smaller group.

Can these headunits make use of the existing reverse camera already installed or would a new one need to installed as well. I have the aurion prodigy 2011 that comes standard with reverse camera.

Thanks.

The group buy list till today:

Please welcome more guys to join.

Good to see this is finally here!

Does it come with AU maps?

Man im very interested in the group buy for the GA5164

Hi Aurion2fly, thanks a lot for your great interest. I have added you to the GB list, cheers!

is it minimum 10 to get the deal?

Some have been waiting since January and all things considered it may have been better to buy back then when the AUD was doing a whole lot better

Yes, Brand, once there 10 people collected, then the group buy will be started. There is only about 4 people now.

Please recommend more friends to join.

And great news to tell you guys that GA5164 will come back about 10 days, will let you know once it comes back, cheers.

Is there an information page for the GA5164? When I do a google search for "Eonon GA5164" the only result is this thread which doesn't fill me with confidence. I like the way the Eonon stereos look but as someone who has owned several Android phones the idea of an Android stereo simultaneously makes me feel excited and terrified, depending on the hardware and how easy it will be to connect these things to the internet.

Hi THRILLHO, thanks for your great interest. GA5164 hasn't come back yet. I will let you guys know once it comes back, just stay tuned. Cheers!

Interested as well,

Is there anyone in Melbourne recommended that can fit these units professionally and affordably while allowing ongoing use of steering wheel controls and reverse camera?

Hi Virgilc, thanks for your interest. I have added you to the GB list. Could you tell me which unit are you interested? Thanks!

GM5164

If there s there anyone in Melbourne that can fit these units professionally and affordably while allowing ongoing use of steering wheel controls and reverse camera?

OK, GM5164 also can be add to the group buy, and we will have Android GA5164, which one will you choose?

And we don't have professional installer in Melbourne at present, but it is easy to install it, just plug and play, no worry about that. :D

Sorry I'm time poor so best you drop me off the list

Hi VirgilC, we will have Android unit GA5164, would you like to join?

If you find someone that can fit the unit in Melbourne I am happy to join

Hi VirgilC, just as trentmeyer23 said that any decent auto electrician can install the units.

It is very easy to install, just plug and play, i think maybe you also can install it by yourself. B)

Would you like to join now? :P

Hi Brand, great news to tell you guys that we will have Android unit GA5164 Toyota Aurion 2006-2011/Camry 2007-2011.

The main group buy unit should be GA5164, if there are needs for other Toyota models, we also can add to the group buy. Cheers.

Excellent, do you have a link to the Android unit GA5164? Does it come with a reversing camera?

Hi Brand, we don't have a link now, since it has come back yet. I will let you know in the first time once it comes back, please rest assured. :D

And it supports a rear camera, we will provide the group buy link for camera A0119, then you can buy them together. Cheers.
