Bro is the screen bright enough in your opinion?
The screen is very bright, you can read the screen in full sun light. The pics above were taken during the day, the screen is reflective but not "hi gloss" . At night the screen does not dim enough for me, so i have installed a app that dims the screen based on the time of day.

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

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.

After much thought, I ordered this Erisin unit off eBay this week: http://www.ebay.com/itm/231452401614?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
For only $290 AUD with free shipping it sounds like a bargain, so I'm looking forward to it's arrival. What stood out for me compared to other units was that it has 3 USB ports (1 on the front and 2 on the rear) so I can have my USB cables tucked up under the dash, and it has an external microphone input for Bluetooth so I can mount the mic in the factory position up on the roof map light. Before buying I was able to email the seller to make sure it came with New Zealand GPS maps too, so that's always a bonus :)
Shortly after I bought it on eBay I discovered I could have got it a bit cheaper by buying it directly through their website (just my luck, lol) but for the price it appears to be a great unit for the money. This is a link to their website if you want to get it a bit cheaper compared to their eBay listing: http://www.erisin.com/erisin-es7668m-8-car-dvd-player-gps-sat-navi-3g-iphone5-vmcd-toyota-aurion-camry_p547.html
Just be aware that the unit you listed is WinCE based and not Android as the Eonon units in the group buy are. This is not a issue if you are going to use the unit as is with no intentions to customise or install new/alternative apps.

[edit] waiting since feb for this buy with no indication of prices, cant wait any longer im out
-
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?
-
Good to see this is finally here!
Does it come with AU maps?
-
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
-
cheers prometheus, they are the ones im looking at, except the DRL's do not act as indicators like 07Prodigy's link.
Will probally get these and then try to modify them to have orange/yellow LEDS and hook them up to the indicators.
edit
Combine them with this

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

What model Aurion is this group buy for?
I'm in it only if its a 2007-2011 Aurion. Ideally a Android version if available.
-
You can get the parts from eBay or Toyota.
Being me I'd get them from Toyota.
If you want DRLs as well you can get the trim/shroud with them in it off eBay.
Shroud:
This one has indicators too, but if you don't want them just don't wire them up.
eBay number: 261268586398
Is there fogs like this (DRL's are indicators) but to suit a 2009 model?

Have a look at the CAN Communications section in the below links

Q) Are there any service manuals available to download for the Aurion?
A) There currently are not any Aurion service manuals that are easily obtainable online for the general public. Luckily however, the Aurion shares a lot in common with the American Specification Gen 6 V6 Camry. This car does however have an online service manual available from:Camry Stuff - Gen6 Manualsthe following link:
07-09 Camry Service Manuals
For the above link to Google Docs, if you find that it does not work, try signing into a Google Account such as Gmail. Otherwise, try opening the link in a new "Incognito Window" (Chrome), "Private Browsing Window" (Firefox), or "InPrivate Browsing Window" (Internet Explorer) without logging into a Google Account.
If you would like to download all the manuals, you can select all documents with the checkbox on the left hand side then click the "More" button and then select "Download".
Just bear in mind that there will be differences in the manual that is nothing like the Aurion but for a majority of it, and when used as a guide, it is rather useful. The link above to the online service manuals are specifically for the pre-facelift model, however the facelift model is rather similar so the manual can still be of use. As well, for any part number references (no TRD's sorry), you can find the following site useful: http://www.toyodiy.com.

While im still keen on this group buy, does it have to be that model? Any deals on the Android units?
-
I heard the same, and i do have that problem with my other car, need to hold my phone where there is no film to get a reliable gps signal.
I ended up going with non metalic film from solartint in blacktown, there were "ok"
-
What tint are you getting?
Dye - cheap crap
Metallic - half decent
Carbon - the best
Electro chromatic - the best but switchable
Metalilic is what i have on my other car and what i want on the Aurion.
Ground zero tinting did my carmy when i had one removed my old ones for $220

Tried Martin, but no reply from mobile and voicemail was a very generic " your number will be sent to ...." message

How you going with this?
I'm keen to do the same. Have already installed after market fogs, but saw the existing wires already there so trying to use them instead of running extra wires.
