BMW e46 Navigation Install | Eonon GA8150A 

Oh that is such a nice oem fit, Gotta get one now

Thank you for this video ! i am going to put one in my touring! love your coupe! very nice interior, good condition!

Perfect video! Took me less then an hour to instal mine after watching this! Awesome!

Really useful video i did my head unit install so easily thanks to this even fitted the relocation panel in. Like your footwell lights too

This is a very good detailed video. I would like to say that the newest eonon (cheaper one $250) has addressed the slow boot times and removed the eonon logo from the bottom. Boot now is now within 1 sec.

Fine presentation.. you certainly are a great help! Thank you very much....

Thank God I’ve found someone who knows our cars back & 4th without the talking about junk! I’ve subscribed 2 this channel & enjoyed it! I just purchased an o4 330xi to join my 5series & my wife’s new 18 X3.....the 330xi is just for a get around ride, it’s crazy high miles & needs some loving care but still has a kick ass engine & decent int. Again thanks for all the info...

Hey Brother!, TOP Notch video! I can't say enough about the quality of your production, editing, naration, organization, etc. etc. (You could easily use this for a resume!) I hope the unit has not given you any issues, but I will check for your other videos to find out. I was about to swap out the factory system in my 03 e39 with the entire system from an e38 (my old 740i), but I may instead try this guy out. Kudos again my friend!

Great vid bro! Will definitely be waiting for that review! Lookin to gettin one myself as well. 🤙🤪

Nice video! I was really trying to find where install the A/C controls. Thanks Evan.

sick sick sick sick siiiiick I"m going to have to pretty much follow every single video you have made or will make

Great video. Thank you for all your professionalism and effort put in. You are s star.

Nice video dude. Love the drone shots!!

Im suprised that you actually fit in the car

Thank you very much for your extremely helpful video. This was a great help for my little project.

Best video most detailed with everything nice

Excellent job on the video, have considered buying this very same head unit, but most of the videos where Chinese people showing the head unit and not showing how to installed it. Thanks so much, looking forward to your review. Cheers !

Great video you made it look easy anyone from seattle can install it for me will pay

Good video man. I wish someone had a video of how to run the extension harness for an e46 with factory nav. Debating on how to run the extension harness; either through the back seats, back sill plate, B pillar, front sill plate and so on..or through the center console.

Awesome video bro! I had a 330i Msport Sedan, best car i've ever owned in so many ways! Recently bought an Estoril blue 325i e46 Msport individual 2002 facelift, these cars are my favourite model of 3 series BMW. Keep making great content.

Nice Evan! Good job

Awesome video man! I’m looking to get 02 e46 very soon

You made my life a little bit more easy :)

Nice video Evan. Well done !!

Just a quick tip to everyone: those red clips have to be turned 90 degrees when removing and installing. Best way to do that is to insert a big enough flat head inside the hole and use it to twist them without damage

Awesome video!! Want to replace my business radio from BMW and this one seams to be just perfect.

Thanks, very insightful... I hope they have stock here in South Africa, Cape Town . I need one of those 😍😍😍

I recently acquired an E46, 👌🏽

THX for the info! I am considering getting this....

Great video man!

Good work guy! good video tutorial

Thank you, what a useful video 🙏

Amazing video and instructions. I will be getting one with Apple Carplay just because I have iphones and because I despise Android

Very good video. Thankyou for the tips. i fitted it last weekend. (subscribed)

Great video my dude.

Wow, you make installation process seem so easy! Is it really that simple to buy, and plug it up? I'm impressed. Even I should be able to connect it. Thank you.

Cool BMW ;)

Nice bro this is awesome asf.

Very helpful ! Thank You.

Great explanation, really appreciated the details of removing all the dash components, very helpful. My 2002 E46 (Australia) may have trouble with the plugs, for example if it doesn’t have the 4 extra pins in the 40 pin plug behind the head unit, I cant use this unit. Also my unit is the GPS unit (no radio, GPS screen and air unit already moved down) and I haven’t found a RU-vid video on that one yet. Maybe you know of one. Appreciate your time and trouble on this video. Thank you - John

awesome video very informative

Awesome video. Subbed

Great video

Great video thanks! Now time for review then decided if too buy.

Really useful video

Very nice👍

@19:43 Snaking the Microphone cable. I bet a thin Hemostat ($5 on Amzn) would help get cable in from right to left behind glove box opening. But man! I haven’t priced-out what BMW dealership would charge, but if I save my pennies that’s how I’m gonna go. This was amazing to watch though. Who knew BMW used all those common connections even for my 22 y/o 3 Series which I still love. All I can say is WOW…. Can I hire anyone beside a BMW tech to do this? Amazed!

Good job mate

Hey that's in my 02 330i! :)

Thanks for the thorough install details. I have been trying to get that climate control to relocate with no extra parts as a particular vendor selling a very similar unit claims can be done. I had the exact issues as you. Yes it fits but not like factory. I will look into the bracket you mention. Can you change the time on the unit itself? If so, since it is CAN BUS does the dash change? My knob in the dash isnt working ;-)

I found it easier to route the cable up the A pillar, by removing the instrument cluster. Just remove the two screws on the top, pull the cluster out a little, and undo the connectors and it removes as one unit which leaves a huge gaping hole so you can route the cables. There is a small but useable entrance from the bottom of the A pillar area into the instrument cluster area where I poked my wire through.

Great vid

great video! will certainly use this for reference when I get to installing my headunit. Do you have the HK sound system?

Thanks you great video

Woooow, thank you very much!!!

Where did you place the GPS Antenna? Did I miss its installation in the video? Nice job on the video by the way!

Thanks bro..

Great video, just wondering how snug the climate control is without the adapter and if you can do without buying it.

Hello! I know it has been a while since you made this video, so I hope I can get some advise from you regarding type of sound system to install in my 2004 e46. The system you installed is a EONON look nice and in harmony with the rest of the dashboard in this car and you made it seemed uncomplicated to install. Other than this EONON, what other brand would you advise to install, trying to keep the looks and easy to install? What is your opinion on the Alpine brand. I appreciate greatly any suggestions you can make to help me upgrade the system in my car. Thank you for sharing your videos, great job!

Great video! I feel better that I can actually do this myself. I have an e46 with Harmon Kardon. Everything I've found so far tells me I have to get a separate extension to route to the trunk. Seems like quite a pain so I was wondering if you knew of any alternatives, if there is a different adapter or if it will actually work similarly to the plug in your video?

Post more often bro !

Vielen lieben Dank

Hi Evan! Your video was great and definitely helped me get through installing this in my car! So far I am really liking it, but the Bluetooth streaming is coming through and it sounds like there is a lot of static. Have you had the same issue on your unit?

Well done install video. I looked at your channel and didn't see the corresponding review video. Do you have one? In particular: * How long does it take to boot from key-on? * How well does the built-in microphone work? There are reports of very low sensitivity. Also curious about how well it cancels road noise for people on the other end. * How well does bluetooth work? In particular, does the unit sync fairly quickly with both Android and iPhone when it starts up? Do you have to do anything on the phone or headset to sync, once you've gotten it to work once? * How well does Google Maps work? Does this grab data from your phone's cell connection over Bluetooth, or do you have to plug in via USB? * How well does making phone calls work? In particular, can you say "hey Google, call mom" and have it dial hands-free? * There are no screws at the bottom of the bezel. How well does the unit sit flush in the car after a few months/years? * Did you install the tire pressure sensors? If so, do they work? * Is iPhone CarPlay or Android Auto useful in any way? Is either making calls or using the map easier when using these things?

So noice mane

I dont even have an e46 yet I'm enjoying this video lol

nice video love it ,i do not want to remove my a pillar though i wonder if i can make better solution and use a cheap bluetooth mic ,bluetooth chips and modules are dirt cheap you think that they would have an option for a wireless install option for the mic to get it in the factory position , there must me a switched 12v + wire under the mic panel somewhere you could use to get the bluetooth mic to switch on with the car

Great job on your DIY, I'm looking for a DIY on the E38 with Avin-3 Head Unit can you help?

Man, you should look at the Xtrons 9" screen. It is identical to this system, but with a much bigger and better screen, and Android 8.0 instead of 7. I also have an E46, and use to have this same Eonon Head Unit. But it will give you problems with switching functions without you touching anything. So I switched to the Xtrons Head Unit. Much nicer system all the way around. And my music sounds so much better as well. It's called the PE9846BPL by Xtrons. And it's cheaper by 70+ dollars.

What headlamps are you running? They look nice. I can’t see anything at night with the factory ones.

Very nice detailed explanation and the radio looks nice but over 300 bux? Why so expensive?

Nice

Nice install video. I have the earlier version without Android. One problem, the panel around the screen with all the buttons on it doesn't light up at night when headlights are on. Contacted customer service, no help there! Ideas?

great installation video .. I was wondering where I can buy the air conditioner braket for this installation please.. Dave

Please show us how to make the tpms=tire pressure monitor system readings appear on screen as well as if there's a function of choosing your car diagram

Thank you sir love your channel! What do u think about my new eonon10 I recently bought compared 2 your last couple of units?

👑👑👑

15:28 “First boot gone be little bit slow” I can tell from experience that every boot on an EONON is very slow.

Awsome video thanks just bought the new unit hot 96.9??? spokane has a great bmw club

Hey Evan, After installing the new radio, do your steering wheel controls work? Like lower the volume and skip the tracks? It’s so important for me to know though. Thanks

Hi Evan, thanks for sharing the video. Quick question, I have an E39 2003, what do you think of the Eonon GA8201A?

did you loss the onboard computer mine shows fuel consumption along with the GPS my BMW is a 2001 325 ci convertible looks like the one you just installed with the knobs but a lot smaller lc screen keep in mine it almost 18 years old at this point i would love to update it but don't want to lose my onboard computer thanks in advance i enjoy you chanile keep up the great work

How was the reception of the gps and WiFi antennae mounted where you had them?

so the cam bus adapter is included in the kit, or is it something i gotta buy separately?

Is there a similar unit that replaces the climate controls on the e46, also? I would rather be able to choose from different apps than have to deal with BMW's no-off-button controls.

the only problem i have with these aftermarkets is some of them does not turn off the bluetooth or wifi connection and when is car turned off continues to drain your battery. next day morning u wake up and car as result will not start. im sharing this despite video is old now so anyone who does those aftermarket radios and whatnot make sure it does not drain ur battery. your whalecom.

Turn ON “Here” counter

Is the GA9450 a decent unit for my E-46? Reviews seem contradictory. I need CD player functionality. Currently on sale from Aenon for 2 more days at ~$250, with free backup camera, dashcam, and OBD scanner. Thanks, Mike

Hello Evan. Some people speak very badly about the quality of eanon radios. How was your experience with the brand?

Awesome video thx. Does this system fit a M3 e46 Cabrio as is the video? Also the Harmon Kardon system? Will the current amp en speakers work? If there is a newer Model radio best suited for my car, what would you recommend?

Did you have to do any splicing to get the sound to work?

If you have a factory cd changer in the back, is there a way to connect that to this unit as well?

Does the HVAC vents mess with the GPS where you stuck it where you did? Like if it's too hot when using heatIng?

You are so good what state your from thank you

In minute 10:54 you plug two blue cable. One has an a sticker that is written ANT. But what is the name that appear in the other cable stiker? It's necessary to plug? Thx

Do we have to add the microphone option? Please answer 🙏🏽

I just don’t trust these off-brand stereos. Since I have never in my life had to get a JVC product repaired, I installed a JVC KD-X370BTS in my wife’s E46 recently. It only cost $80 new. It looks amazing, plays amazing, and matches the instrument lighting perfectly. I had to purchase a single-din kit, Sirius XM module, and steering wheel control adapter to go with it, but every function works perfectly, including steering wheel controls. It is very compact and installs easily in the factory space, with room for additional modules and cables. For navigation she uses her iPhone, which links via Bluetooth to the JVC stereo.

can you make a video to see how to connect head unit with climate controll and heating seats?

Had anyone figured out the correct sequence of button presses to access recovery mode to flash new software?

Nice video. Looking for the review now that you had it for a couple of weeks. Looking to put the same radio in my sons 325i. Curious about the mic, does it work as you installed?
