    Upgraded to the Eonon GM5150 from the D5150. First I must say I was pretty happy with the D5150 but I really liked the new UI Eonon did with the GM5150. After receiving the unit I noticed right away Eonon listened to our feedback and lengthened the RCA wires and included a 90 degree iPod cable. These two additions make the install way easier! The RCA wires on the original D5150 were 75mm and on the new GM5150 they are 140mm's. Also there is a small black pad underneath the unit, this is there for a reason do not remove. This actually helps keep the unit sitting more secure in the dash. Simple but effective solution.

    The biggest differences I have noticed from the D5150 is the Orange LED's to match the BMW dash. The Bluetooth Mic works really good. I tested a call and it came in loud and clear, I even put my finger over the Mic hole on the unit and there was NO difference in the call quality! The new UI is the biggest thing I really like about the GM5150. Every screen was redesigned and looks so much better. Small tweaks like moving the dimming button to the far left instead of the center, easier to reach while driving. The remote control is a leap forward from the old one, way to go Eonon! The clock size was reduced and moved to the far left and can be turned off if desired.

    Here are a few minor issues:
    1- The clock won't keep correct time.
    (Set to GPS sync and the correct time zone)
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Time_Zone
    2- The unit goes to A2DP music streaming on most start ups.
    (Turning Auto Connect Off Corrects this)

    I experimented with three different radio antenna adapters to address the radio reception issue. The one that comes from Eonon works best without the Blue wire connected.
    The adapter I had previously used with the D5150 was slightly better, the 40-EU10. The one I found that works the best and eliminated most of static and weak reception is 40-EU55 the. It's for 2002 and up BMW's with powered antennas and newer Facra style antennas and is approx $13.

    Adapter is a Metra 40-EU55

    http://www.amazon.com/Metra-40-EU55-...=Metra+40-EU55





    Installing the 5150 requires a relocation bracket. This part cost approx $85 from ECSTuning. There are two different ones available depending on which button console you have. This part is needed for lowering the AC controls down below making room for the 5150 on top. When you relocate the heater / AC controls what you want is BMW part number 51167001410, ECS part ES#82727.

    Here's more information about the differences between the two "single cutout" mounting brackets...

    51167001410: Single cutout version w/ smoker's package
    51167001408: Single cutout version non-smoker's package

    The non-smokers package allows for easy installation of the front storage compartment 51168208369 and does not include the LED light. You can retrofit the compartment tray into a smokers unit but there's a little tab that needs to be cut out.

    Cigarette lighter block off plug 51168222183.
    Functionally either one will work but if you get the wrong one you will have a gap in the lower corners.





    Two videos on how to take apart the dash and remove the Stereo, AC controls and Storage bin. Here is a helpful tip for removing the center vent, use two plastic cards (old credit cards/store membership cards) and slide them into the top left and right corners of the center vent. This will release both clips.

    The older D5150's did not have the Orange LED's to match the dash, the newer batch did. Eonon states this cannot be added by a firmware update. The newer batch also addressed issues the original units had which made the install difficult such as really short RCA's and the straight iPod adapter and a upgraded Can Bus V2.

    The GM5150 adds New OEM BMW UI, Screen Mirroring, NFC URC, 7 LED button Colors including Orange.

    Gary, did Eonon fix issues for people who have OE Navigation? This is one reason I ended up not installing the Eonon unit I had.....the 5M extension cable was advertised to work for my OE equipped Navi ZHP but in actuality, did not work at all...

    The radio wiring for OE Navigation equipped BMWs are in the back where the BM53 radio unit is mounted, not in front where BMWs with the Business CD radio is mounted....

    Until this issue is fully resolved, I'm resorted to keeping my OE Navi setup

    Ditto on Colin's car. Also wonder about any improvements to the mic and volume (ability to turn to zero). I'm sure there will be plenty of updates on e46f.

    To be completely honest I'm not sure. Beings I do not have factory Navigation I don't follow those posts. If I remember correctly a few guys over on E46Fanatics did install these in place of the factory Nav but it was alot more involved as far as wiring goes.

    My Mic quality was pretty good from the beginning. After a few of us addressed the Mic issues we found that some Mic's were mounted flush with the circuit board which is approx 3/8" away from the Mic hole in the faceplate. My Mic was mounted 3/8" off the board which put it right behind the faceplate. On my unit I ended up enlarging the Mic hole slightly which made a big difference. One member did a sweet DIY on how to add a adapter to plug in a external Mic.

    The volume control issue is corrected with a firmware update.

    I'm thinking up upgrading to the GM5150 from my D5150 and will provide some feedback if I go that route.

    I also posted a video showing the GM5150 in action in my first post.
