Eonon D5150Z 7"

[Cadeez]

Looking to upgrade to NAV, does anyone have this by chance? I'd love to get some feedback. This thing looks like it has all of the functions you'd find in a brand new BMW; 7" NAV touchscreen, bluetooth, DVD, MP3, USB, etc... Seems like a smoking deal, and the DIY looks as basic as it can be.

A few people have/had Eonon units here, not sure if they've used that specific unit. I recall BP not being the largest fan (hence why he's waiting on the Avin Avant 3 to come out). Good luck!

Hey William! Busy time in your neck of the woods this week I literally know nothing about NAV units, but I figure at that price?? It's surely better than the stock Business CD

Hey Jeff,

Yes, yes it is busy. Inauguration tomorrow so it'll certainly be...something to behold.

I don't know a whole lot about aftermarket E46 nav units either. I've been idly looking at options because it would be nice to have Bluetooth and navigation built in. I'm waiting to see what people think of the Avin Avant 3, if it ever comes out (it was supposed to be last summer, then last fall, then last winter, and now there's word it will be April of this year). I hope they've been improving aspects as they've been delaying, but I think that's being wishful at best. Downside is the asking price ($900).

For now, the cell phone mount and an aux cable work perfectly well for me. And it's not like I'm even driving my car right now. It's at home. In a barn. Under a tarp

Silver lining for sure.

Holy crap! See, $900 just isn't worth it to me, I don't care if it can make me a sandwich! (on second thought, I do love a good sandwich) I've gotten a ton of good feedback from this string alone, plus I've been doing my homework elsewhere. For me, the updated GA6150 unit seems like the right fit, it's perfect for my very basic needs. And for $270?? I'm in. I'm slightly nervous about the install, but I've got a good buddy who used to work at Car Toys doing installs, so I'm going to suggest he come over and "supervise" the install.

Saddest thing I've ever heard...

They don't use salt out here on the west coast, luckily, but man did we get some snow over the last few weeks!

I thought I remember William saying they started using salt in Portland?

Holy crap...36 pages of knowledge! Thanks for the link! When I have an extra couple hours this weekend I'll read it more in depth. When you say successor, do you mean the 5151 model? I'm at work so I'm not able to read too deeply, is the new model different/better?
