Eonon D5150Z 7"

[QUOTE=Sreten;517494]I'm not a stupid man. I do IT for living and troubleshooting is part of my every day work, but this thing wants to end up at the bottom of the ocean.

They finally responded and said that I need to update my unit. Sent some files and instructions. Well, I did do that and it just made things worse.

None of the buttons work now and screen resolution got messed up and there is no option to resize it.

So it looks like this:



Oh, and radio doesn't work anymore. So it is utterly useless now.

Now they are probably going to respond after 3 days once they check with their "tech" in cryptic English and tell me that I need to unplug everything and reboot which I already did


Did you try a hard reset? ( I assume you did) I ad a similar issue after an "update" file was sent toe. I had to learn the word/symbol for "languages" in Cantonese to try to get it back to English. I lost CD/DVD functionality with my update.

I almost found a Cantonese-speaking friend to ty and get an Eonon tech on the phone.

Damn... That is not the review I was hoping for! Sorry to hear it man, I'd be furious. Hoping for your sake that it can be fixed, or they at least allow a return, keep us posted please

Any updates since your last post? Steering wheel controls working yet?

[Sreten]

Nope. They sent me another update after and it just reversed things and it was same as before, no steering controls.

After much explanation with their support I sent the unit back for full refund. At first I wanted that they send me a new unit with new cables and can bus and try it again, but since I'm moving and selling the car that's not happening.

I was talking to few local stereo guys and they don't want to touch these units. They say it's hit or miss as sometimes everything works and sometimes doesn't, like steering controls. They recommend aftermarket units like Kenwood or Pioneer but I personally don't like those. You don't keep the OE look and you have to cut a lot of stuff to be able to fit them.

Man, that sucks, sorry to hear it. Perhaps I'll take a look at the competition as well. Thanks for the info, much appreciated

[MrAdventure]

I just did actually.

I got the GA6150 in January. Not bad, but as has been said, you get what you pay for.
