    There is indeed a BMW roundel loading screen that you can select in the 'Extra Settings' menu (password is 126). You'll probably never see it, though. The thing just boots up ready to go every time you start the car. No loading screen.

    That's the exact unit that I have, but the generated images are showing a different physical button layout and launcher screen. Apps and menu screens are all the same. I wonder if the actual product looks like that...no pictures of it.

    They really did an excellent job of listing the specifications/capabilities of these units, though. Great reference material!

    I checked out their pricing, since AliExpress is usually your best bet for this stuff.

    Erisin = $269 + $45 shipping = $314 total for just the head unit (cheaper than Eonon)

    Getting mine from AliExpress was $290 (now $295) total and included the two cameras (which are cheap, but whatevs).

    Erisin/Eonon/Etc tend to just rebadge the same unit and sell it with their own markup/branding.

    Makes sense, I was going off the pictures. I started out at the Avin website and noticed they had a $500 unit with 2G ram and Android 6.0. I searched the model number and somehow ended up looking at this unit.

    Layout looks as pictured

    Got the piece that I needed to finish the install. It's not much of a difference, but it should be all that I need.



    Now to find the time to finish it all...

    Good luck- I know you'll get it all nailed down.

    I'm going to try to clarify what I said earlier about the graphic EQ settings.

    If you look your graphic EQ curve and try to guess what the center line of that curve is, it's about 4dB (ticks) above zero. So if you pull every slider down 4 ticks, you'll accomplish the same effect as what you have but with less possibility for overload in the system, plus the ability to add more level in a given frequency should you choose to do so (not reccomended tho).

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks! I actually got it adjusted per your recommendations yesterday and feel much better about it.

    I found this, which I think is what you were asking about in your post. Looks like some people have modified these to add more audio controls.



    Info here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/and...sound-t3234660

    Looks like a lot more effort than I want to put into this thing.

    That video shows exactly what I was talking about with the no-load-screen thing! It's amazing! I left the car for 2+ days and still didn't have a load screen.

    I kind of like that button layout too. The the back button on mine is clicking the knob on the right side, which is fine, but would be more ergonomic on the left side. Looks like the right knob is mute on the Erisin unit, while it's the left (volume) knob on mine. So funny how they mapped the same internal hardware differently.

    Here's a comparison for everyone that's like "wtf is this dude going on about..."


    Erisin Unit



    My Unit (heh)



    - I set the NAV button to open Waze
    - The BAND button cycles between FM1/FM2/FM3?/AM1/AM2. Nice if you visit 2-3 cities often. I think it takes you directly to the radio if you're in another app.
    - MENU is a home button
    - MODE cycles between radio/dvr/dvd/music/ipod/etc. I don't use it because I can't add Spotify as a "mode."
    - Left knob is volume control, click to mute
    - Right side is pretty self explanatory, except that clicking the right knob acts as a back button. I thought that the Erisin setup looked a little cleaner, but wanted the song controls on the right side to make it easier for the wife to skip the track whenever Creed starts playing. She just can't handle the beastly vocals of Scott Stapp.

    So glad you started this thread, I was really getting bummed out that everyone was having so many issues with their Eonon units. So this alternative seems like a great option! And now that you've laid out all of the inner workings, settings, etc so nicely, I should be able to set mine up (once I order it) without issue

    Yeah it's definitely turned out to be better than I expected. I think you'll be really happy with the audio output too. I didn't fully appreciate it until I was disappointed listening to some of my saved songs at home and realized that I only liked them in the car where they sound a lot better. I just ordered the Bavsound​ speaker kit to go with it after a guy was telling me how well they work together.

    I'd search around for a different seller, though. This guy hasn't​been helpful at all.
