Eonon GA6150 review

[ZHPizza]

I'm seriously considering joining you...

I mean...they have a 100 day return window if the price drops more or you find out they're shit or you decide that they weren't worth $347...and that's all before you even get home to install them.

I bought the Eonon GA7150A (8-core + more ram than GA7150). Hardware performance is pretty good but there are some kinks i'm stilll working out. My biggest issue at the moment is trying to find a USB 3G dongle to get a data connection. Looking for reco's.

I have Project Fi which uses T-Mobile data towers. I asked Eonon support and they gave me god damn PCI-Express cards. useless.

I bought a "Unlocked ZTE MF669" (http://www.ebay.com/itm/122195746441) which did not work. I think its only configurable via Windows PC, so the android unit didn't recognize it and i couldn't configure the APN (Access Point Name).

Anyone have success with any particular 3G USB dongle for android/eonon units?

Once I get everything running I'll try to post a review.

Eonon just posted on e46f recommending using a HUAWEI E3370 4G dongle. I know that Google Fi will give you a sim card to use with our data plan, but I'm not sure if you can just plug it into one of these or what. Might want to inquire with Google on that one.

I saw that too right after posting this. I just bought the Huawei E3372s for $40 on ebay. hopefully it works.
I did get a data sim from google and a sim card adapter. The Huawei won't arrive for a few days, i'll try to remember to reply with results.

Have you hooked up your BavSound kit with your Eonon head unit yet?

Nah -- I tore the whole interior out of the car and then got distracted with swapping in the new shocks/struts. I actually test drove it to work today with just a drivers seat and no rear speakers, much less seats/pillars/liners. I've been travelling too much lately, but am hoping to get the speakers/panels installed over the next 2-3 weeks.

Haha I can picture it. Let us know how it sounds once you have it installed.

google project FI SIM will not work completely, it should work only on Tmobile but any device other than their approved units lack the apprpriate carrier/band switching technology.

I have the BavSound Stage 1 hooked up to the Eonon GA7150A.

Functionally, all the speakers work. Sound quality is ok. I have problems with with the BavSound kit resonating the rear shelf and creating vibrations and unequal lows (with stock radio too). I have the infamous tennis ball trick applied to the rear shelf but it still resonates. I'd like to stuff it with sound insulation. It could also be the trunk, I'm not really sure. It's lower on my to-do list than other things.

With the Eonon, you definitely get more customization than the stock radio via the equalizer app. I've never been crazy about the BavSound kit in the first place, but it sounds ok. I'm still trying to dial in the equalizer settings to get it right. So overall it sounds better by virtue of enhanced customization via the equalizer. An audiophile would probably be disappointed.

Any particular questions?
