I would like to hear more from any folks that have installed the Eonon E53 offering into their vehicle. The cost is very compelling. Their latest offering is the D5166Z.

In early 2014 I installed the Eonon Gm5150 into my factory nav E46 330Xi. A little quirky at first but they were clearly developing and debugging on the fly. Subsequent firmware upgrades settled it down to a decent unit for the sub $400 price. Yes the FAKRA cable to the trunk area was necessary and will also be needed for the E53 install.

I just recently got my iGo8 settled down with a sys.txt file that is working awesome. Q2/2014 NORTH America maps can be found at this torrent link

iGO8 R3 HERE (Navteq) 2014.Q2 North America (United States, Canada & Mexico) - torrent - iGO GPS Systems - Android Zone

The Dynavin N6 seems to be the top performer from what I've read here of folks who have installed it (works even WITH DSP), but at nearly 2X the price of Eonon offering, I'm having difficulty seeing that much premium over the Eonon unit, so I'm interested in hearing anything folks have to say about D5166Z operating experiences.

To be clear, I would pay some premium for the N6 over the Eonon pricing but not nearly 2X.

Thanks,

Mike
