If you are talking about
the support section of the Eonon website I will say it's not particularly helpful. They have many manuals listed there but not for this particular model (GA5166F) or the older versions of this model. Interestingly enough there is a PDF manual on the device itself but it also doesn't contain any wiring information at all. There is a wiring diagram on top of the head unit I have posted here already, which is helpful but still doesn't tell me the vehicle specific information I need to know regarding the remote switch pin on the non-DSP E53 amp / RCU.
It appears I may be blazing somewhat of a trail here where with regards to installing this unit on a pre-2002 E53 with stock nav and non-DSP amp. I found
one other post on this forum where someone is in the same situation and I have already reached out to them but looks like their install is also in progress. You can see
in my other post the connections behind my dash (dual 12-pin) look nothing like either harness they provided.
I have reached out to Eonon they are trying to help but there is a little bit of a language barrier and I don't think they understand how this particular vehicle was setup so this is somewhat of a custom job. I hope that once I figure this out that it will help anyone else out in the same situation. They suggested I try plugging the unit directly into the RCU in the back and see if it works and if so I should buy the $70 5M extension cable I linked to in the first post in this thread. I would rather avoid removing my entire interior including seats to run a new cable. If I can get away with running a single 12V remote wire down the driver side I'd rather opt for that.
They also kindly stated that if it doesn't work out they will allow me to return the unit for a full refund...
I'm very close I think connecting 12V AMP-CON to the correct location. Please see
the last post in my other thread detailing this. Unfortunately I won't have time to mess with this until next weekend but I have my mutlimeter ready to investigate and a spool of 22AWG wire. I'm fairly confident this solution will work...
