Eonon GA1556X installation

Hello gents,

I finally got around to installing the new EONON GA5166X on my DSP equipped car. It went so easy that I'm actually worried....that never happens! I do have a question though and hope someone can help: I never connected the CAN BUS box as I couldn't figure out where it goes so I skipped it, connected the antennas, wifi and GPS, started it up and immediate success even the steering wheel buttons worked

From reading on EONON's website, here and other sites, they all say you need the CAN BUS box to get the steering wheel function so why did this work for me??? Admittedly, I can Only control volume through the steering (when playing music via BT) and when I press the skip buttons I see the dashboard skipping radio channels and not songs....however, googling about this I see that you can tell the Unit what the steering wheel buttons should do and just need to be programmed accordingly. I'll try that soon and see if it helps.

If you guys can advise me on if and where I should connect the CAN BUS box I would really appreciate it.

Cheers
