I love my budget priced Android Eonon GA6166 (they make a GA8XXX series now) which I had to upgrade the SoM board from 1GB RAM to 4GB Ram and now the unit screams through apps.

My conversion was from Factory NAV (NO DSP).

In conjunction with a complete speaker upgrade, my X5 is the best audio experience and my favorite ride, despite the lower gas mileage than my 3-Series vehicles.

I think the market is making no less than 2GB RAM units now so that should be decent but just a little while ago 1GB was common and was pathetically slow and could not manage much more than two simple apps.

Initially, I was disappointed to lose the OBC functionality but that soon faded with the usefulness of the modern Android based infotainment system.

With the BMW IBUS app patched into the Android head unit the OBC functionality is restored + MORE. A visual screen of all OBC functions is available for full time or part time viewing. Modest light coding is available and precise temperature readouts of coolant and engine oil are available.

The latest update to the IBUS app is a great improvement over what was an already great OBC functionality restoration.
