semcoinc is on a distinguished road
I have been happy with my Eonon sold unit but yes, the units are made by others and then "branded" with the seller's software ROM and feature set.

I have an Eonon WinCE in my E46 and an Android Eonon in my E53.

The Android with iBus app and adapter is the way to go in my opinion.

Also, octacore and 4GB RAM gives a very snappy performance on RAM heavy or multiple apps.

Eonon has for years been very active over on E46 Fanatics and have a member who is a rep for the company answering lots of questions and helping folks with their installs and software bugs.

IIRC, Eonon provides the long FAKRA cable for free with their units. This is the biggest pain of the install for factory Nav equipped vehicles, running the cable from the back to the head unit is tedious work. I ran mine along the driver rear side around the base of the rear seat and then under the center console, coming up through the thick foam lined carpet.

I second the motion to connect everything up on the tailgate to test prior to full blown install.
