I have a similar version from Seicane that I would no recommend buying from due to the language barrier, lack of customer services and no US contact. Pictures follows:

I was an early adopter of the Eonon GA6166 with 1GB RAM and a PX3 board in January 2017.



I can tell you from experience that 1GB RAM (without a custom ROM from one of the xda-developers community) is pathetic to stream Pandora, run a weather app and run your mapping app. It was nearly 80% or higher RAM usage. 2GB would put you at around 50% of RAM.

I did a board upgrade to a PX5 octa core with 4GB RAM and 32GB flash and that is definitely the right level of performance.



The I-BUS app is a must have which recovers nearly all and surpasses the original Board Monitor functionality that is/was lost in changing out the factory head unit.

I also added a TPMS video patching system that is great functionality since I did not have factory TPMS and I'm not driven crazy by buggy factory TPMS sensors or batteries in the tire sensors.

Heeeeeey! What’s up with that paddle shifter? What’s the scoop on those? Thanks. Nice setup you have. Love the carbon fiber.

Thanks.

I replaced the stock steering wheel with a SMG M3 paddleshift wheel. It is wired to transmission so it is functional.

Purchased carbon fiber trim from England many years ago. I bought the last set. It's real carbon fiber.

Very cool!

I thought I'd read ab those shifters, but I'd forgotten that they came from an E46. Very cool and yet another example of a disparate part bin considered in our E53 discussions!

Are they like these?
