Help me pick a head unit Eonon
I'm putting it in a 2006 X5 with widescreen navigation without DSP. I know I'll lose my OBC, but I'm fine with that as long as my steering wheel controls still work to control the deck. The full Android version looks like it has more bells and whistles to it and I'd like to think that it'd be more reliable. I've searched a lot of threads and it seems like the Android one works better in a lot more situations. I'm kinda torn, because if both do the same thing, I'd rather save some money than not. Here's what I'm looking for it to do: CD/DVD/A2DP/USB MP3/AUX playback Bluetooth hands free calling DVD playback to rear screens while audio system has music from Bluetooth, aux, or mp3s on USB drive Navigation, preferably using WAZE, but able to use navigation without internet tethered through phone/hotspot.

Did you ever make a decision? I'm in almost the exact same boat, though I do have Nav w/ DSP.

My main reason for choosing it over the other one was that it supports 32GB USB/SD cards and I have a lot of music I want on hand. The windows version only supports 16GB and looks like it has USB or SD, not both. The Android version is supposed to be more stable and adds more features too. I contacted Eonon and you can't play video on rear monitors and still listen to music on the front. No dual zone there. Ah well kids will live. Just gonna get them tablets for the car for those long trips. So far I haven't had the time to do the install. I did install the backup camera, which involved me drilling a 1/2" hole behind the license plate to run the wires, moving the license plate holder down by putting the screws through the plastic instead of the metal holes (with the camera above the license plate, the hatch lid hit the camera, even with it mounted as far down as possible on the plate), drilling two small holes at the top of the license plate to mount the camera, fiahing the video lead through the rubber conduit in the tailgate, and splicing the power to the camera into the reverse light wiring. That took me about 2 hours to do, and is likely the longest part of the install. The video wire is just chilling in the spare tire well atm. I'll run that when I run the extension harness to the amp/canbus in the trunk. I just want to do all of that in one run. There is an external mic for the bluetooth, even though it has an internal mic. I'll probably test the internal and external to see which works best (or good enough) before installing that. There's also a GPS antenna to run and a wifi antenna to run. I'm going to run a rca to 3.5mm aux in, in the same location I have my aux now. I'm going to put a usb extension in the ash tray as well, since both USB (front dash cam DVR and general) ports are behind the deck. Both SD cards (nav and general) are on the deck itself. So I'm doing a little more work than necessary, but I want access to all inputs up front. That also reminds me, I should have ordered the usb extension and 3.5mm rca cord ahead of time, but I got busy and forgot. Either way, those will be easy to add later. I'm doing the install tomorrow.
