Did you plug can bus into the connection in the rear , or the connection in the front ( behind the head unit itself) It looks like there is a white plug on both ends of the "special cable" that the can bus box can be plugged into .

I just installed the EONON 5166 and it works!!

I plugged it into the small white connector up front behind the head unit. My cable A0567 did not have a white connector at the rear/trunk location.

Has anyone else had any luck gettingthe steering wheel controls to program, or even the buttons on the deck for that matter?
My buttons on the deck and steering wheel work only for the built in music app and nothing else. If I have Pandora or VLC open or anything else it should work with and press next track, it launches the music player and starts playing on top of what's already playing.
I have gone into the steering wheel settings and I tried to assign the buttons to the controls, but it doesn't even recognize any button presses, as if it's disconnected.

Also my button don't stay lot, they only light up for a second when I press the LED button.

In my E46 Eonon GM5150 unit, the steering wheel buttons are NOT programmable. You get what you get with the CAN Bus box they give you. I get just basic volume up and down and up down track functionality and answer phone with the talking head button if I remember correctly.
