e53 replacing radio with eonon GA5166 DVD/GPS/TV/Android4.2.2

[HPM]

I have this unit and am having the same trouble, no sound and also no LED light on the player - Eonon is clueless on how to get this working.

Here is the post I just submitted, hopefully we can all figure this out.

A fellow named Carlos is the Eonon rep here

and has helped coordinate group buys and troubleshooting and solutions for the E46 units Eonon makes.

Maybe he can help you.......

I'm holding off on an Eonon unit for my factory nav E53 until I feel better about all these issues.

Sorry, but at nearly 2X the price the Dynavin N6, while receiving awesome reviews, is a non-starter for my budget.

I just received ga5166 and cable in the mail today for wifes 2005 X5 with factory Nav , has anybody else installed this unit without "splicing" any wires ? Thanks

Hi Hollywood,

My understanding is that if you have factory nav and use a cable such as this

you will go from the Eonon unit to the rear hatch floor with the cable to make the majority of the connections to the radio tuner box.

A couple of minor connections are still made in the front dash (dimmer circuit, running lights on, etc.)
