^^^According to Doru and I believe one other guy you also can install it under the sunroof motor cover, along where the bluetooth mic is hidden

He might not have pushed it in all the way because its a bitch to yank back out (releases completely different then the factory unit). I've been using mine the same way because I am still working on the reverse camera and a have to wire reverse and a few other things. Its easier then fighting with it and potentially damaging the dash.

I should of bought the removal tools from Jeff.

Entirely possible. I didn't even mess with it to much. My dad, who luckily happened to be visiting, suggested the idea and it made plenty of sense so we went with it. Works perfect and I tucked all the wires away so you can't really see it from the outside and at all from inside. Matches my black sharpied out ezpass haha.

Nice Olek, I'm still a few months out from getting one of these. I also saw a post from Jungerishere on page 10 where he said the mic can be attached magnetically on the dash bracket behind the unit (and thus 100% stealth) and signal isn't affected, apparently its more affected by the auto-detect setting for COM ports on Igo software

I just ran it with the GPS and tucked it right the grab handle. You can't see it unless your looking for it:

As Jeff can tell you from dealing with me from the last few days I am no audio installer. I had my dad, whose a retired Volvo/BMW tech of 40 years, cut the dash bracket down for me and pretty much just went with it for the rest of the install. I definitely didn't go all out with looking for better ways to do it so my install might not be the best but it will definitely be a confidence builder for those who are considering doing this as a DIY.

I actually really like the rearview mirror install for the antenna.

And I don't think its been said yet but kudos to Jeff for sure, he is really helpful to you guys who have bought the units, running you through any install issues, etc. And he's lightning fast with the help as well.

I don't have any opinion of the Avin or Eonon sellers but from what I can tell Jeff's service on behalf of Dynavin sales is definitely top notch.

Yea it works well. I'll likely be leaving it there.

As far as Jeff goes, my only gripe is that he doesn't sell more stuff for our vehicles. He has been nothing but helpful and responsive. When I realized I wanted to go with his option for my rearview camera he made sure it got added to my order and I didn't get whacked twice for freight. He's answered all my stupid ass questions .

My coworker had an Eonon in his CL55 and it was NOT plug and play nor was it a cake walk. Everything was in Chinese and he had to have it professionally installed. It worked really well once it was in but I knew I needed to spend the extra money because I wanted to utilize Jeff's customer support. I have no regrets with my purchase from him.

He sells Avin as well. There really is no reason to search for a better deal elsewhere.

Let me know how the camera install goes and the mods you had to do to get it to work properly as well, I've heard its not exactly plug and play.

I like how you have positioned the GPS antenna. I will probably revisit my install and reposition it there as well.
Concerning the mic - I'm not a fan of that position. Yes, it's tucked away, but if (once in a blue moon, granted) you're driving with someone else in the car, and the passenger would like to talk as well, it would be very hard for the receiving party to hear your passenger. In my case, when I drive with my wife, we receive phone calls from the kids for example, and it's either her or me or both talking to them. having the mic dead center where the OE mic slot is, makes for perfect reception for the receiving party. But again, at that instance, I position the mic to whoever is talking - the mic is unidirectional (It's tilted to the driver usually, but when we both talk - like conference call - then I rotate it to the middle, if this makes sense).

Yes, new from Jeff J&T Dist. I've looked everywhere in the box- nothing. I have the USB cable. It's definitely missing. I'll ping Jeff about. I did notice that the SD card was missing when I received the unit and assumed the GPS is already installed in the systems HD (the advert says GPS inbuilt) and wasn't concerned.

Doru, it all makes plenty of sense. I considered the same position as yours but preferred it to be hidden. I'm 6'4 so it sits in the perfect position for me to speak to it. I thought about passengers but its rare that actually happens and I can always just switch the phone to speaker.

Different strokes for different folks but I definitely get your reasoning.
EDIT: if you do reposition the antenna do your absolute best to avoid removing the rear view. Its a bitch to put back on (even though you've probably dealt with this already when wiring the first time).

Yea. As long as your antenna has good position it should fire right up with the SD card. I like that it takes half the time my coworkers eonon did.
