Eonon 7'' Double Din Car Stereo Wireless CarPlay Android Auto X3

For the price, this is an excellent no-frills head unit that delivers fast, reliable wireless CarPlay without the usual Android bloat. It fits perfectly in my NB Miata when paired with the Metra Electronics 99-7505 double DIN installation kit. I originally bought it because of the reviews and the extremely low cost, and it has exceeded expectations. The Linux-based operating system boots quickly, and wireless CarPlay connects in under 10 seconds. Rear camera performance is clear and reliable. I like having a physical volume knob, although there is no mute function for CarPlay, so volume has to be turned down manually. Call audio quality is very good even without using an external microphone. Installation was customized: I removed the ISO connector and wired in an aftermarket Miata harness, bypassed the factory Bose amplifier to run the head unit directly to the speakers, and added a separate switch for the power antenna since the unit’s blue wire is always on. Sound quality is an improvement over my previous Pioneer single-DIN head unit.

This thing lasted a month before i started noticing issues. Sound quality being sent to me speakers is decent. Once i figured out the audio settings it got alittle better. But you can’t stream anything on it from streaming platforms, it’s not supported at all. And over the months I’ve had this radio it’s been a continuous downhill slope with it. It likes to completely reboot itself every so often and reset all the settings, it will not reconnect to my phone if i leave my truck running but walk away for a quick minute unless i go into my phone and forget Bluetooth device then repair. The screen is poorly secured so one corner is now pushed in. It has no idea how to set the daylight/nightlight screen which is not changeable in settings. The screen now constantly acts like something is constantly touching it and changing my maps screen. It’ll constantly revert back to the home screen but car play will still be active? This thing likes to freak out alot is what i kinda sum it up to. Honestly spend alittle more and get something else. This thing sucks. It was good for a cheap option to replace my broken radio that cane with my truck but i regret not spending a couple dollars more on something else.

Far surpassed my expectations for the price. For starters, the interface is fairly easy to navigate and full of features, but the head unit boots up fairly quickly (5-7 seconds after the ignition is switched on). I installed the included rear-view camera, and the sharpness and quality is also excellent for the price. FM/AM reception is good, phone connectivity is stable, and wireless Carplay works wonderfully without much lag. The amplifier gets plenty loud and will overpower my factory car speakers if I set the volume above halfway, but there is plenty of granularity in how much you can adjust the volume. Overall, I was very impressed with this head unit, it was relatively easy for me to install, but I have a background in electronics. It took me about 3 hours all in. Make sure to get the required audio wiring harness and dash kit for your vehicle. Some cars will be able to accept this with no modification (I think some GM vehicles work with the included harness). I had to purchase an additional harness for my Honda and bridge the connections to the harness included with the radio using a soldering iron. The only gripe I have is the fitment between the volume knob and my frame for the dash kit. The knob is small and scrubs against the frame, which made it difficult to adjust the volume at first. It seems to have work in / I got used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore.

The good: the kit includes a rear camera and the special wiring needed. Very good sound and a decent output power. Android auto works wireless on my phone (Xiaomi Note 9) and also works wired with my wife one (Xiaomi Redmi 9). *** It has an annoying bug: after a hands free phone call, the audio disconnects. You have no choice but restart the unit.*** How could it been better? Well, on my car, a wire exchange had to be done between batt (red) and acc (yellow), to keep the settings after a power off. May be your car doesn't need this to be done. The DSP is nice and you can shape the sound to your liking. You can go to the controls easyly from a shortcut icon in the radio, but from any other sound source you will be forced to navigate through many stages to reach them, wich is uncomfortable and dangerous if you are driving. Another annoyance is that the wired Android auto version needs to plug the cable into the unit frame, a odd and ugly place where your fingers will collide at the bottom left corner of the screen. The unit provides a separated female USB that should be perfect for that, but sadly only works as a charging port. I had to install a separated power switch or push button, in order to power down the unit, because if it fails to connect wireless Android auto, you need to restart the unit, and of course, you can't do that when driving. However, I learned not to fiddle with the sceen when the unit is starting, and no more wireless Android auto failures occurred since. The kit also includes an external mic, wich was not needed. The onboard one works fine with my voice. I added a cheap remote control to the steering wheel column (a wired one) and works very well, despite the phisical controls the unit provides, so I always have my hands on the wheel. Installation: Watch out the dimensions. In my country I had a hard time finding an adapter frame for my Ford Ecosport. Only few vendors, and very pricey (half the price the unit itself). So I ended making some Macgyverish with scrap aluminium profiles, wood pieces and cooper tubing to adapt the unit. A nice carbon fiber wrapper finish added beauty to the self made frame. The rear camera works very well even in low ligth environment, despite some flickering. I considered an Atoto A6 before, but the Eonon gave me a phisical volume knob and an onboard DSP, so it was the winner. For a hundred bucks, you have a nice, modern unit with decent sound, wireless Android auto and a rear camera, special wiring included.

Got it installed on a 2010 Toyota Corolla, and it’s been awesome! The screen is bright, colorful, and way better than the dull, dim ones you usually see in many factory setups with Android Auto/CarPlay. This one is pretty fast too—boots up in about 8-10 seconds from off (and it's fine, usually merging traffic, or using the reverse camera and that get's working instantly). The Wireless CarPlay kicks in with no lag. You can even set a custom boot logo, which is a cool touch (I got the newer firmware out of the box). The sound from the Toshiba amp is solid—I'm no expert, but it works great for my older car! So far, 100% worth it! I just hope it stays reliable long-term.

PROS: Flawless wireless Apple-play Experience!!! Price!!! Does not freeze!! Powers speakers nicely!! Great sound quality!! DSP Equalizer!! Subwoofer output works good!! CONS: Comes with a vehicle specific plug that is already connected to stereo harness so it must be cut off in order to install your vehicle specific adapter harness!!! Therefore no wiring diagram except for the extra accessory wires that are not hooked up Make sure to use solder seal connectors or solder with shrink wrap to get a good firm connection OR you may experience the stereo constantly restarting as I did when I did not use solder seal connectors at first Screen mirroring works some of the time but sometimes freezes, but I’m assuming this is due to me having an iPhone and I’ve never had very good screen mirroring experiences with anything using my iPhone. Androids will probably work better with screen mirroring on those stereo considering Android is based off Linux, unlike apple IOS

This is a value to freshen up an older car. I have a gen 2 nissan frontier and this head unit really restored my love for it. the apple car play is wireless! it feels so modern and has a lot of modern features. and at this price point you really cannot beat it. there are a few glitches and flaws with it though. the car play home screen does jot always stay up. the display sometimes just shows the clock… which can be annoying because it seems to do it randomly. sometimes when not in carplay, it can be glitchy to navigate the menus and the options are lacking. the screen is not great with polarized lenses. i have not had an issue with other head units, but on this one the screen seems to be affected greatly. the brightness is not great in the day and then it does not have a setting to turn it down much at night from what i found. In other words, it stays daylight bright even though your headlamps are on. Those are my biggest gripes with it, but for the $100 i paid for it, i doubt i could get a better unit.

Bought this unit for Apple CarPlay thinking it has more features than my Apline unit. I was wrong. Apple CarPlay does not work wired nor wireless. iPhone 16 pro running current update. Tried multiple usb-c cables to no avail. Before someone says I didn’t use an official Apple branded usb-c cable, the cables I tested work fine with my Alpine ilx-w650. All of them. I tested a Samsung s20+ to see if android auto would work. You guessed it, no it does not. Wired and wireless both do not work. I’ll admit my s20+ isn’t running the latest version of android, but I don’t use this phone anymore and didn’t buy this unit to use with Android Auto. Screen doesn’t lag as much as I thought it would. This exceeded my expectations. Picture quality wasn’t bad either. Not the best, but again not the main reason for purchase. It turns on, so that’s a plus. I liked this unit because it has a physical volume knob, but Apple CarPlay doesn’t work, which is a bummer. This unit is light. Feels as though it was made of double layered tin foil and paper plates. Not the reinforced fiber paper plates, but the really flimsy kind. What did I expect for $100? I expected this to work as described. It did not. I should have just bought the Atoto brand like everyone tells me to. If you buy this unit anyway, good luck. Maybe I just got a bad one.

Connects, when I go to click on anything like open youtube music it closes andriod auto and says connection lost. Very frustrating.

Packaging was good Product was good Really liked it

Excellent value for money & a real volume knob :D Great ergonomics when driving. Android Auto (AA) is via wifi or wired connection. The wifi channel is fixed in stereo so dropouts occur until nearby devices re-negotiatge wifi frequencies. To listen radio & use AA for satnav, disable the AA feature for "auto play music on connect", otherwise radio music is stopped.

Funciona bien, el sistema se ve fluido y no hay complicaciones para conectar al android auto, en cuanto a sonido me sorprendió muy buena opción para actualizar el estereo de fábrica de tu auto. Actualizacion: Acaban de lanzar una nueva version de Firmware que permite modificar la imagen de inicio bootlogo con la marca del carro eso le da un plus.

Gutes Radio.
