Thanks for the video! My GA7165S will arrive on Friday. I bought it after watching another one of your videos. I ordered the backup camera as well after getting spoiled with my wife's Odyssey. Keep up the good work!

So informative and thorough! you make diys a breeze for this car man 🖒

First of all, thank you so much for this tutorial. You have no idea how helpful this was during my installation, and I really appreciate all of your videos as a whole. I only have a minor issue, and that’s because my Eonon system beeps during start up and is completely fine afterwards. I was hoping that maybe you would know what the issue was, or at least how to go about fixing it? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Dude i love your videos, keep up the amazing work. Just a quick suggestion, i would love to see this videos in day light, it will be better and helpful to you also: so that your camera wont have a hard time to focus and you can also have a better visibility. Thanks.

I hope you have success with your new channel. Not too many e90 youtubers out now

Thanks for the clear video's you make on the BMW E90. Was planning to buy the Zenec-3215 for my 320d. But watching this video makes me doubt (again) What holds me back are the negative posts (reviews) on the Eonon company.... Lets see what your user experience brings up.

Note- if your factory radio harness doesn’t have 8 speaker wires you will probably need a optical decoder, cheapest one I found is 114 dollars

Did they update the sizing for the newer models too?

Perhaps a little note. After connecting the cables, first see if the radio switches on, before installing it.

I have a premium speakers on my e90, if I buy this radio system do I lose any of the quality of my speakers?

Thanks alot!!! I´m just about to do this on my E90 330i. Greatings from Stockholm Sweden.

those screws at the top with the orange tape are to secure the CD/DVD unit so that it doesn't brake while shipping

Do you get a loud beeping sound when the car is running and the door is open?

I need help with my radio e90 also ????

I'm trying to figure out how to do the heated seat switches when using one of these radios?

Thumbs up just for the intro music 👊🏽

My revers cam doesn’t work ...I try to put another cam and make me problems what should I do ?? Thanks

Nice video man. Thanks for your time and dedication!

instructions made simple... and well articulated...thanks!

Your bmw videos are so dope and helpful keep them rolling

Nice video, your installation tutorial on GA 6165 was really helpfull! I bought mine GA7165 few weeks ago and it's really awesome stereo, just few things which I noticed againts stock bmw stereo: 1) Radio reception strenght - many ppl have this issue with eonon, solution for me was not to plug in ANT+ cable (blue one), the signal is 100% better now, but still not same as stock bmw radio. I wrote about this to eonon and they said me that it's because stereo recieving many signals, like gps, etc, I don't know but this sounds like bul*hit to me... (my phone has no problem with this :-D ). 2) Last radio station memory - when I leav eonon without power (engine off) for few minutes, the radio has my last played station in memory so radio automatically starts playing last station, but if I leav him for few hours without power eonon doesn't remember it. (it's in preset menu, but what i get after i start is crackling :-( ) About eonon ash tray, it has really cheap look (my opinion) and eonon has only black ones so for people with silver trims, it's not looking good. I decide to do not install it, I lose my parking sensor button (i wasn't using him anyway). If someone thinking about same solution, do not unplug panel!!!, otherwise the car will not start :-D, just place him behind stereo. Thanks for your videos.

Where to buy the kit for seat heating in ash tray?

JD can you tell me about sound quality of the Bluetooth calls? Can you be heard well and can people hear you?

3 year update ? 😎

Would this work with my 2007 bmw 328xi

What if I’m not getting sound? And SOS

is there any fix for the no sound/ sos error yet? kinda regretting buying this thing

Do you need to buy the GPS car or can you use something off the radio or phone ???

Hi I have the same stereo, I have some questions like how to get the WiFi to set up and other things

I guess I have to to the same process with my E92 cause the original stereo system sucks ass literaly! The only issue I have where the hell I'm going to put the PDC button? Does the bracket which comes with the radio have button holes or there's gonna be some custom stuff to find place to put the PDC button?

It worked perfectly at first but then the display turned off does anybody know what could be the reason? Everything is plugged in the way it should be

Is there a reason you didn’t screw the botttom screws in on the bracket. I just read my manual and I’m like damn I should have done that

firstly thanks for your previous videos (helped me install the 7165 in my e90) Wondering if you can tell me if you have any issues with yours. I have continuous issues with spotify crashing and stopping music.. and getting good audio for spotify as the different modes for the head unit (navi,music,video etc..) seem to change audio settings or play the other media in the background. Also pisses me off how it starts on radio everytime but not on saved chanel.. just static until i change it /rant

Hello there. Thanks for this video. My E90 has no sound after installing the one of chinese radio from aliexpress. Apparently my car has some fiber optics? 🤯 As you can tell am not a car person. Do you have any insight?

Hello, can one tell me how I come in the recovery mode? With me the radio will hang at the booting.

If you don't plug in the blue wire for the antenna you get better reception I don't know why but it doesn't sound like shit anymore

Thanks for the video!

What is the best way to run your GPS on this sytem, is it through the phone or from an uploaded map? Thanks.

Hey bro! Clean! I’ve been reading the comments and I’ve seen a lot of people talking about a gap or something about the climate control not fitting well and you said something about trimming it. I ordered the GA8165A the newest version but i can’t seem to find the piece to trim so it fits better.

Hello I have eonon model ga7165 my car is a bmw 330i 2006 works perfectly but you can not hear someone can help me

Nice video yet again. I didn't quite understand why you bought the new version? Was it really worth to buy it? Its not that long ago since you got the 6165...

Where did you put in the heated seats cable?

Awesome video, but can you explain how you opened the compartment below the steering wheel, and also the hatch in the roof where you put the microphone? I haven't tried opening them yet but I'd just thought I'd ask so I don't end up destroying it in the process

Thanks so much for the video! Is there anyway to ensure that the climate control doesn't hang out of the slot like it is in the video? I have yet to see a video with this model that shows it being flush with the original trim

Can this work on BMW 128i

Hey how to you get to the Aux Cable i can't find the app or access point to play music from my Aux please help

Nice vid bub 👍🏽

Did you have problems getting the microphone to plug in? My plug only goes halfway in and it doesn’t tighten up. It’s like the connector isn’t deep enough

Fantastic video and perfectly timed since I'm installing mine this week :) (Bought it on Ebay). Any chance you can review the OBD2 accessory?

Like your videos. Please make a video installing subs and amp.

Bought the same exact stereo and did almost exactly the same install a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I had to return it, I don't know of it was my particular unit that I received that wasn't playing right or was the because I have a subwoofer installed tapped into the stock amp with a line in converter. I was get snow like feedback in the audio whenever the car was on, when it was off it played perfectly. So again I don't know what the problem was but I didn't have the patience, I also tried to hook up to the sub woofer outs that came with the stereo and it didn't work! If anyone knows what may have been the problem feel free to comment, I'm thinking I just got a defective one n might buy another...

Thanks for the install video! I used it to install a GA8165A. Does your car get an SOS error after installing this head unit? Mine beeps rapidly and displays an SOS error every time I start the car up.

Nice tutorial. I just installed mine this Saturday but am now getting a crackling sound from the speakers at high volume, Do you have any idea would it could be? Any suggestions help

Only one question, does the bottom part of the climate control unit stick out on the sides farther than it does in its original position. Every video has 2 things in common bad lighting and no side views.

Hi there, I have a factory fitted parking sensor. Does installing this stereo affect the parking sensor? thanks

Would this radio work on a E82 bmw 135i? Does anybody know ???

I see that your quadlock has the fiber optic , will it work without Most audio adapter for the fiber optic ? I am thinking on buying a Xtrons for my BMW 320D E90 '06 that has the BMW Professional 0663 when checked the vin so i believe this is not the Hifi sound system or the Logic 7 that needs the Most audio adapter , correct me if i am wrong , my quadlock does have the 8 speaker wires

Hey! I have not installed the backup camera yet, but the screen gets black and music stops when i put the car in reverse, is there any way to prevent this from happening?

Does the steering wheel volume buttons still work with it?

Thanks for the great video. Do you know how to make voice activated BT calls? Google Assistant doesn't work with the unit.

Hi, i noticed there s a protrusion at the bottom after the unit into E90. would u mind show a zoom in at that part? I would like to know how bad it can be / or may be its acceptable before I purchase the unit. Can u comment on it? Thanks.

I installed this into my 2008 bmw 328i convertible....but i have no sound on either bluetooth or radio. i don't know what to do! HELP!!!

By any chance do you know where I could get that wire hardness I have the old version eonon and it doesn't have aux

Hi, great video. I have an E90 with a business idrive and stereo. Do you know if I can change my stereo for this one and keep idrive functioning?

Name of the song in the intro?

How's it going, haven't seen any videos on the latest models so great video! I got the GA7150 all set up and what not for my 2003 325i.. do you know how to root Marshmallow 6.0.1?? It's seems like I need to trust unknown sources etc in order for kingo root to work but I can't seem to find those security options within the eonon settings in order to trust third party apk's.. or would you know if there's even a root for it yet?

Has anyone found a solution for the radio not keeping its settings like last station recall and same with bluetooth, it won't keep numbers i dialed.

will this work with my 2006 325i, and where can I purchase the ashtray mod for the seat warmers?great vid by the way

Hi. Very good your video was very useful. I have to ask you two questions to see if these problems happen to you. 1) joining the two cables that say antenna (+ ANT and ANT) does not receive any AM radio station. Loose, everything works fine. 2) the equipment does not turn off when I remove the key, I must manually turn it off. The red wire that comes out of the can-bus and reaches the ACC leg of the eonon is always with current (in high state 12v) even removing the key. Leaving it long time off the car and I open a door the equipment turns on without the last memorization of the radio stations and at very high volume. Of the stand of eonon even without solutions. Can the bus be damaged? Or is it firmware problem? And the yellow wire for about 20 minutes is out of power. Should I connect directly to the battery? Thank you for your contribution. Daniel

I have the same unit, it gives me a sos error and also turns on when i start the car which is causing a battery drain. Any idea why

Sorry JD another question. I assume you don't get the stock chime anymore. Would that apply to only the doors or all chimes such as warnings and such things? Have you ever heard of a chime retention adapter, I believe is made by Metra? It's name and model is AXXESS LC-BMRC-01. I ordered and received it but the Eonon has a plug that goes straight to the factory plug. This adapter is kind of the same thing. It has a plug to plug to factory harness but the other end is wires to connect to the stereo, basically for aftermarket head units that need to be wired in. Not sure how or if this would work with the Eonon.

Hi i saw the video just wanted to make sure; If i get this head unit i do not have to relocate the heated seat controls, i can just use the head unit for those correct?

Hello I would like to ask that when will be posted full review of Eonon GA7165? I am planning to buy one in upcoming weeks.Thanks

Hey bro I just installed the eonon unit in my Bmw but I am not getting any sound. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

amm, when friends call me they hear me very baad like if i am far away and with interference, but i hear them very clear. what can be?

I ended up getting a GA5165. The radio antenna looks a lil different. It has a small radio signal amp and a red ACC tap wire. Do I need to tap that red wire to keep preset settings and avoid batt drain? Thanks!

Does your radio still work? I got a GA9165B last week and the radio function stopped-everything else works works fine.

We have similar cars my is a 330xi but it is a E90 so this stereo should work but I don't get any sound out of my speakers I already contended the seller and waiting for a reason. I was just wondering if you know anything I could do or if you had a similar problem?

Can i use this device on my e90 even though i already have the idrive system?

Did you have trouble disconnecting the main harness from the previews Eonon unit?

I have 2010 my heated seat buttons are in different areas but I have a panel of buttons on the bottom one which of like the down hill assist ? Anyone else have that

hi mate would GA 7165 fit to my e90 320d lci facelift 2011..

Any idea if the Eonon unit is compatible with the Alpine retrofit sound upgrade? I'm currently using the sound system with the bmw professional radio unit, for which I just changed a few speakers. I didn't change anything connecting to the radio unit. And does the Eonon unit fit nice and tight? A friend of mine has one for his A3 and you can push it upwards slightly so it's not sitting in tight and snug (if you know what I mean). And lastly, do you notice a buzzing noise, probably relating to grounding? The A3 has this problem too. Sorry it's a lengthy comment lol

As with the other 7165 install on youtube I noticed you didn't secure the A/C control panel bracket as shown in the install manual. Have you had any issues with rattling when driving?

I recently subscribed to your channel after watching a few of your informative videos JD...Great Videos! I have a question regarding the Ashtray for your E90. I viewed your latest video of your Eonon GA7165 Review and caught that you would no longer need to install the Ashtray for the Seat Warmer Controller, but if you wanted the controls available you needed the replacement Ashtray with the cut out for the controls, as I saw you still had. My question---How do you go about installing the replacement Ashtray? Do you have a video from your channel that demonstrates that installation or can you recommend a video that shows that installation. While the latest Eonon GA7165 includes the capacity for controlling the seat warmers, I'd really like the look of yours including the controls and would wish to complete mine the same way. Thanks in advance for any advise or info you can provide and keep up the great work on the videos!

Question is probably stupid but i was wondering if the mods you do to your 328i would work on the 335i, the cosmetic and and the interior mods.

Friend many thanks for all the help with your videos. I have two questions 1) Do you have the bass underneath the driver's seat and copilot? Are they still working if I put this radio? 2) Does the sound quality improve or deteriorate from the original radio?

Just noticed, since I installed my ga7165, my righthand door speaker isn't playing. Have anyone experienced this? Perhaps i have not plugged in the cables correctly?

Will steering wheel buttoms like volume work whit this?

What was your original system that you had? Hi-Fi or Logic 7? I know I have read about people have nightmares putting a new deck in with the Logic 7. Thanks

hey jd,i have bmw 328i 2008 sedan a/t i don't know if this is Logic 7 system or Fiber Optic input. how to determined if my car has logic 7 or a fiber optic input?thnks

Hey man I just can across this video and had a question. I have a 06 335i with the hifi upgrade I also have navigation and it’s laggy I wanna update and I’m also having a amp issue I took out my deck and noticed that their are a lot more wires and a fiber optic connection and a fan mounted on the back would this stereo work for me ? I would also like to keep the navigation working as well instead of a black screen on my dash, any advice I’ll appreciate . I subbed btw good diy vid!

After installing the same Ga7165...the canbus start beeping when the car key is on, turn on the car and the bip, bip sound is gone, turn off the car...the bi, bip sound is back until release the key......any idea what I did wrong? thanks 2009 Bmw 328i Sedan Base

Do u need to disconnect the battery

Could I buy this and use it with my idrive I already have, I would like to monitor my engine like a built in tablet

Do i need some sort of data plan to use Google Maps?

is the same brand available 4 w211 e class?

awesome video. is this available for e82?

when you installed it did you have problems with your mic working correctly? did you disconect the original mic from the top center council and did you get a SOS error message

Do I have to relocate my heated seat? Or can I access that with the head unit?
