E39 7" touch screen headunit

iv been waiting around 24 months for something like this to come out i wanted something that looked a 100% oem looks + lighting but that also kicked the e39 into the 21st century the in dash screen completes the e39 and iv wanted one since i bought it

so when this was released last last month i nearly had a heart attack within 5 days it was conpletely sold out so iv been sitting around queitly for a full month waiting on new stock finally this week stock came back in but once again stock was gone in days i got my order in though and it will be here in a week

it matchs the oem 100% with the exception it has a bigger screen dvd slot and two sd slots the buttons dials lighting are a perfect match

it has no android but i didnt want an android unit i wanted something that looked original obviously ,has bluetooth ,ipod,aux,usb, dvd and sat nav this has it all and more after been in touch with members of bmw5.co.uk who purchased it and getting feedback i jumped on it so here it is

its half the price of a dynavin and its called the eonon d5124fe it comes with a 1 or 2 yr warrenty depending were you buy to dvbt its 80e that includes a box to record tv programs :)

to say im excited about getting my hands on it would be an understatement iv waited a long time for one il be the guinea pig on this one and put up a full review once fitted

Mine was 300e delivered that included maps for the whole of europe

2nd pic for comparison http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/03/a5u7e7e9.jpg

So as of today Iv had mine now around 2 months and so far its been flawless

The touchscreen is very responsive as are all the buttons and knobs

The amber lighting is a perfect colour match and the screen auto dims when the headlights are turned on

My phone auto connects when I enter the car it streams music perfect phone call quality through the bluetooth is very good even without an external mic

Steering wheel controls work perfect for the phone and headunit control

Ipod, usb and aux work perfect cds are a tad slow to load

Gps is excellent very fast and responsive never lags and gives good directions also contains a vast amount of info including set speed trap locations

Soundwise a small improvement but nothing to write home about

The radio works perfect and picks up a heap of stations

User interface layout of screens is very neat and tidy no big bold chinease bright colours you would normally see

Digital tv and reverse camera can be added very cheaply cameras about 20e tvs about 80e

Overall id rate it as excellent value for money and I hope it lasts for a long time as it really does look excellent in the dash

One gone up on donedeal for sale 200e bargain if it all checks out

Approach with caution though could be a dodgy one make sure you test everything before you buy

Any Pics of it installed Gar. I'd love to have a look at it.

Plenty here alan its the original thread I posted on it ,I can meet up some evening if you want a look at it in person

Well Gar now that some time has past by. How is this unit going for you. Looks very tasty compared to an old single din unit. As soon I as get a few mechanical jobs looked after a new wireless will be top of my list.

Still working 110% I love it :cool:

Had an issue with it not reading a dvd once thats pretty much ity radio reception is so much better too it used to get bad when I turned on the angel eyes or rear window demister but not an issue now :)

Many thanks Gar.

Keep getting pms about this so hopefully this answers them I tried night shots but they come out crap on my phone ,also learned from sbv that movies can be watched on the sd cards

Gar. Mine won't save the time on the clock.
Did your unit ever have this problem ?

Have you gps time sync de-activated im pretty sure thats what I did to get my clock to stay at the time I wanted its been perfect since then Iirc I had the same issue when I first bought it

What file did you use to play movies from the sd slot I can play them using the usb but not sd I do leave music videos running on the screen when listening to the songs would like to have them on the micro card

This is the file name.
It's an "avi" file according to this.

Still working away fine Gar? Looking at picking up one of these for my E39 as the pixilated head unit is wrecking my head :sad:

Is it hard to install or is it plug and play?

Happy to report still as good as the day i bought it fitting is plug and play very straightforward fixing brackets are a bit rubbish take a bit of fiddling to get it sitting perfect but it will take 30 minutes tops to fit

Did you remove the radio cage without removing the lower dash, Gar?

Same here, couldn't find any other way of doing it. I reckon first time taking the dash out, fitting the eonan and refitting the dash is gonna be about an hour and a half.

Yeh your right i was literally just talking about popping the headunit in its literally just connect the harness line up the worst set of brackets iv ever come across and route the gps cable

One thing that seriously slowed me down years ago was the release mechanism failing on the iris one piece headunit [emoji20] took me hours to get that out flat head screwdrivers a hammer pliers and a lot swearing it finally came out a thief would have gave up long ago not worth it for a tape deck

@norman this is who i bought off but its gone up £70 http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Finding-Road/BMW-/_i.html?_fsub=4385576011&_sid=1020038971&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322

Id just order direct from eonon you will get the best price and its coming from the same place anyways i paid £239
