Rebel Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 So I see there's new and improved version of the infamous Chinese Eonon headunit on sale, d5150e. Interesting to note that it now comes with android 4.0, a beefier processor and RAM and NFC for bluetooth pairing amongst other things. Looking through the forums it's the usual hit & miss affair but apparently the general consensus is that its much improved and fairly slick. Also readily available at £249 on ebay... sive s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Apologies chaps, my bad, they are WinCE. I was looking through a number of items and obviously confused myself in the process. It was the ICE Box Auto product that has the droid OS (UK firm). By all accounts the 5150 although not perfect isn't at all bad, especially at that price. RobeVan5, who did you buy yours from and how much was the duty/UK VAT on it? Any glitches? sive s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=990340 Not read it, but a decent length thread on it there. I can't find the specs (or any listings for) the new version, just an old one with a 500Mhz CPU (I assume that's not an upgrade anyway!) sive s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sive s Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I had the old one, it was alright, it had some issues. It was not bad ones , so it was liveable with it. Might check these n ew ones out, as i might get another one. Have you sent them a message REbel, as they get back to you quickly. Need to save up for one of these.

Adrianc333 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I've just being watching some videos of the new version on YouTube. It looks pretty decent. For the price I might get one. Does anyone know what the import fees are like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I'm not liking the Eonon branding on the screen to be honest. Cheapens it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3NXN Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Fees vary massively mate, I paid more duty on some badges than I did for my original unit. Luck of the draw I think. I cant even remember how much I paid but I've seen it range from £8 to just shy of £70 on various forum posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks mate. Couple/3 more Qs Which ebay buyer did you use? Do all functions e.g. canbus/steering control work properly? How much does the button illumination differ from oem? (I understand it's more red than orange) Any installation issues/points to note? At an estimated total of £329 it doesn't sound bad, providing it works as it should... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robevan5 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Im not sure which buyer, yes the steering wheel controls work fine, lightss look a tiny bit more red but nothing that annoys me (and im quite anal with cars haha) instalation was pretty easy. Ill take some pics Screen can be hard to see on a sunny day, thats my only complaint tbh, i have my music on a 8gb SD card in the bottom left slot Rebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
