Eonon GA7165 Unbox & Install // BMW E90

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
  • Today I bring you the first video on TH-cam about the newly released Eonon GA7165 stereo. Eonon has replaced the GA6165 with this new GA7165. In this video I unbox and install the stereo in my BMW E90. The installation process is identical to the GA6165, but I go into more depth and detail in this video compared to my previous installation video. After I get the stereo all set up and I have a bit of time to use it I will post a full review of the stereo. Immediately after using it for less than a day now I can tell you the GA7165 is remarkably better than the GA6165.
    ◆ NEW Apple CarPlay Touchscreen Kit (BMW E90) -- amzn.to/3cNBQFP
    I purchased my stereo through the Eonon seller on Amazon. It came in just two days!
    Happy to answer any of your questions in the comments below!

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

  • @fabvideos592
    @fabvideos592 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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

    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

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I too use spotify for my music, but I've never had the app crash. As far as it going to radio every time...that doesn't happen to me either. I would suggest quitting the radio app from the background (along with any other apps you aren't using).

      And finally , my microphone doesn't Work

    • @drewrowell9399
      @drewrowell9399 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      so frustrating! it needs to be pn the right mode to play out of all speakers and no matter what i do starts with static on radio everytime!
      please do let me know, would highly appreciate that!

    • @JDCarsChannel

    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?

  • @JohnDoe-gs6qc

  • @antikoit444
    @antikoit444 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    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?

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

  • @potatopumpXChorizoX
    @potatopumpXChorizoX 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I apologize, but I've never encountered a beeping from my stereo. Potentially factory reset the stereo?

    • @potatopumpXChorizoX
      @potatopumpXChorizoX 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      JD Cars, I have no idea why I didn’t think to try that. I’ll update you if it’s successful, thanks for taking the time to reply.

    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

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I didn’t have fiber optic- you’ll need an adapter if you’ve got fiber optic

  • @DordiHOTS
    @DordiHOTS 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you have any trouble with fuses blowing out on you?
    I went with Avin because Xtrons and Eonon seem to be shitty chinese products that are not compatible with the cars intricate system. They also seem to be made from the same manufacturer. Removing the connector was a pain in the ass and my xtrons unit just blew out my #14 (10 amp) fuse.

    • @JDCarsChannel

      I have yet to blow a fuse with either of my Eonon stereos

      Hi, i have issues with AUX in cable not working, used to work with original BMW stereo. i have completed uninstalled and reinstalled ensuring all the cables are correctly connected, but when i click on AUX app, i get no sound through, just a blank screen showing no video input. Eonon are not sure why? have you had this issue before?

      I did not encounter that issue. That's strange.

  • @designconceptsforu
    @designconceptsforu 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It doesn’t stick out if you trim properly

  • @Rammstone86
    @Rammstone86 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The compartment below the steering wheel was a few torx screws, and the roof part is two clips... use a plastic pry tool and pry in front of each little light.

  • @scanspeak00
    @scanspeak00 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I notice you didn't install the bottom 2 screws that hold the metal frame (behind the HVAC) into the dashboard as per the installation guide.
    Any reason for that?

    • @JDCarsChannel

      Huh...I never knew two screws belonged there. I didn't get any other screws other than the two upper screws.

    • @scanspeak00
      @scanspeak00 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Same here. Also the Dynavin doesnt use the lower 2 screws so maybe they aren't really necessary.

  • @MyzeOnline
    @MyzeOnline 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No idea if it's compatible with the Alpine retrofit sound upgrade...sorry.
      It fits very snuggly.
      I don't have any buzzing noise issues.
      Good questions! Thanks for watching!

    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!

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have not needed that wire...but it is up to you.

    • @erenix3909

      Yeah, I ended up not connecting the amp to the blue/ant wire, and it works fine.

  • @glinx1
    @glinx1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm honestly not sure either...only one way to find out!

    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!

  • @xYoungSimba
    @xYoungSimba 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    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...

    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?

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh there is without a doubt a root for it...you just need to figure out how to allow unknown sources. Try scrolling down when the system alerts you it is an unknown source and check off/agree to whatever is necessary. Good luck!

    • @JDCarsChannel

      This protrusion is minimal and can be eliminated by further trimming the unit.

    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

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Luigi Left That beeping is to remind you to take your key and not forget it in the car. However it should only beep when the drivers door is open.

    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.

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are TONS of negative posts of Eonon's previous version (GA6165), but this new GA7165 is a TREMENDOUS improvement. They improved storage and more importantly RAM. The GA7165 is an excellent choice in my opinion.

    Do you know how to turn down the Bluetooth calling volume? When I get a phone call, it doesn't matter what volume my car stereo is on, it'll stop the music and ring at the loudest possible volume which scares the crap out of me every time lol.

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jeez! Maybe on the phone itself? Turn down your ringer?

    • @OceaniPhonerepairSanFrancisco
      @OceaniPhonerepairSanFrancisco 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      JD Cars finally figured it out. The navigation volume on the unit is the same as the Bluetooth ringtone volume so I lowered it to mid and it's better now.

    • @Vidati
      @Vidati 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I know this is like 6 month old comment but still.
      the reason for the radio not remembering the stations and numbers is because it needs to be connected to the battery or fuse box. i you go with the fuse box, you need to find the one that doesn't loos power after 20min (standard on BMW).

    @robinpokorny3883 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    • @JDCarsChannel
      @JDCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Robin Pokorný Wow that's interesting that unplugging the blue ANT wire improves signal, I'll have to try it!
      Yeah it's a shame the radio memory doesn't last longer...maybe eonon can improve this in the future.
      Thanks for watching!

    • @ellinakak6031
      @ellinakak6031 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes it does. The sound will change when you are backing up and you won't hear the last eternal "beep" at the end when you are about to hit an obstacle. You will just hear it as a recurrent beeping sound. Also, when you are backing up, the music for some reason will stop completely.

  • @danielspeltini
    @danielspeltini 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    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 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!

      I have yet to film or upload a video about the installation, but it is on the list. I will probably film that video and edit it this weekend. The replacement is pretty straight forward, it requires the removal of 4 screws and the transferring of the 12v and seat warmer buttons.
