Reviewer: Christopher from USA This unit is awesome! Every Passat owner should install one. I was nervous about installing it myself, but it only took me 15 minutes ( Ive never done anything like this before). It is built to plug directly into the factory plug requires no fiddling with wires.The unit looks like it came factory installed. You would never know it was an add-on. I was even able to put the VW logo on the screen.
I didnt buy the map, which is extra, but I hope to soon. The bluetooth phone is great (especially with a manual) -- the bluetooth radio makes it even better. It comes with an iPod connector, but you dont need it if you have a smart phone.The DVD player is cool too. Everyone is really impressed when I show them that feature.
The only drawback to the unit is the 30 seconds it takes to load when you turn on the car. It also comes with a camera hookup that automatically comes on when in reverse, which is great except I dont have a camera -- Im not sure how to turn that feature off (it just shows a blue screen).Eventually I plan on buying the GPS card, two headrest monitors (broadcast what is playing on the DVD player) a rear camera.This unit is definitely worth the price. Id recommend it to all Passat owners.

I love you EononReviewer: George Popa from Australia As time is flying away, Eonon gets bigger and bigger, let's say than you Eonon for all things that u improved and you will.
I have never seen such a great company and great customer service for users that they purchased any unit, even only for a GPS module.
Technology grows and gets better, Eonon does the same. Respect to all team, and I love the way you going and looking for more from you guys!
It comes a time when they upgrade unit, is my time to upgrade along with them.
I am really sorry to betray my beloved unit G2203A, but I found someone special as in G2216 and can't wait to help everyone with my movies, tutorials, and pictures with the new unit installed on my Subaru Impreza ;-)

What I spend more if I did it again? No I'd buy Eonon again.
It is a bit buggy, mainly on the advanced features like Bluetooth streaming and the GUI is clunky to use at times but...
I really wanted factory fit and OEM so no one steals it (less likely - touching wood) - more important in double din units as you don't get removable face things. It comes can-bus compatible so you don't have the fanny about with adapters and face plates that never fit right.
Is it perfect? No but it fits my core requirements great:Bluetooth hands free calls from phone - tick
Built-in sat nav on rare occasion needed without wires - tick
Amplifier pre-outs for sub - tick
Better sound than stock radio - tick
Lots of mp3 music on iPhone or USB device getting rid of lots of CDs in the car - tick
Keep steering wheel controls out of box - tick
Not stupidly expensive - tick
Bonuses: reverse camera, DVD player, and possibility of digital TV.

The sygic satnav software it comes with isn't as good as my tomtom, am hoping in time to get another micro-SD card and get iGo on there to see if is any better ... I have heard it is...
Bluetooth works great with my iPhone4... Can answer easy from the Eonon screen, and if I want to call someone press and hold the iPhone's menu button for voice control and the Eonon picks up my command perfectly
The Eonon's iPod function has a slight issue, it often rejects the iPod and restarts it, but it's a very small niggle (does on mine, and have heard a few others say this too)... The AUX and USB I hear work fine... You can stream music over bluetooth too I believe...
My radio signal is now not great, but a booster can rectify this to near CD30 mp3 standard I believe...
CD wokrs great, have yet to try the virtual CD and DVD function yet...
Fully operation from the steering wheel controls, and newer Eonon's also talk to the BID and display some information, so it is a very impressive near OEM headunit for the money!
Wouldn't be without mine now :)

Reviewer: flat from Canada Checkout the Eonon D5101, Upgraded mine and its awesome value for the price.. Has GPS/DVD/DIVX/bluetooth audio/usb/dvd mp3 playback/a million aux inputs ect... worth the money.
Since wiring up the unit properly (canbus was turning it off at first), I haven't had a single drama with it, even pulled the thing apart to see whats inside and honestly its fairly decent quality for the price.
Sound quality is quite good and better than the stock unit, with bluetooth audio you get a little interference sound at high volume but no issues with CD or usb
I loaded iGO Primo maps onto it and the unit literally rocks, better than a $1200 pioneer and has more features

thank youReviewer: Unitedblood from UK would like to say a massive thank you to the legend that is Mike for this link:http://www.nimraynn.net/other/eonon-install-guide, and a few other posts he has either written or commented on, fitted my eonon today all on my ownand when i say all on my own!
i really mean, me and ipad open to above link, took about 30 mins to fit, i know it'll have to come out again when i get my reversing camera fitted, and my sub and amp but for now it looks like this.
have sort of set everything up now, took about an hour, cant seem to turn off reversing screen ATM still goes blank when i put car into reverse, but i can deal with that.
sound is a massive improvement, bluetooth works a treat, yet to connect USB or ipod but really i dont care to much about them for now.
thanks to Eonon for a great piece of kit and thankyou again to nimraynn for everything else

Reviewer: Zaheer Sethi from Canada Hi I have used this website for the first time place an order I shall say the service was extraordinary communication was up to date fast shipping on top of every thing just made it perfect now using this dvd player in my car very nice picture sound.What makes me satisfy the most is Eonon.com is backing up their product with two years warranty which shows that how good is this product.

Reviewer: David Newton from UK I have this unit fitted to my 2008 astra have to say that it is a great stereo, you couldn`t ask for a car stereo to do much more to be honest. it works well with my iphone 4 on both the cable the bluetooth.one of my concerns was whether i would be able to use the BID display or edit the info on it, but with a combination of steering wheel controls one of the setup screens you can access everything you could with the stard unit.The satnav works well although sometimes can be a little jurky, but that is rare doesn`t affect the operation in any way, plus you can always install your own choice of satnav software if you want to.DVDs play well the picture quality is good, you can also play movies via the USB which is hy.overall i would recommend to all Astra onwers, its a great upgrade.

Reviewer: Lewis Cianci from Australia So I got my D5102 installed. Things in life are never this easy. I had to move a pin from pin 12 to 13 on the EONON harness (which was pretty easy), then cut the blue wire that was now wired to pin 13, and then solder the amplifier signal wire onto the pin 13. The ONLY REASON i had to do this was to get my BOSE amp working. Considering a local car audio place would have charged me $800 just to ...REMOVE the old head unit, $400 is a really good price for the unit! Movies sound amazing in the 4.1, and the sound quality is slightly better than the stock unit. I really didnt think this would be that great, I'd had units from HK before and they were messy. But this unit is AS GOOD in design and functionality as any of its more significantly more pricier counterparts (well, apart from some japanese mistranslations in parts). Recommend it as a buy!

Reviewer: Sneaky from Australia Just bit the bullet on Eonon D5105, I thought at that price what the hell, it's worth a punt, the seller has good communication..
Did the update for BT Audio tonight, all good, works well. The D5105 is proving to be the pick of all these Chinese units, a very feature packed audio option for the LS XR5 for easy and cheap. The menu system looks and works surprisingly well and for me the phone bluetooth is worth the cost alone. Now that we have steering control it's a win, surprisingly also love the USB port on the front, 16gb micro usb flash works exceptionally well for music and video as an alternative to the ipod. The customer support from Eonon is also good, 2 year warranty on the product.Only a few things I'd change, don't know if it is possible and that would be changing button backlight from orange to green, the colour of the fascia is a little different to the dash colour, otherwise it's great value for the money. Focus specific rear camera can be had for around $25 including postage, one is on the way.
Thought I would post a couple of pics of the Eonon D5105 in my car, I found a decent and easy location to install the GPS antenna, works like a charm, plenty of space to bundle together and tuck away the remaining GPS antenna lead, just need some strong 3M dual lock Velcro. Found a great little 16gb Verbatim USB Flash drive for storing music, it is tiny so no chance of bumping and breaking it, and importantly no flashing LED to annoy the crap out of me.
It really is a bargain for what you get, everything works out of the box and unlike some of the other Chinese units these ones are very well supported by Eonons customer services (with 2 year warranty), in fact probably better support than what the big name players offer TBH, very prompt with replies to technical queries etc. Only downsides are colour match on fascia is not the best and the orange backlight for the buttons can't be changed to green.The amp is rated 4x65w, what rms it is in reality, not sure, but it certainly seems to play louder than the LS (green head unit). The radio tuner is possibly not quite as good as the original units, I've given the stubby antenna the flick and back to the original antenna and no problems with radio reception at all, in fact much better than the useless stubby on the original anyway. I've also got Digital TV working with the optional (external) tuner, works well but not whilst moving, would require a better quality Digital tuner. Still yet to install reverse cam.

Reviewer: Eric Donker from US Got the headunit in record time. installing it was easy although it does not quite fit in a renault megane Coupe ph1. Got it working within minutes. I am loving the screen, all the features that it has. Connecting a HTC smartphone was no problem as well. Songs can be played via bluetooth ( lower quality)or with the usb cable.( higher quality ) only the nav is a little bit slow in starting up calulating routes. But that is not a big problem. Gonna buy another one for our family car. only in 2din.

Reviewer: devis smitjes from Netherland D1306 arrived with DHL just after three days! Quite simple to install in your vehicle, only your inboard car display may not show all its functions. The aftermarket can provide a so-called Stalk adapter to overcome this (minor) problem. The DVD player may not start up if you do not connect the number 18 brake control wire to the negative pole; Please read the instruction manual, particularly the reset bit. After pressing the RESET button the D1306 started up just fine. Great functionality, easy menu’s, fantastic blue lightning that matched my converted car’s interior light perfectly. Just to be short: a great buy directly from Eonon.com.The Goblin
