Been down a week long rabbit hole looking for a decent android auto head unit. This is by far and away the best value deal i've been able to find.

Some features:

  • Newest Qualcomm 6225 chip (Not a UIS/FYT platform like many other cheap China sourced units)
  • QLED Display (which is better than IPS for visibility)
  • 6gb of ram
  • 64gb of storage
  • volume knob
  • USB C port on the fascia
  • Android 13 (many out there are still on 10)

You can also bundle a bunch of accessories like cameras and OBD2 scanners. Even better value doing this.

For context:
RRP of $449
Eonon website currently selling for $339 with just the camera and a charger

I these Chinese headunits have had mixed reviews (Eonon is one of the better known ones who specifically cater to AU market but even they have a patchy history) but the value and configurability vs big brands is the reason you choose these.

There are other models available on their eBay store if youre looking for bigger screens. If youre looking for a comparison, the eonon website has a great table of all their models on their product pages.

    Excellent research. High end features at very reasonable cost. Thank you for Sharing.

    Howe is the reliability, build quality of these units and how about software updates?

    @StrangeDisposition
    Why do you specifically mentioned that they cater for AU market. Just wondering if they were not suitable for the US market? Just

    • StrangeDisposition on 28/07/2025 - 17:27

      They specifically call out rhe AU market so i hope their service for AU is better than others who dont. Complete speculation though

        I would argue that for the product to be considered designed for AU market would mean the volume knob is on the right side, closest to the driver.

      I'm still running an old GA2165 since 2018.

      Don't think it ever got any system updates in that time but as far as reliability it's never missed a beat. Slow as all hell though, I'm considering the upgrade to this one.

      I have bad experience with Eonon. Headunit was about four years old when I tried a firmware update for the first time when unit got slow and glitchy (even for basic functions like using Google maps and Spotify), and just couldn’t do it. Communication with Eonon (presumably based in China) was extremely difficult and hard to follow.

      No confidence that these firmware issue are solved so no more Eonon for me.

    • skillet on 29/07/2025 - 02:45

      What is the boot time for this unit? I don't want to wait one minute or more to connect carplay everytime I start my car.

      What is the current draw when car engine is turned off?

      • thekow on 29/07/2025 - 16:40

        Most of these headunits all use the same base firmware so you can use either shutdown mode or sleep mode.
        Depending on the unit you are looking about 150ma roughly?
        Boot time is about 20-30 seconds.

        • skillet on 30/07/2025 - 10:21

          That's good to know, thank you very much. I'm especially concerned about the boot time. 20-30 seconds is good I wait for the oil pressure to build up before I go.

          FYI most cars standby current is under 60mA with luxury cars tipping 85mA from the factory.
          I've been collecting some data some Android units go up to 180mA.

          If my AI chatGPT chat skills is okay I am guessing I will be able to park the car for 1-2 weeks before the battery is too weak to start the car…

          Sometimes due to lack of testing, the parts of the OS can go crazy and get out of sleep mode, then you will have a flat battery in no time. For people who is looking to install 3rd party Android headunits I suggest getting a low voltage cut off to prevent such things from happening.

          • thekow on 30/07/2025 - 17:19

            @skillet: The issue with the Chinese units is they use zlink as the AA/CP interface and the bluetooth antennas are usually just dupont sized wires sticking out the back of the unit so sometimes it takes ages to connect, the bluetooth implementations seem to be hacked in / they disable OSB linking so you buy their ones. But you can hack that easy enough. It all depends on what android the seller has installed and zlink version if you get a good AA experience.

            So if you keep the headunit on, the bluetooth connections seem to get worse as time goes on. But for under $200 what can you expect. I bought one and already have to replace the cables 2x because the seller forgot the first batch and the second batch was for a different unit lol. I could put the multimeter across mine to tell you exactly but most chinese units hand between 120-150ma in sleep mode. Because of that i set it to shut down after 5 mins of car off. I don't mind waiting the 20-30 seconds for the boot. I didn't install the rear cam just because i am lazy and it would be not great waiting for 30 seconds until your unit is up for the cam to show up :D

            But i wouldnt want to have the car off for 3 days it will kill the battery faster the unit will shut off when the battery gets under 12v i think usually.

      • bamzero on 05/08/2025 - 13:13

        FWIW, I fired it up with my bench supply and in sleep mode power draw is negligible (as in doesn't even register any current draw on the display to 2 decimal places.) Roughly 700ma when on and idle.

          The Q part is screen technology, quantum dots that increase brightness and colour. ie makes the screen easier to read in bright conditions like daylight driving.
          Only the LED part is in reference to the backlight technology.

          The entire name, I'm pretty certain, is just genius marketing specifically designed to confuse people initially looking for OLED technology in TVs. (Either "Q comes after O so, it must be better!" or simply "why does that OLED have a weird little stroke in the bottom corner of the O?")

        I bought an older BL Mazda 3 for a second car rather than a BM or BL precisely so I could put in an aftermarket double din wireless CarPlay unit.
        They are also very reliable, so the decision was easy.

          Would you mind sharing the make and model of the after market unit and approximate cost

          • entropysbane on 29/07/2025 - 11:42

            @utsc: Well,,a bit of a digression for this thread, but this was a couple of years ago now and I got it on sale about 30% off, but was about $600. I got a kenwood, but there are heaps of brands about. I also got a dash cam and reverse cam at the same time, and the applicable aerpro dash moulding and wiring.

            If you want brands, choose kenwood, pioneer and Sony. alpine seems too expensive to me. The kenwood equivalent to mine for sale today would be DDX9020DABS

            as an aside, I will never self install something like this ever again.

        What car is it? Most classic cars don't even have DIN sized head units, let alone double DIN. DIN didn't become a standard until 1984, and double DIN appeared later than that.

                  @MrZ: @MrZ your argument about single vs double DIN for classics holds no water. Different cars take different sizes for aesthetics.

                  I have a BMW E31 840Ci, 1994 (single DIN)
                  I also have a Toyota Sera, 1990 (double DIN)
                  I had a Honda S2000, 1999 (single DIN)

  • Spendmore on 28/07/2025 - 17:20

    The newer processor means nothing it's the ram that is important and 6GB would be my starting point.
    Unless you just run AA or carplay then the lower spec units would suffice but even then 4GB ram would be the minimum.

    • StrangeDisposition on 28/07/2025 - 17:32
      +5

      Not an expert but from what i can tell newer processors tend to be paired with better quality DSP and bluetooth chips.

      • Spendmore on 28/07/2025 - 17:38

        Yeah this DSP looks good but you find the more Ram a unit has the higher the spec levels overall. I dont see many below BT 5.0 now either. So RAM and DSP are the 2 main things to look for, storage isnt an issue as they can take USB but this generally increases in size as you spec up also. If you want 360 degree cameras make sure to get a compatible model as these require a chip on the board apparently and cant be added to any head unit.

      just run AA or carplay … then 4GB ram would be the minimum.

      For just AA/Carplay, you only need 1GB, as those units don't use Android, which has become horribly bloated.

      • Spendmore on 28/07/2025 - 20:39

        Yeah but AA/CP runs via an app which needs to load on top of the home app so you can get lag and have to wait for it to link up. I find 4GB is sufficient for single apps to run ok with minimal lag.

        • bargaino on 28/07/2025 - 21:46

          You misunderstand. The basic AA/CP do not use android at all. Just a minimal Linux system, I assume.

            @bargaino: No I do understand, this head unit uses android, it runs an app such as zlink to connect the phone, the app basically emulates an android auto head unit. It is not like a clarion or alpine AA head unit which works like tou said.

    • AlmightyGaz on 29/07/2025 - 05:59

      Can't compare the two but I have a TEYES CC3 2K and I have mixed feelings about it. The reversing camera they sell with the Sony reversing camera is amazing quality and nearly every person that gets in the car asks about the system because of it. GPS, maps and music are amazing on it and work well. The performance is fine, doesn't seem to lag or anything (i have a 6GB model),

      The one single massive thing that destroys the experience and lets everything else down is the voice controls or basically complete lack of them. There's no google voice, the only option is their stupid T'eyes voice which is absolutely useless, it crashes constantly and it never recognizes anything i say even when it doesn't crash.

      • Pigey on 29/07/2025 - 10:08

    I bought Eonon X20PLUS 10.1 Inch from Amazon back in 2023 - not the same model but I thought I'd share some insight on the brand. Make of it what you will.

    PRO:

    -Looks really good for the price.

    CONS:

    • Audio quality is terrible, even after replacing my stock with Sony XS-XB1641 car speakers, the audio quality is still quite shabby, and most notably CRACKS when you play any song with bass.

    • Brightness and volume setting resets intermittently - sometimes when you start your car, you will be greeted with super loud music even if you never set it to be that loud to begin with. Also if you start your car during daytime, the display brightness might return to default, which is not bright enough, so you will have to adjust both.

    • Reverse camera works, however the display comes with multiple faint moving white lines, which is a bit annoying to see, but not the worst.

    • LED lights on the side buttons bleed into the screen - meaning if you turn your screen display off at night, the LED button lights will stay on and the light is visible on the left part of the screen.

    • You will have to adjust the clock frequently - every 1 month or so, the time will be ~4 minutes ahead.

    My verdict is that, this unit is great if you have an older beater and just want a fancier upgrade with minimum cost. However on a decent car (~$15k above) I would invest on a better known brand head unit.

    • Naigrabzo on 29/07/2025 - 09:09

      Volume resetting would be a deal breaker TBH. That sounds like a recipe to ruin your existing speakers fast.

      • OneDollarDucky on 29/07/2025 - 11:52

        Yep not only volume, but the equaliser would also reset to default sometimes, so it is quite a bit of a pain in the bum.

    Paying extra just for the Qualcomm chip in these head units is overpriced IMO. Go for higher ram. I've been using a 9 inch Aliexpress QLED 8GB ram head unit for over a year now (yes, polarized glassed work perfectly fine with my screen). The 8GB ram makes a huge difference. Scrolling and panning around on Google Maps and Waze is buttery smooth, along with running two apps split screen side by side.

      • SeanConnery on 28/07/2025 - 21:24

        There's like a dozen different brands (Navifly, Carlaeoer, Yiyuan, Ekiy, ESSGOO, Ruacheng, etc) all selling basically the same OEM head units on Aliexpress, some brands with custom or slightly tweaked OS. If they don't list the CPU as Qualcomm, just assume its a generic entry level CPU from whatever unknown manufacturer, in that case, look for the ones that are marketed as 720p or 1080p resolution QLED screen (the screen is surprisingly good, can be seen in bright sunlight, its even better than the screen on my Alldocube Iplay 50 Mini Pro tablet.) These QLED models usually come with the newer gen CPU and DSP. It turned the muffled average-sounding speakers of my Honda Jazz into something that almost sounded Dolby Atmos-like. It really works. If your dashboard, has the space for and it doesn't block the aircon vents, go for these newer 13.1 inch and 11.5 inch models.

    Honestly save yourself the time and dont bother. Call quality will be terrible, the music quality will be poor, volume limits will be all over the place, there will be numerous other issues.

    Do a quick search for the brand and bad call quality and you will instantly find loads of people with the same issues… muffled, underwater sounding calls with a recommendation to buy external microphones and even with them it's all absolute trash.

    Had Eonon for my Mazda 3 a while ago (No longer own the car), was one of those "plug and play" and made to fit versions. Can't remember the model, tho.

    Pros: Worked quite well in terms of Bluetooth, and the audio was not bad. I got it installed with a 3rd party subwoofer at the time, and it worked well with the sub too.

    Cons:
    - From memory, I got this head unit for its CarPlay capability, but it never worked (Cable and Bluetooth both). It could mirror my phone and charge it, but it just wouldn't connect for CarPlay.
    - Was quite slow, especially if you use 3rd party apps. As it's an Android unit and CarPlay didn't work for me, I thought I'd just download Google Maps so I could have a similar experience, but it just did not want to work, super slow.
    - Never reached out to them because it was good enough via bluetooth, so no experience in that regard

    Additional note with my experiences of Android head unit vs name brands.
    - Basically, you're paying the name brands for reliability. My partner recently got a Kenwood unit installed into her old Toyota, and it works super amazingly, snappy and responsive, wireless CarPlay with 0 delay or stuttering. My current Andrior head unit (No idea what brand or model it is) for my Honda Accord, in contrast, has poor Bluetooth and thus wireless CarPlay experience, and only works well via cable connection. I'd say we both ended up paying around the same amount of money for the unit + installation, which was around 700 - 800 bucks at the time.

    TLDR, Name brands = generally better reliability and a more stable experience at the cost of MONEY, Android head units can be slow and connection can be choppy, compensate with a wired connection and it'll work well!

      Agreed. With wireless carplay/AA, it is a deal breaker if it's flaky and disconnects constantly.

    In this price range, from personal experience of installing several head units for friends and family, I find EONON and ATOTO make the best head units. If you only need AA or CP, then there are non-Android models (linux based) that I find are more snappier than their Android based ones. Their ebay stores regularly have good deals, especially when combined with % off codes or listings that allow you to submit offers

    • Tonetoro on 29/07/2025 - 21:20

      which brands/models to look at for non-android models? As in EONON and ATOTO have non-android models?

      • ccrap on 01/08/2025 - 13:49

        Yup those 2

    From my past experience with EONON, They make OK stereo's, nothing to call home about. The rated output isn't their claimed 22wrms or 25wrms, it's only around 15wrms. The audio chip in these is terrible. sound quality isn't great. You can get a much better Name brand unit with the same features for a little bit more. I tested one of these then plugged in a kenwood and the sound was almost twice as loud and much better sound range. The call quality on these is poor.
    For around $400-500 you can get a Kenwood, Sony or Pioneer with wireless carplay/AA that will run a lot smoother. Only reason to get Android is if you plan to install apps and games to use in the car.

    Sorry folks, do you normally take it to the auto sparkies to get them fitted? Or you DIY them? Wonder how much additional cost are we expecting.

      I got an auto sparky from gumtree to install the whole thing, including the reverse camera. Costed me $220~ back then.

      Old mate did a dodgy job however… reverse camera was so off centre, cabling was very messy.

      I recommend using airtasker instead so you can at least see the auto sparky's reviews

    • AMLagonda on 29/07/2025 - 16:31

      I would never let anyone else fit it, just take your time and fit it yourself…

  • SwampyBits on 29/07/2025 - 13:13

    Does this fit or can someone recommend a cheap screen for a Lexus 2008 Rx 400h. Not keen to spend $1000+ on a Grom headunit

  • wanj on 30/07/2025 - 18:44

    Does anyone know who can help install this in a car?
    Any recommendation for an installer?

    • Brianqpr on 30/07/2025 - 21:25

      Where are you located? I had two installed in Sydney recently and happy with both. These guys supplied the screen and reverse cameras but I'm sure would quote for install only if you BYO.
