I have happy with the sound quality. I don't listen at low levels really to notice any issues. I personally think it's an improvement in sound (other than the radio signal sucking) but I am also not using a Bluetooth adapter hooked up to the line in like I was before. I run a hotspot and listen to streaming that way. The bass seems to be more solid. Just not loud enough, it would hurt my ears before. |

If I order this for my E93, do I need to buy the USB dongle? Seems like this should be built in.
If you did install this, did you use it with the preexisting USB plug in the arm rest storage? |

Going to try to chime in a bit on a few posts....

Try using a modified MCU firmware, or even updating to a custom ROM that includes Viper4Android. Lots of info on XDA forums, try searching keywords soundpatched MCU (for modified MCU - should help with sound quality and volume) and also Hal9k (for custom ROM). Quote:
Of course you could wire it so that the Eonon amp powers some of the speakers, but I wouldn't recommend it... either use OEM amp or upgrade to an aftermarket amp. Quote:
Hard for me to confirm, despite having base audio, everything in my car is upgraded, and I'm using aftermarket amps. But that's how I can confirm that the RCAs are not speaker outputs, but low level outputs (and not the greatest voltage, I might add). Quote:
My car didn't come with an existing USB plug, but the Eonon has a total of 3 you can wire up... so I wired one into the glove box, one into the center console, and a third near the driver footwell (to make ODB access, phone connection easier).

The USB dongle is not just a USB plug... it's a $59 add-on that plugs in between the USB plug and the input on the head unit. Then you're supposed to download an APK file to the HU to make it functional.
Description says it adds smart voice assistant. Just curious if anybody added this to their installation. |

If I correctly understand the way it's hooked up is that the RCA OUT (FL and FR I think) of the Eonon connects to the adapter, and then the fiber optic cables carry the sound signal to the Logic 7 amp in the trunk. I don't know if the gain / output is adjustable with this set up. Suggest you contact Eonon for advice. Last edited by Canuck335; 10-15-2019 at 11:03 AM.. |

I have it and have been playing around with it. It does what it says but it's kind of buggy. For example if you have Carplay activated and then use your phone, the screen on the Eonon goes blank. And it stays blank until you kill the "Autokit" app and restart it. Kind of a pain. I would recommend that you try just tethering to your phone over WiFi/Bluetooth and install whatever apps you need on the Eonon itself. Last edited by Canuck335; 10-15-2019 at 11:01 AM.. |

So I'm most of the way done with installing a GA9365 in my 2011 335i E93... far enough along so I could temporarily hook it up and test the HU. So far pleased - sound is good, hooks up to wifi in my garage, bluetooths to my phone.
Couple of questions if anybody knows... 1. Is it possible to hook up the USB and aux in in the arm rest to the HU? I was hoping it was thru the quad connector but don't thinks so. 2. My E93 had 2 radio antenna leads going to the back of my stock professional deck but one of the plugs was wrapped up and not connected. I used the other one and reception seems to be good. Curious what that was about. 3. Behind the stock radio there is another unused plug tied off. It is a tan 4 prong mini plug. Anyone know what this is? |

2. The second one is probably for the satellite radio antenna. (Later E90 radios have the Sirius receiver built into the radio.) 3. Sorry I don't know what the tan connector is for. Did not see it on my car. You take a look at the wiring diagrams on newtis if you're that curious. |

Need some troubleshooting help if possible. Just installed my 9265B. Pretty easy install, but only problem I have is the WiFi. I put the connector for the WiFi on right but for whatever reason it won't turn on. Went into the headunits settings and the slider for the WiFi just automatically goes to the off position. Any input?

My GA9365 has been installed for about 6 weeks now and overall very happy with how it came out.
Couple points... 1. I was worried that the sound system might be a step down but the audio sounds great because it still used the stock amp in the rear of my E93. 2. I did not use the 'free' back up camera offered with the HU, instead I ordered a Weivision trunk handle camera from Amazon for $29. It works fantastic - great resolution and low light capability. Just make sure you use a relay. 3. I put the antennas in the driver's side pillar trim, but in my convertible there is no airbag behind it so I had to dremel out some space in the back of the trim piece. Question - if you have a OSBII, how are you using it? I assume you don't leave it plugged in all the time. |

No, I looked at the diagram and made sure it was in the WiFi. Eonon gave me some stuff to try, if it works I'll update here just in case anyone in the future has this problem.

Oh, and if your steering wheel NEXT and PREV buttons are reversed you can go into the factory menu and change the CANBUS setting. Another setting I find useful is turning on the battery voltage display. |

Re: What do you think the best folding knife
Another tip is to allow the loudness in the eonon amplifier settings without delay. This will carry out the bass from the stock subwoofer right now. I never knew that the stock speakers can sound like wilderness knife this till I established the Eonon. Bass and highs were non existent at the bmw professional radio.

You can instead consider the newer climate control panel which includes integrated seat heater buttons.

Hey I had a question, Will installing the Eonon give me any issues when trying to read the codes? It comes with a CAN bus system.
Just wanted to know if the dealership would have problems reading the codes if I took it there for some recall |
