I have the 9465 non-B version. I don't know if these files are applicable to other versions.

Sorry for the late reply I have not been on here in a while. Saw your post in the other thread as well.

I have the Eonon GA-9465 non-B as well with buttons and the 7 inch screen. Please check with Eonon first for your particular model but the updates I got were a little later then Andy's with a later MCU version (links below). Eonon may have later versions then I have so check with them first anyway!!!

Having read up on XDA developers (Android development site link below for more info) the MTCD/E android units as all these units are known (Eonon, Joying, Xtrons) are all essentially based on the same platform with their own interface on top.

The difference between platforms seems to mainly be based which ARM chip and the MCU unit which is the head unit side of things it utilises. The GA9465 like ours uses the RX30 chipset and from the looks of things the same generation of units use the same head unit firmware.

I am considering at some point getting a recovery and backup on the unit to create a backup image of the Eonon android version and trying somthing like Malaysk ROM instead of Eonons version and seeing how it goes but haven't had time to properly research and try that yet and am getting on fine with the update.

(Anyone thinking of doing the same this will probably void your warranty be warned!!!)

I was going to do something similar in the armrest instead. I even bought the later BMW USB/audio jack (mine was audio only), but the later jack doesn't fit in place of the earlier one.

Not sure what I'm going to use this USB jack for (I dont have the Carplay dongle), but it will at least charge my phone.

I am considering doing the same thing with the armrest. Have 2 in there and keep one in the glove box.

Man am I glad I found this thread. I have been having a plethora of problems with my GA9465B more or less since I got it. Link to post with my issues here: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showt...9#post27910759

TLDR; My GA9465B Apple Carplay is basically non-functional, as well as other apps and the unit itself is slowing down massively or will have random bugs.

If you are still looking into loading custom ROMs from XDA, please let me know.. Id rather try every solution before having to shell out another 2-300 for a new unit.

I then ordered and installed:

This fit and sealed well. The video quality is only 'OK' -- suitable for backing up -- but not as crisp as the OEM system in my wife's X3.

If anyone has a higher quality recommendation, I'm interested, as now that I ran all the wires, swapping it out would be easy.

Updating this -- I ordered a higher quality camera (manufacturer Misayaee):

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

for $60 (vs the $20 I paid for the original unit). Definitely better and crisper -- maybe not 3x better, but on the other hand $60 is chump change in the context of a BMW.

Swapping the old one out was easy -- but the power connector didn't match so there was some extra splicing involved. I just cut the female connector off the old unit and soldered it to the new camera so it would match the existing wiring.

Do you have logic7? Does the canbus box beep for all of the original chimes?
