Eonon Head Unit

I really like having Android Auto in my cars and I thought having an Android head unit could come in quite handy for working with the various microcontrollers in the car. So I asked for an Eonon GA9450 for Christmas.

Recently I wasn’t quite ready to start pulling the engine, so I decided to install the new head unit. The best install video I found was from ShopLifeTV. I used the Dynavin HVAC relocation bracket to move the HVAC controls.

The trickiest part was installing the backup camera. I did it properly and routed the cable through the hold with the handle and then up through the two grommets to get out of the hatch and back into the car.

I got the Eonon dongle that was supposed to do Android Auto, but it is junk. It caused my phone to immediately reboot when I plugged it in. They claim a software fix is coming, but I found Headunit Reloaded instead and that was worked really well so far for $5 instead of $60.

So far I’m very happy with it.
