Jacko 2154 Report post Posted May 7, 2018 Anyone played with one? They have decent reviews. Nothing specifically for an E87 (what I would be after) but... Being able to integrate with canbus and control the works, as well as OBD2 and turn it into a swag of gauges using torque pro etc would be cool. http://xtrons.com/pe9890bpl-android-8-octa-core-4gb-ram-32gb-rom-multimedia-player-with-9-display-custom-fit-for-bmw-3-series.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2154 Report post Posted May 9, 2018 Another one, fits an E87 with auto climate control... Could be either an awesome toy, or total pile of sh*t https://www.belsee.com/belsee-best-aftermarket-oem-bmw-e81-e82-e87-e88-2004-2011-autoradio-radio-navigation-android-dvd-player-stereo-gps-google-maps.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted May 9, 2018 Go for something like this - considered one of, if not, the best https://avinusa.com/10-25-bmw-1-series-e81-e82-e87-e88-multimedia-navigation-system.html 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2154 Report post Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Thats pretty nice, ancient hardware and OS though, and its pretty much just a hardwired tablet? for about the same price as a Galaxy tab S3 ? Suck none of the "mainstream" manufacturers arent really jumping on Android. Edited May 9, 2018 by Jacko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BimmerShaun 10 Report post Posted May 10, 2018 I had an Avin, it failed in about a year, cost an absolute buttload and like Jacko said it's old hardware and OS. I then changed to an Eonon for about half the price and it had much better specs and newer Android. Operation was much faster then the Avin as well 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eonons look pretty well sorted (at least on their website!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BimmerShaun 10 Report post Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) It's literally just the plug that goes into the back of the factory head unit, couldn't be easier. All factory controls (steering wheel etc.) work like normal. However I think there are a couple of other wires that need splicing, can't remember what for. Ihad an absolute blonde moment and spliced into the wrong wire and that completely messed with the body control module. I had the dash not working, hazards coming on, sunroof not working etc. It was hilarious. Not! Edited May 12, 2018 by BimmerShaun 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2154 Report post Posted July 19, 2018 Ordered the Belsee unit, will see if it chooch or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2154 Report post Posted September 4, 2018 Belsee android 8 unit turned up, looks and feels good, plastics a bit "shiney". Buttons etc feel like original units, not cheap sh*t. Got called to USA for 3 weeks for work, but will make a vid review of all its tricks when get back. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
