Anyone got one? They seem pretty good, looking for first hand experience and help choosing one. After one that supports TPMS, GPS and a reversing camera.

I bought an Eonon Android Head unit about 6 months ago for my Honda Civic, apart from also having to spend £120 on the Dash fitting kit and Connects2 (so that the steering wheel buttons still work) is was a bloody bargain compared to more mainstream head units (Kenwood, Blaupunct, Sony etc)

They also do a nice range of Vehicle Specific head units, designed to emulate the standard fit of some cars (lots of VAG, Beemer, Ford etc)

I think the Head Unit alone was only about £140 for an Android 8.0 Oreo unit, including GPS receiver, but DAB and Reversing camera are optional extras

As a long term Android smart phone user, it was easy to get to grips with, and there are numerous "Car Launcher" apps on Google Play to allow you to customise your home screen to something more resembling a car stereo than a tablet stuck in the dash

My biggest gripe though, is not being able to find a simple Music app with nice big buttons and easy interface when on the move, all music apps seem to be set up for phones/tablets, with the bigger screens just allowing you to see more track/albums, so gets quite cluttered and awkward to navigate when on the move

As for Satnav, i use Google Maps, which i have only ever used even when using my phone as a satnav, so its still very familiar

I have also added the "Tasker" app on my phone to switch on Wifi tethering when it detects the Bluetooth connection with my Headunit (which it does faultlessly), the Headunit then connects to the Phone Wifi and allows me to listen to podcasts/Spotify on the move (i get 6 Gb data on my EE plan), it then also disconnects the tethering when i turn the unit off. It was a hell of a faf to get it to work in the 1st place, but once i figured it out, it saves any messing once i get in the car, as the phone can stay in my pocket and still connect to the head unit
