BAD Experience with EONON D5163Z

[LiviuTincu]

Hi folks , I just want to share my experience with Eonon unit D5163Z that was installed on 2010 MZ3.
The reasons I have bought this unit is : price , look, features .
The reason I hate the unit : not stable, poor support .
Currently I had some problems with my illumination on the buttons , it went very low at the point you can't see is lit up during the day, at night still very low . I have asked Eonon why is that , sent them a video and after two days they sent me a file and instruction on how to upgrade the unit . Big mistake for me asking . I tried to do the "upgrade" but didn't went as expected and now I have no radio and back-up camera . Their instruction were not accurate or the filers are wrong ones because what I saw on the screen during installation didn't match with what they told me . It did the install without any input from me and I couldn't enter any password or selections as they told me to do. I hate it ! I asked them again yesterday what is going on , no answer so far .
So if any of you have a small problem like I had, don't ask for help from these guys unless you don't care about the unit .

I used to have the D5163 unit no issues until i sold it and upgraded to their GA5163F latest model(same as autopumpkin unit) android 4.4 fantastic unit!

They sent new instructions (after a buddy at work translate my message in Chinese) with some missing steps , but very important where you can select the tunner ,for the complete installation and I got the radio back. I still have to check why camera doesn't work and maybe try to fix the original problem I have, low brightness for buttons when light are on.

This seems to be common with these Chinese units, some owners swear by them while other owners swear at them.

Could the brightness problem be because I have two amps installed ?

Could the brightness problem be because I have two amps installed ?

only if your interior lights dim as well.

only if your interior lights dim as well.

nope , just the unit , the rest is fine.

in the last email I got from Eonon they give me some heads up for "repair" time and what other alternative I have :
"
And please kindly note that it will take about 3-6 months to repair it.
And in general, we suggest our customer take a refurbished head unit instead or get a coupon and pay the price difference to get a new ​ head unit.
Hope to hear from you.

really ?
