Dears,
anybody tried Eonon GA2178 - 10" Android 9 Head Unit?
I'm actually on Eonon GA2168K - 10" Android 8 Head Unit, it's a good device with minor problems.
Anytime developers fix a problem they introduce an other problem and there's no community support for MTK chipsets.
Because of this I'm evaluating the new Eonon GA2178, that is quite similar but based on Rockchip chipset.
Tks!
Any update on that GA2178 new device? I bought this one as well but have not installed it yet.

I installed this unit (Eonon GA2178) on my Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2019 on last weekend. It's working great, Loudness setting makes the sound awesome.
Cons:
- I don't like the launcher, probably will use FCC Launcher
- I have not figured out how to connect the steering wheel to SWC1 and SWC2. I think I'm missing the decoder box (Axxess or Metra). I'll buy it on amazon and report back if it works.
Feel free to ask any questions on the install.
I used the Metra. Works good. Sometimes it gets confused and doesn't work but 95% of the time it works.

I've got a GA2176 and just purchased a GA2178.
I probably should have asked these questions before I bought the new unit but.
Does this come with google play store installed?
Have they fixed the overheating issues? I saw a review where the screen would flicker in heat over 85 degrees.
Has anyone tried the addon dongle that supports android auto and apple carplay?
Google Play Store was installed from the factory. I had to install multiple other Google Apps (I have a Pixel 3 and use them all).
Live in Georgia and we've had a heck of a summer. No overheating issues.

I have not tried the adapter.
No reviews as of a week or two ago and the company didn't answer my question about how it works or if it would enable the latest version of Android Auto.
I'm very interested but wanted someone else to be the first to try.

Thanks. I live in Alabama and you're right. It's been a particularly hot summer( temps hanging in the 100s for multiple days).
I've also been looking around for a root for this unit. Has anyone found anything?

Well, when I talk to customer support I was told it will work with the GA2178 so I ordered it with the head unit. Hopefully I'll have it before the week is out and offer some feedback.
I have not seen a way to root yet. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
I am running FCC launcher and am getting along fine with it. I hated the stock UI.. it's pretty horrible.
I am very interested in hearing your experience with the adapter. Why we'd have to spend another $60 for it to work like it should is beyond me. However, I really would like to have that feature. Let us know what you find out.

I have a 2010 Dodge Ram and used the PAC RP4-CH11 decoder and the SW switches work very well. You can even program them for short and long pushes. This gives you the ability to control more functions with them.

I received the head unit and carplay/android auto dongle yesterday. I tried the dongle with the old head unit, Eonon 2176 installed and it seems to function just like any other iOS carplay stereo. Once I get the 2178 installed I'll do some more testing and let you know what I find and think.
Sounds great man. Thank you.
You don't by chance have an Android Phone to test it with too do you?

GA2178
I installed my Ga2168 in my Nissan Sentra and I have the dongle as well as usb stick, sd card and front and rear cameras as well as GPS and wifi installed. When I originally got this it ran incredible but the 2x I tried to turn it on it would not. I used the reset whole and it finally turned back on. It ran fine after but then a few days later the same thing it would not turn on. The reset button worked again but I contacted support and they sent me two files to do a complete system reinstall. The problem is not that I reinstalled the os it is so slow everything runs slow to the point I don't want to even use this radio. I will say when I first got the machine it worked fine other than not turning on sometimes. The dongle works perfect with IOS and Android I tested both. I will say I prefer to use my phone as a hotspot and just use the tablet as a giant phone.

One thing I noticed is how these stereos don't like to run well if they are not getting a full 12.8 volts. I left a dash camera on in the parking mode and it ran the battery down to 12.2 volts before shutting off. After that the stereo seem to run slow and was slow to boot. It even had issues with turning on a few times. This was with my old GA 2176 model. I put the battery on a charger and fully charged it and the stereo went back to normal.
edit - of course I go out to my truck this morning and the stereo wont turn on!!! lol the battery is 12.2 volts. I had to use the reset button to get the stereo to start again.
So if you have a weak battery it can cause issues with the stereo.

I don't have an android phone, just a MiPad 4 that I can test with.
I do have an issue with the screen being kind of floppy from side to side. Where it connects to the mount on the main head unit isn't that tight of a fit. I sent an email to Eonon and they want me to make a video of it. I'm going to assume there is nothing they can do about it. I'll probably have to make some sort of a wedge to go between the screen and the head unit.
Mine has a little movement.. not horrible but it would be nice if it was tighter.
Screen isn't very sensitive but I'm used to using my Google Pixel 3 XL.
Seems much more like an old tablet where you had to press hard on the keys to get it to respond.
I am driving an F350 Powerstroke Diesel. It has two 12v batteries so voltage isn't a problem for me.

I got a response from eonon, they told me to tighten the screws. As you can see in the video, all of the mounting screws are tight. I told them as much in the first email.
I then got a second email asking me to please make the video private. I can only assume it's to avoid bad press. Well, that isn't going to happen.

From what I can see it doesn't support the 2178 or 2176 atm. These two HU are rk3326 with 2 mg of memory and the ROMs you link to only support 3368 and 3399 HU with 4 mg of memory.
I just got the GA2178. Has anyone figured out how to unlock developers settings or USB debugging?

im trying to purchase a car stereo that has bluetooth hands free calling and is able to play music streamed from my galaxy note 2.
the salesman said however, that he cant guarantee any of the stereo units would work correctly with the bluetooth 4.0 that the note 2 uses.
...has anyone had any problems connecting to their car stereo, or can recommend a model that will work with the note 2 ?
thanks in advance.
I have a JVC navigation all in one and it works great with it.
It's a 2011 model.
yup, i have a flip screen with bluetooth and it connects perfectly, i have a full system btw, woofer, speekers amp the lot.
thanks guys .. any links for those models if possible?
If you want something literally cheap as chips, try one of these from Halfords.
I know it won't appeal to an audiophile, but if you're the sort of person who's generally happy with the manufacturer supplied head units, one of these would be a more than adequate replacement, and works fine with the Note II.
Regards,
Dave
bluetooth 4.0 is backward compatibility with all the older versions. So it works !!!!!!!!!!! No problem watsoever. The car salesman should get his facts straight or quit the job
Kenwood has problems
I have a DNX7190HD and the Note 2 will not work with the Pandora app at all through bluetooth. It will play Pandora through the Bluetooth menu option of the head unit but you will not get any song list or album art, but pause and play buttons do work.
Kenwood says the phone is not supported and there is no bluetooth software update coming.
Older Android phones work perfectly.

yes , it was something on those lines that my dealer was saying, and therefor couldnt guarantee any of the other makes would work untill he got some feedback.
As far as audio goes, you should be fine, as m4sta2k stated bt4.0 is backwards compatible. I have a Parrot MKi9000 handsfree installed (old one) and everything works, audio and controls. But, maybe on some radios not all the controls are supported (and also, whichever display functions it may have), as it seems that stuff is not 100% standard across all the bt devices, as opposed to audio profiles.
Best thing would be trying the radio on the store before buying it.

To be honest, I've not really noticed or cared much as I'm usually streaming from Spotify and thus have the phone screen on and can see what's playing there.

i agree with you , it connects everything perfectly.
but instead of a track listing on the headunit screen i just see AD2P ... its no big deal but if im missing a button press or something that shows the track info instead i would prefer to see it.
what does yours show when streaming from bluetooth / note 2 ?

Was in the car today.
Like you, it only shows A2DP on the screen and not the track. Tried with both Spotify and Google Music.
My other three BT speaker devices (2 headsets and some speakers) don't have screens so I can't say if it's the headunit or the phone.
Luckily, I don't care!

I see the option for cast to screen for CM 11. Will this work for Miracast?
If so is this a good one to get?

Just loaded aicp newest ROM. Cast worked fine. No reason cm11 wouldn't. My bad.
Well just worried I heard chromecast just added the option to mirror my friend gave me a chromecast and I've been using it. I updated the app to the newest software and no cast for the phone.

Well I'm installing the newest nightly to see if that helps too. Right now it's crashing when trying to cast. At least it shows it now
Went ahead and bought the one listed in the original post. I won it for 18 bucks. Pick had to use 16 in ebay bucks in 3 days or lose them so only really had to pay like 2 bucks for it. Hopefully I"ll be able to mirror with this. I'm really surprised no one with CM 11 as bought a miracast doggle before.

Can you provide additional info on how this particular dongle worked for you? I have just gotten into Miracast, and am looking at dongles etc. I have looked at Netgear's Push2TV and Actiontec Screenbeam Pro. I was very skeptical about these smaller manufacturer dongle...so I would appreciate your input on this dongle you bought.
BTW, just remember that as far as Laptops/Computers go the computer HARDWARE must be Intel certified for Widi to work, even though Windows 8.1 has Miracast SOFTWARE. So for now I am stuck using only my phone/tablet natively.
Thanks for any feedback!

Well it worked if I was on the same wifi even though it didn't need the net to be on in order to work. Since the chrome cast option came out I didn't really worry about using the miraicast anymore but wanted to try it out. I'm sure it will work even better with a higher priced miricast doggle but ya again it works but for hotel wise I just went with my android doggle it always plays anything perfectly fine and it entertained all of my gf and Is roommates a ton.
Hey, my test unit doesn't seem to work with AVRCP, and the BT sound quality is pretty compressed, especially compared to my Nexus 6.
Several people have said to go into the hidden settings menu when they had problems with their G3, but I don't know the code. Any thoughts?

Hey All,
I've been working with Xyro TR1 on the issue and it has me stumped. We've gotten into the hidden menu, but there is no BT Settings or a BT UI to get into and make changes to.
We've gotten into the /etc/bluetooth directory and noticed a few extra files that are a bit wacky such as AVRCP_Whitelist_toggle and AVRCP_blocklist_toggle. We confirmed that the listings of the MACs are not one to the car he is using.
My BT audio on my H815 is trash. I've tried it on 2 different bluetooth earbuds (Jaybirds & Plantronics Backbeat) and my car bluetooth (Dodge Dart) and all three sound terrible. I just plugged in my Sony Gold Wireless headset via AUX and it sounds beautiful. I really hope my unit isn't bad as I got it shipped to me(not available in Canada yet). I'll be following this thread closely.
Is your issue similar to mine?
Thank god its not just me and my ears. After M8 it sounds horrible and I have been trying out everything today. Especially treble heavy and rock/metal music sounds really bad and have distortion a lot. Hopefully we are able to find a solution for this problem. My car stereo is ok and old M8 sounded good (not great but good) but this just trashes my ears so badly.
The weird thing is, I was posting in the Android Central forum as well and the guy there has the same earbuds as me (Jaybirds) and says his audio is fine. Though everyones ears are different, coming from the Z3 which had lovely BT audio, this is really hurting my ears, especially with in-ear headphones. I wish I could contribute more than just "I'm having an issue", though.
Well it depends on the volume. Lower volumes you can't hear it that well. Especially if you don't know what to listen but once you hear it you can't unhear it . And sadly Im accustomed to good quality sound so I hear it all the time

My old M8 sends song info for sure and Im quite surtain that my old Galaxy S4 did as well as my old Note 2 etc. Its not only about the phone itself but the software that you use. Spotify didnt send the info for a long time but it has been fixed. And dont know about Dodges own systems as the only Darts that I know are from 60´s and I drive a little european hot hatch .
I received the Sprint G4 and have the same problem of not sending track information. While this isn't a deal breaker it's most definitely a huge con for me. So far my experience with LG's BT implementation has not shone a good light on LG for me. First it was the 5-6 times I had to factory reset my G Watch R to get it to work properly, which ironically worked flawlessly with my S4, then the 30 minutes it took to get it to pair with my Honda. Now it won't stream track info. Grrr. With no experience with LG do you guys think it will be fixed in a future update? I'm not too hopeful cause it looks like it was an issue with the G3.
I did try AutoAudio per these directions but it does not work for me. Maybe someone else could try to see if it works for them:

It sounds like your car doesn't support it, my Nexus 5 & 6, G3 & G4 , Galaxy S5 & S6 Edge all send track info to all of our car's stereos (Ford, Maserati and Range Rover).
What app are you using to stream the music to your car? We use Google Music, maybe try that and see if that works if it's not what you're already using to confirm it doesn't work from any music app.

I thought it was just me with the bluetooth issue. Just upgraded from the Note 4 for the G4 on Wednesday and noticed the crackling audio issue with my Plantronics Voyager Legend headset. I wasn't having this issue with my Note 4. I guess we have to wait on a update from LG for this fix. Could be a Lollipop issue with 5.1, maybe 5.1.1 will address bluetooth and phone running hot issues.

I wasn't having this issue with my Note 4. I guess we have to wait on a update from LG for this fix. Could be a Lollipop issue with 5.1, maybe 5.1.1 will address bluetooth and phone running hot issues.

I got in contact with the seller on eBay. They will do an exchange for me. Will update if that fixes the issue.
Has anyone bought one for their shield yet? I just ordered mine along with a light bulb, too good of an offer to pass up IMO!
Got mine a couple days ago. Hooked right up with a few Zigbee sensors I had in the house and working great Waiting on a Google Home Mini to see how the interoperability (sp?) goes with it set up in different rooms.
What is the deal with that?
I mean offer.

I got my link for $10 using a code SHIELDLINK or something similar .. I had bought a Shield Pro and the email had a link. Great deal to make money on.... I prefer my SmartThings hub to the Shield Link approach.
Ordered one for 10 plus shipping.
Will start testing some things with it when it arrives.
I got one. Had shipping problem but that was USPS fault.
Install went easy. No smart items yet, so who knows. Might get a thermostat and a light bulb.

So... How well does it work?
I have one, but haven't connected it yet as I am currently using the HueLink hub for lights...
Mine works great. I don't have a full-size hub and never have, but there are no delays, downtime or glitchiness to speak of. I have 25 devices connected to and this is probably obvious, but if anyone is wondering it does continue to work when the shield is sleeping as well.

Sometimes mine works sometimes it doesn't...
Guys have you tried this outside USA?
My shield TV doesn't give me a code to activate the app.
Hello
Got some rather nice LED lights to bling up the family’s day van for Xmas. Work very well but for some reason the android HU won’t see them in Bluetooth in settings the BT/phone app or from the Govee app.
Interestingly when installed the app on my iPhone 7 the govee app saw the LED lights instantly and connected so I can control and change settings.
Just won’t work on the android hu which is a shame.
It’s an LM running Oreo 8 and has no issues finding other devices like OBD11 or other iPhones etc. Just won’t see this led light set.
As noted iPhone connected instantly from the app so it doesn’t seem to be the device itself.
Any ideas how to get the head unit to spot it?, not the end of the world but would be much neater to control the lights from the head unit.

Hello nope never sorted it, no one here responded and Govee were no help.
I sold the van and fitted another android 10 unit in my Audi and that won’t connect either so annoying.

I have a head-unit from SYGAV in my Toyota. Its android 10. Reaching out to the manufacturer, they came back to me today and said that the likely issue is that the head unit only works as a bluetooth receiver... Thinking I may be SOL and if your head unit is anything similar, then you may be too...

that makes sense actually. All it can connect to is the phone for Streaming and calls and we know the BT in these is rubbish too.
a shame as it would be very cool to control the ambience from the head unit as if factory.
