Was brought it for Christmas by the mrs. I Know its was £110 as i picked it Main thing i was after was a double din 7" DVD player with SD Card slot. For the top of the range units your looking at £300-£600(some inc Sat nav) but knew that much wasnt going to be spent on it. The unit was bought via the Eonon official seller on eBay. On a daily basis they auction some of thier HU's cheaper than some of thier BIN prices.

SOUND: 8/10
Sound is nice and clear, low-mid range bass seems to lack clear sound. While playing DVDs the sound appears to be quiet, i have on maximum volume which is a shame if your trying to play music videos etc and have a very good set up.

DVD: 8/10
I cant compare to other DVD head units but it has no problem playing DVDs with a clear picture and great sound.

SD CARD: 7/10
Prevents the need for CDs! But, videos can only read as WMV. JPEG pictures are stretched on the screen. 'Initialising' appears between videos.

BLUETOOTH: 6/10
I have a noisy car so maybe partly the reason why people cant hear but the options and connection time etc are not the best.

IPOD/MP3:
Havnt used a iPod on it yet but have seen reviews that it works fine after puttingthe iPod in Plane mode or something.

LOOKS: 6/10
Although you have changable backgrounds these are only from the presets available. The menus are plain and boring, just custom pictures as background would have made this unit 100 times better. Light display buttons is quite good(blue/red option) but mine seemed to turn orange within a few days.

RELIABILITY: 7/10
Heard many issues about faulty screens etc. If you buy from the official supplier, they will replace the unit for you but at a cost to you for postage. Apart from that ive only had the unit installed for 4 weeks but no problems yet.

USER FRIENDLY: 6/10
Buttons on the front of the HU are not essential buttons so you have to tap the screen to bring up other options, not good while driving. The SD card slot is not very well constructed and transfering MP4 files into different file types is frustrating. Touch screen is good but not the best .

REAR VIEW CAMERA:
Not used it yet/had one installed but looks good.

TV:
Not used it yet/had it set up but im pretty sure it would be lame

VALUE: 8/10
For a head unit that plays DVDs, USB, iPod, SD Cards and also has some other features such as Bluetooth and reversing camera you really cant complain at that cost.

OVERALL: 7/10
Cheap and cheerful headunit but dont expect any functions to be special. If you can afford something better, buy it.

good review mr wood.

ive heard mixed reviews about eonon stuff.

when i was looking for my double din i did a search for a few weeks to see what the best one was, but if your on a budget then by your review this is a good buy.

if you have a bit more cash i would go for what i have a JVC NT3 satnav unit.

its served me well in northern ireland and sourthern ireland plus has european maps etc.

im tempted for that old skool feel to hook up my sega megadrive up to it !!!!

If my mrs spent as much on me as i do on her...id definately had the NT3. Originally wanted one with built in sat nav but got a sat nav for Christmas to anyway <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

haha well if you got another sat nav theres no point lol.

i need to find a decent power supply to run my sega in my car now in time for mod nats

That would be pretty epic! Some good power inverters out there...also get a 20&quot; screen for the boot!

why would i stop at a 20!!! lol

im think just cool ness sega in the glove box hooked to my double din

tbf i like the colour scheme of the sega black/red goes with the car. plus who needs the fancy kinect etc when you have sonic,
golden axe,
streets of rage etc.

Waste of space, you can get them on a phone <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

Streets of rage was my favourite when i had a sega picking up pipe and hitting people and just constantly walking to the right hand side of the screen aha
