Hi everyone hope all your Mercs are purring along nicely
I have Just bought one of these eonon q03pro units Eonon 10.1 Inch Android 10 Universal Double Din Car Stereo Q03PRO | Eonon.com to put in my 2006 mercedes c180 (W203), its a universal unit not car specific, to replace a failed other chinese unit(8 core 8667 chip based unit). I have tested it today but not fully fitted as waiting for facsia kit to arrive.
My last unit was car specific with dedicated wiring harness and canbus for steering controls, this one only came with a standard ISO connector and I have a dedicated mercedes wiring harness coming with the facsia kit, however having a day off I decided to try powering up with the harness from the old 8667 unit, it powered up ok but the steering controls will not work. I have been told Mercedes don't use the resistive control method, you can't program wheel controls like that via the key wires. You would need to use the high/low wires and select your Mercedes model in the advanced Canbus options......I'm no electrician so does anyone know which are the high low wires refered to in a reply from a youtube review of the eonon unit
I could always send it straight back and get another car specific unit but I love the 10 inch screen and how it can be tilted
