Hi guys, we'd like to introduce you the latest Eonon GM5151 Mazda 3 DVD GPS with powerful & unique Screen Mirroring Function & NFC URC! :goodjob:
Just click here to visit:
http://www.eonon.com/Car-DVD-Players...da/GM5151.html

What’s the difference between GM5151 & D5151?
GM series are EONON’s epoch-making products, which have all the functions that D series come with, PLUS: Screen Mirroring and NFC URC (Eonon Exclusive) ​

Therefore: GM5151=D5151 + Screen Mirroring + NFC URC
They will be both on sale.

By using Screen Mirroring Function,
1. You’ll get FREE Google Map or IOS Map.
2. You can share videos and photos on your trip easily.
3. You can access Youtube, Pandora, Facebook etc. from your Smart Phone if your phone is 3G connected.
4. It makes your kid stay entertained and happy all the way on the road by playing games in your mobile phone.

Eonon URC (Ultra Remote Control): A remote you never see! It not only come out with the COOLEST design But also the FASTEST BT connection via NFC. ​

Fastest BT connection: Most of you have ever experienced a complicated BT connection, and the BT sharing maybe the function used very often. With the URC, JUST ONE TOUCH, THEN CONNECTED! Amazing!!


One more good news to tell you guys, we’ll arrange Group Buy for both GM5151 & D5151!:yay: If there're 10 guys collected in total (GM5151+D5151≥10), the GB will be activated soon! Now GM series are in new product promotion, you’ll get more favorable price! Don’t miss it! Welcome more guys to join and share! Thanks a lot! :smile:

Wow!
So many questions-

1) Will the D5151 continue to be supported with updates, or is this the new unit making that one obsolete? I see the D5151 replaced the D5102, but that was a big upgrade with a lot of new hardware (new CPU, CANBUS, NFC, etc). This looks like more-or-less a D5151 with a new feature. A feature that not may not necessarily appeal to everyone (more on that later).

The fact that the name is similar (5151) implies some sort of incremental difference, so perhaps both products are still "current" and supported side by side?

But I see that you write it is an "upgrade" to the D5151, and that you no longer wish to offer a group buy on that one, rather to focus on this instead.

I've seen the amount of issues that needed to be ironed out with the original D5151 upon release (steering controls not saved, FM radio display problems, pairing and bluetooth music issues), so some may prefer the D5151 because the pros and cons are well documented and most of the big issues ironed out. But if the D is planned to be obsolete, seems like an awkward time to buy either one. :/ Any input on this??

2) I assume this has more-or-less the same limitations as the previous model as far as compatibility (no LCD in 04 and 05 vehicles, etc)?

3) What is required for screen cast to work? I'm not familiar with the technology used, but if this is referring to Android's Mirrorcast feature, it looks like it uses a form of WiFi ad-hoc networking. Does this mean that the unit now supports Wifi? And if so, perhaps that could be exploited for other interesting features aside from simply screencasting another device (Browser? Youtube? Pandora? Traffic updates in the GPS app?).

My phone is still running Gingerbread (old ruggedized phone that I'm not planning on upgrading soon), and my tablets are Honeycomb and Froyo- all versions that predate screen casting, so that feature alone doesn't seem like it is worth an "upgrade" from the old unit. Which begs the question I'm not the first to ask:

4) What other differences are there between this and the D5151?

Hi guys, thanks for your questions and suggestions, I've edited the introduction post. Pls take a look at it, if there's still any questions, just feel free to ask here. Thanks! :smile:

Hi dishe, it doesn't mean that the unit now supports Wifi. Screen Mirroring is an innovative new tech that synchronizes any content from your smart phone/tablet to another screen display. It's quite similar to the Apple Airplay you're familiar with. The difference is, Screen Mirroring doesn't require any external wifi or internet connection, or any router to make it work. The only requirement is that your mobile equipped with screen mirroring. If there's still any questions, just feel free to ask here, thanks!:smile:

Eonon Team,

How does the GB work? While I'm interested in this new unit I can't say for sure I'd be one of the 10 to commit without knowing the GB price. The screen mirroring might not be a feature that I'd be willing to pay extra for over the price of the D5151.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave, thanks for your interest. The GB price for both GM5151 and D5151 will be calculated soon!

Still holding my breath for a Bluetooth iPhone 5 fix for the D5151. Not ditching what I have to buy a newer unit if they won't support a unit that rolled out less than a year ago.

See my comments above. IPhone5, both with ios 6 and now 7, never got bluetooth to import my contact list. I have no reason to think Eonon will get it right this time since they never addressed it on the D5151.

Also, if i'm reading correctly, it does not say it is compatible with ios7, which is currently the primary OS for iphones now. Im happy that they addressed some issues with the d5151, but I am not impressed with this.

Thanks for having another GB.

I just have 1 question, when you say the GM5151 is the D5151 + screen mirroring + NFC, is that literally the current D5151 model or are there at least bug/glitch fixes to the D5151 part of the equation?

Hi zerocrash, it's the current D5151, and we have added a new module to the unit so it supports the Screen Mirroring Funtion. Are you also interested in the GB? Thanks! :smile:

I'm confused about this whole screen mirroring thing then if it isn't using WiFi. According to Wikipedia, the standardized screen sharing protocol known as "miracast" (which is what appears to be powering the screen casting TVs on the market) was created by the Wifi alliance, as a variation of their WiFi-direct protocol.

If I'm understanding this correctly, the protocol is different from standard WiFi networking, however uses the same hardware. The functionality is software-based, and in the case of Android devices simply requires the OS to support it (assuming said Android device supports WiFi). That means unlike NFC or 4G LTE, etc, the feature can simply be added to older hardware with an OS update since they already have the necessary wireless chip.

That means that while the GM5151 may not officially support WiFi in the OS, if I'm understanding correctly, the hardware IS there!

I'm not really in the market for one of these right now, but there's some interesting potential to be unlocked if I'm right. Especially if the hardware is visible to the CE side of the system (using the navigation button trick to gain access to the windows CE shell) - I'd imagine one could run WinCE versions of Pandora and other streaming media, not to mention GPS apps that live update with traffic info, etc.

I'm not in the market for one of these myself, but some diligent tinkerers can have fun here.

EDIT: That being said, if you require using your phone as your data connection (WiFi connection sharing, etc), then even if you *did* manage to get Wifi support to CE apps (and that's a big IF), you might as well use the screen casting application at that point I guess. :) However if you have a MiFi or live in an area with a strong citywide WiFi signal, there could be some curious uses.

I would imagine you're exactly right. The unit does clearly have some sort of Wi-Fi capabilities, and if the standard for Miracast communication is Wi-Fi then that would explain the hardware. Whether or not the CE side of the unit can see it remains to be seen. Since these units are quite a bit more updated than the D5102 I used to have I'm especially curious about what the front-end of the unit has access to. If the unit works like I think it does, it may have to go to the front end CE side to access the Wi-Fi, unless the back-end OS has custom software to support the Wi-Fi hardware, though somehow I kinda doubt it since Miracast is software driven and it would most likley be easier to write CE code for it than code for the custom back-end OS.

But then again the Wi-Fi upgrade USB port has me curious too. Makes me wonder if the Wi-Fi support is entirely run by it's own OS and piggy-backs off either the frontend or backend OS for power and basic on-off communication. This might mean the whole Miracast thing simply hi-jacks the screen and sends audio to the back-end OS which would separate it from both ends all together. If that's the case then neither side can see the WiFi hardware.

Anyways, enough of my ranting! Only time will tell!

Hey,
I just got my GM5151 but I am a little bit confused...
1. Is it normal that the buttons-backlight looks like green for both yellow and green and like cyan for both white and cyan? I cant see any difference between these colors...

2. My device does not dimm automaticly when I turn on the headlights. I can dimm it by pressing the "sun" and "moon" symbol on top. The option in the settings-menue doesnt affect any change.

I have a '05-Model and everything else works fine..

Hey holp,
1. Could you send me pictures of the button-backlight in green, yellow, cyan and white? Thanks.

2. If the HU is under "moon" mode, it will not dimm automaticly when you turn on the headlights, but if the HU is under "sun" mode, it will dimm (turn to "moon") automatically when you turn on the headlights. May I know what options you had chosen in the setting menu? Thanks.

Hey,
I tried to make a few pictures and videos to show the problem...

https://www.dropbox.com/sc/6ldom6lw94moeq8/0gC1r9cI0w

Somehow the colors arent that clear as they are in real. It seems like there are huge differences in the video, but with human eyes its much more difficult to see the differnces.
When I am at my parents, I try to make mictures with a better camera.

Hey holp, we'll check and get back to you asap. Thanks!
