I have a Eonon - EO859 that came with my GTT, but it randomly drops radio and "seeks". I have taken it out and checked the aerial but all looked fine. Not sure what else to check anyone help me out.

Here is a link to the unit - http://rsonlineshop.com.my/Spec/New/859.htm

most of the time its going to happen with any radio, multipath is a huge problem with "Nissan diversity antennas" they suck ass on a good day

before blaming the radio I would look at the antenna connection, most are hacked up when they bring them into OZ. to put on freq.converters. and without a good ground plane refuse to get a decent signal. or they might just have a loose jack ? setup on local or distance switch ????

you can get a stick on grid antenna similar to the rear defroster grid for a replacement or go old school and get a EVO,BMW,MERC roof mount instead ?

Hey troy thanks for the reply. The antenna on the back on the unit looks very clean and untouched. Im not quite sure what else to look at / for.

most likely the antenna in the rear de- mister area then or mutipath from nissan diversity antenna idea (worthless) in adelaide, if your unit has a local distance button put it on local in town?

where in town does it happen? expressway ,airport, cbd ?????

Randomly everywhere, usually around overhead wires etc

if you have access to a old school type antenna (metal rod type) to test it with, like old ford one, plug it in and prop it up in the seat I can just about bet the one in the rear window is stuffed, most suck

even a newish mitsu VRX I drive around sometimes with a top of the line factory radio, and roof antenna does that same thing , around Adelaide. my old top of the line Pioneer did it in the R34 as well. but found the wires hacked from importer and rear ones disconnected off GPS unit in rear pillar.

don't throw the radio out yet, the antenna needs a ground plane to work right. what part of town do you live in down south ? might try amplified hidden model instead ?? or if your around one night at villi's look at it for you?

Hey troy, live west ish (Flinders Park) I maybe able to make it to villies this Friday depending on my missus going to a party. Be awesome if you could look at it.

I don't have a spare antenna anywhere either unfortunately. When i start the car im not sure but it sounds like an aerial extending but that could be a completely different component ;)

the noise you hear is the ABS brakes running a test on the line pressure when you first drive off. 10-15 seconds after moving forward. on the GTT

I have a cheap upgrade antenna for Digital tv. lol works a treat but needs some fiddling to get it sorted.

thanks for the buttons to push for local/ distance

due to prior commitments I have been volunteered to go out to eat friday , so villi's is out mate. sorry.

I live 15 min from noarlunga , in the dirty south...lol

ok well the second thing to check (common problem ) is that they havend uses a metal bast tint on your rear window as this will affect your reception , also the adapter plug used to run an aftermarket radio tend to fall apart once pluged and unpluged a few times .

good luck .

also most eonon's are utter crap theres only 1 modle i have found to get worth its money !! the first and second ones i had were shit and the third was great !! the last one i just got for the wife is newer but alot harder to navigate the menues and settings but works fine

they do have support if you bought from one of the bigger sellers , and MSN to discuss any issues live.

had one that had out of date test maps, they FTP'd me the new version , no drama's

the plug above causes most problems or hacked installs

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
