Sorry for the late reply I have not been on here in a while. Saw your post in the other thread as well.

I have the Eonon GA-9465 non-B as well with buttons and the 7 inch screen. Please check with Eonon first for your particular model but the updates I got were a little later then Andy's with a later MCU version (links below). Eonon may have later versions then I have so check with them first anyway!!!

Having read up on XDA developers (Android development site link below for more info) the MTCD/E android units as all these units are known (Eonon, Joying, Xtrons) are all essentially based on the same platform with their own interface on top.

The difference between platforms seems to mainly be based which ARM chip and the MCU unit which is the head unit side of things it utilises. The GA9465 like ours uses the RX30 chipset and from the looks of things the same generation of units use the same head unit firmware.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/c/android-auto.3833/

I am considering at some point getting a recovery and backup on the unit to create a backup image of the Eonon android version and trying somthing like Malaysk ROM instead of Eonons version and seeing how it goes but haven't had time to properly research and try that yet and am getting on fine with the update.

(Anyone thinking of doing the same this will probably void your warranty be warned!!!)

I was going to do something similar in the armrest instead. I even bought the later BMW USB/audio jack (mine was audio only), but the later jack doesn't fit in place of the earlier one.

Not sure what I'm going to use this USB jack for (I dont have the Carplay dongle), but it will at least charge my phone.
I am considering doing the same thing with the armrest. Have 2 in there and keep one in the glove box.
