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

Thanks for reading.

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 ;)

this is the one i have and i love it (never had a problem with it ) but you wont find a digital areal to get the tv working with all channels :P

it would be a cheap upgrade for you

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

    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
    • Being a race car, and being in the era of the Arduino, one would think it would take little effort to build a controller to do the spraying based on a real physical measurment. Waaaaay back in the dim dark AS days, JE "designed" (as in, he had help) a microcontroller based intercooler spray system. It watched the difference between a temp sensor stuck on the core and one in the free air in front of the cooler, and if the temperature difference exceeded a (settable) threshold, it would activate the sprays. Thus, it only ran water when there was an actual need for water. If you stop to think about the actual physical things that are going on in that stack of coolers, there's probably at least a couple of triggering conditions one could come up with, and one could probably even run one pump with more than one solenoid valve, to allow water to be placed where it is needed, or at all points at once (if it is needed at all points). We're in the age of science baby. But.... I suspect that intercooler water sprays are on the forbidden list in most circuit classes, no? So only good for Targa type stuff?
    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
