Damn good question I'm also wondering about that. The glare does kill it sometime.

Mine came with one, but I messed up the install cause a few bugs got in and kept flying across my face :lol: so I'm going to look on amazon for one.

I add this here because I just received my GA7153.
I have had a GA5153 for nearly two years. The problems I have had with it have been the following.
1. RAM!!! I use WAZE, Spotify, Blue Iris, Torque and MyChamberlain on the unit. Those apps along with the frequent updates of all things google and in just a few months I am unable to update due to lack of memory.
2. Volume knob stops working. Occasionally and without a trend in time or activity the volume knob stops functioning. I have to use the Steering Wheel Control to change volume.
3. No Power Cycle! When there is a lock up or other software freeze during operations there is not a way that I know of to force a reboot that doesn't cause the loss of radio presets and other app information. It's like starting over. Alternative is to pull over and wait for the power down timer and restart. Not on a trip!!!
Other than that this has been a great Head Unit. Waze and Spotify on trips are the best!!!!!

Hi MeanGreenGTI, thanks for your kind reply.
Having checking with our system, we found that we don't have GA5153F in stock now and this unit became discontinued. You can see its upgraded version Android 6.0 GA7153A with 2GB RAM, Octa-Core & 32GB ROM here: https://www.eonon.com/Android-Car-GPS/Vehicle-Specific-GPS/GA7153A.html :w00t:Hi drakore, which Eonon head unit do you ask about? Thanks!

Hi drakore, which Eonon head unit do you ask about? Thanks!
I don't want the 5153F I have it lol. Been using it since I started this review thread although I have been thinking of upgrading to your newest unit, I'll have to do some more research and maybe upgrade.

Hi Jaber, we have always valued the recommendations of each of our customers. :wub: We released the head units with 1GB RAM & Quad-Core earlier. After learning the needs of our different customers, our R&D department took great efforts to research and development. Nowadays we have 1GB RAM & Quad-Core, 2GB RAM & Quad-Core and 2GB RAM & Octa-Core for most of Android 6.0 car stereos. They are with different prices on sale and we offer different choices to meet the needs of different customers on the product. Hope you understand, thanks!
Hi MeanGreenGTI, as we all know, Android system is updated so fast and frequently and the mobile phone was released with Android 8.0 version earlier in March this year. :w00t:
But there are differences between the car stereo and mobile phone. We must ensure the stability and the compatibility between the car and head unit. Each time We found the great feature of the new Android system version and we always wish our customers can get it at the first time. Relatively speaking, Eonon car stereos are updated fast which are just shown the characteristic of Android system. Hope you understand, thanks!
