I saw a video on this just now. Seems like a pretty interesting product. Front and rear camera, Android auto, tire pressure monitoring system. Huge 7 inch viewing screen for google maps and cameras. Comes with a 64GB SD card upgradable to 256. went to their web page and for Memorial Day is is only $159.99. I don't own one myself.

The video I watched:

Looks interesting.

A few weeks ago I bought this:

With a coupon -- codes are present in a lot of YT reviews of it -- it was $171, including shipping. On some of the moto forums I read, more sophisticated units from Chigee and Carpuride are becoming increasingly popular, but they're more expensive (even with their own coupons). I don't want to be a complete Luddite, and so wanted to check out the world of CarPlay -- my car doesn't have CarPlay, and I never had any such unit for it or for bikes -- but without spending a lot of money.

I put that on my Meteor 350. I also wanted to put some TPMS sensors on that bike, and so for not all that much more than buying a new pair of my favorite sensors from FOBO, the C6 also includes those. As part of that TPMS plan, however implemented, a couple of months ago I had my local Royal Enfield dealership install metal valve stems that I provided (along with new tires that I had them order), so the Meteor would be sensor-ready; I -- and most manufacturers -- have long advocated that external sensors be used only in conjunction with metal valve stems.

So I got to check out the world of CarPlay and get sensors. And keeping my expensive phone in my pocket was another goal, even though over the winter I bought a vibration-dampening mount and case for it from Peak Design.

I've used the C6 on a couple of Meteor rides now; one ride was a lunch meet-up, and I actually needed directions (as opposed to my usual riding, during which I don't care where I am or where I'm going). I guess I like the C6, although aside from TPMS I don't really need it, won't be looking at it, and I do have some reservations of that product.

Speaking of reservations, but regarding the Eonon P6 you cited (as far as looking at their site, and my reading comprehension):
  • It doesn't come with either a quick-release or, alternatively, a theft-deterrent mount.
  • No specs on the TPMS accuracy.
  • No specs on the screen brightness.
A couple of good points of the P6:
  • Nice that a USB port can be an alternative power source (a lot of units are 12V only).
  • A sunshade is provided (although it looks pretty small).
I haven't mounted the dash cams included with the C6, and probably won't: I haven't found good locations for them. Also, I mount a front-facing GoPro on almost all my rides, anyway. If anyone is thinking of using dash cams that come with these CarPlay/Android Auto units for travelogue purposes (the way I mostly use my GoPros), keep in mind that they don't have physical or software image stabilization, so I don't think they're very good for that use case.

And I'll have to watch that YT video you linked to, to learn more. One of the really big disappointments I have with the C6, for instance, is that I now have, on the Meteor, a full-time TPMS readout, on that screen the PSI numbers are a real eye test: it's like reading a book with a font size of 2 or 3. (OTOH, it's nice that these sensors check in every so-many-seconds, i.e., I can do a pre-ride check in the garage, without having to have the tires rotating, that sort of thing.)

In any case, the Eonon P6 looks like another way for folks to dip their toes into this world for not a lot of money. My guess is that a bunch of these devices all use the same hardware, so it may come down to how the software is implemented, such as my complaint about the C6's TPMS readout.
