I'm looking to purchase a head unit that I can root and play with. I'm familiar with android and rooting on my phone Pixel XL. I'm just not exactly sure what model to purchase to get started? Is this a good model to purchase that I can root and use roms for? If not do you guys have a preference of head units?

Hello everyone,
about a year ago I installed an RK3188 car radio in my Alfa Romeo 159.
From day one the performance of the radio was very bad. Especially when I just started the car.
Recently I learned there are upgrades available. Would this work on my device?
Current Radio:
From aliexpress:
Quad Core Android 5.1.1 Car DVD GPS for Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon Spider Brera with Mirror-link BT Wifi Radio
RS-6007C1
MTCD_KGL_V1.92a_5
Oct 13 2016 10:49:02
Android: 5.1.1
Upgrade:
From aliexpress:
WITSON Octa-Core +4GB RAM +32GB Flash PX5 Coreboard For Android DVD (Android 5.1 A5XXX upgrade to Android 6.0 B5XXX directly
Thanks!
Hello geertjan88,
I have upgraded last week my alfa 159 android HU (MTCDE KGL MCU firmware 2.47 and Android 5.1.1) to Witson PX5 4Gb + 32Gb Android 6.0.1.
The result is nice! New board much faster.
Attention for radio. On antenna input no phantom supply for antenna amplifier (in PX3 5.1.1. neither).
Have good project!
Hello Geertjan,
Did you already upgrade your alfa 159 HU? If so, did you experience any issues? Or was it more or less plug and play. I have the same unit (1gb android 5.1.1) which is really slow. A new unit with android 8.0 one will cost approx. 300€

Yes I have.
The screws from the px-5 board do not align correctly with the unit. So it was some fiddling to get it fit correctly. There is some tension on the px-5 board but it is working as it should.
Improvements:
Bootup time is shortened drastically
Device is immediately ready to use
Device feels really snappy and fast
Multiple apps running at the same time, no issue at all
Steering wheel buttons now work!! (didn't work before)
Problems:
WiFi does not always auto connect, have to go into settings and connect from there.
All and all, best 100 dollar i've spend in years.
Thanks (bedankt ) !
Anyone knowing if there is a upgrade board for MTCC / MTCB Units?
For the MTCD Units there is the 4g / 32 Gb PX 5 Upgrade board.
So i would like to know if anyone knows if there is such an upgrade board for other Radios? ( My friend is running MTCC-KLD6 )
Thank you
Doubt it.
No.
I upgraded the MTU on my KLD unit to MTCC-KLD5-V2.97 over a year ago. I notice that there is a newer KLD MTU labelled MTCC-KLD6-V3.06.
Is the KLD6 upgrade compatible for a unit currently on KLD5?
Is it worth it?
Thanks
Does anybody know where to buy MTCD/E motherboards? I need one that accepts the PX6 RK3399 Chipset, and has WIFI and BT onboard.
