Hi all, I've just joined here and I'm interested in fitting an android double din head unit.
After reading loads of stuff on here I decided I wanted an MTCD unit. I struggled to find anything as I need a unit with a DVD drive. I've now bought a unit from reseller Pumpkin which they told me was an MTCD unit. I've just powered it up and it turns out it is a Klyde MTCB unit. My question is, should I keep the unit or send it back and keep looking for an MTCD one - is there any real advantage of getting one over the other as the specs seem pretty much the same.
Whichever unit I end up keeping I plan to use Malaysk ROM.
Hi Guys,
I'm wondering if I will bought car fiat with standard 7inch uconnect radio, is it possible somehow to upgrade for apple car play ?
Maybe someone already do this? Thx in advance
not possible without changing the radio.
Your only hope

I think it is possible by AlfaOBD.

Hi
I’m new to the whole world of android head units so was after a little advice which I can’t seem to find elsewhere in the forum.
I’ve a kia ceed 2010 that I want to replace the oem head unit on, I’d like to do the px6 route as seems better than px5 for virtually the same cash.
Are there any particular things to look out for or avoid? I’ve read that Dasaita make some of the best head units but they don’t seem to do a px6 for my make and model.
I’ve found one from sadocom on aliexpress, which seems to fit the bill and screenshot shows is MTCE but it's MTCE_CZ which I can’t seem to find much about.
Any advice appreciated

If your car model exist on px5 ask dasaita for a px6 of your model...they can make it for you

Unfortunately they only do the newer ceed 2012+, not my 2010. But thanks anyway.
I would suggest don't worry about getting a Dasaita just be sure to get a PX5/6 with a MTCE MCU then you can use Malaysk custom firmware. If anything ask for advice once you've decided on a unit to find out if they're buggy.
I have an older PX3 unit (i think, it's a rockchip rk3188 + 1gb ram, made by Joying) I'd like to upgrade. I've found a PX5 board: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32820356300.html and have been reading stories about BT/WIFI not working. I'm handy with a soldering iron, so I can potentially change out the BT/WIFI module if it doesn't, I'm assuming I'd swap it with this: https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32953209958.html if I run in to problems? Also, is there anything I'd need to do to the unit before swapping out the boards? flash anything? Is there a better board to upgrade to? I've read about PX6 boards but can't seem to find em on aliexpress. In all honesty i think the PX5 would be a sufficient upgrade, since this PX3 is just stupid slow. I don't care about 3g/4g dongles, just really want something that will run headunit reloaded for android auto.
Is your unit an MTCD? Post MCU version.

I took these photos of the unit information, let me know if there's anything else you need. As far as I know its an MTCD unit.

Yes you can upgrade the SOM and WIFI/BT module with the items you list. This is exactly what I did.

Thanks. Is there any prep to do beforehand? or is it just drop in and go? I'll have to solder on that wifi/bt board i suppose, but I mean software wise?

Suggest updating your MCU to latest available. The supplier should ship the SOM with Android installed.

Do you know which one is the latest for my unit? According to the list of cross compatible MCU's it should be 2.56?
I have a new PX5 SOM for sale and also a bricked one if someone is confident using OTG mod to unbrick it. I post to UK only

Hi there as well
Please allow me to give you some advice.
1. The last post in this thread dates back to almost a year ago, so there is little chance of you getting the replies you are hoping for.
2. That gets me to the second point.
You could start a new thread in the Q&A section, with exactly that question you have posted today. Might get you some attention and ideally an answer to your question
Good luck!
Cheers,

I have a 2020 Toyota Corolla. I know that some versions of Toyota's infotainment system exist where android auto is supported.
I was wondering if anyone has tried to replace the OS with the one from the Corolla hatch that I hear does support AA?
Or does anyone know of another solution?
I am interested as well.
All my efforts are in vain until now
The best thing is to replace with your own head unit. I got the Alpine ILX-209 for my 2020 Corolla SE sedan and fits without issue. The unit has both AA and CarPlay.
