Same here. I have to unlearn decades of everything I thought I knew about car stereo HU's.
I've read through many forum threads and I'm confused on which one to buy. Lol.
can you guys please help me
Rule of thumb would be best CPU, most RAM, most storage space that is in your budget. Most units are just rebadged so there is very little difference between badge a or b.
here's a place to start:
http://www.hot-audio.com/category/Hyundai_Series_-1.html
Dasaita units have good eom support.
The hot new feature everyone is going to want in Android Auto is the new "wireless Android Auto" feature, so i would recommend getting a head unit that has the new wireless AA built in already. Even if your phone is not currently supported for wireless AA, your next phone might be and you will be glad you got a head unit with that feature in it.
I just got the JVC KW-M845BT unit myself and i am pysched to get wireless AA working at some point in the near future.
thanks a lot guys

You can have AA wireless right now on pretty much any Android HU:

Even on OEM HUs with no WiFi support:

Hi guys,
right now i am using a dynavin d99 which works ok.
seeing all these great android head units i am actually thinking about selling my dynavin and buying one of these.
I have 3 head units i am interested in:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/XTRONS-Autor...465112?hash=item2a605f0018:g:LgYAAOSw--1WqcHn
http://www.ebay.de/itm/2015-Neu-And...578113?hash=item4885ed7941:g:cS0AAOSwLzdWRDB8
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-Android...del:A3&hash=item4af03f2cc2:g:fz0AAOSwf-VWapiR
the last one has a resolution of 1024x600 the other ones 800x480.
should i take the high resolution one or due to speed issues the low one?
Do the Android head units work without issues? Will they still be good use in 2-3 years or do i have to upgrade (because of newer android versions coming out every year)?
Can I somehow save the radio station names? I don't like to have the frequencies there I don't want to learn the frequencies
I read about a mic mod - will plugging an external mic be sufficient or do i have to do this mod? (looks a bit dangerous)
Do steering wheel buttons work?
Do they have DSP Chips?
which one of these 3 should I buy? the first two i guess are hui fei the last one i don't know but it also looks like hui fei
thanks for your help in advance
Hey there.
Today I just wanted to buy an Ownice HU.
But then I found this XTRONS running Android 8.0 with a octa core and 4GB RAM.
Do you guys think it is worth a try or should i rather buy the Ownice?
Thanks for every answer

I can't say anything about Ownice but the Xtrons is definitely worth its money. I have had two Erisin's and a Pumpkin but the Xtrons is my first HU which is working without any issues.
The only thing with Android 8 is that it came out a few weeks ago so it could be still a little bit buggy.
Hello
Yes, on paper it seems perfect, I just have a doubt about the quality of the product, knowing that the audience shines by its absence.
I hope that the conflicts Wifi / Bluetooth are not identical to TB706APL, without reliable internet connection, this new product is useless.
I'm curious about the xtrons also. I was going to buy a joying but saw the xtrons has 4gb of ram. I have both a 2gb and 4gb tablet with similar cpu's, and the 4gb tablet is far faster and more stable than the other one.
I installed the 10.1 version in my truck on Saturday. The model TE103P. So far I am very happy with it. I just need to figure how to get my Bluetooth ODBII adapter working.
The performance so far is impressive. It turns on extremely fast and I like the UI for now. Compared to the Joying I had before, the performance seems better.

I just ordered the xtrons te706pl which shows px5 with 4gb ram and android 8.0. I got it off Amazon for $269.99 with free shipping. I was going to go with joying as it's seems to be the most popular company but 4gb vs 2gb is just to good to pass up. I have 2 tablets with the same Cpu, one has 2gb and the other is a 4gb. The 4gb is so much faster and more stable. 4gb just gives the tablet an easier time it seems.

Do you have any info, about what kind of amplifier Xtrons uses?
Written info is allover the place. Dasaita updated their hardware from TDA7851L to TDA7850, which is supposed to be better, but in their presentation graphics is still written TDA7851L. Since hardware between head units is practically the same, I assume XTRONS might use newer amplifier chip as well...Does anyone have a clue?
Which chipset us it actually? Looks nice, I'm thinking about replacement of a joying with 1 gb and kit Kat which has a really slow startup.

It's using the Rockchip octacore PX5 A 53 architecture 64 bit cpu and 4 gb DDR3 kingston memory.
It is also far way better than the Alwinne T8 which uses a A 7 architecture.

Would you be so kind to share the make and model of your truck, I'm considering putting one of these in my Ford Excursion. I'm concerned about being able to adjust the display vertically.

hello, I want to ask.. how good sound this new device?
because, I have read that sound sucks by older devices (joying, dasaita...)
Ive just got mine xtrons te706pl installed 3 days ago and it's doing great. The only problem I've had is getting logged out of spotify overnight. The install was a pain but I have a factory infinity system with amp. Overall I'm happy with the unit. It's pretty snappy and quick.
Hows the sound quality, any hissing sounds?
Sounds great but I already have a factory amp. But I think it sounds better than the factory stereo. I can't figure out how to root it though. Kingoroot doesn't work then I realized it's android 8.0 and might not be root able by it yet.
I was looking at this unit as well, does it have pre outs for front, rear, and sub? My current unit has a huge drop off in sound quality from youtube to pandora. I've asked about it and not found out if this is a common issue or not in the android units, but that is something that is a big turn off for me. I'm hoping the newer units have this fixed. also any quirks or anything else you've noticed about the unit? so far this one is on the top of my list of what i'll be purchasing next.
Hello
With a few days of use, what is your feedback experience.
Do you test the reliability of 3G or 4G internet connection, are there any cuts like on old units built with the PX5 card?
Is there still the bug that cuts the internet connection at each call reception due to a conflict between bluetooth and wifi?
Is there still an abominable echo during a phone conversation with the correspondent with bluetooth?
I read that it is possible to have two open applications with screen sharing, Waze example displayed on a half screen is it legible, street names ect ..
Thank you for your answers and sorry for the syntax because I use Google translation
cordially
I use my phone as a hotspot for my internet do I can't comment on 3g/4g. I did notice a horrible sound while im talking to someone though. It was a loud screeching noise throughout the call. I had no problem with either wifi or Bluetooth cutting out. I haven't tried to use split screen yet but I will and get back to you. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. It works very well.

The sound quality is so much better than the stock unit. The EQ does an amazing job of bringing out the sound. I haven't notice any difference in YouTube or spotify. I don't use pandora. One quirk is I had a horrible squeaking noise when I had a phone call. I haven't looked into that yet. The other is I can't figure out where the developer options are. I've went to about in settings and hit the model 7 times. The unit says options activated but still can't find it. I wanted to root the device but haven't been able to.
A few days ago I posted this in general https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...android-auto-questions-specific-ones-t3894283 I got some answers but I have more research lead me here.
Specifically instead of going with pioneer with whatever software they are using I could instead use a fully android based unit that is self-dependant if need be and use headunitreloaded to serve my android-auto needs (I heavily prefer using my to choose locations or change the music or atleast pass it around if anyone wants to change the music) so I am here asking the pros, what do you guys recommend that I do? follow my original post? or this post? because pretty much what I want is to use android auto while i'm able to use my phone, listen to music and use the backup camera. (on that note, which cameras do you recommend that dont shine an LED when reversing)
I too am on the fence regarding purchasing an android powered head unit. but what makes me second guess my choices is poor build quality and software to boot.
any device you looking at in particular?
I'm not on the fence, I just need to find the right one to order
From what I gather we need something px5 if we want to load roms?
The 4 I've narrowed them down to are listed below along with a camera(not all mention PX5 though they may have it, all but 1 are 10.1 inches)-
Pumpkin: looks like they have good support, 7" screen $240
hxxps://wxw.amazon.com/dp/B07K82XT4Q
Joying: Company has been around awhile, but youtube is full of issues with this model priced at $370
hxxps://wxw.amazon.com/dp/B07K82XT4Q
T-One: Little to information on the net about the company, middle of the range price point at $310
hxxps://wxw.amazon.com/dp/B07FKQHV2F
Eonon: Cheapest at $225
hxps://wxw.amazon.com/dp/B07HNZ2L8D
Camera I've chosen: only 420tvl, look for one at 800tvl for best quality
hxxps://wxw.amazon.com/dp/B06XNM7GNS/
Just letting you know the Eonon unit you linked does not have a PX5, it is a mediatek processor. Eonon GA2170 / GA2170B / GA2171S are current ones with PX5.

Both are PX5, the 7inch you can find on ali express specifically mentions PX5 and the 10inch you can find here on xda https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...trons-unit-te103ap-android-8-4gb-ram-t3763542

Can you please test to see if it works? using wifi direct (even better if you have OneUI on your note 8). if it does work I'm definitely getting one.

I tried this with Headunit Reloaded but couldn't get it to work using wifi - it complained of an IP issue. I'm not sure if it was just my unit as I have lots of customisations on mine. But I did get the USB connection working fine.
Am looking to get an Android HU too, totally newbie here.
Could someone please advice whether I need to go for the 8.0 or 8.1, and what is the minimum ram / rom and quad or octa core I should be getting?
Hi everyone,
In 2017 I bought a Witson Android 6 quad-core PX3 unit from an European reseller. I was quite happy with the unit but after about one year it suddenly stopped at bootlogo. After several months of receiving nonworking advices on how to install new firmware I requested to get a new unit under warranty. Thereafter the whole discussion started to get ugly so I had to contact Witson directly in order to get the thing settled. Witson was kind enough to send a new unit.
The new unit is an Android 8 octa-core PX5 unit so I assumed it would have better performance than the old unit. After using it now for several months now I must say that it is worse than the old one,
- when installing additional software I could not get a stable connection to my wifi router 5m away, the wifi range is so poor that the only way to use it was to have my mobile phone as a hot-spot on the dashboard
- the radio reception is poor, only very strong stations work, all others suffer from frequent drop-outs
- the GPS is loosing the connection all the time and the navigation often goes completely nuts
The unit display info is,
Model px5(1024x600)
Android Version 8.0.0
Kernel version 4.4.93+ [email protected] #46
Build number px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007 eng.hct.20190219.093540 test-keys
MCU version MTCE_MX2_V3.13_1
CPU 8 core 64-bit CPU Cortex-A53 @ 1.5G
Memory 3891 MB
And here is finally my question - from your experience/knowledge - are all the problems hardware related or can any of them be corrected by upgrading the firmware/software?
I have now got so frustrated and used so much time with these cheap Chinese Head Units that if no-one comes up with any positive information about what could be done I will rip the unit out of the dashboard and replace it wit a branded Alpine/Sony/Pioneer/Kenwood unit.
Thank you in advance for any comments.
Go for the branded head unit.
Weak wifi is not uncommon. Read the forum. Did you try an external antenna?
Bad radio reception. Does your car have a powered antenna and if so, did you apply power?
You may want to try 3rd party fimware, e.g. Malaysk. They tend to be more stable.
I have had a GS unit, sold by XTrons, for more than2 years without.significant prpblems. Using Malayak firmware.

Thank you for your reply.
No I do not have an external antenna because there is no connector for it so I would have to open the unit and assemble one. I did not want to do that when I received the replacement unit in case the unit would have been faulty at arrival. Now I suppose I have to look for info about the issue.
Yes the antenna is powered and the power is connected. I missed the antenna power connection when I installed the first unit and had to remove it and connect the antenna power so I know for sure that it is connected now.
Does the Malaysk or Hal9k firmwares have modifications that make the units work technically better or are the modifications only in the user interface? Anyone have information on this?
Hey folks,
I'm planning to replace my headunit - currently using a Pumpkin headunit (MTCE, KLD, 4GB RAM, octacore, Hal9k mod).
Before flipping through thousands of threads in the forum (as the search won't work for me too look for any existing threads, always something about "security error occured") I'd like to know if there are any good sites where current models are being evaluated/compared?
I don't give much care fore OEM function support (my car doesn't even have CAN-/LIN-Bus) however I'd like a headunit with "good" sound quality and the "standard" stuff (GPS, WiFi or built-in 4G module, bluetooth/hands free, steering wheel button support) and maybe a volume knob instead of 2 buttons.
Oh - definetly looking for universal 2din unit without an oversized screen or stuff as I like to keep it rather flush form-wise. (see pic)
As far as I understand the newer headunits with a PX6 board are superior to the px5 ones, despite having a hexacore only?
Anything else I should watch out for? Any "bad" manufactureres? Anything that stands out?
Best regards and thanks in advance!
