Will a Chinese Android Head Unit ever work as expected...? - MTCD Android Head Units General

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?

Worth upgrading PX3 RK3188 1gb Ram to PX5 RK3368 2gb Ram? Please Discuss.

Hi all,
Purchased an Xtrons MTCD System back in September,
Android 5.1.1
1024x600
16gb ROM
1gb RAM
PX3 RK3188 4x1.6ghz
Mali 400mp
Looking at purchasing a newer version now offered
Android 6.0.1
1024x600
32gb ROM
2gb RAM
PX5 RK3368 8x1.5ghz.
PowerVR G6110
I currently have a lot of stutter when switching apps or opening iGO navigation while Spotify is open.
Also the cold boot time annoys me.
I can purchase the new version & sell mine off for minimum loss.
Is the RK3368 OctaCore & 2gb RAM a definite upgrade?
I need advice as I'll be purchasing it at the end of this week, which means I need to advertise my current one ASAP.
Cheers
Mat
From what I've read it's the best upgrade available right now. 2gb ram is probably the biggest thing, and according to the benchmarks, the PX5 is the fastest CPU available right now in these types of units. Some people like the Intel CPU, and claim that despite having lower benchmarks it may be as fast as the PX5 - but I'm pretty skeptical. Just the upgrade to 2gb Ram will make a slower CPU seem faster. Without a side by side it's impossible to know. Either way, I will be upgrading my quad core 3188 to a PX5 as soon as I am able and one becomes available for my car.

Thanks for the fast reply. If I get a couple more positive comments from others I'll be ordering my new one Thursday, DHL Shipping. I can post a comparison of the 2 units side by side by next weekend if everything works out well from boot times to launching the same apps etc.
Cheers
Mat
Edit: I purchased the new unit. Have organised sale of my current unit. Will hopefully get a quick comparison video next week between the two opening specific apps and comparing run times etc.
Can you post a link with the px5 unit?

Hello,
So you bought it ?
May I have your opinion about it ?
What was your installation before ? I currently have an OEM 16/9 Nav System.
my biggest concern is the settings like Clock/Fuel consumtion etc... Everything is set from the nav unit, how will it work with the Android system ?
Thank you

Double check before you order witson px5 coreboard
witson px5 core board is not compatible with MTCD-KBT unit. Swapped the PX3, powered it up, button lights flashed twice but the screen stay black. Tried all methods to get into recovery mode but never success. Screen stays black. I think I just bricked my unit. Any suggestion to unbrick my unit? Your advice is highly appreciated

Have you considered the px5 som you received is defective or doa? How have you validated the son as defective other than testing on your mtcd? From cross compatible thread findings its seems unlikely KBT departs from MTCD as to not boot.

Hello, did you manage to get it working or tried to re-install the original board? I also have a KBT unit (Eonon) and have already ordered a PX5 board.
Update: After installing the PX5 board, everything worked fine. The unit booted immediately and everything is working much better now. However I am facing an issue, that after wake up, the panel buttons and touch screen are not working. It somehow works after a period or multiple ignition on-off cycles.
Thanks,
Alex.

Hello, since you will be replacing the board, there's no reason to upgrade before because the firmware runs on the board itself. Depending on what version your new board will be running on, you may choose to update after you install it.

Eonon GA6151F extremely slow right after startup

What really is bothering me is that right after startup (when the unit has been powered up after starting the car) the entire system is in-cre-di-bly slow.
I often need to use the navigation app (e.g. Sygic in my case) and the unit's so laggy after startup that I need to wait for a couple of minutes with the engine running before the system is "up to speed".
After about a couple of minutes the unit works as it's supposed to: fast and responsive. OS and apps and all.
But after any shutdown that was long enough to force a full bootup (showing the startup logo's etc.) it's all slow and laggy again for the first couple of minutes after startup.
Sygic is pretty much the only additionally installed app, apart from the stock apps.
It is an Eonon (Klyde) GA6151F (for Mazda 3 2004-2009) with MCU version MTCC-KLD6-V2.97, and Android 5.1.1 (rk3188-userdebug 09082016.13:48:16) firmware.
Any tips as to overcome this?
Thanks a lot!!

Theres no such thing as an "Eonon GA6151F" - Eonon are just a seller who mainly sell Klyde units you most probably have a Klyde MTCB or MTCC unit "Eonon GA6151F" so you ll be better off reading/posting in thread in the MTCB section because your unit is the same inside as the 1000s of other MTCB//C units made by 10s of different manufacturers and sold by 100s of different sellers. "GA6151F" is a made up name by Eonon and wont mean anything to anyone on here because we use manufacture names to identify units - this can be found in the settings/about device screen after the letters "MCU" - the numbers and letters tell us the manufacturer and MCU type.
Your ll find info on the 2GB RAM upgrade in the MTCB hardware mod forum.
Its probably also a good idea to read the wiki in my signature.
EDIT: I checked, you have an MTCC unit.
Hi
For my part i have a GA6163F from Eonon, which is the same device onboard (RK3188 MTCC) except for the screen (7 inch vs 8 inch).
Anyway, when i bought mine, I flashed the 5.1.1 ROM of Malaysk because I wanted to use TomTom on my device. It worked good but like you the unit was very slow on startup and i had to wait between 3 and 5 minutes before launch my TomTom app.
Last week I've seen that our unit (MTCC device) is compatible with a downgrade on Android 4.4.4. So I tested and it's UNBELIEVABLE ! The unit is really fast. Startup in 30 seconds, TomTom works really good, interface is really fluid.
So my tips is to flash this ROM :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70647239&postcount=6748
I was thinking about adding 1GB of RAM before but with this ROM, for my usage it's not necessary. I suggest you to take a look on it.

When I got mine it was on 4.4.4, I upgraded to 5.1.1 and find it fine, I ve also upgraded the RAM.
But the point of my post was to tell you that you dont have an Eonon GA6151F, because theres no such thing - you have a Klyde MTCC unit whihc is exactly the same as any other Klyde MTCC unit, apart from screen size, no matter whether its for a Ford, a BMW, an Audi or a universal unit like mine - theyre all the same inside.

Well, I know that my device is a Klyde MTCC. Otherwise how would I know what ROM flash ? But you do well to specify it again to be absolutely clear for those who are not used to with this jargon.
I just wanted to point that before spend money or because you don't know to disassemble your device, there are others things which can be tested before adding 1GB of RAM. That's my opinion.
But, that you said is really interesting. I thought that Android 5.1.1 handle badly the RAM, but the problem is maybe the only 1GB RAM with this OS. For me Android 4.4.4 consume less of RAM and works better my 1GB.
Do you use some "big GPS apps" like TomTom or Sygic on your Klyde MTCC 2GB RAM ?
Really appreciate to share experiences with you to understand better how this device react to the OS and RAM.
Thanks,

5.1.1 stores running apps in cache, so regularly clearing the cache helps overcome the lags with 1GB.
2GB can run all sorts of bigger spps, yes.
But my point, which you havent understood yet I think, is that there was no need to open a specific thread for your unit because it is the same as all the other MTCB/C units and if everyone did that then there would be literally 100,00s of thousands of threads about duplicate devices and problems. See ? You do not have a "GA5161F", you have an MTCB/C head unit made by Klyde !

Could you please link to some specific content about RAM upgrade for a EONON head unit?
I've just got a EONON GA2186, and I find it very slow, both regarding to app running and responsiveness.
I've read something (this is my first contact whit this subject) and I guess I need to understand what is MTCC, PX3 and PX5, etc. Is it possible that you could guide a non-fluent in English through what I really need to know in order to have it running faster, without lag and more responsive to touch? What do I need to buy/change? A "core" or is there just the RAM part to replace?
I'll appreciate your help very much.
Thanks in advance.
You need to buy the RAM and then get it soldered onto the board, there are some threads in the hardware modification section.

Do you guys think it is worth a try or should i rather buy the Ownice?

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.

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

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.

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?

TDA7851. 4x48W I believe. Better than Joying

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.

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.

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:

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:

Bluetooth won't pair with GPS sensor

Hi,
I am using a PX5 head unit:
Android 9
Model: RK3368
Build Number: rk3368 userdebug 9 PQ2A.190305.002 eng.hct.20190509.101541 test keys
Kernerl version: 4.4.167
MCU Version: MTCE_KSP_V3.07_1
CPU: Octa Core cortex [email protected]
Memory 3940 MB
I'd like to pair a Garmin GPS sensor via Bluetooth. The sensor's firmware is at the latest release.
The Head unit is paired with my Note 10+. I can pair the sensor with Samsung Note or Ipad, but I can't do that with the PX5
there is no message, it just doesn't connect. Is there anyway to diagnose what's happening, or things I could try to make that work?
Thanks a lot
Chris
Hi Chris
Bluetooth seems to be very limited when it comes to Android head units. You will see around the forums of people complaining about it. I have 5 OBD II dongles and out of the 5 only 2 work via Bluetooth on the unit yet all work with Bluetooth on my phones.
Problem being also you can't use an external Bluetooth dongle to compensate.
The only suggestion I can give is to connect you GPS to your phone and then tether your phone via mirroring it to your unit so you use the mirrored image from your phone. Other than that you will need to just go with what GPS the unit already has.
My PX6 unit has a good GPS unit that works flawlessly. Speed from GPS is exactly the same as my Speedo and also my phone.

Thank you for your advise, my GPS unit takes 5 minutes to get a fix when coming from underground parking, the external sensor takes less than 20 seconds and is way more accurate. The thing is, that the accuracy, even for off road driving is no issue for me, it is the time until I receive a signal. I will investigate the mirroring part, to find out if this is feasible or not. It's just annoying to have the unit and then mirror my phone.
Thank you
Chris

Have you got an app on your head unit called easy connect or easy connection?
If you have, then you can use that for mirroring. All you will need to do is activate developer settings on your phone and then turn on debugging. Use your oem lead for your phone and plug it in to your head unit usb socket. It should automatically detect your phone. On your phone you should be given the default option for usb when it's plugged in, just choose charge only then you should be good to go. It also will automatically install the necessary app on your phone.
Make sure that the app on the unit is also upto date.
Good luck
Terry

In the middle of this picture you can see an app named EasyCon. That's the app that you will see I hope.View attachment 5017129
