Hi guys!
I am looking for a nice android based radio to my Outlander 2011. I found at least 5 types of design "Fascia change" devices. I think that they are not so popular among people so I have another question. I am looking for 2DIN newest device. Could you please give me a list of 5 newest or best pieces I should consider? It is very important for me to keep steering wheel buttons working and need very good sound quality on built in Rockford Fosgate audio system with external amp and 2-3ohm 8x speakers + woofer. I've heard that some devices not work properly or give not exciting experience.
Thanks a lot!

If you looking for a Android aftermarket there is no way you can choose with audio like the way you wanted. They're just simply like China Android phone or tablet placed on your car.

Personally, I'm waiting for the 8 core systems to mature a bit. I have a 4 core, and it's a little sluggish. I find myself having to roll back to 4.4.4 after upgrading to 5.1. Just too slow. The new 8 core systems are out, but it still seems early to make a firm decision. Ownice and Indashnet seem to be the 2 main manufacturers that I've seen. Everyone else does 4 core. Joying has a 2GB Intel based system that kind of rests in the middle, but considering it costs about the same as an octacore, I would rather wait a bit to see which of those the community takes to the most.
I got deeper into those 8 core and they seem to be super crappy as they use extremely slow Allwinner and Mediatek A53 which sucks. Intel in Joying looks interesting but this device has problems with obdii and few other things. I ve seen pumpkin doing also intel device. However maybe some of you know if there is any manufacturer who still has dvd slot with Intel SoFIA and 2GB + USB for pendrive music? Or at least USB.
On the other hand - is it very hard to make car USB in armrest working with such android device?

Or on the other hand - What about Windows CE 6.0 devices - are they causing less problems? What I need is nice and smooth infotainment system, working steering wheel buttons, bluetooth and usb and fast boot after turning engine on.

Right now I believe the 2GB Intel Sofia head units with Android 5.1.1 from Joying are the best. There are 8 core units on the way, but who knows if that's one month or six months down the road... There are also some units advertising Android 6, but reports seem to indicate that these are a mess of a mashup between 4.4, 5.1 and 6.0, and not true 6.0 units. As for performance, I'm pretty happy with the Intel unit. I wouldn't use it for gaming, but it does all what I need it to do which is Maps, Spotify, 1080p movies and so forth. Unless you have some specific need for doing something that requires very high performance, it is quite adequate as a head unit in a car.
As for special sound setups, it gives you preamp outputs, 4 channels (FR/FL and RR/RL) as well as a sub output. The sub output isn't really managed though, so no crossover or phase selection on it. You can use these preamp outputs to hook up aftermarket amplifiers, but don't expect the head unit to power big speakers with the internal amplifier.
I didn't read the same things about the 8 core units on here. Many people are saying that the CPUs are a lot faster than the Intel cpus, and at least some of them are running true 6.0, not a mashup. It's legit, but nothing has been rooted and the community is still divided. I've definitely read that the Intel CPUs won't be upgrading past 5.1 because they're no longer supported by the manufacturer as well.
My source is mostly this post, and the thread it's in:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70311462&postcount=12
As far as I know, yes Intel has dropped the Atoms, but Rockchip has taken over the chips and will continue making them and supporting them as per a cooperation agreement with Intel (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockchip look at the bottom to see Intel Sofia 3G). Intel may have pulled out, but the architecture isn't dead yet. Sure, it may be dying and might not have any new direct successors, but I recon it's time to upgrade the entire head unit long before it reaches the end of its useful lifespan (2-3 years). This will be true for any smart android head unit you buy today anyway..
Do any of the other 2GB RAM Android Head Units available today have a true sleep or suspend (ultra low power mode) that allows the unit to start up instantly like the 2GB Intel Sofia models? To clarify, this instant on feature is not the same as the past Rockchip or other cpu type of Android head units that have options for delayed shutdown of up to two hours or more. This new feature means you do not have to wait 30 to 60 seconds for the system to fully boot after sitting for a few hours or days. IMHO, the instant on feature combined with 2GBs of RAM appears to be the best or one of the best options for Android head units available today. Do the latest Ownice or Indashnet units have this instant on feature? If not, that would be a deal breaker for me, as I have Joying and Hotaudio units that work fine for most part (thanks to the xda firmware developers and contributors here). Nonetheless, these older 1GB RAM Rockchip units could be faster and the boot time is not acceptable in a vehicle.
Moreover, any Android head unit that does not allow for root access would be a complete deal breaker here, no matter how fast... (no root = no purchase). The one thing that concerns me with the 2GB Intel Sofia models is that nobody on xda appears to have found a way to access Recovery yet.
In regard to audio quality, even the 1GB RK3188 JY and HA units sound decent in my Mitsubishi with the correct factory amp adapter wiring kit and the Viper V4A audio mod app.. Please note that I'm not an audiophile by any means, so your mileage will vary.
Anyway, just my 2 cents... and thanks in advance to anyone that can let me know if any of the other Android head units have the instant on feature.
Happy New Year!

I recently installed a Joying 2GB RAM intel head unit, and although it is NOT a high powered cpu ( 4cores at 1.1 Ghz) it does seem adequate for its purpose.
Typically I run torque / bluetooth ODBII, dashcam/dvr, music app, tablet talk, read it to me, and google maps at all times. Processor usage is normally in the 50-65% range and it still seems quite snappy. The intel chip does run hot, and thermal throttling can be a issue. I added a big heatsink and fan at the top of the case, problem solved. The instant on works very well. When starting the car it automatically finds my phone, ODBII adapter, and hotspot within a couple of seconds of power on.
It does suck not having any type of recovery such as TWRP. The only way to recover from a non-booting system is a full reload of the stock ROM. It does leave the /data partition so at least all your apps are still there, and most settings can be restored using titanium backup. Just today I updated the boot animation with one I created and it wouldn't boot. It took me about 1 hour to get it restored back. At least it does have root out of the box.
The Joying is my first android based HU, and I'm actually quite impressed with it so far.

I guess my issue here is that I, also, already have a 1gb 4 core unit. So, for me, I'm looking for a bit of a better upgrade if I'm going to spend another $400 so soon. I am, honestly, hoping for a way to upgrade my current system - I don't think they'll make compatible modules for the Intel or the octa core. That said, I'm going to limp along with my current system as long as I can before making a decision. I think that for those making a decision right this minute, there's a lot to take into consideration. I would seriously recommend avoiding the 1gb RK3066 or RK3188 units at this point, though.
If you have a head unit that works today and you're not in immediate need of a new one today, then you can safely wait and see what the coming months will bring. It seems that the market for these Android units are finally moving away from 1GB ram units, in favor of 2GB ram. At this point, you should avoid everything which only comes with 1GB ram. I never had one, but from what I read they didn't allow much in terms of multitasking. The 2GB units will always perform better than the 1GB units, so the choice is fairly easy there. The benefit from the Joying Intel units, is that they are the only ones I've seen so far which offer 32GB internal storage. I don't understand why in 2016, now 2017 the other manufacturers insist on sticking with 16GB internal storage, but this gives a quite distinctive advantage to Joying. Also the previously mentioned sleep mode where you get true instant on feature is really nice.
Can someone having Rockford in Mitsubishi can tell anything about built in car BT and phone buttons in steering wheel? They still work or at least are used to control phone functions in HU?
What about USB in arnrest and AUX - do they work or is it possible to wire them for working?
Rockford will still have it's power? HU amp is written to have 4x50W while whole system is 8 speakers + 1 woofer altogether 710W. What is rockford's input?

The 32GB doesn't matter as much to me because I don't install that many apps. I have a 128gb USB stick connected for my music, and I can easily jump that much higher if I need to. 2gb ram is definitely important. The faster the CPU the better, though. My quad core 3188 is sluggish even when I don't have anything loaded and I'm not maxing the RAM.
A mate installed a yum cha Joying JY-135 and it seems ok. Radio signal seems to be weak. It seems to auto connect via bt to a Samsung 6 and starts to play audio but I have to manually press play to start audio on my M9. The screen doesn't dim when you turn the lights on which kind of sucks.
I think for music it should be fine and works well in my mates Nissan. As for me, I'd be using the rca's, just a shame that there's no sub volume control so you'll need a separate sub control knob.

Mates car is a Nissan X-Trail '07. I've got a Subaru Liberty Gen 4. We'll connect it with the proper supplied loom soon, only temp spliced at the moment. Can confirm that hu turns on straight away.
Almost made decision but still need to get sure. There are 2 options with Intel Sofia: pumpkin and joying (2DIN standart) Which one better to choose and why?

Hi, i have just installed a Joying UL-135N2 in my 2011 Outlander Rockford Navi.
Some part of the installation where quite manageable, but some parts are more complicated.
With the right adaptor, CTSMT002.2 from connects2 the Rockford and the SWC works.
The original BT will not work, but the SWC works with the HU BT functions.
Reverse camera needs 6.8V signal from the HU, so here you need an step-down converter and some soldering.
The USB in the armrest needs an adaptor cable, alternatively you can disassemble the mid console and solder the cable.
I have ordered the step-down and the adaptor cable , but not received yet. I have tested the camera with 6V, but the image quality is poor, hope the 6.8V is better.

Wow, those are some impresive specs... What brand is this device? And it seems one company understood that there are a lot of audiophiles that were waiting for such radio like this with so many audio adjustments to fine tune the sound, who otherwise chooses for expensive brands like Alpine, Kenwood, Pioneer or Clarion.
Main question is, how good does this device work with the rest of the components like the radio FM/AM reception, the DAB+, the GPS, does it have voice control, does it support Android auto, does it have a sun reflective coating on the screen, and how good is the hardware on the main board and software support.
It looks too good to be true ..... peterchan2003 do not tear us nerves ... give more details !
Im also interested in this HU. Do you have a website or at least show some pictures?

Is there any update to this product? Any more specs?
Interested indeed, however you need to put more information out
More comments from OP on the youtube video than this thread According to replies there, "released at the end of this month" I think meaning end of June. We'll see.......
Kudos for the volume knob! Do you also make right hand drive version?
The GEQ looks good. It's nice to have parametric control in a native EQ app.
OTOH, the media player looks horrible. That spinning turntable graphic is painfully annoying. Album art should go in that space.
What has this OP provided us that isnt the same as all the resellers that pop up here? Can we expect anything different such as warranties that do not require exorbitant return freight, source code, quality hardware etc or the same quirky MTCB and MTCD such as indash, hotaudio etc.
Suggest not to expect anthing but the same hollow promises.
Totally agree. OP notes via email is that while there be firmware updates, Android Auto is not supported. So looks like device is based on Android 4.x MCU sub-system which is rather ridiculous considering how the benefits Android 7.x offers, beside Android Auto.
Another aside, is how stable, and usable the basic apps are. Built-in DSP means custom apks. Will third party music players, usb/aux/bluetooth connected devices, be able to use it without any quirks is remain to be seen.

The screenshot of CPU-Z says SDK 23 which is MM, so its not KK based, its MM based.
Sellers usually know very little about their products, Android Auto could probably be made to work on it, but whats the point in buying an android headunit if you wanna use Android auto on it anyway ? - You may as well buy a "dumb" Android auto headunit, is just just screen mirroring and a full Android headunit is capable of far more than that.
I've been reading up online and I've been thinking of doing this because to-date, every Android HU I have ever had has failed in some way or another so I want to make my own.
Firstly I want to ask, is an ODroid XU4 a good platform to start with or can you recommend another one to me? Maybe an PICO ITX mini-PC with Android as the OS?
If I use the ODroid, I have heard they have limited compatibility with screens and touch input so what can I use that will fit in a double din case?
Also what double din case would you recommend?
What can I do for the power supply?
What can I use for sound output to my speakers?
Is USB GPS acceptable?
Is there any way I can have physical buttons for back, home, menu, ect?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In for answers too. I had the same ideas.
I too thought about it and looked for information about the odroid board. Look here f.e.
https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=16925
After all I think it is too expensive - monkeyboard for dab radio, a good (!) touchscreen, amplification board aso.

Here are a few problems Im running into
How should I get the audio from my ODroid to my car's actual speakers? My Head Unit is GONE so I cannot use the line input, I need a miniature amp I can fit inside a car PC case and a way to get the audio from the Odroid TO that amp. Any recommendations?
Edit: Also, another question. How can I handle handsfree calling with bluetooth and the mic / phone audio over speakers?
Honestly, you would be way better off starting with a Joying Intel unit and helping out with the software development for it. The hardware is a LOT better than that odroid (which is just an A15), it is already physically ready for a car dashboard, and there is a whole lot of cool stuff happening in the hacker space for that hardware to make it actually useful.

No idea. Are they selling SYU or MTC units? If they're MTC, they are completely incompatible. If they're SYU, they are probably compatible.
I tried taking a stab at it but couldn't figure out how to develop an integrated radio.
Specifically for oDroid XU-4.
Hi all,
I'm totally new here and have no experience with android HU's at all!
I recently bought a Skoda Octavia (2012) with a RNS315 in it. It seems the navigation updates are quiet expensive and the navigation itself is not that good I think. So I started looking for an other device.
I would love to keep basic functions as: PDC, airco, maxidot, steer wheel controls,...
My eyes felt on the Joying android HU's, especially the ones with the look as the VM130N2. This device still have some buttons on it, which is handy in the car I think.
This model exist in the Intel Atom X3 version and the Rockchip PX5. Is the last one the better choice? (newest version I guess)
Or are there other brands that are better for (almost) the same price?
I've read the Joying HU can use some extra cooling, but installing a fan isn't that big problem I think.
Does these units display the name of the radio station on the screen? Or only the frequency?
Thanks in advance!
By trading your RNS for Joying you'll surely get better navigation, but you are going to miss:
- sound quality
- radio reception quality
- Maxidot integration (no navi guidance at all)
- overall quality/integrity
But again the whole Android world will be at your disposal. I traded my RNS510 for Joying and did not have a temptation to get it back despite all Joying's flaws.
Other brands that are better for sound quality? (Pumpkin, Eonon,...)
The Joying HU are on Android 6 others are on Android 8, isn't it a shame to buy an older system now? Or no problem at all to update to the newest Android software?

If you buy a Sony you definitely have better sound quality.
If you buy a Joying, buy the one without the internal amplifier, for example the VM130N2 you mention and NOT the VM130N2D. You better use an external amp to improve the sound.
I have a Joying VM130N2 and would buy either a Joying or Dasaita back.
Atom X3 (Sofia 3GR) is slightly faster than PX5, but the PX5 is 8-core. In the case of multi-threading apps (actually only Google apps), more cores might be useful on a "loaded" system. Even though the PX5 is an underperforming CPU and not better than an Atom X3, it still is the future for the coming 1-2 years as every supplier is abandoning the PX3 and Sofia 3GR, and switching to PX5.
If you want to run custom ROMs, you better choose a Joying or Witson Sofia 3GR (gtx made a very good custom rom) or a PX5 mtcd to be able to use the Malaysk custom ROM. The Joying PX5s are non-mtcd units and therefore incompatible with the Malaysk ROM.
And w.r.t. Android 8: Choose very carefully. Some units are really running 6 or 7 and only have the look & feel of Android 8.
What do you think about the Dasaita HA2137-V840? Should have a better internal amp (don't know if it's true, or just publicity). Have had external amps in my car before, but don't want it in my "new" car.
Probably the dasaita isn't a PX5 mtcd?

My $0.02. Skip the Chinese head units. I've been through 5 of them in the last 10 years. First was a single din media player. It died after 3 years. Second was an ebay purchase of a Windows CE with IGO in 2011ish. Seller said it had GPS--it didn't. Then the screen died sitting on the shelf when I tried firing it up a few years later. Next I bought a Windows CE with GPS unit lasted 3 years till till DVD player died in 2015. Then the res of the unit/screen died on the shelf after trying it a few years later. Then in 2015, I got an android allwinner A13 single core 4.04/8gb storage/1gb ram. The unit died after 2 years. Plus it was so slow and under-powered, that it was a waste of time to use. Then I bought a Joying intel sofia unit in 2017 January. It was pretty good unit until it stopped working. The screen started flaking out intermittently on and off after 9 months. Joying admitted they had a fault but that they fixed it the manufacturing process but the solder joints needed repair from too many heating/cooling cycles.
I'm done with this generic Chinese junk. These units simply are not weather resistant for long term exposure to the elements in the car, and they lack decent cooling. All of this is aside from various complaints of buggy software implementations.
So I bought a Pioneer unit head unit with Android auto, and so far quite happy with it.

Look at the AMP chip. In the Joyings it is a TDA7388. Some other brand units come with a TDA7850 chip and sometimes with a Pioneer PA2030A.
Those are much better.
The Dasaita HA2137-V840 does have the TDA7850 and a better radio chip than the joyings (that is also why I mentioned that I might buy a Dasaita back. All chinese units are definitely not top-quality, but the Dasaita is slighly better).
I have really no idea whether it is an MTCD unit. Please ask Dasaita directly via mail, either via AlieExpress of via their own site www.hot-audio.com

Yeah, well. My brother bought a pioneer Android unit (can't remember which one). He had to wait 1½ year before they fixed the bluetooth issues.
So much for Pioneer. It is a mixed bag everywhere until you buy a unit of at least 750 euros/dollars.

I second that. Chinese Android head units may be a suitable upgrade for older cars but are no match for recent OEM units. And most recent OEMs include Android Auto/CarPlay support which renders manufacturer navi useless.
In your particular case, the RNS315 doesn't seem to have that but there seems to be a direct replacement, the RCD 330 Plus, that keeps all previous functionality and adds AA/CP connectivity.

Looking for suggestions for single din android 7 or nwer headunits with 2GB ram minimum as I'm looking to upgrade from my ATOTO A6 and do to my setup can not go back to double din (require external eq or something mounted under the radio haven't desided) My only real requirements are 2gb ram minimum, android 7 or newer, single din and volume knob not buttons... The ATOTO A6 has lots of problems like Bluetooth doesn't work, it's slow as hell with 1GB ram and i hate the touchscreen buttons for adjusting the volume (like the back and resent buttons on the S7) I'm thinking of also upgrading to an official android auto headunit but only if it doesn't come with alot of the same problems as Bluetooth/USB single din radios from kenwood, pioneer and such.... suggestions? I have no idea what's out there but I'm ready for an upgrade...

It's 7 inch but not single din
I understand you are looking for 1 DIN unit to accommodate an external EQ but can I ask why you need the EQ? Many of the new HU come with a built in DSP that give you more options and also have faster CPUs, larger ROM and more RAM. I just ordered one that's fitted to my car with an 8 channel DSP PX5 4GB/32GB but if you can use a universal 2 DIN I believe Joying has a PX6 4GB/64GB and the Intel Sofia units are very fast too.
I'm looking for a headunit that supported by the community and getting a bit confused.
I'd prefer 2 din with hard buttons on the left (yes, I know there are a lot to chose from!)
Would something like this be a decent unit and have any custom roms?

Edit1: I'm thinking about the 32gb version without the 4g modem (I tether with my phone). Is this somehow a dumb decision?
Edit2: ok, it looks like this linked unit doesnt have custom rom support yet? is the px6 the way to go? which is the best px6?
PX6 is still very new and not widely available so there's not many owners and much development on it. It would seem to be the platform of the future but who knows. Right now your best support is with PX5 and Intel Sofia. You should definitely look for something with a DSP most of the new units have one. I don't now of anything with PX5 and DSP that has physical buttons but there's at least one Intel that does you can read about it here.

I understand you are looking for 1 DIN unit to accommodate an external EQ but can I ask why you need the EQ?

I require 1 din and 2 or 4 gb ram with Android 7 or newer with knob for volume not buttons... I've got an Atoto A6 and it's junk and too slow nothing works so I'm upgrading to something better... I may not put an eq under it i might just put my cb radio or something like that but not desided yet... since I've got limited space in my car I require 1din even though i could put 2 din in... I'm also using external amp for everything so all the fancy stuff in the headunit won't be used most all adjusting will be done to the amp and not headunit

If you want to add a CB that really limits your options. This unit might be your best choice unless you can find one with a pop out panel. The line out or SPDIF output will let you enjoy the DSP goodness.

Looks good... it doesn't block anything below the radio screen? Also Does that one have rca outputs as well?

Yes scroll down to near the bottom of the page they show you the backside and all the connections.
I ordered the Xtrons D781A from Amazon i heard good reviews of Xtrons brand radios and i like the looks of the flip out unit... I use an external amp already so i don't care of the internal amp... I'm just hoping it will be faster and less laggy then the Atoto A6 standard with 1gb ram... I'm moving the Atoto to mum's car since she only needs it for backup camera mostly
