Go to AliExpress and find yourself one of these (or equivalent):

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

}
Search for "Polo mk4" and make sure the model fits your car.
I would post some links, but as a new member here I am not allowed to yet (spam prevention).
I'd rather spend some extra money and get the newer more "expensive" models, with better prosessor, more RAM and Android 8.0 tho.
These will fit flush in your Polo mk4, no fascia needed.
Happy shopping!

Do u recommend this unit?
I found this u it online seems to be good to me but not proper i to specs an stuff, does this seem like it could last for quite a while an still be alright. I know the octacore is good if the cores are good enough and rgb of ram is great but is the processor good? Also buying from aliexpress an being in the uk will i get custom charges. Thankyou!!

I don't have this unit myself, but a similar one fit for Golf mk6. Very responsive and nice resolution on the screen.
You will have to expect custom charges when ordering from AliExpress, yes. But sometimes the sellers write a lower value on items, somteimes not..
You might want to check out Xtrons, Chinese manufacturer, but they have a UK-based store as well (if you want to avvoid customs). They have a player fit for Polo mk4, but it's £299 tho.
Still, that's cheap considering all the features you get.

You can search on Joying website:www.joyingauto.com,the VW unit is plug and play

Reccomendations for 1 din flip out?

Hello,
So, been scrolling through topics on the forum, but didn't see anything up to date.
After my horrible experience with the Eunavi store and their radio

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

}
I'm now looking for a replacement. I've got the GPS antenna, mic, and also a dashcam (back usb) installed on the car from before so I'd like to get something that can support all those. Lookin at the flip outs from Power Acoustic and Boss I haven't really seen anything that supports those.
Therefore I'd like to ask here, if anyone knows anything good (and cheap) that could utilize my now purely decorative accessories.. I payed 180 eur for the eunavi one that is now just a paperweight so I'd like to get something similar or cheaper if possible. Haven't seen much with android OS but perhaps there is still something out there.
Regards

I'm still using a Hizpo unit and it's OKish
Mine is 7.1, but all the latest ones are 8 or 9 which I haven't tried.

This looks exactly like the one I had (both the faceplate and also the UI). So I'm a little sceptical..
Thanks for the input tho!

Well, you said you wanted cheap I don't think you're getting a lot more unless you spend a lot more. And even then in the flip out market there is very limited selection. I thought about an octacore xtrons, but can't justify that price.
My hizpo version of this unit is still owrking OK after a year, why is your one a brick?

The software on my Eunavi one gave up and is not working anymore, the seller wouldn't help me get it fixed or gave me any update files for the OS. So i'm stuck with a paperweight that i can't use.

Anyone else?

How long did the Eunavi one last?

When I look at the Dutch site they do not. When I check https://www.suzukiveiculos.com.br/veiculos/s-cross-4style-s, they indeed seem to do that.
A couple of months ago a user showed the same for a Korean or Japanese car, at least some brand from Asia, but not one of the big Japanese brands. And it was for "some" Asian country. He wanted to know if he could use the Joying firmware.
I vaguely "think" to remember it was a Kia or a Subaru.
Edit: I quickly did read 2 Dutch car tests of the S-Cross and based on the pictures it is definitely not a FYT system (if only for the good Dutch translations in the screens. They FYTs don't support Dutch at all )

Big difference in audio quality between FM-radio and streaming

Hi all!
Just getting aquanted to a new android head unit. It´s branded Hizpo and runs Android 10 on px5/rockchip3368 with 4/64 gb memory. Unrooted.
MCU: S32F0_yunht-18-W_20191115_HD1_7708_D_FF_C8
For most parts it´s working really well. But in one area I´m a bit disappointed: the FM radio audio quality.
While reception on the antenna is strong without static, audio is harsh with very strong mids but very little bass. To some degree this can be compensated with adjusting the DSP with full setting on the lower freq and lowest on the rest. But it´s still not pleasant to hear.
In the meanwhile streaming on for example spotify sounds really good.
How can this differ so much and is there anything to try to do to fix it?
The radio IC is NXP6686 according to the listed scecs.
Thanks in advance for any input!

Well did som complaining to the store on AliXprs about the poor FM audio quality and actually got a response and a firmware update file! Will be interesting to try. Will report back.

Nope, no improvement. Probably because I got exactly the same version as already installed. "Fun" to discover after the hazzle with resetting etc . Have reported back to seller and waiting for response. Maybe they´re playing me?

Don't count on any after sales support for the low end units. I was going to suggest checking if the radio app doesn't kill the equalizer (mine did before I replaced it) but it looks like you looked into equalization.
You can try another radio app, but that requires root...not a lot of fun, trust me.

After more back and forth with the "support" I suddenly was sent a MCU update file that they want me to try.
According to the file name it's a newer version from march this year (current version is from 2019):
tbandmcu_S32F0_yunht-18-W_20200313_HD1.bin
Since I'm about to head out on the road next week I'm not ready to risk anything so I will wait with running the update until I'm back.

Finally got around to updating the new MCU I got from support a couple of weeks ago.
Update went smooth. Dunno if it's placebo, but I think FM audio quality has improved a bit.
But still Spotify and other streaming sounds better.
Maybe I just have to get used to it.
And streaming internet radio over a LTE router works really well so no Biggie any more.
Pics of versions before and after the update:

Hi, if you are interested to a custom ROM for this device, look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...lp-thread-px5-s32f0-head-unit-custom-t4165565

Can someone please help me identify my device and guide my first steps?

Hi! I'm completely new to this as I just bought an old VW transporter that has this brand new, presumably Chinese, presumably Android, car radio device installed.
The documentation is scarce and I don't even have a name or reference for the device anywhere. The only "technical" part they mention is "how to change the boot logo" and they don't even give the proper 4 digits code to perform the change. Haha, I'm far from installing a clean Android on this
Could someone please help me figure out what is the device and guide me to the first steps of "jailbreaking" it? (USB key? Unmountit and plug it to my PC?).
Once I have this, promise, I will find my way on Google and try not to bother you too much
Please find a picture below, with the unique info screen I found.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Just by the looks of it this is ancient.
Looking at 4pda thread - it's Win CE and 7-8 years old. Get a new Android unit.

Thank you!.. even if it is bad news I just paid 160€ extra for it when I bought the car and I can't send it back. What Android unit would you recommend?

First check to see if there are any dedicated units for your car model. A dedicated unit will have the adapter frame and correct wire connectors, making the installation a lot easier.
Second, look for 6 to 8 GB RAM. Currently , the best units use the UIS 7862s octa-core processor and have QLED IPS screens. As for brands, I'd say go for a JOYING unit, they make good units and also have an actual customer support.
