I'm looking at a few different models that will hopefully play nice with my 2004 Audi Allroad and happened across this model that says it uses Android 5.1, however it seems like some of these might just be "skinned" 4.4.4 to look like 5.1. Does anyone have any experience with the XTroon units and whether this is a real 5.1 unit?
I'm also looking at one of these two Joying units,
JY-UQ130
JY-UQ124U
Thanks for the help!

I'm looking at getting the Eonon GA5153F to put in my 2015 VW Jetta. I've noticed that all of the android head units made to fit VWs only list compatibility with Jettas up to 2012 or 2013. I contacted Eonon support and was told that it cannot communicate on the newer can bus.
It's this true? If so, what does that mean? Will it still be fully functional and just little things like steering wheel controls won't work? Or will it not work well at all?
If most of the units out there are truly incompatible, can you guys recommend one that will work?
Pretty sure I answered my own questions. This guy put the same unit in his 2014 GTI. Eonon only lists golf compatibility up to 2012 as well. I get the feeling that they don't list it if they haven't directly tested it.

I strongly believe that it will work. Also means they won't warranty it since they don't officially support it. Guess I'll go see who has the same hardware cheaper since the only reason I was looking at Eonon was for their support.
Just out of curiosity though, has anyone successfully installed one of these head units or a similar one into a 2015 or 2016 VW?
And why?
The 5.1 unit appears to be MTCD_KGL from the screenshot they have provided, however I don't see any comparable information in the screenshots of the 4.4 unit. Do I assume the 4.4 unit is MTCB? I did try inquiring but they reply with nonsense that MCUs are different for each unit. DAB is of no importance to me. Much appreciate any advice.
Unable to link to their product pages, but the units in question are sold by ERISIN, part number ES2028A and ES4028A.
Yes, 4.4 unit will be MTCB, 5.1 unit will be MTCD. While they may look the same externally, and even share common specifications, they are NOT the same.
I would definitely take the MTCD/5.1. Why? Because China is notorious for not supporting their products.
Hi, I recently bought a Secaine 10.2" head unit for a Jeep Renegade. It was advertised as running Android 5.0.1, but it is on Android 4.2 KitKat. Has anyone updated any similar units?
I also bought a android head unit from Seicane for my nissan murano that was advertised as having 5.1, but was actually running kitkat, all they did was re-skinned the UI, shame on them. You should let them know
Seicane has a lot of options for sizes that other resellers do not have, but i never see anyone on here like "oh man seicane is so great"
like i want this size for my Jeep Wrangler:

Theres no such thing as a "Seicaine" head unit, they are just sellers who sell head units from many different manufacturers.

A picture of your MCU may help identify what unit you have.
Thanks for any help with this. The MCU is as follows
5.3.19-3-88-047201-161124-BNR

No probs, with that info and the cpu type you should search the Android headunit general forums to try and find what unit you have.
Hi guys. I want to upgrade my Ford Galaxy (2011) to an android head unit. I've noticed that a lot of new octa core, 4gb RAM units running Android 8 are now out. Please could I have some personal opinions on the best of the bunch. I've looked at Pumpkin, Xtrons, Eonon etc.
Secondly, does anyone know if Ford Voice Control would still work? I'm assuming not for music etc but I'm hoping that it would at least for dialing phone numbers handsfree.
Thanks in advance

First off, anything you see that says "8.0".... take that with a grain of salt. The chinese way is to mislabel older things to pretend to be something newer. In fact, I would be seriously shocked if you see something with GENUINE 8.0 from china in less than a couple of years. They are *always* 2 years behind.
Secondly, and the dead giveaway on this, is that Android 8.0+ includes some very car-centric features. The UI on it looks very similar to Android Auto. If you don't see that, then its NOT Android 8.0.
THIRD, there really wasn't much changed in 8.1 over 8.0. Nothing that would make building it any more complicated than running a repo sync followed immediately by a make. There is nobody in the entire world who is going to be using 8.0.
Want to try something really fun?

REAL Android 8.1-ish (actually from the master branch, which is somewhere between 8.1 and "P") in your car.
look around on youtube to see what others have done. i have installed a new 8.0 4gb/32gb in my ford kuga (escape) and also installed mtcd dialler for voice dialing and it works fine. the steering wheel controls works too. all good
Can u tell me brand and model?
Thanks
Hi,
im very new to android radios and i was already reading a lot.. not just to make a decision which one i should by also to learn about problems, tricks and so on. And im sure, i will have some questions in the future I never had an android radio before and I had a conflict with my wife.. I like a big screen, 10 inch for example which always is a out of dash display but she dont like them. The biggest in dash i could have is a 9 inch unit. I did not found a lot vendors, only dasaita and joying. The radio is for our mercedes 906 sprinter van.
Dasaita: HA2152-Vivid10-CP-HD
https://www.dasaita.com/products/da...o-px6-4g-64g-android10-1280-720-dsp-ahd-radio
Joying: JY-UQ139N4G-H
https://www.joyingauto.eu/android-10-double-din-car-stereo-replacement-4g-lte-radio.html
What i need:
- good sound, it is basically a radio (min. 4x50 W output)
- DSP
- 2 Din (i was reading about over heating problems at 1 din units)
- wireless car play
- good FM receiver chip
As far as I know, the Joying is using the UIS7862, Dasaita PX6. After all i was reading here in the forum, I would prefer the Dasaita because of the PX6. The only problem: there are almost no information about the radio on their website. Which one would you buy and why? Is there anybody with experience of the Dasaita headunit? Are there better alternatives?
Best regards

Hi, prior to buying it I would ask sellers of this device to give you specs of device. And ask them in a way in which them must be clear that you are serious buyer not some naive buyer.
You will be much pleased with your answers.
Hi anton,
yes I was already asking yesterday for some more information but I expect that this unit is not completely different to the PX6 devices, which are more described in detail. Im still waiting for an answer.
I am also looking for a hu for a sprinter van and am looking at these. These seem very expensive compared to some of the other models out there. Is it only because that are made for Mercedes?

Difference is in chipset and prices ...
Mediatek devices are cheaper but full of bugs and much slower units
Qualcomm / Snapdragon units are now top stuff, much faster even with 2x32 GB of memory, everything is connected online , updating , helpdesk etc.
Mediatek devices - Chinese modified - has been reported that they are using some illegal softwares (pirated)
There is a third option , it is "do it yourself" type of device , you order specific device for model of a car, and unit is perfectly adjusted to any of the car model you want (with Qualcomm or older Mediatek chipsets), but it is much expensive rather than standard aftermarket units.
There is a link if you want to configure unit by your needs :
Check this site ... https://www.made-in-china.com
You contact them and they configure your device and order, price is told on end and + shipping.
Ie. like this order - for older cars below 2011 and with dahboard lcd control unit... https://witson.en.made-in-china.com...-Peugeot-407-Silver-Frame-1080P-HD-Video.html
or for Benz

Hi,
i was ordering the Dasaita. Had some contact but still not very much information about the device. The unit comes with PX6 and i guess there are not very much differences compared to the well described devices on their page. Lets see when it arrives (guess 4 weeks). They will also send me a unit with vivid11 which is not yet offered in the store. They confirmed that this device will fit into my 2015 sprinter even if the description is only labeled up to 2012. Im not surprised. Im wondering if the can will work but that is not much important to me.
