Hello, people!
Decided to write a few questions here as I am looking for a new HU for my GMC Yukon '07. I see that there are a couple of units on aliexpress that have quad-core and 5.1.1. But what I am looking for is a bigger screen. The original is 7", but some of the aftermarket manufacturers (such as Alpine) have been selling the 8"/9" models especially built for the GMT900. Unfortunately the prices for those are quite high and after trying the 8" unit I found out that it was waaaaay too slow for me.
So I am looking into buying a bigger unit and have no problem with rebuilding the front panel of the dash. I am, however, not sure about the can-bus and such, is it all the same for these units or are they built specifically to fit certain types of cars? I'm also a big fan of turning the buttons, not holding or pressing them diablo-style. So something like Erisin ES3015V for VW with 8" looks good, but how universal is this unit? I also see that InDashNet have one for the Yukon, but screensizes are from 7" to 10.1"? I get really frustrated when I see all the different types of resellers and unit manufacturers, and with no knowledge whats-o-ever I really don't know what to look for Show me some directions guys, please

So I'm looking to upgrade from a Pumpkin Head Unit RK3066 that I've had for a couple years now running Malysk rom but performance seems to be getting worse as time goes by. Problem is that I'm not sure what current unit to buy. I want the best specs available right now and I need to be able to root. I have a 2015 Toyota Camry. Would be great to find an HU that is a direct fit for my car but any universal unit would be fine also.
I found this on Amazon for $300 ... Joying JY-UL135N2 https://www.amazon.com/JOYING-Android-Stereo-Navigation-Bluetooth/dp/B01M670UWI
Can anyone recommend any other Android HU's that they are liking and post links to where they bought them?

I have the jy-ul135n2 and I'm quite happy with it, and there seems to be a fairly large user base so little tweaks here and there should be more common than other units. The only thing I don't like about it hardware wise is the recessed screen. So, if you don't absolutely have to have the physical buttons around the screen I'd get the version with touch sensitive buttons that are flush with the screen.

Is this the one without the recessed screen? This one looks like it only has one sdcard slot.

Hi, I'm currently running a RoadNavi unit that's custom made for my car. It fits in the SINGLE DIN slot I have and has an overlay screen that fits over the AC vents for DOUBLE DIN.
However, it's actually quite terrible as there is horrible static due to a bad board design.
I am looking at a Double DIN conversion kit that fits my car (Fiat Abarth), but it clearly states that it only fits "standard" Double DIN up to a 173x98 opening. As I've looked around, that's FAR from Standard.... at least for Android HU's.
There are some non-Android units that fit that size, but I can't find any ANDROID head units that are 173x98.... they all seem just a few mm larger, and therefore won't fit. I'm also looking for something that's rootable, has at least 1024x600 resolution, (no 800x480 crap), and supports Bluetooth OBD devices.
Any suggestions for an Android HU that is 173x98?
Nothing?
I'm beginning to wonder why someone makes a 2din kit and calls it "standard size" but then nobody sells a radio that size.
I could buy it and hope they're actually wrong about the size it fits, but I don't want to waste a bunch of money.
EDIT:
I emailed the seller and told them they're full of shyt, doesn't seem to actually be any head units the size they claim their kit to be. I think they don't know how to measure.
Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for an android head unit, I don't require a volume knob, or any other buttons. I have found the look of one I like, but am confused as there are so many different models for sale. If you could point me in the right direction for a relatively new model which works with spotify and doesn't have hardware buttons, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Leorocx.
Joy for me
I fitted the joying uk-jy-vm131n2 to my Skoda Yeti and I'm very pleased with it. I had to buy some fakra converter leads. Looks good and sound is good.

Can you link it? I cannot seem to find it.
EDIT: Found it, don't think that will fit my 2din gap, but it looks exactly what I want, just needs to be smaller.

Majority of Chinese headunits are slightly bigger than blname brand head units. What measurements is your 2 din space?
What vehicle?

Hello.
is there any suggestion for a 1-din head unit, with ajustable screen, similar to the Joying ones, like this?
I'm having a hard time with the Joying support to have a refund for a unsatisfying QD unit, so I would preferably buy from an other brand.
Thanks.
There’s an Xtrons unit I was looking at. Model No. TR704L which has asimilar form factor to the joying single din units. not sure if the screen height is adjustable though.
whats up with the head unit ? i just got one of the px-5 octa core 4gb ram models with a 10.1 inch screen.
was trying to find a good matte screen protector

What was wrong with your fyt unit? Generally they are better quality than other designs.

The concept is interesting with the screen mounted on a ball joint. However, it doesn't seem to be adjustable. :/
I have an Alfa 156 and the screen has to fit between the gauges and the A/C controls. The 7" Joying screen barely fits.

Candy from Joying keeps saying that I can't send the unit back to Germany, only to China. She's willing to refund half the shipping fees, but wants to make the exchange from China. So I would have to pay the customs, while it was already paid in the price from Germany.

I don't know why I wrote FYT while it's a QD unit. :facepalm:
I'm looking for something similar. Something that won't block my AC controls or my 4WD controls.
Hi, We have this unit. its a 1din 10"

And it's quite difficult, because I need to see the gauges, at least the water temperature gauge, just in case.
Which means that there is only ~120 mm of clearance…

Thanks for your proposition, but the screen is way too big. :/
And your other universal 1-din has a 7" motorized screen which doesn't fit (because it would mask the gauges). Also, the price of the 7" is a little high, considering that the RAM is only 2 Gb…
I'm still struggling with the Joying support.
So if there is any other suggestion, I will happily hear it.
ive got around a $300USD budget. looking to upgrade my old head unit and unsure what to get. ive looked at atoto, joying, vanku, pumpkin. just about every unit and as i do want a "quality" unit i want to find the middle ground between reliability, features and sound quality. lots of the $300 name brand units ive looked at is no longer available because of the chip shortages. ive seen a few "name brands" that i was kinda interested in but would love to use argma or a better interface but still with all the options its tough to choose. i know i want a double din flush mount, so not larger then 7". capacitive touch as i hate resistive. reverse camera isnt really a want or need.
anyone out there can make some good recommendations.
