Hey guys, I'm in the market for an Android Auto Head unit. This popped up today on crutchfield. I hadn't seen it in my compatible HU list in the past few days.

I see in previous threads that this head unit is catching some attention. I am a little overwhelmed with the head unit jargon, but what are some thoughts on this head unit? Is this a HU I should pre-order? My only other choices are the Pioneer NEX and Kenwood DDX models.
i started this thread on it the other day:

it has been pushed back over and over, i gave up on it

Yea, I just saw on the actual JBL site that it now says August 8th.
The price is amazing and I love it's minimalistic look.
Long time to anxiously wait as I want to use Android Auto so badly. I really don't want to pay 600$ for the ugly Pioneer HU.
=(
This is apparently now missing from Crutchfield and the availability on JBL's site went from "August 8th" to "Coming soon".

For US market
Been researching Android headunits for a while now. Trying to find the best value (<$300). On ebay it seems like there are a ton of brandless options for 150-200 but from what I can tell Joying is a 'name brand' in this space. Is it worth spending a little more for one of theirs?
I have my eye on the JY-UL124. Worth $270 with no DVD (don't need) and no included backup camera?
Yeah I have my eye on a few too, but on Amazon. I have read good things about Joying too. I wonder how it compares to Pumpkin and EinCar, those look good too.
I made the mistake of buying one in the 150-200 range. It was listed as having android 4.4.4, quad core 1.6ghz processor and no cd/dvd. I used cpu-z and found it actually had an a7 at 1ghz and said two cores were turned off. I returned it and bought a JY-UL124. They change the prices daily on ebay. I did a best offer and got it for $240 shipped. I should receive it in a couple of weeks.
i have researched this for over a year. Joying seems to be the way to go for USA. Even if for nothing else, they go through Amazon and have a good return policy. The others offer returns, but you have to pay to ship it to wherever.
I have researched this over XDA and Reddit and various forums, everyone gets bad reviews here and there, but Joying seems to get the more positive reviews. RoadNavi and Eonon get good reviews on XDA too, but the return policy seems the best with Joying USA and Doctorman
The Malaysk Firmware is greate !
I use it on a Joying JY-UL124 RK3188 with MTCD 5.1.1
Hi,
I have $350 (and some cash if necessary) worth of credit on Amazon and I want to pick up a 10.1" android octacore head unit.
I purchased an Xtrons brand, and I really liked it, had great wireless (at least when connecting to my phone), was fast, sounded good, etc....
Unfortunately the bottom panel buttons stopped working after a week or 2, and I have to send it back...
I was just wondering if there might be a better one than the Xtrons brand?
Thanks!
Hello Everybody!
I thought that this would be worthy news to share on the forums. As of this Thursday (6/14/18) newer "XTRONS" head units sales from amazon have been stopped. Assuming that this is a brief stop, sales should be back to normal soon. My only understanding of the reasoning behind this is to stop people from buying units that will soon be outdated by new and updated stereos that will most likely be replacing the older units in the store.
XTRONS Store
Love to hear your thoughts on this!
Thanks,
Murf. :good:
Doesn't make sense business wise, unless they are updating the older units as well... Otherwise they would have a warehouse full of old units..

Looking to buy a unit for a 2010 Prius, with factory JBL amp.
Looks my options are a PX5 unit. Most of the units being offering on Aliexpress seem to be units mfg by Klyde. Some of the newer models seem to include an IPS screen. I have the option of purchasing a car play/android auto dongle or getting either (but not both)included in the unit itself. The cost of buying a unit with free shipping seems to be around $30 more then paying for shipping separately. Am I missing something? The only thing I can think of, if the unit has to be returned I doubt my original shipping costs will be refunded. I can purchase up to 4 Gig RAM 64 Gig ROM.
Other option seems to be a unit based on MTK 8227L. Looks like it's only available 2Gig RAM 16 Gig ROM.
My googling suggests the PX5 is the better choice.
Am I missing anything? Is it worth paying an extra few dollars for an IPS screen.
Is klye a decent mfg? Any suggestions on what reseller might make the most sense. Top 1 Multimedia store? Yifoum? AliKD multimedia store? Other resellers seem to have much lower customer ratings.
Thank you for any input. Googling and searching only gets me so far.
Hey there,
for which one did you end up deciding? Are you satisfied?
Cheers,

The last PX6 I owned ran too hot and overheated. Ended up going back.
The PX5 is a few years old now but always ran really well for me.
I'm curious about what people are going for? The cost isn't that different now. About £30 in it.
Would love to know people's views
