yet another "what unit is this?"

Can't believe I'm that guy but I've been trying to figure it out.
I ordered this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/201433997805?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Thinking it would be identical to the one I already have in my other car, AN-21 equivalent and I would know what to do with it.
I got surprised with one that looks the same but has some differences:
Model number on the box is TH8086GN
connections in the back (multiple smaller plugs for the RCAs ext mic, front camera input)
built in wi-fi with rubber antenna mounted in the back
quad core processor
The launcher is the same as I originally had with the AN-21 (live tree/bird nest wallpaper, 4 big non removable widgets for Radio, music, aux etc)
Settings menu very similar with "general" and "Extra setting" with 123456 password (again same as AN-21)
Developer options passwd 7890, same as AN-21
External keyboard isn't working (it does on the AN-21)
Settings->About device shows:
Processor Type: QuadCore-R16 1.6G
Android Version: 4.4.2
MCU Version: 5.3.16-1-10-610101-150819
System Version: 4.4.4_20150821
and here are the specs results from CPU-Z: http://valid.x86.fr/a/lvevye
Could anyone point me in the right direction before I go bricking this one trying to root it?

[Q] Help with my Android Head Unit (update and video-issue)

After searching al lot on this forum I can't seem to get some answers (maybe because there is a LOT of info!) I am trying to identify my Android Headunit so I can make some changes. First of all some info about the unit:
I bought the unit half a year ago from aliexpress for a Suzuki Swift (>2011).
- Android 4.4.2 OS, HD 1024*600 Pixels Capacitive Screen.
- Cortex A9 Quad Core 1.6GHz CPU.
- DDR3 1GB RAM, 16GB NAND Flash.
- Built-in WiFi
Processor type: Quadcore-R16 1.6G
Android-versie: 4.4.2
MCU version: 5.3.17-1-10-610101-151112
System version: 4.5.3_20151027
DVD version: 2.13.15-860mc-150417
USB Debugging password protected password: "[email protected]".
Factory Reset / Developer Options password: "7890"
Extra Settings password: "123456"
I need help with 2 issues:
- I would like to update is to a newer OS. Is this possible?
- Since I have a pair of rear headrest monitors in my car, there is a second thing I would like to change. ONLY when I use the DVD function the external monitors get an videosignal. Usualy this is no problem because this way my kids can watch a movie and I can use the navigation app. BUT when I want to show them media from, for instance, youtube of a USB stick, there is no videosignal sent to the monitors and the can only view it on my headunit . Is there a way to cure this? Maybe a way to emulate the DVD function?
- Is there a way to change the current orange illumination colour? (anyone know if there are a lot of led's and if it's do-able to solder red ones instead?)
Ik really hope someone can help! Thanks in advance!

Bway 9" Android 6 Radio with questions

Hi,
I have this unit installed , i bought it because in my car there a not many options with a bigger 9" screen. all the other options will give that 7 inch layout and buttons.
I got steering wheel buttons, so dont need any on the display

Bway 9 Inch Headunit
Model Name: BW-90910
OS Android 6.0.1
CPU:Intel ATOM X86 Quad-core 1.2 GHZ Sofia 3GR
RAM 1GB DDR3
?ROM 16 GB
Resolution 1024*600.Capacitive Touch Screen
Built in Sygic map
Solution Sofia

Build Number : Sofia3gr_car_64-userdebug 6.0.1 MMB29M Eng_build_20170815_121351 release keys
car : Ford s-max 2008
I have 3 issues with it
1 : The audio randomly mutes while driving, sometimes it doenst happen at all. sometimes 3 times a hour.
The sound goes into mute mode, you see the sound icon crossed out. Then i press + on my steering wheel and it goes back to the previous audio level.
2. Its kind of laggy when i use TomTom Go and Spotify, can i upgrade the memory? Gba soldering solutions is doable by me, just need to know if its still worth doing.
3. Audio quality is poor. i am missing the rich volume. i read about the amp replacement. but that will not work for me, i have a amp build in the car.
4. cant connect any other bluetooth devices
i replaced the stock speakers from the car already with new ones. but it barely became better.
Questions :
1. can i upgrade the memory?
2. There are no updates from Bway, Can i flash android 7 and remove all the crap from this build, and get better equalise support and bluetooth? and maybe fix the muting issue.
3. i am also looking into this newly listed model
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32853040455.html
This has 32gb and 2GB and a octacore and higher clock.
would i benefit from this model?
thanks!

A-Sure Android 8.0 problems with ignition and steering wheel control

Hello together!
First of all, I'm totally new into Android Head Units so I don't really have a clue about the different versions etc. Also, I am an iPhone user since almost ten years, so I'm also kind of new to Android
I bought a 9 inch Head Unit with the stated down Specs for my Seat Leon (VW Family) which I directly connected via the original CAN BUS to the radio. It runs just perfectly, except for the following two really annoying problems:
1. The radio ignores the ignition. When I turn on/off the ignition (start/stop the car), nothing happens to the radio. I can normally turn on/off the radio, but the ignition has no effect on the radio - the radio just ignores it.
2. The steering wheel setup doesn't work. In general, the volume up/down, next/previous and phone button works by default, but when I enter the setting for the steering wheel and reset the defaults, the radio doesn't recognize the entries ( I would like to change some buttons).
Does anyone have and idea how to solve this? Are there other apps that can control these settins?
Generel questions: Is there a custom ROM available for this Head Unit? If I can't solve the issue, I would probably send it back and would buy a similar one from another manufacturer. Is there a brand where there are a lot of custom ROMs? Or is it all the same?
Sorry for these beginner questions, but I wasn't able to find real answers to these questions :
Thank you in advance!

I've got quite similar problem in my peugeot 508 - 2012. My head unit is:
Android 8
px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007 eng.hct.20180321.165038 test-keys
MCU version: MTCE_MX2_V2.83_1

with canbus:
MH (PA-SS-05)20180402
SS-PA0503271018-2
For: Peugeot 2008
P/N 1801300412
Software: PSA V2.27 005BYPS
I have no control over steering wheel at all...and all rest that supposed to be decoded by canbus decoder. In my case I had to connect power line, in the way that bypasses canbus, otherwise I cannot even boot up the device. I don't know if updating MCU would help. My device is brand new with stock MCU updated to 26 of April 2018. I thought that maybe downgrade would be a solution but I've got no control over my device to enter into a recovery mode, so I don't want to brick my HU completely.

Does it turn off when open the driver door?

No you can not change the function of each button because the head unit takes the commands ready from the can bus module. If you want to make your differences then you must cancel the can bus module and an additional interface that makes the can bus , into resistive commands
Does anyone have and idea how to solve this? Are there other apps that can control these settins?

STM32 unabel to set CAN Version

Hello,
my device is a STM32-20200403-11-KC1-37 please find the details below. In the settings "about device" where I find the HW, Kernel, OS, etc. Info there is an entry "CAN Version --". I am unable to edit this. How do I set the right CAN Bus version for a Mercedes Benz Sprinter W906 ?
The device came with a CAN Bus Adaptor in a red transparent plastik case - which should be the right one for my Mercedes as I found several compatibilty lists where W211 and W906 are side by side. The sticker on the CAN Bus Adaptor says: BG-BZ01-CAN Bus BG-BZ01-200512 for W211/B200 S/N BENZ32F072 S/W BG V2.00.08 Unfortunately I am unable to find any useful information about this device on Google.
The device also displayed a strange behaviour when I built it in the car. It worked well, but I was unable to switch it off - pressing the on/off button just make the screen blank, but the device drained the cars battery over 2-3 days completely. I think this might also be related to the CAN Bus not properly attached to the device.
Any ideas how to move solve this?
Kind reagrds,

Hi mentos,
maybe look for these adapters.
