Can i updrade my Head Unit? - Android Head-Units

Hello,
I recently bought a Pumpkin Andoird Head Unit for my E46 (I'm not allowed to post links yet so I cant link it here)
It is a little bit buggy sometimes (apps randomly start at startup or sound doesnt work till I restart the device) so I was wondering if I could upgrade the thing or maybe install an other rom on it. After I googled a while i found out that it depends on the mcu wether I can update my device or not (am I misunderstanding things here?). So I looked up my MCU version but couldnt relate to any of the MCU versions I found. If there is something I'm missing or if there is a thread where all of this is explained I'm sorry.
Here are the informations that i get from about device:
Modelnumber: rk3188
Android version: 4.4.4
Baseband version: unknown
Kernal Version: 3.0.36+
Build number:
Alex:5201-20160321-125320-v3(4752)
TFT:5201-20151231-213308-V01
MCU:5201-20160321-113500-V01
Screen resolution is: 1024x600
I hope someone can help me
Best regards

New Headunit user..

Hi,
I have a Eonon GA7153 for my VW Golf and just curious if there any recommended tips/apps I can use on this. Also, I'm pretty new to android headunit's so no entirely sure what kind it is (MTCB/MTCD etc), here is the info from its about page:
Processor Type: QuadCore-R16
Android Version: 6.0.1
MCU Version: 5.3.19-122-12-C03101-170309
System Version: V7.3.1_20170314.122224_KLD1-0-1
DVD Version: 2.13.15-1200xh-150417
Cheers
Hello I'm new to these units too got mine 2 days ago an im so new in fact that I forgot to make a backup of my system before messing with it...
I have a GA7163 which is actually very similar to yours
MCU version: 5.3.19-122-50-C03101-170309
System version: V7.3.1_20170314.122224_KLD1-0-1
DVD version: 2.13.15-1200xh-150417
Now my unit still works but I accidentally corrupted my su binary which broke my root and now no longer allows me to root again so my advice before you start make a backup and please if you do and wouldnt mind would you share your system backup with me?:laugh: I would really like to have root back:fingers-crossed:

Do you have a joying type id?
Which firmware did you try to flash?
Do you have a fan and/or heatsink on your unit? The Joying units can become quite hot during flashing and even too hot: the 1GB units even more.. That can also cause the boot loop. It might even help to take it partially out of the dash and use a hair dryer on cooling stand via the top of one of the holes in the side (and then of course: install a fan!)

THanks for the reply.
I did modified my car aircond to allow small hole to blow to the back of the HU.
From the info i gave, what is type of HU?
Additional Info. The physical look is the same like in this video:

I overlooked the Android version 6.0.1 on your PX5. This means you have a QD unit. Joying used to have an upgrade from 6 to 8, but that has disappeared. You can not simply flash an android 8 version onto a version 6.0.1.
Contact Joying at one of their email addresses.
Youtube video that i give is upgrade from 6 to 8. Do you mean this tutorial?

I know it is the upgrade video. Joying did have a special upgrade firmware version some 8-10 (?) months ago. It is no longer on their blog. And simply flashing a version 8 onto a version 6 does not work. That's why I advised to contact Joying.

Noob questing for updating unbranded HeadUnit

Hi All,
I have been reading up a number of threads and would like some guidance of how to update my headunit.
Ive purchased a preowned car which it came with the Headunit. It is a VW Jetta (2015 model) not sure if its the stock unit.
As i cant find the model, i understand that might be difficult as it needs to match the resolution.
I have some details below:
Model Number: S07 (not sure which brand that even is)
MCU version: MTCB-KGL-v2.5.5
Android version: 4.4.4_01062015
CPU: Arm v7 1.6Ghz
Memory: 1024mb
I know i will need a KGL firmware but i see some mentions which i should not flash the MCU.
I just saw this thread...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../comprehensive-updated-mcu-list-mtcd-t3476880
Seems like its just about placing the img file to the root of the sd card
