Good evening all,
At the beginning of the week I purchased this head unit, for my wife's car. The satnav on it (Primo) is great, and the wife loves it, but the settings, customisation and menus leave a lot to be desired. is it possible for someone to help me identify it, and find out if there is an alternative firmware available please?
Here is the only page that gives me any info about the unit what so ever!
imagescertificity.com
Many Thanks.
The brand is even mentioned on that page you link to: Eincar, with modell numbers and all.
see https://www.eincar.com/
Thanks I know its an eincar unit, but I'm unsure on which firmware I need and where I can find it. I cant see any firmware from their site.

The first thing I would do is contact the supplier. They even have a live chat on their page (top right) and "Contact Us" at the bottom.
Did you already do that?
Hi Surfer63. I have, this was two days ago, I had to "leave a message" as their live chat was offline.

I guess it is this one: https://www.eincar.com/car-dvd/2-di...ooth-car-stereo-autoradio-free-3g-dongle.html
No firmware to find.
I believe it is this one, https://www.eincar.com/car-dvd/2-di...l-include-reverse-camera-audio-autoradio.html
but on the menus on mine look different to the menus pictured in both the item you've linked to, and the one I have.
This is the one with the same menus etc. https://www.eincar.com/car-dvd/2-di...etooth-free-rear-camera-and-gps-map-card.html
I've ordered this one as it looks like there is far more customisations on this. (from what I've seen on youtube.) if that is no better, i'll send them both back.

Just had my HTC Touch 3G on the UK orange network for a few days and have been trying to set it up for my personal tastes etc...
The Orange UNIQUE function, is there a way to just have WiFi on or off, not the hybrid thing that orange seem to want you to use. On my previous HTC phone , a Titan, I just stopped GPRS connectivity and used WiFi but with the UNIQUE setup it doesn't seem possible to do this..
The contacts list, is there anyway to show the list with first name FIRST... I have tried to find a option in the setup menus but have not managed it yet..
Most if my contacts are on first name terms.. I know to look for Joe, Fred or Sally but trying to remember the last name or if I just saved as Joe @Garage etc is a pain for me...
Strange but if I view a individual contact, it appears in the correct order, First name first, last name last etc...
Any thoughts, help etc would be appreciated on a otherwise (so far anyway !) very good device..
Thanks Phil-w
The unique thing is bobbins, I contacted orange about it and the lady in customer services basically admitted that it meant I wouldn't be able to use wifi for normal data connections! So I took the plunge and flashed it to standard HTC ROM, all is well now! I would recommend you do the same!
Yeah as jmrenshaw said just flash your phone with htc rom.Those operator roms are blocking many things on the phone.Good luck.
Where can I get the standard ROM from HTC
Hi everyone,
I'm having a nightmare of a time with Orange's changes to the phone. I want to have the phone as it would be if I bought it offline. Please help me with this.
I assume I need to flash the ROM to the standard ROM but where do I get a hold of this and how do I flash the ROM? And would I be able to get back to Orange's setup in case need to warranty purposes?
Any help would be appreaciated.

What you can do is: put first names in "File as" field, then the contact list will display first names. "Files as" will default to last name.

Yes I have seen the thread you suggest, so many thanks however, as I say in my seperate thread - it is not the "reading" of the tutorial but it is the actual carrying out of the advice because of my physical disabilities.

I've managed to do what you want to do by using one of the dumps posted on the forum here and converting that into a ROM and then flashing the phone with that ROM. Its quite straight forward but I guess you're asking if someone can do that for you. Where abouts are you based?

Yes thanks, I am asking if someone will do it for me - sorry if I was vague but get a bit embarrassed! I have to use my mouth to type so using a "Touch" phone is great but when it comes to more intricate and complicated tasks, I am afraid it gets too difficult. I will be happy to pay of course - postage as well as paying for the job to be done. I just want to get rid of the Orange branded software as I find their software is too "fidly" and I also find that normal access to wifi is easier for me when not using Orange's silly "Unique Manager".
I am based in the UK.
EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU
Thanks Azahidi,
Slowly going through all the cantacts entries, pity there is no GLOBAL way to change the name order. (Unless I have missed it !!)

Hi Ziffos,
I didn't quite understand the bit at the end 'EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU'. Does this mean that you've managed to get your phone flashed? If you have then great! If not then I might be able to do it for you. Let me know.
Any help apreciated????
Hello
I have just read all the posts here about the Unique Manager and I completely agree. It is a nightmare, Orange UK have wrecked this phone. I have just got my Mrs. a contract on this phone as I intend to set up sat nav on it for her and I have the touch HD, so off the back of your comments I am looking to flash it.
It is running V1.71 and from reading the thrads I have to revert it back to V1.41, how easy did you find it to debrand it as it appears many people have had problems and I am worried about rendering the phone useless!!!!
I have never done anything like this before but I do understand the instructions as they are very indepth, but I am worried that if any exceptions or problems present themselves I won't be able to deal with it.
How straight forward is this process?
Any help is very much appreciated.
It was a long process but worth it!
Hi there,
I've flashed my phone about 2 weeks ago now and am having a much better experience. Actually I really love the phone now so my advice would be to go for it and flash it. I didn't actually read too many of the comments, I just followed the instructions and did it. Maybe just as well as I might have been put off.
Anyway the process was very long winded as I had to take someone's raw dump and then convert that into a ROM and then flash the phone with it. Took quite a long time but I definitely feel that it was worth it. I don't know how risky it is so can't really advise you on that.
I can send you the ROM file that I did generate if you want do it. I hope it goes as smoothly as it did for me if you do decide to go ahead with it.

for the benefit of people who may be subscribed to this thread, I think I have found a fix for the orange rom using data connection instead of wifi, read on here:-

Hi guys,
New to the forum, tech savy/IT background. I purchased one of these units from China, terrible/zero tech support, but have managed to get it working for the most part: (because I'm a new poster, I can't attach links, but if you search on Amazon: w166 android, that is my unit)
My question is this -- I bought it for the Dashboard app (app that has the speedo/tachy in the link above -- sorry, can't post pictures yet) but the unit did not have it preloaded. The seller claims his engineer updated the OS and the app no longer works, but I don't believe him. I'm trying to find the actual name of said app so I can try and sideload the .apk myself.
I don't see a lot of people looking around these parts for help on the Mercedes Android head units, but here to hopefully change that and offer up help/suggestions.
Thanks!
Hi Guys
I got an Generic Android Head Units, I tried it out and now I want to try different kind of software that is destination for this kind of car radios.
Please suggest me Launchers, FM/AM Radio Software, ADAS, Bluetooth phone answering software, since I want to try different kind if types to see what can be improved on this Android Head Unit.
I also want to construct a list on the XDA Wiki (If it is not already available somewhere else) with the links and screenshots.
Please give me your suggestions and any pointers to similar software lists.
Regards

Personally I like FCC Launcher on play store and support can be found on different thread. You can use the default dialler of the launcher for your phone calls. Am/FM software I now use GMRadio instead of the stock app. You can find this a thread on here. DAB+ app look for Dab-z-player on the play store by Zoulou. Support in a separate thread on here. ADAS I can't advise as it's built into my dash cam.
As far as Navigation software I use sygic and here both on play store. Both don't need data unless you want traffic reports.
Anything else have a nose around the forums.

Thanks for your post. Where did you find that GMRadio, I would also like to try it.
Thanks
Thanks for the feedback
I'm also trying to find a link to GMRadio.
Please, more apps suggestions are welcome.
I'll get the obvious out of the way: HeadUnit Reloaded.
My Joying came with ZLink, it was extremely unstable, I tolerated it for a month until I found HUR. Fixed all my issues

As far as I understand in that thread that app is only for MTCD/E units.
Thanks for the links.
Here goes my first draft for the list. https://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Android_Head_Unit_Software
Please keep sharing more software you know. I will like to explore more "Bluetooth - Sync - Phone Call" software to replace the one I have.

It seem you have missed my radio app for multiple devices NavRadio+:
For MTC units thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...t/dev-navradio-ported-to-mtc-devices-t4048899
For TopWay based units with Allwinner T3,T8 and Intel TS9:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...its/dev-navradio-app-allwinner-units-t4024701
The app is the same for all those devices, it can recognize the device type and adapt its functionalities.
There is a basic free version and a paid version on playstore.

hi,
I tried your version but it's not working with my autoradio "Junsun" Android 10.
I am very interested in your app as I cannot (like the others) install any car launcher as they don't find the radio app (nor the phone app).
Do you plan to also take in charge other material ?
thanks

Oh I have the same question Tried many times but unable to.
I have a unknown assumed Android head unit that I am in need of firmware, and instructions to install it. I took as many pictures as I could, and tried to research old invoices, email, and eBay purchase history to no avail on a model number. There are no markings on the case, the only markings on inside, and have been pictured. I combed Google using text, and images, still nothing. It looks like a tablet PCB soldered to a generic stereo. I am looking to change the firmware in this unit as its current firmware is virtually useless. Any help is appreciated. I am also not opposed to just installing anything that will work then using apps to control the radio hardware, if that is possible.
Well I can't seem to post images, maybe I am just a typical noob. My bad in advance.
If it´s really a RK2928, you should spare your time.
For pictures: You need to have some postings to be allowed to share pictures.
Just upload them to Google, Dropbox or similar and post the link to your pics.

Thank you for the advice. It was purchased by my in-laws back in '17. I was just looking for a project piece. Ill attempt to add the dropbox link here: /sh/ffmd8gvniw0ar3d/AACgeG2zlYeEcI-XpeuSm2UAa?dl=0[/url]
I´ll post the corrected link to your unit, because the forum SW just cuts it off automatically.... https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ffmd8gvniw0ar3d/AACgeG2zlYeEcI-XpeuSm2UAa?dl=0&preview=IMG_0310.jpeg
This is a Win CE unit, from what I can see on the first pic. See the first icon which is the Windows symbol.
Nevertheless.... Nothing to update for this oldie.... at least not at XDA.
Let it RIP or use it as FM radio elsewhere.

Hi, if you see anywhere "build number" search the net for update by this criteria.
