Hi naghtan, i am Spanish and I am new in this world. I bought the last month one radio in Aliexpress with Android 4.4.2, and I found some problems in the software.
I am looking for help to introduce in this world and I ask me if you want to speak with me, because I want to know if I can develop or modify these Android softwares.
Thanks you! Regards!
These guys http://www.carjoying.com have warhoueses in EU and in the US to help lower costs and shipping issues. They are probably one of the most popular head unit companies right now as well.

Thanks so much! I found the website thorught google... but dont have the one...
Which are the original manufacturar? Hui Fei? I will send an email to them...
thanks!
I have bought from autopumpkin German warehouse. I am happy with the unit. Their prices seems a little bit better than joying if compared similar specs.
I also bought a Pumpkin last week. Received it within 5 days and off course without import duties as it came from the German wharehouse. Was a little disappointed when I checked the version that it is a MTCC head unit but apparently these can have both 4.4 and 5.1 installed. Reason to go with Pumpkin is that it has modular connections and it has a DAB+ box with a window antenna (almost invisible). Radio reception is excellent and Wifi range as good as my phone.
cons: external mic lead is too short, the radio is way bigger than standard 2-din and I need to cut the fascia for it to fit in.
Witson (or sommething like that) also has a EU warehouse.
Usually the sellers that has the possibility to send within eu mentions this (it os a selling point).
I got mine 2 months ago from a seller that doesn't has a Eu warehouse and I had to go through custom, and the dhl fee was actually higher that the actually taxes....
Therefore the customs taxes is not sommething to worry about. You should focus on getting a quality device from a seller that has a good customer support. Also shipping fee's can be high, so pay attention beacuase some sellers prices can be bigger for same device but free express shipping.
Hi everyone,
I have been reading threads about those android head units for a while and I plan on buying an ownice c500 for my old mercedes w203.
That being said I prefer to wait for an octa core. Ownice's 8 core hu should be out by the end of march at best and price tag will be about 450 euros for the version I want.
What do you guys think of that Skyshadow brand and of their android hu?
Price is decent and so are specs soc is probably an rk3368?

anyone?
If that's truly an exact duplicate of the ownice C500 (I don't see details about the 4G sim, specifically), it's substantially cheaper. Very interested

It's indeed cheaper but I never heard of those hu's so I don't know what to think.

(from AliExpress Android)
Have just ordered this one after much mucking around on here, EBay, Aliexpress
I wanted these specs or 64gb.. Didn't want to wait for it.. Was seemingly good value, seems they do no social media marketing at all and are fairly unknown.. But produce a lot, seems popular in Russia?
From what I've gathered so far, it's an MTCD unit with a PX5. More than likely pretty close to the Ownice units, though there might be some difference in the amplifier and radio/Bluetooth chips

well, we shall see, the seller has been quite helpful so far, hoping for root and eventual custom roms..

Nice feel free to give some feedback when u got your headunit, seems very nice though
YAY! AliExpress finally sent me a notification to say it's shipped, it's been a long wait since I ordered it, though he's been responding to messages, perhaps he has no backup inventory and buys as he goes or something?
so ordered the head unit, DAB+ tuner, OBD2 dongle, wireless video transmitter, little dome camera (found another that may fit tail light so might use this as a front PVR if all goes to plan?)
am vaguely interested in getting a DVB tuner but probably won't..
hoping that with the ISO connection cable to Honda Jazz/Fit connector I ordered separately it will be relatively plug and play like the speaker adapters I bought..
I've ordered this one from skyshadow

hello I have ina Skyshadow Px6 with Android 9 and dsp installed on Jeep Wrangler with amplifier, every now and then no audio is heard, I have to turn off the radio and radio to listen to the audio, what can it be? thanks
Hey everyone,
I've had an AN-21 U for 3 years, and it's time to upgrade. I was wondering if anyone had any input on the "best" head unit out nowadays? I'll need the normal car stuff, GPS, WIFI, USB, fast (quad core I'd assume), OBD2 ( I currently have USB, but I can goto BT), capacitive touch, etc. I don't need DVD or anything else on the front, I'll just USB for everything.
Thanks for the input, I REALLY look forward to seeing how much better these have gotten in the last 3 years.
If you Google search hotaudio dasaita, this unit just release early this month and comes with universal modal and few vehicle specialized modal
I think current trend is MTCD unit with PX5 CPU + 2GB or Intel Sofia CPU + 2GB
In exact same boat as OP.
My AN21u still serves its purpose, but I suspect any of the current generation should noticeably outperform it.
I'm leaning towards the Joying 2GB Sofia models simply because after catching up on these forums for the past few days, it just seems like the most solid and popular.
That being said, the only thing that is holding me back is talk of octa-core units that should be a step up, but so far there doesn't seem to be anything that stands out.
I think I saw mention that Joying will be putting out an octa-core soon, but does anyone have solid information on that?

Have had my new Joying 2GB installed for a couple days now and it's indeed night and day compared to the AN-21 U. There is some tinkering involved, like getting voice calling to work, but the snappiness and increased functionality are substantial. Also, as you can see, the support for this model on these forums is outstanding. I also got $120 for my AN-21 U which I wasn't expecting.
I think right now there are only two options: a PX5 or an Intel Sofia unit.
Awesome thanks for the followup guys. I don't currently have a cell phone (live in the country) so I don't need to worry about the calling. Do you have a link to the unit you bought?
Corpcd- Any advantage on one over the other? Links by chance?
As always, thanks guys.

I think Intel Sofia has better support, there is a post here at xda with tons of owners.
In terms of performance, I'vent seen yet a comparison between the two chipsets, they've got different architectures. But differences are more related to having 2gb RAM instead of the chipset itself, I guess.
Where to buy? Look at units that fit your car model and decide if you buy it from aliexpress (cheaper and long time to arrive home), the brand web or ebay. I'd recommend go for a (most expensive, usually) local reseller, if anyone is available.
Brands: Joying (looks like the most trustable so far), Pumping, Dasaita (hotaudio), Klyde, Xtrons, Erisin.
For me, the best way to get my Joying Sofia was to order from Joying Europe (Germany). Free shipping with DHL to most European countries, delivery is 3-4 days. As I've stated in other threads, I am very happy with the Intel Sofia unit. It feels like a next-gen stereo compared to the 3188 1GB, however I have no idea how it compares to the other new units.

The problem with Joying units is that there are only two for my car model (Skoda-VAG group), one does not have DVD nor SD (not to have SD is a problem, it limits the use of USBs ports, and probably you can´t install Nav software in the USB) and the other one has DVD slot, but it does not have a DVD drive inside! It says: "With no CD/DVD slot, the "Exit" and "DVD" buttons not working", which is a little bit anoying.
But yes, If I could I'd go for an Intel Sofia from Joying from the european warehouse.
Xtrons seems to have an european warehouse also.

I drive a Skoda Fabia I bought the one with the dummy DVD-slot. The buttons work fine (they've been re-labelled to something else, can't remember what right now). The dummy slot itself doesn't bother me.
Edit: I could take a picture for you after work
So something along these lines? https://www.amazon.com/JOYING-Android-Stereo-Navigation-Bluetooth/dp/B01M670UWI

Yeah, that's the one I got (JY-UL135N2). I ordered straight through the Joying web site. They have an 8% off promotion going on till the end of March. Their free shipping is DHL. I ordered on a Friday and received my unit (Toronto, Canada) on Tuesday (with $30 of duties to pay as they listed the value of the radio as a gift worth $80).
What do you think of it so far? A deal breaker for me is the OBD2 problems. I need that, and decent sound quality.

Sound quality seems good to me, and I think the newest ROM addresses ODB2 issues. Don't have an adapter yet so not sure about that. The overall speed and instant on make it a very impressive upgrade from the AN-21 U. Hands free voice calling is pretty cool.
Overall very happy with the upgrade.
Thanks for the input, I went ahead and bought one. For some reason this one is coming from China so it's going to take awhile lol.

Their free shipping option is DHL which took three days from China to Canada. I believe on Joying's US site, they list some units separately as being in the US Warehouse, but they are priced slightly higher.
By the way, I hooked up my generic ODB adapter and Torque is running with no issues.
3 days is pretty quick, I'm in the Missouri so it'll probably next weekend that I receive it and do the install. I can't wait. The lag on this AN-21 U is driving me nuts lol
Well, I stand corrected. I just got an automated call from DHL, should be here Tuesday, lol. Time to start reading the forums...
Don't upgrade to anything. New units will arrive march with octa core. Just now joying release it!
Just wait 1 more month

Hi folks,
I'm replacing a busted factory navigation unit in my 2011 Camry and after reading through these very helpful forums I've more or less settled on Joying, but would like advice on choosing between a TM121N2 or TO139P4. After sending car info and dash pics Joying recommended the PX5-based TO139P4; looking through their site the only other option that fits my fascia seems to be the SoFIA-based TM121N2.
On the surface the TO139P4 would seem to be a better choice (newer design, 9" vs 8", 4gb RAM vs 2gb, Android 8.0 vs 6.0) but I get the impression from the forums that this unit would be harder to customize than the TM121N2 (which I believe will work with the custom ROM posted by gtxaspec - please correct me if I'm wrong).
I don't intend to do any extreme customization, I just want to be able to fix things that don't work as I like then leave it alone. Primary usage is just navigation and music (since in reality 90% of the time my wife drives this car).
All other things being equal, given the choice, which one would you guys choose?
TIA for any advice
you also an choose TO121P2 or TO121P4:
Please read the reviews on amazon regarding Joying after sale service. I would recommend another brand. If your unit broke after 15 days (Joying policy), it will cost you almost double to get it repaired. I am one of the recent victims with TM121N2.

Thanks, somehow I missed seeing TO121P2. I can't find the P4 on their site (at least not in their search) but it does turn up on AliExpress.

Get the P4, I just got it. Works great. Service and support is decent, had no problems. My first joying was defective and they exchanged it, and paid me the cost of shipping it back to them 100%. Firmware updates regularly, what more could you want?
If you see an Intel model, you can special order it from joying in a P4 model, which is what I did. My model is only offered in an Intel N2 model, and they were able to give me the same facia in a P4. Really great.
Thanks for the advice folks, I ended up ordering a TO121P4 and received it today.
Hello everyone , i’ve found this video with a new HU from Ownice, seems a Px5 but with a 8 channel DSP... someone had some info about this guy?
https://youtu.be/7DKrOWICZz0
http://icar.vn/dau-android-ownice-c800-pro-ol-xxxxl/
Interesting, I've been waiting for a few weeks for it to come out. I was going to buy a C500+ but they were announcing a new K3 version coming soon. This looks to have a MTCP MCU I wonder if it's the same as the new DSP Joying unit and if the firmwares will be interchangeable as with MTCD/E units.
I don’t know what kind of DSP is used by joying, but it's the first time I saw an 8 channel in an Android HU, and I think it will come with a totally different hardware
Actually in one video they compare the c800 with the joying with tape on it to hide whose it is. They suggest the joying DSP is inferior (unsurprisingly )
Uh oh, It may almost be that time for me to grab one
Actually the 8 channel thing is probably a "typo". On the official Ownice Vietnamese distributor site it's listed as a 6 channel DSP and goes for roughly 620 CAD.
Ok I take it back I just saw a post on their facebook. It seems there's a pro version with the 8 channel DSP. I hope the pro version still has the IPS screen I couldn't get more than that I'm not on facebook.
There’s someone have tried this unit? Where I can buy it? On AliExpress I’ve found only the 6 channel version...

To buy C800Pro, need separate write to Seller, that: "I whant buy C800Pro (8ch DSP)"
----------------------
P.S> Sellers do not have in free access C800 lot for sale, so I made a request separately. It turns out that this pre-order.
That's correct and if you order from the official Ownice store on Ali it's gonna cost an extra 100USD on top of the K2 High price, Shenzen Burgeon wants 50USD + the K3 High price. I would say there's no need to order the 8 channel DSP unless you are going to use more than 6 channels. If you want video out or Carplay you can request it and pay the extra and save a bit. If you are ordering a unit that comes with a large custom frame you are best request they don't assemble the HU and frame before shipping. You can easily assemble it yourself and it will save you having to wait for a replacement frame. Their packaging is useless and whoever puts the HU in the box is clueless.
