Hello everyone, first post so please go easy on me.
I have an accord 7th gen with dual A/C and I'm on the fence between a couple of android head units.
1. Klyde unit with a Rockchip PX5 Cortex A53, 8-core and 2G DDR3, and 32GB ROM running Android 6.0.1
or
2. a generic brand unit with a R16 1.6 GHz Quad-core CPU, Mali-400MP4 Quad-core GPU, 2G DDR3, and 32GB ROM running Android 6.0.1
To be honest, pretty sure both units are going to end up being manufactured by same company, guess I am mostly wondering if the processors will make a big difference in everyday performance? this will be replacing my stock radio.
Also to consider is that the quad core will end up costing around $282, but seller is a bit iffy and 8-core processor will cost $450 but seller has a much better reputation.
Thanks!
Does anyone help here anymore or is this basically a dead site for head units ?

Hi,
I am looking for a new Android HU for my Toyota Innova Crysta. I have almost zeroed in on Joying[JOYING NEWEST RAM 2GB ROM 32GB FACTORY CD PLAYER REPLACEMENT NEW ANDROID 5.1.1 LOLLIPOP SYSTEM PIP AUTO RADIO 7 INCH DOUBLE 2 DIN HD 1024*600 RESOLUTION HEAD UNIT UNIVERSAL CAR GPS RADIO BLUETOOTH 4.0 WIFI MIRROR LINK ENTERTAINMENT MULTIMEDIA SUPPORT OBD2] model.
However, while checking on the Processor, which is the Intel Atom 3GR SoFIA quad core processor, I was shocked to read that Intel has completely stopped production of these. Although the specs of the Joying box are quite appealing, when compared to the price/specs of other models based on Rockchip RK3188 processor, when comparing to the SoFIA Processor specs, it seems they are maxed out. Have the esteemed members of this forum come across Intel SoFIA based HUs? How do they rate performance wise, as compared to say a Rockchip RK3188 based unit? The Joying box specs do mention that rooting is possible. But after coming to know that it is no longer in production, I am wondering how much of a help rooting would be, if community support for the processor is no longer there.
Thanks in advance for your valuable feedback.
Cheers,
Ajay.
these are brand new, so not really much of a review out
I think I found what I am looking for in another thread. Sorry for a separate thread. Mods may choose this thread. Thank you.

Hi everyone,
I just bought this unit which uses the px3 board but has 2gb of RAM from pumpkin in the hopes that it will either be fast enough or at least upgradable to the px5 unit.
While it is plenty fast especially compared to my previous mtcb head unit I still notice some slowdown particularly when calculating routes for google maps, and using google now to actually convert my speech to text.
I was wondering if anyone has any idea if these units can still be upgraded to the PX5 boards to get me running an octa-core system instead of a quad core.
I asked the cust. service rep from autopumpkin who assured me that it's not possible but I don't know how much I trust her information.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi, last year i have bought HU with following specification:
SYSTEM (Android 6.0.1) 1GB/16GB
Allwinner QUAD-CORE T3 p3,
Mali-400MP2 .
Unfortunatelly it turns out horribly slow - I have rooted it and tried to speed it up, but without success.
Now I'm considering to buy another one (cheap), I need HU to normal use (google maps + music app + radar warning application) .
Here are my selections:
Android 8.1 1GB/16GB
quad-core T3 K2001M
GPU: Mali-600MP4
Android 8.1 1GB/16GB
quad-core MT8227L "1.3-1.5"
GPU: Mali-600MP4
Most units which I'm interested have these two processors some have also 2GB RAM. Which is better selection? Maybe i should choose someting with 8-core or 2GB ram?
Regards.
The processor is not the only thing that affects the speed, the amount of RAM matters too. Everything you listed has a gig of RAM, that is just too low for today's Android with all the services running in the background. Look for something with at least 2 GB, 4 would be better. The processors you're looking at are no powerhouses either. First they're all 32 bit and very obsolete. Also Allwinner is barely a decent processor for the money. Something from Rockchip or Intel would cost a bit more but you'd get more enjoyment out of it. If you have to keep it cheap maybe a PX30 with at least 2 GB RAM would be a good choice.

The man is completely right. Nothing with 1GB will perform.
2GB is enough. 4 GB is better.
I agree that 1GB is not enough for todays Android, but this is still car device, not phone. I don't really want to spend lot of money . How about this ?
OS: Android 8.1 Go 1GB/16GB
CPU: Intel 8-core 1.872GHz Intel IA processor
GPU: with Mali-T820 8-core GPU
OS: Android 8.1 2GB/32GB (i think they will be able to install GO version too.)
CPU: High quality MT8227L Quad-core 1.3-1.5 GHz Cortex-A7 processor
GPU: with Mali-600MP4 Quad-core GPU
both fit to my limit 150 $ .

a bit stubborn? The first is 1GB. If 2 persons advise to go for at least 2GB: what more advise do you need? If you had searched this forum in advance, you would have seen that everybody advises against 1 GB.
choose and suffer, or choose and enjoy.
That's a really low budget. A $150 will buy you a nice Pioneer or Kenwood traditional stereo or if you want more features get a cheapie Dual or other low end brand. At any rate you will enjoy your choice better then. Those Chinese Android radios have always been a bit of a kludge. It's only in the last couple years that they've been getting almost decent and that's from having a proper amount of RAM and better processors. The one thing that hasn't improved is build quality, they work ok but there's no telling for how long. OTH they're a lot of fun if you can afford it.
The second option you listed is definitely low end but might work good enough. Like Surfer63 said do your research! Don't expect someone else to tell you what to buy. For that HU you can start here. On that first page there's a link to 4PDA too.
Believe me 150$ for car radio is quite a lot in my country To be honest initially I thought 100$ will be enough for my modest needs... I know 4pda I have studied most topics regarding Allwinner and partially this mentioned above . I have some experience with such devices (with 1) I could try to flash it but I have no time for that. In the mean time I have found that there are HU which are fitted to car steering panel better than universal one so decided to buy another. I did not expect that someone tell me what should I buy, however all yours remarks are very valuable for me. Ok I'll read a bit more and buy something, and maybe give some feedback.
Hey I bought my first Android head unit for 2 month ago a Joying 10.1" IPS 1280*720 Android 8.1 4GB ram Intel octa core 1.8ghz SC9853i, I´m very happy for this headunit it works really great but I have some issues that annoy me a lot.
The speed of the android system on the joying unit is slow compared to my old Asus Nexus 7 2013 tablet, I had some greater expectation of performance because of the Intel octa core CPU 1.8 ghz, but maybe I have misunderstood something
Do any of you know if you can somehow tune up the reaction speed, the device feels slow compared to my old tablet ... Could I install another version of android that might make better use of the hardware?
Best regards Stig
I am having the same issue. Also, I am unable to run new TomTom Go navigation on the Joying radio.
I can't find much info on the web about the GA2180A (Android 10, CPU: MTK 8227L 1.2GHz ARM A7 Quad Core, RAM: 2GB, ROM: 32GB) but it has CarPlay built in which is good so I don't need to buy a separate dongle - does anyone have this unit and think it's ok as I am thinking of buying.
I could alternatively get the Eonon GA2186 which has a faster chip (Android 10, CPU: Rockchip PX30 1.5GH Cortex A35 Quad Core; RAM: 2GB; ROM: 32GB) but without CarPlay, so would need to add the extra cost for the dongle, i'm not sure if it is worth it .
Going by the above specs how much faster/better would you think the GA2186 unit would be than the GA2180A ?
Or presumably an Xtrons with a car play dongle would be reasonably faster and still cheaper than both of the above
XTRONS 7" Android 10 Double Din Car Stereo Bluetooth, PX5 Octa Core, 4GB RAM, 32GB RAM
Thanks
