Eonon car head unit android upgrade - Android Head-Units

Hi.
I have an EONON GF5161F running Android 4.4.4. Rockchip RK3188.
Is there a way to upgrade the Android to a newer version? I want to run Tomtom Go on it but Google Play says it is incompatible. Tomtom seem to think it IS compatible.
I would love to upgrade it.
I am running Sygic but I don't like it. Hope someone can help.

Anyone?

Install it without using google play. Do a search for tomtom apk

You have a Sofia unit. That unit is running Android 6.0.1. That does not support phones with Android 8.x. There is no firmware that will help you.
You should better take a look at HUR: Head Unit Reloaded. It is made by an XDA developer.

What info? From the supplier or the website or on your unit?
I don't see that from your images.
Also: A Sofia running on android 8.0? That would be the first that I know of (but I don't know everything , not by far )
Your 2nd image shows a Bluetooth version of 6.0.1.-23. That version is not correct, but is shows Android 6.0.1 with some kernel version.
Anyway: Even if your Sofia is running Android 8, there is no (custom) firmware available that will allow it to pair with an android phone on 8.x or newer.
Thank you for the explanation surfer.
That means i cannot install any of the firmware on this forum?

Probably not. Maybe you can install the gtxaspec custom rom, but only if your funrover is 100% identical with a Joying Sofia (which is possible).
Normally there is a fyt.prop where the company is defined. For Joying that id is 43. So even if you use that custom rom, you first need to change the id in the custom ROM to the Funrover id, otherwise your MCU will give problems.
And even in that case: your android phone 8 will still not be supported in Android auto/Easyconnected.
So my advice: Don't even try that route as you will not have any support.
Go for HUR like I advised in my first post.

[AvinUSA] How can I upgrade my PX6 head unit from Android 9 to Android 10?

I have the Avin AVANT 4 Multimedia Navigation System for BMW X5 E53 PX6 head unit that came preloaded with Android 9. I'm hoping to upgrade to Android 10 but their customer support agent said that's not possible. It has to be possible, right?
I spent some time trying to flash the PX6 Android 10 image from ibus-app.de, but to no avail. The device detects the update.zip on my USB drive and asks to install, but when it reboots and starts loading from recovery mode, it fails with a Status 7 error.
Does anyone know if I can update this with newer firmware? If not, can I flash a different OS on there? I imagine this is a noob question but I can't seem to find much about the AVIN Avant 4 head unit.
The unit can run 10 as it is listed on the site as such:
Please choose CPU platform
PX30 | 2GB RAM | 16GB ROM | 4-core CPU | Android 10 (LHD Only)
PX6 | 4GB RAM | 64GB ROM | 6-core CPU | Android 10 + $49.99

Pretty sure it is the same as my Avant4 for my e39 which came with Android 10 out of the box.

It is very easy. What you need is this app - Mod Installer PRO. Of course like with any other mod, you need to ensure your MCU is MTCD, MTCE or MTCP.
My unit came with 10. What does that mod Pro actually do? Install a generic Android 10?

It can run Android 10. Their Android 9/10 PX6 units are physically identical. I was told as much by customer "support," and updating is theoretically as easy as following their instructions/installing their upgrade files.
The problem is that AVIN is a pretty shady company and wants to sell you a new head unit rather than let you upgrade the OS. Even if was just days before they launch the new OS version, if you bought the Android 9 unit, you're stuck with Android 9 for no other reason than because... well... if you want their official build of Android 10 badly enough, they think you'll pay another $450+ for it. Ask me how I know.
Yikes.
I could have sworn my unit was running Android 10, but now I am not sure. As soon as I get the car back from the mechanic, I'll check. If it is, I have various MCU and software upgrade files I can share.

Oh sorry, thought you wanted to upgrade from previous version to 10. Essentially this app allows you to upgrade or downgrade your Android OS.
For example, I got it to downgrade my Dasaita PX30 unit from version 10 to 9 in order to install Malaysk mod.

That would be fantastic. I purchased my PX6 E46 Avin Avant 4 unit just before they released the Android 10 version, and they’ll only give me the files for Android 9. I’d be very interested and would greatly appreciate it!
Sorry to bump, but were you able to check on that Kjricker? Would be great to get on the factory instance of android 10.

I'll bump this one more time as well. Did you find out which version you have?

Dasaita px3 head unit running Android 7.1.2

Any suggestions?
Also I would like to know if there is anyway to update to a newer version of Android and in case I can update.

iDrive not working in Apple CarPlay mode

Hello everyone,
I recently installed an Android headunit in my car, and everything was working fine until I updated the autokit app for my Apple CarPlay dongle. Since then, my non-original iDrive no longer works when I switch to Apple CarPlay mode. The button works fine in the Android interface, but as soon as I switch to CarPlay, it stops working.
I've tried reinstalling the autokit app, as well as installing an older version, but the problem persists. I also did a factory reset of the headunit, but now I'm experiencing a black screen when I try to switch to the Bluetooth app in the Android interface.
Here are the specs of my headunit:
MCUVer: 615043bALS-CIC-HW7-200504[B1280] FrameworkVer: 9 PQ2A.190305.002 eng.work2.20201208.100955 AndroidVer: 9 APPVer: 2020123102T_1280x480_970 Nandflash: 35,48/64,00G RAM: 4G UUID: 010E6A88-3BFD-00B6-0000-000100001A88
I've been trying to find a firmware file (MCU) for my headunit, but I haven't been able to locate one. If anyone has any suggestions for where I can find the firmware or has any ideas on how to fix my iDrive button issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Ok so I wrote the developer of the Android Kit app, they send me an outdated App Version of 2019 from April to Downgrade the APP, I installed the Downgrade and now the Idrive is working again , I'm sure their is a bug in the newest Version of this app so be carefully upgrading to the newest Version! You can stay at the older one, it's no difference. I just have the Problem with my Bluetooth connection because of this upgrade... I'm sure I have to update the MCU Firmware of my Headunit to fix this problem but I'm not finding any good version for my PX6.
