All XDA brothers & sisters, I am looking to purchase a goo Android single din head unit. One with all the features, GPS, Play Store, etc. I am just seeking if anyone has any good suggestions. Thanks

Thanks, I truly appreciate it. I will need to see if Amazon has this one in the U.S. This model is in the U.K. and it says that it can't be shipped to the U.S.

i saw this yesterday, technically single din:

This uses a PX3 processor and not the typical RK3066 or RK3188 which has custom rom/mods support. If OP gets this din with a PX3 processor, then, I don't think, they'll be able to use any of the custom ROMs (Malaysk) and some of the software mods.

Can I get some buying advice? (Coming from MTCB 800x480 (EONON GA2114))

Hey guys,
I currently have: MTCB 800x480 (EONON GA2114)
But it runs on 1gb of ram and is slow even though I have it rooted.
Do I want to upgrade to the Sofia 2GB head unit?
Whatever get, I don't need disc playing options, I just want it to be fast, customization, and able to be rooted.
I like the $200-$300 price point
Just searching the Sofia 2gb models on Amazon though prices range from like $260 - $310 for what appear to be the same model.
I'm just confused on subtle differences and I'd like advice on where to buy and what the best price is?
For example, what's the difference between these two (besides button placement and price):

Thanks!

Hi
i would recommmend to buy a PX5 MTCD rather thn intel Sofia
Even it just has been released the marshmallow version, it couldnt be relaseaed Nougat as intel discountinued the development for this processor.
PX5 is 2GB Ram as well, but octacore and 32GB ROM
The most famous developers for MTCB and MTCD have moved to PX5 , so high support is expected.
The most famous one, Malaysk has moved to hotAudio PX5....so i recommend same manufactureer as well
Additionally, hotaudio has some dicounts on universal units
Your Eonon was 2din universal.
The nissan universal has similar dimensions to the 2Din universal
Check these models below 250USD:
Nissan - universal 176x101 with capaciive buttons - Model HA2100-V600:
https://es.aliexpress.com/store/pro...32805474302.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.AahDCd
Nissan -universal 178x100 with buttons (similar the one currently you have) - Model HA2153-V600:
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...32789102885.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.OrxLBZ
Check your current exact dimensions and ask to @hotaudio if you have further questions.

Where do I find the threads on Malaysk 's PX5 roms?

I think you enjoy paying more....
The two links I supplied to you were below 250usd (one was 238) .... this is 279.
But it is Amazon....of course...
Haha
What do you dont know is that volsmart is not any manufacturer and for getting updates (not rom, but mcu which only should be updated by your manufacturer) you will suffer a little bit more.

Yours with similar buttons was $20 more with shipping. Amazon shipping with prime was free and was 2 day shipping.
I will still be able to put Malasyk's roms on this.
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Malaysk rom for sure...but i was talking about mcu updates. If you are lucky and mcu is branded by any common manufacturer you will be ok...but if it is rare mcu manufacturer....you will be pushing to seller to get updates...
But don't worry it is just the worst scenario ever

I appreciate the direction and insight. What is mcu anyways? Firmware?

I also purchased the Volsmart 006 fire from the above Amazon link. The MCU version is MTCD_KGL_V2. 36_2. KGL means I can use Erinsin Mcu updates instead of waiting on Volsmart to post them correct? Just got the head unit today. So far I'm really happy with my purchase.

You can use any KGL mcu update....as they came for the same manufacturer (and many sellers/retailers/distributors)

pdappcgeek....Did you get any cameras? I want a dvr dask cam and a back up cam along with an OBD2 elm327. What accys did you order if any?

I'm also looking to purchase a good head unit to root and use in my restomod project, It will have bluetooth controlled app for the heather and AC and I really want to use the torque app for the ODB information. Can you guys recommend a good unit? The OP said he purchased the Volsmart? How do you like it? Some of you guys thought it might not be a good purchase for updates, so what's the best recommended units?

I also ordered the Volsmart. It's great! I installed Malasyk rom and updated the MCU the first night. It runs KGL MCU. You can easily find the latest updates for it here on XDA. Many units have different names but are manufactured by the same company. I recommend the PX5 volsmart fire 006 from the previous Amazon link.

I did not order an OBD dongle. I connect my phone to it via Bluetooth and it works fine. I think most of the OBD 2 adapters are the same but have limited experience with that.

Best 1Din Head Unit?

Hey all,
I am currently looking for a head unit for my Renault Clio.
The problem is, that it only has a single din slot and I do not want to modify the dashboard.
Then only one I found was made by joying, but they all have the Intel Sofia CPU. As it is announced dead by Intel and there is barely any support for mods or custom ROMs, I was looking for a PX5 unit.
Does anyone have a recommendation or should I go with the joying unit, even though it has the Intel CPU?
Thanks!

@ikerg Thanks for the link! Unfortunately I should have mentioned that my Clio is from 2004, so this HU won't fit sadly.
I guess I'll have to go with the Joying Unit then?
I mean I don't think that these units are bad, just the fact that they will almost probably never get Android 7 is a bummer.

Buy Joying, FunRover or other?

Hi - I'm unsure which to buy so any advice is really appreciated!
I'm about to buy my first HU and all those I'm looking at have same spec: 8 core 4Gb 64Gb with DSP TDA785
The FunRover has a Spreadtrum SC9853I-IA chip, whereas the others have Rockchip PX5/PX30
Is Joying better in any way than the lesser know brands? Is FunRover respected (they say they have a European warehouse too). Most seem to use PX5 - is it good? Does anyone have any experience with the Spreadtrum?
I'd really appreciate any advice or opinions. I'll post a review once I get my HU.
Thanks!

Neither. Recommend Dasaita.

Thanks. Why are Dasaita better? Better audio/general quality/customer service? They seem to use very similar hardware.
I checked the Dasaita online shop and couldn't find a HU to fit VW Passat B7.

there you go..

Thanks, but I'm looking for a 2 din for 2012 passat.

Stay away from Joying ..

Yes, MTCD/E are all from MTC reference design. There are multiple resellers for each. Dasaita seem to be the best of the bunch in terms of reasonable quality, after sales (careful, multiple resellers).
Head over to the MTCD/E threads for more info. Also read wiki.

Joying Universal Single DIN Unit FYT Based?

Hi,
Im looking at one of these units from Joying for my older Jeep. Curious if these are FYT based or not?
Joying 6.2 Inch Single Din Android Head Unit with Cheapest Price Mirror Function
SKU: EU-Y-UOS04N1-BShip From: EU Warehouse (Only can ship to EU countries, cannot ship to other countries)CPU: SC7731E 1.3G Quad CoreRam:LPDDR4 1GB Rom:EMMC 16GBSupport Bluetooth,WiFi,DVR,OBD2,Back Up Camera
www.joyingauto.com
Does anyone have one of these adjustable screen units? Im looking to buying, the only thing I'm going to use it for is carplay thru a zbox zlink adaptor to play music and take calls. Will the 1GB model work ok for this? I think the specs are quite low, but the zbox Zlink or Carlinkit apps dont require much resources.
I ask if they are FYT because I have a Px3 2gb coreboard lying around, and if this unit is FYT based and I can just plug it in, getting the cheaper 1gb version vs the 4gb 8 octo core at twice the price seems like it would make more sense.
Anyone know?

All Joyings are FYT based.
I can't answer your other questions as I use the unit (4GB/64GB) as it is intended.

interesting. i emailed them to ask if the 1 gig+16gig one is fyt based and they said no.

Well, I guess they know better than I do, but if you look at all the apps: Those are the FYT apps.
Microntec, Topways, Antoto and other manufacturer apps do look different.
I would ask them which firmare you need for this unit, and then I'm very curious which firmware they point you to.
