Hi all,
Been doing massive amount of research, even on Russian google translated forums etc.. but I still cannot 100% find for sure what device I have, whether it is MTCB etc... this is the item https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Single-O...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
Ezonetronics can't help, has anyone else got this unit ? I'm confused as in the kernel id etc it mentions demo.
Perhaps someone else knows, what it is exactly? If not no worries. Screenshots attached.

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.
Hi all , just git my self and installed an android head unit , it is a Pumpkin with PX5 for VW Golf MK5.
I really enjoy the change and most of the things are working properly.....
The biggest problem I have is the stock bluetooth/phone app which is ancient.
Looking to get another app for this function and not sure what will work. Must have the ability to show the favourites , contacts with pictures and if it can to sync the contacts with Google. Also if I have multiple numbers on the same contact to show only the default number and not a list with all numbers.
On the actual app if I have 4 numbers on the same contact it will show 4 lines so if I need to scroll down to , let's say V , it's gone take me long time because of all numbers been displayed on separate line.
Right now I am playing with Carwebguru( think that's the name) and working quiet well but still there are a lot of customisation which can't be done.

The bluetooth/phone app is mostly deeply integrated with the rest of the system.
First try to find out what kind of unit you have. If it is an MTCD/E model, you should take a look at the Malaysk and/or HAL9k custom roms for PX5 mtcd/mtce models.
If you have a FYT based unit, there is actually nothing for you (I have a FYT and can't help you further on MTCD/E). All those apps are outdated and "simple".
But your entire list of wishes is most probably not possible.
How can I find if my unit is MTCD/E or FYT. All I know about my unit is that is the lastest model from Pumpkin coming with Android 8 and has PX5 on the name. From what I found I have MCU on the menu qnd that means I have MTCD unit? Sorry but I am very new on this units

Share the exact type of your unit based on its SKU number (like for example SKU: VA0202B)
And share what your settings screen mentions "about this unit"
If that's not enough we have to look at your /system/build.prop
Look like I am lucky........and I have a MTCD/E unit.
When I check on the <About> I get this
Model px5(1024x600)
Android Version 8.0.0
Android security patch level ...............................
Kernel version 4.4.93+ , rocky"hctr930 #343 , Sat Sep 15.........................
Build number px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR15.170623.007 eng.hct.20181011.175413 test-keys

CPu 8core 64bit CPU Coretex-A53 " 1.5G
From this information I should be ok to flash any of the 2 ROM's posted above , right?
Anyway first I will have to try and get the original rom for backup.......................anyway to backup the actula rom instaled or do I need to get in touch with the seller to get the it?

Yes, you can.
You need a firmware from your (re)seller.
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!
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.
