I've got a 2015 hyundai sonata that just got the update to enable Android Auto.. I have yet to see a thread on here regarding this setup, is it just because they are just now coming out so nobody has been messing with them, or is there no interest in modding these head units? I'd love to be able to customize mine, however, starting that process is way out of my league.. That being said, if someone else is interested, I'd be happy to help in any way I can.
That's a different forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-auto-general
how is this an android auto general forum topic? this forum is for android head units.. the AVN 4.0 system that is in the '15 sonata is android based. therefore, correct forum.
Oh, I see. I'd thought Android Head Units were units that consumers can buy separate from the car.

nothing? wow, that sucks.. If it helps, i've got the update file for the head unit from Hyundai that enables android auto that I can post somewhere/send to someone to play with.. i really just want to be able to mess with my head unit, maybe replace the AA on it with one of the custom AA rom's/apps that are out there such as the one one that is in the other AA thread that allows you to turn your tablet into a head unit.. If anyone has any tips or anything on things I can look into to get this going, I'd be happy to do them. Hell, if you're in the LA area, I'll even bring my car to you to screw around with a bit if that'll help.
I'm no where near LA, but I would love to take a look at the file. With these systems being Android based, I'm sure there is some fun to be had.

Hey, if you still have that file, would you mind sharing it with me. I have a 2015 Kia Sorrento that I really want android auto on.
I am not any type of hacker or reverse engineering person. but If I had the file its a step in the right direction to finding a way to get it installed on my unit.
Hi People,
I have two Android HUs. I have a brand new still in the box Eonon GA6163F and currently have installed a Joying JY-UL128N2. I first purchased the Eonon but have seen so many issues with it's performance so decided to get the Joying but not a fan of how it looks in my car and prefer the Eonon as it was made more the car.
I tired selling the Eonon on eBay but people offered silly low offers.
Is there anyway to upgrade the Eonon to improve performance? I read the thread about upgrading RAM but I don't have the skills for this or know anyone that does. Is there a SOM that I can purchase or silly questions use parts from one with the other?
Thanks for any help

Assuming the EONON is a MTCB/C unit
1. Get the latest 5.1.1 ROM from here
2. Root with Kingo root
3. Enter settings, Apps, ALL tab and disable all Google apps
4. DON'T update Google Maps, newer versions require Google services
5. Get the apks for your preferred apps from an apk repository like apkmirror.com
With these simple steps you will have a 5.1.1 unit as fast as a 4.4 one.

Thanks for the info. So you think the the 1GB Eonon will be around the same speed as the 2GB Joying?
Does anyone know if the Eonon is a MTCB/C unit? I haven't installed or unpacked it so I cannot check.

I've sold a couple of HUs on Craigs List and got my asking price - but these were removed from service, not unopened.
Ive been using android units for years, currently Ive got a 10.1 Joying Sofia unit I want to replace, a JY-UL134N2, im fed up with how quickly Joying abandoned it. Ive had various make and spec units in the past as things have evolved.
Im specifically looking for another double din unit with a 10 inch screen.
Basically Im looking for something with good update support thats PX5 based, 4gb ram and 32gb rom or better.
Ideally something Malaysk compatible too.
Ive read talk about some units now coming with better DSP setups which would be good.
I saw a 10.1 screen version of the ATOTO A6 Pro I liked but their specs like dual bluetooth make me wonder if theyre Malaysk compatible and the hardware specs seem to lag behind with quad core and less ram.
I also read that Dasaita are very good at ongoing support.
I have also been considering the xtrons TE103AP.
Essentially based on the above I would appreciate peoples suggestions as I want to make a purchase soon since my Joying has become problematic.

In that case make sure you get a PX5 MTCE unit - then it will be compatible with the Malaysk or Hal9K roms. If it isn't MTCE you won't have much luck with mods.
Thanks for replying, know any with a 10.1 screen specifically?
Ive been refamiliarising and some of the new intel based airmont ones sound interesting for speed and with dsp but ive only seen the joying unit and im not fond of the type of screen mounting.
Theres also the talk about PX6 units but they seem to be much slower arriving than expected.
This looks like your best bet

Yep thats the one i keep coming back to thanks. Ive got very used to the bigger screen which works very well in a vw T5 dashboard.
Just the advent of airmont items has me distracted, and the idea of a dsp added, but ive lived fine without advanced dsp up until now
However the px5 is apparently the equal or better of sofia 3gr so that would do, especially with malaysk etc vs bloated stock roms.
Yeah I have a PX5 with DSP and the DSP is pretty good - there are ways of adding it to a unit, but it requires some soldering apparently. You could ask Xtrons if they can add it for you. I know some sellers give that option.
Good suggestion, I have sent an email will see if I get a reply.
It must be possible Im guessing the XV8 from androidautoshop is the same unit : https://androidautoshop.com/univers...32gb-entertainment-system.html#/26-map-europe
Im tempted to just commit and buy though sense dictates I should wait and see what PX6 or Airmont stuff comes out soon (maybe).
On that thought does anyone know of any Airmont based double din units with DSP there are with a 10 inch screen (if any) are out yet? (other than the one joying unit being discussed recently).

Yes that one looks the same. Android Auto Shop units also come pre-rooted with Hal9K ROM apparently, and you can get a $25 discount with a link in the Hal9K ROM thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...nt/rom-hal9k-rom-3-mtcd-e-head-units-t3847477
I think that has expired the site doesnt recognise it.
No matter will still consider the purchase.
Never tried hal9k just malaysk some time back before i had the sofia unit.
Well as yet xtrons havent bothered to respond if they could supply one with a DSP fitted.
androidautoshop responded quickly to a couple of emails asking for some details, then frustratingly I found the XV8 is now sold out lol.

Haha of course that would happen! I hope they have stock again soon for you, it really looks like your best option.

Xtrons finally responded, saying their unit isnt dsp compatible.
Meaning really they dont have any equipped units to sell.
Just a follow up, looks like Hal9k is going to do an A9 version for PX6 MTCE units, and the Dasaita Max6 10.2 unit with DSP is a perfect match, so Ill be buying that one soon.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Das...l?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.107e3e5fMUsClN
I sent Dasaita a message asking and they confirmed its MTCE.

I've been looking at this same one. Do you really need a custom rom though with these? I mean... it's a radio..not a phone. Isn't a custom launcher good enough? (assuming we still have root)
They are much, much more than a radio. They are computers akin to decent tablets WITH a radio and amplifier added, essentially the MCU part combined with the system core board.
In the past ive used malaysk on mtcb and mtcd units, then gtx on a sofia unit. Many cusstom roms on phones too for many years. Ive found custom roms are worth it, removing bloat, making them perform better and adding sensible features, ie a lock screen on boot with gtx or more responsive with mslaysk making them safer to use when driving. Or better sound processing, more useability, xposed, gps fixes, bluetooth fixes, rds fixes, and so on the list is quite significant for some devices.
Unfortunately with most resellers, and makers for that matter, little or at least minimum effort goes into the android aspect beyond looks with these stereos. As always the work done by people here at xda bridges the gap to help make significant improvements to some devices.
In my opinion and experience buying these units in stock form are akin to unfinished, it takes a custom rom to make them what they should. Yes theyre improving all the time and i havent experienced dasaita before (their rep for android updates is good) ive most recently wasted my money on a couple of joying units (never again), also consider the likes of hal9k is sponsored by androidautoshop and they actually supply many of their units preinstalled with hal9k instead of stock i believe.
Just bought a head unit from AndroidAutoShop, I can keep you posted on what I think when it arrives and I get it installed.
I too am looking to get a semi future proof 10" double din (or single) HU.
I've been looking at Xtrons, I'll study Dasiata.
Any difference between 8.1 or 9.0?
I will primarily use Android Auto, Assistant & Radio

I looked at Xtrons units, but for my car they only had units with PX30, and I would like something with PX6.
What I have heard, Android 9 is more "smoother" and faster than 8.1. Just an overall improvement I think.
Does DSP affect the ability to use custom ROMs like Malaysk?

Malaysk works on Intel Sofia? Thought it was on RockChip
Just getting into the Android auto scene, and deciding what unit to go with.
Obviously the scene for the px5 units seems a lot more mature, so I'm tempted to go that way. I know everything I touch I end up rooting, so I'm wondering if I should pick up a px5 device instead.
Are people in the scene going with the newer px6's if we have the chance or should we pick up older units?
I have the same question... I have to replace an old (and hacked) PX3 unit (1 g ram is too little for me) But I don't know if buy a PX5 unit or PX6. At the moment I'm really confused. Pro & Cons?
sub'd
I would go PX5, PX5 has community support, sure the PX6 is gaining steam but wait.. I had one of the first PX6 units in NA and it was definitely a work in progress.. It took me a while to gain root and even when I did it was way to new to do much with.. I have it sitting on a shelf till there is more done. I have only been able to root it.. Tried many times to install Malasyk with no avail. I dont have the time with my career to dabble.. I miss doing that.

No question about it. The PX6 is heads and shoulders above the PX5. Faster chips, using less power and much better gpu. If you are looking to be thrifty about it, go with the less expensive Seicane or Doing. If you want the best Android unit go with Dasaita Max6. Cheers!

I went with the max6, got it all rooted and love it! Great unit! I mean, the resolution could use some work, as we all know. But other than that it's great!
I see no problems going with px6. Its just like phones. Yha gotta wait for the support. Or you must really need root..
Hardware mainboard has not changed. Per px3, expect same ported software bugs and hardware issues, with an upgraded processor. Might be more to do with SOM/SOC supply than anything else.
I have a Dasaita PX5 HU, can I buy a PX6 SOM and replace the one in my HU?
does it have to be Dasaita or any SOM is ok? where can i buy one?
thanks!
Good afternoon everyone.
This is my 1st post, so I will try to keep it short and simple.
I would like thank everyone taking their time to read this post.
I just purchased a Used car and I am looking to upgrade the head unit as it comes with the factory one which is very outdated.
I have been searching online for different options but I am always coming across 2 makes, in the OEM style of head units
These makes are: XTRONS and ERISIN
They share some models with many similarities, but I would like a better opinion
Does anyone know if one make is better than the other?¿
I have eyed 2 head units which are pretty much identical in Specs and also in looks
xtrons.com/mercedes-benz-various-android-10-octa-core-4gb-ram-64gb-rom-pbx70m203[/url]
ebay.es/itm/DAB-Autoradio-para-Mercedes-Benz-C-CLK-G-Class-Android-10-0-Carplay-Octa-Core/114324437422?hash=item1a9e4479ae:g:jrAAAOSwzOJfhShs#shpCntId[/url]
Then I had another alternative with a non OEM:
.ebay.es/itm/Pioneer-AVH-Z5200DAB-DAB-Digitalradio-mit-Apple-CarPlay-WebLink-Bluetooth/124333973877?hash=item1cf2e1e175:g:syQAAOSw~w5eRN4v[/url]
Can someone advise me which makes is better or if there is something better on the market?
Much appreciated
