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!

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.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read!
I have a GA9203NB from Eonon. This is a 10.25" head unit with 2GB of RAM for a BMW.
I don't know if all the builders of this kind of head units are like Eonon, but at Eonon no updates, no support (if not a guy on Messenger that tells you to wait, probably for life...)
In short, apart from casse and translation problems, I have a problem on my screen (probably due to the ROM modified to the wild by Eonon), indeed, the icons "home", "multitasking" and "return" are white. On a black screen, no problem ... However, as soon as the application is in white background (Play Store for example) the icons are invisible ... It's embarrassing.
I would like to know if I can modify the ROM by one that would have been designed by a person who knows how to do a minimum of computer programming. But if this is impossible, I would like to know if there is a method to work around this problem.
(If I don't say nonsense, the processor is a rk3399)
Thanks Xda
Sylvain.

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.
Hi, I accidently delete my EasyConnection apk on my headunit.
Unfortunately I can not find it on any website...Plz help
Deleting Easyconnection probably did yourself a favor, but it's not Android Auto - requested moderator move to Android head units.
Ps. No one knows what your unit is without posting details. Also, contact your reseller first if this stuff is hard.
