Looking to buy a unit for a 2010 Prius, with factory JBL amp.
Looks my options are a PX5 unit. Most of the units being offering on Aliexpress seem to be units mfg by Klyde. Some of the newer models seem to include an IPS screen. I have the option of purchasing a car play/android auto dongle or getting either (but not both)included in the unit itself. The cost of buying a unit with free shipping seems to be around $30 more then paying for shipping separately. Am I missing something? The only thing I can think of, if the unit has to be returned I doubt my original shipping costs will be refunded. I can purchase up to 4 Gig RAM 64 Gig ROM.
Other option seems to be a unit based on MTK 8227L. Looks like it's only available 2Gig RAM 16 Gig ROM.
My googling suggests the PX5 is the better choice.
Am I missing anything? Is it worth paying an extra few dollars for an IPS screen.
Is klye a decent mfg? Any suggestions on what reseller might make the most sense. Top 1 Multimedia store? Yifoum? AliKD multimedia store? Other resellers seem to have much lower customer ratings.
Thank you for any input. Googling and searching only gets me so far.
Hey there,
for which one did you end up deciding? Are you satisfied?
Cheers,

For US market
Been researching Android headunits for a while now. Trying to find the best value (<$300). On ebay it seems like there are a ton of brandless options for 150-200 but from what I can tell Joying is a 'name brand' in this space. Is it worth spending a little more for one of theirs?
I have my eye on the JY-UL124. Worth $270 with no DVD (don't need) and no included backup camera?
Yeah I have my eye on a few too, but on Amazon. I have read good things about Joying too. I wonder how it compares to Pumpkin and EinCar, those look good too.
I made the mistake of buying one in the 150-200 range. It was listed as having android 4.4.4, quad core 1.6ghz processor and no cd/dvd. I used cpu-z and found it actually had an a7 at 1ghz and said two cores were turned off. I returned it and bought a JY-UL124. They change the prices daily on ebay. I did a best offer and got it for $240 shipped. I should receive it in a couple of weeks.
i have researched this for over a year. Joying seems to be the way to go for USA. Even if for nothing else, they go through Amazon and have a good return policy. The others offer returns, but you have to pay to ship it to wherever.
I have researched this over XDA and Reddit and various forums, everyone gets bad reviews here and there, but Joying seems to get the more positive reviews. RoadNavi and Eonon get good reviews on XDA too, but the return policy seems the best with Joying USA and Doctorman
The Malaysk Firmware is greate !
I use it on a Joying JY-UL124 RK3188 with MTCD 5.1.1
Hi,
I want to get an all-in-one unit for my 04 Saab 9-5 instead of mounting separate gps, hf, radio, mp3, torque etc. devices. Since the only "official" option available here are outdated and overpriced $500+ Kenwood, Parrot et al units (considering that a $200 tablet can do the same things) the only option seems to be to go with stuff from China.
But it's confusing how many options there are and how poorly described and oddly specced they are. Saw some obvious fake "android"s. 512 MB RAM (wtf that already wasn't enough 5 years ago). Heard some units don't have stuff I'd consider automatic in a head unit like RDS or ambient light sensor, but you won't know unless you ask the vendor? I did some research and for a while there I thought I'd go with a unit from Joying ( https:// goo.gl /Qs4rfi ) since I read Sofia had the only usable Bluetooth chip, but now I see Android 6 units and in a nother thread someone said Sofia is old and the new trend is PX5 whatever that is? So what's the best choice at the moment?
I'm looking for a unit under $300 that ships from within the EU like the Joying I linked. Customs and VAT is no joke, +30% to price on orders above 150EUR. I want a unit that is usable out of the box as-is; while I am somewhat tech-savvy and could tinker around with it at least on a software level if I really had to, I have no desire to put in any time to research, flash and test new ROMs, write long scripts etc. Not the type of development I'd enjoy. I expect a (mostly) finished product. Is there such a thing at the moment, or are these devices still underdeveloped?
I know this thread isn't exactly unique, but the other threads are a) older and b) often don't consider EU

hi, i have the same problem, i have Suzuki Swift, Dasaita make nice head unit with 10" displey, which cost after discount cca 370 USD (this discount ends in 1 hour, without discount cost 470 USD), with taxes is the price over 500 USD (600 USD)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Das...uki-Swift-with-Octa-Core-2GB/32804594653.html
plus for Dasaita:
is manufacturer, not reseller
fitts good in my car
minus for Dasaita:
price due taxes, paying taxes over 150 USD
in description they write, that it has only 15 languages, not Czech (not too important for me)
i found reseller with px5 in UK, he has universal head unit, which fitts in my car (7" display)
http://xtrons.co.uk/tb706apl-7-hd-d...ereo-with-screen-mirroring-function-obd2.html
plus for Xtrons:
price £260 (shipping £25) minus discount for new customer 15%
they should send it from UK >> no taxes
it should have 70 languages, Czech too
he has small fan
minus for Xtrons:
only reseller

Thanks, I read your post before, but one of the V600s you recommended is now $320 and the one with the knob (which I like more) does not even ship to Czech Republic. And to ship it to Poland for example would also be $320. I know you can ask the seller to mark the price as lower than it really is for customs reasons, but from what I heard the tax men aren't stupid and if they take a closer look they might recognize it's worth more - and I don't want to end up paying >$400 just because of bad luck.

That looks fine, even though it is a bit over my budget at ~$330. Have to think about if it's still worth it. Why is "only reseller" a con ?

there you can see resellers and manufacturers https://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Hui_Fei_Type#Manufacturers
I except faster updates by manufacturers >> less problems, after install alternative ROM, It should be balanced
Malaysk buyed head unit from Dasaita >> reason to think about HU from Dasaita
on internet you can find some negative coments to Xtrons, but negative coments are always

Ask directly to @hotaudio about the final price with shipping of the knob model to Czech Rep.
I am sure you will get a more convenient price.

Unfortunately, customs officers in the Czech Republic are not total idiots
Idiots or not...there are headunits at 90usd.

Hi,
I have $350 (and some cash if necessary) worth of credit on Amazon and I want to pick up a 10.1" android octacore head unit.
I purchased an Xtrons brand, and I really liked it, had great wireless (at least when connecting to my phone), was fast, sounded good, etc....
Unfortunately the bottom panel buttons stopped working after a week or 2, and I have to send it back...
I was just wondering if there might be a better one than the Xtrons brand?
Thanks!
Whats the differences between the 4 models here?
https://www.joyingauto.eu/double-din-car-radio/10-1-double-din.html?product_list_order=price
... Other than price, obviously.
Also, any other head units around the same price or below people would recommend? Any drastic new things/units/software over the last 12 months in the head unit world?
Hello Guys,
my PX-5 Unit is behaving extremly annoying in the last couple of Months. After a few Minutes, my Sound either stops, is doing knocking noises on full Volume or plainly screams till my ears bleed. I suppose it has something to do with the sound chip loosing contact, when the car heats up, since i can delay it by activating the AC.
Looking for specfic Headunits for my Car, i found two Models
UIS7862 with either 8GB or 4 GB of Ram for 370€ and 260€
UIS 8581 with 4 GB of Ram for 280€
Now my PX-5 Unit with 4 GB of Ram was slow. Google Maps crashed 4/10 times which was really annoying.
Since my PX-5 crashed often on Google Maps and was very slow with Spotify i am guessing that i hadnt enough Ram. Or the PX-5 just sucked.
My Question now is: Are 4GB enough or should i spend the additional Money for the 8 GB Version to be on the safe side?
Thanks in Advance

Of course is more better. But my Question is: Is it worth and necessary to spend 30% more Money for 4 GB of Ram (and Storage, which i dont need).

Yes. You can never have too much of either.
That's just me though; I believe in overkill so you don't regret latter the decision you make today.

That isn't entirely true: this system going be running on same Android for years to come, it's going be very unlikely that you ever going benefit of having 6GB of ram.
Saab Unleashed actually did a review of the base model, and it works totally fine. So why spend that much extra money, if you never going use it?

Faster boot ups at the very least. Don't know about you but I'm tired of slow devices...
Modern phone ram uses very little battery.
If you can $wing it, do it. You can't add it latter and cost is the only downside.
This N10+ is still running on Pie*. Not regretting the 12gb of one bit, it's a nimble beast. It's also noticeably faster than its 8gb of ram counterpart the N10. More is better in real life...
*firmware upgrades, updates? Hell no They are one of the best ways to screw up an Android I know of...

Faster bootup? Do you seriously believe a 6GB headunit boots up faster, then the same spec headunit with 3GB? Don't understand me wrongly: for my phone I would also advocate more RAM is better.
But a head-unit? I think we are mainly sponsoring China's economic, by spending more on these devices than necessary. Personally I would go with the 4GB RAM/64GB Storage unit.
Just I don't know if another € 50 really is justified for this? I can buy the Mekede FYT UIS 7862 3GB/32GB unit for just € 190 including shipping from Poland. The 4GB/64GB unit costs € 240 totally, also ship from Poland.
Now I don't know about the traffic rules in the USA for example, if they are already existing? I heard you can get a driver's license super easy over there.... but in the Netherlands and Germany we very strict traffic rules.
So multitasking on your headunit while driving, could get you an article 5 in the Netherlands. Because you are doing things, that distract you from driving. Which I get me to the point: it needs to run lesser apps than your smartphone, and also you can't multitask to much.
Because multitasking distracts from driving, so you most likely wouldn't be needing so much RAM. As you never going use it as intensive as a smartphone nowadays.

Not much for a smartphone, but for a head-unit it's plenty enough: what are you planning to do with it anyway? Build a rocket ship? I think with PX5 probably the chipset was slow.
You can put as much memory inside a head-unit you want, when the processor isn't fast enough. It ain't going bring your anything.

Yeah larger ram devices tend to boot up faster.

Boot faster up? Are you sure? Did you do a side to side comparison? But anyway, I don't think a head-unit would profit from so much RAM.
But sellers gladly want you to buy the more RAM version, because they earn a lot from that. From € 190 for 3GB/32GB to 6GB/128GB is a price difference of € 100 and the 8GB/128GB isn't even shipped from Poland, but Germany.
But that one is like € 360 totally, that's almost the double amount. I heard UIS 7862 can't even use more than 6GB of RAM, so those 2GB of extra RAM aren't even going be used by the system.

Not with that device never tried it but if you get the 3gb variant you can ponder that while you wait for it to boot. I never regretted getting too much ram but I have more then once regretted too little for whatever reason including no better option.
$50 is chump change for a system. Too little, too late is a bad place to be.
