What 3G/4G dongle should I use? What am I doing wrong??

Hey.
Just bought the PCD76QSFA-B with android 6.0.
I had a Huawei E1820 with a data Sim-card laying around, so i plugged it in the unit, but it didn't work.(checked it on my laptop first, and it worked perfectly)
Do any of you know how to fix this??
Is it because I'm using a wrong dongle? And is a 4G one available anywhere, that is compatible?
Would it help to reset the factory settings on the radio?
Do I need to update the firmware, and where do I do that?
Sorry for all the questions,...
I'm quite new to this Android-head-unit-stuff..
Br, Tagemand.

You are used to a PC where you plug in via USB and the software automatically downloads. With these Android units the software must already be present. So I would send an email to where you purchased and ask them if your 4G stick is compatible and if not, what do they support.
GOOD LUCK!

A-Sure S3 - 5.1.1 Intel head unit KYD - How to root and rom update.

After a lot of time trying to find out more about this unit, I thought I would create a thread and start it off with what I now know.
The unit is similar to the Joying unit, it uses the Intel processor and is non mcd. The manufacture is Kaiyide (KYD) the rom is again similar to the joying but not quite the same.
Passwords are 3368 for the main car settings and 0808 to change launcher. There is a password for something to do with the door locking, which I dont know.
Root is achieved the same way as the joying using the method posted by MMTK84 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69648860&postcount=84&nocache=1&z=8361786322568856
The latest rom is available using the link below, extract the folders and load content into root on on a usb stick put it into the unit and it will auto detect and update.
https://mail.qq.com/cgi-bin/ftnExs_...18440714350f&t=exs_ftn_download&code=0c66ff52
When i installed the rom, I used the apps and boot animation from the latest Joying rom download both have installed correctly. Im unable to load the mcu update as it searches the manufactures info and as its not JY it wont update. If anyone can help with this I would like to try it as the MCU software is a lot older than the Joying. Can this be achieved by editing the build.prop file?
Please add to this thread and edit as necessary. I hope this helps A-Sure unit owners as the information is very difficult to find.

Hi,
Thanks for this post.

Hi Rick,
I'm interested in making this thread too, there seems to be no resources for this unit whatsoever.
Have just purchased an A-sure unit, ball ache trying to figure it all out without a manual. Although, A-Sure have now sent me one.
Have updated the ROM with your help, looks quite a bit different now.
I'm not a developer, more of a meddler, am too old now to take it in like I once did.
Cheers for now,
Alan.

Hi Alan, thank you for adding to the thread! You are quite right there is almost no information available for the A-Sure unit. Fortunately the information can be put together from various threads here on the XDA forum. But having it in one place makes sense.
I know exactly where you are coming from and I am the same more meddler than developer and also a lot older than when i used to install car audio and security for a profession. Im pleased that you found my info useful.
I would very much like to modify the DAB app so that it shows the station logos - or use another one if anyone knows an app that will work.
I have updated the iGO app on my unit - ugh took me a while to get it working. for that you need root access.
Most of the issues are now cured on my unit, I just have a problem with loosing gps when going between apps ie from iGo to poweramp and back (music player - way way better then stock app)
Best regards
Rick.

extract the package then open the first folder / second until you see a group of files, put those onto the fat32 usb stick and then try to update

Hi Rick, I also have a S3 unit of A-Sure (Intel sofia, 1GB, 16GB, WiFi Version). It looks like that A-sure offers currently no updates. I wrote 12 emails with no satisfactory answer to my questions. The system of A-Sure is very bad translated in German and contains many software problems. I would also like to update my system, as you have done it. Unfortunately the download link is offline. Can you put it online again? I have the S3 unit with the physical buttons. This information is based in the MCU, isn´t it? The android System is the same one? Can I set the Android system in German?
Thank you very much.

Pls upload the Firmware. Original link Down

WTF, no answer

Because no one answer here, I tried to update the ROM on myself. I have downloaded the ROM of Joying 20170328 and unpacked. I Have deleted the directory MCU, and the files 0308 STM8UD.BIN and STM8_PROJECT cov.s19 (I read that must be the original of A-Sure). I copy the files on a SD card and put it into the GPS slot. Unit is switched on and the update has started. After 10 minutes, on the screen was: Please remove SD card. I have done it. Nothing happens. Reset. Unit rebooted and has Android further installed. Then black screen. Reset again. Android starts, everything seems to work . In the info bar is in bold red font: MCU and UI do not fit together. Looks stupid ... But ok.
The physical keys work, only the DVD drive does not work. Apparently no driver in the Android system available. TOMTOM can not be installed (here you have to root the device and change the serial number). The translation of Chinese in German is clearly better than in A-Sure, in the radio app the RDS text is also no longer overlapping. More I have not tested yet, I'm glad that I have not shot the device.
I Think, i´m waiting for the offical update of A-Sure (if there will be one, I don´t think so...)
Yes, these were my first experiences.
Whether I would recommend it, I do not know.
Many advantages I have not recognized so far ...

Good news from A-Sure. They have a new firmware, directly to Android 6. No problems with updating, even TOMTOM works without routing and changing the ID...

Good news, thank you.
I have a problem with german text to speech in google navigation.
I tryed also the update to joying, but wifi didn't work.
Is there a download link for the update available?

Upgrade
I have used this upgrade, works perfectly but erases the IGO satnav.
I'd love to know how to put TomTom on this unit instead.
Alan.
My unit is an A Sure AS-S3A3 Picture in my Album, see profile.

I have updated my Asure Opel headunit Type S3OVG.
Before the update the text to speech from google navigation didn't work. There was also an update shown, but updatescreen crashes when opened.
Now, after the update, all seems to work.

I have updated my A-Sure Android 7 Zoll Unit.
All working.

TomTec Head Unit Firmware

Hi All,
Looking for some help please. Trying to fix my friends head unit which had crashed and boots up and cuts off again so guessing an firmware issue.
Problem being is we are having no luck trying to get the latest firmware for the head unit as seller is asking for purchase details but my friend bought it off gumtree.
After spending a few hours on the internet researching this we have both came to the conclusion this is the radio in question: Ebay UK# 372660101740
His did have android 9.0 and looks identical with specs also.
He said model is: 8227L ?
Does anyone know where I can find a download to get this sorted ?
Many Thanks

Update
Hi All,
Finally managed to get the device on long enough to factory reset it which has got the radio back on but its wiped off a few of the apps that were pre-installed including the DAB+.
I have managed to get that reinstalled but its now not detecting the DAB+ box ?
Do I need to install something to get this to work ? - possibly for the USB ports??

Avin PX6 - How do get latest MCU version

Just working on trying to update my Avin. I have managed to get the ID7 update but in my BMW the steering wheel controls and drove controller won't work within android apps like CarPlay and others. I don't know if there is a later or better MCU that will help but I don't know where to find these.
Any pointers?

The latest update broke mine. Play Store no longer works, something to do with SSL.

Did you find any resolution to this? I just did this update and regret doing it now that I've lost my controller in CarPlay. I've been unable to find a way to downgrade it back to before the update.

No I didn't, I never had the controller working even with the old versions, and I still haven't. I don't know how to get it working at all

I had it working in CarPlay, until the ID7 update and it broke it - I've been looking to see if I can find an older image file to rollback to.
my MCU is NBT-HW7-180921

Are you able to extract your MCU or tell me where I can get an update from?

I'm not sure on how to extract it, what MCU Version do you have right now? You said it never worked? I'm working on seeing if I can "rollback" this ID7 Update to hopefully restore the functionality, I have some files and I can report back if it works.

Go to this thread and look a few posts down, you'll see where I asked about my issue:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...sa-bmw-f-series-t3673558/page116#post80161807
Somebody replied with some update files
I updated with the MCU and the px6_20190125.zip and was able to get the iDrive Controller + CarPlay working again. See if it works for you.

Thanks for that but I just realised you are looking at NBT MCU whereas I need CIC as my car is slightly older. However my mcu is the same date as the one in that thread so I wonder if there even is a later one

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Perhaps I will need to wait to get my hands on the unit to see if I can get some further info. For now I will do as you suggested and read through that wiki!

I'm not sure what you are asking. You can open the Bluetooth settings if that's what you want to know.

The thing is, I can connect my phone to the radio unit, but I can't search for Bluetooth devices because there isn't a option for Bluetooth for it in the Android Menu.
Also the car unit doesn't run anything at background, except Maps or music app (only if it's playing something)

2/32g unit?
Thank you for the update. Question please... What do you mean by 2 unit? I have an Allwinner T3p1 k2001 Quadcore 1024x600 screen A23 Android 10 and wondering if I could use your update in case I brick mine while trying to root... Do you know if your update would be compatible with a quad core? Trying hard to find a way to root but cant find my device in twrp and super bummed no one has guided isoking with his rooting desires since I have the exact same model and MCU to the T. I appreciate any guidance you could give. Not sure which Magisk img or twrp would be ok to use for my device, all usb drivers I've tried do not work, and really want root access with Google install capability. Thank you!

These are Allwinner based on the Sunliq platform..Allwinner has locked USB debugging on these units, and there is a formal petition against them for that, they dont play clean with GPL..
Since there is no operational USB debugging, it cannot be rooted or custom recoveried for now..
