Hi, I know personally from experience and reading thousands of posts over the years that it doesnt matter what 'brand name' a unit is but it's manufacturer.
That said my friend has asked me to help fix his head unit, which is possibly bricked. It lights up etc and blinks on reset, but what ever method or combination I try it stays the same. Unfortunatly there's no way to see the device specs with a dead? blank screen to know what to flash with.
Ive had it apart and its a PX3 Rockchip 3188 but that's all I can tell. From searching a identical model, shape style etc, it could well have been sold under the erisin brand. But as its a few years old, my friend has no idea which 'bay seller he bought from to ask.
I've downloaded the latest ver RC factory tool, but before I screw around, I thought best to ask advice before making things worse.
Question is, is there any way to better identify the make from looking at components inside so I know which mcu to try?
Or is there any 'universal' software that could identify the unit from its current state.
The unit is out of car, on the bench.
Thanks
Is there anyway to find out what firmware this device uses please
Update:
After much searching and checking I've found a little bit of info that may help me identify which manufacture made it and what firmware is needed.
The unit is branded Erisin. Model no is ES4848V. It is a PX3 quad core with 2gb / 16gb memory.
If anyone has or had this unit please let me know mcu / firmware info.

A new unit was just released for the 2004-2008 Acura TSX, which is a first as removal of the stock radio removes the dual zone climate controls as well. This is an awesome surprise for the TSX community, as before we were stuck with a god awful replacement for the stock CC system if we wanted to use a double din.
Anyhow, I've reached out to E-Tong and a representative sent me some images of the About Device screen. I was hoping the community here might shed some information based on what little info I have.
This is the unit in particular:

Now I'm assuming this has an Intel Sofia 3GR, particularly the Atom x3-C3200RK, as no 3G connectivity is listed for the unit outside of "support 3G dongle". I'm basing this on the Mali-450, lack of native 3G support, and 3200 in "Machine Code Response". Other than that, I'm guessing.
Assuming I'm correct, would the Sofia 3GR with 1GB RAM on 6.0 be adequate for Pandora/Spotify and Waze? I have no real other desired usage outside of that and rare bluetooth calls, with maybe the exception of playing some movie files for my kids on long road trips via a USB drive.
If so, anything to be aware of up front? I'm assuming I should be prepared to remove the unit cover and add a heatsink and fan assembly to the SoC package already. Suggested mods or tweaks?
Any and all information appreciated. I'll be relaying this information to my TSX forums as well. Thanks everyone!
Anyone have any insight?
Hey there, i just bought a radio from aliexpress for my 2003-2007 honda accord and all my info lines up with yours. I was wondering if you found out any information on it? Do you know the firmware to use to update the MCU? Thanks!
** EDIT if you care still lol
Are unit is joying software. If you look on their forum you can find a screen shot that matches ours. I ran that update and ran the root for joying devices from here and it worked great. I got viper4android installed and got some custom mods installed and it's working great.

I am thinking of buying this unit, how is it in your TSX? I currently have a non-nav TSX so I don't know if I will need to mess with the wiring harness or not.
Any help?
I have the same unit, and the clock and GPS doesn't work anymore. I wanted to reset to factory or try and upgrade it. I have it in my TSX now.
Can you advise any suggestions or recommendations?
On every start up the time goes back to 2013, 11:00pm. The only way to fix it, is go find a wifi, since GPS doesnt work.
I tried contacting XEOWYN, with no luck. I regret buying this.

Might be a long shot, but I'm having issues with my unit and would like to try and update the firmware and/or software. I'm currently on android 6.0, been seeing the newer models are on android 8.1. I tried searching through the joying forum as you suggested with no success.... Is there any possible way that you could lead me to a specific solution? Thank you for your time and good day to you.
Got the same device, but still on Android 5.
Joying firmware gets looped on MCU update, if I remove the folder with MCUs and the update binary, it stops with "OTA package and app package need to be updated at the same time"
Any advice?
I cannot for the life of me figure out what type of head unit this is or it's manufacturer. In MCU version it says: 2018.05.29 18:59:52 KET_[R76DK3]__26_C26D_STM32_CAN(All)_AMP
Under build number I see px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007 eng.bsp.20181228.122841 test-keys
I am also wondering if this would be compatible with say Hal9k's ROM's as the current ROM is rather sluggish (despite having 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM). Any help would be amazing and if someone has any info on cross-compatibility with other MCU's that would also be cool. If not, I will be getting an MCU from manufacturer for backup and just try to flash other MCU's. Really wish I had bought a different HU now as this one seems like it's quite out of the ordinary. Only info I could find was on the russian 4pda forum and some french forum. Unfortunately I don't speak Russian and my French is rather bad, at best
:laugh:
Like I said, any help is appreciated. I've attached pictures from my "About machine" page but I've also written it here in plain text in case there are others searching for the same thing.
I would also like to add that my seller (on aliexpress) claims that this is a MTCE unit, yet it doesn't say MTCE anywhere in the MCU version. He also claims the manufacturer is AT (which I've never heard of and can't really find any information).
Like I said before, any info is appreciated.
Edit: This might be similar? https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...d-units/unable-to-identify-mcu-version-t39271
i have same problem. same mcu of mine, What did you end up doing?
I get one update today, i try it and later i will tell you
any update on this?
Any update? I don't have the same one, but I bought something that was supposed to be a MTCE device but isn't!
I am wondering if there's a way to tell if I took it apart, I can easily remove mine in my vehicle and if it would help I could take it apart but I would need to know what to look for to tell what type of head unit it is since the firmware / system info doesn't tell us anything.
I am having the same problems. I have the same hu and there is nothing. I contacted the vendor and they said that they will work with me but nothing from them so far.
Hi guys, I'm sure there's something around somewhere but my google fu is currently letting me down.
I've recently bought a PSD50WRJL from XTRONS (Android 10 head unit shaped to fit some older Jeeps) has anyone seen any custom roms for this head unit?
Is it an MTCD type? Have a read through, its unlikely anyone can answer your question as xtrons are a reseller. Model numbers are mostly meaningless. Your MCU version will either reveal or provide a hint to who manufactured you unit, the type and if a custom ROM is available.
Don't panic, nearly everyone makes the mistake of thinking that the model number identifies the unit. Take some time to read up.

How can I tell what type it is?
I've also seen it called alps FF-5000
I've read further on MTC(B/C/D/E) and I'm not sure that this head unit fits any category. My MCU is: TS907.190518(W)
Hi I have the same headunit XTRONS PSD50WRJL. I'm using Erisin ES364 USB box with DAB Z APP but I'm encountering serious problems in hearing DAB stations .... Any idea ?
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a used 2010 Prius with an android HU. It's unbranded (noname) and pretty weak (1gb ram). I could live with the android performance issues but the microphone is driving me crazy. Nobody can hear what i'm saying. The unit has an external mic and i wanted to upgrade it to a different one but for some reason, the mic that's connected to the HU has 5 wires (last picture) and the one i ordered only 2 (mono jack). There's also no mic jack. Here are my questions:
1. Is there a way to connect a different mono mic?
2. Does anyone have any idea what unit this is and where i can find a wiring diagram?
3. Can you recommend a better unit? I like the ones that look more like stock, with physical buttons.
4. Any known fix for the error in the picture? "Software has not been authorized legally" when trying to use Easyconnect to mirror my phone.
I need any info i can get, you don't have to have all the answers
Thanks!
I googled "Sp9853i_1h10_vmm" (taken from one of your photos). Turned up quite a few results. I have not had experience with that particular unit but maybe might turn up some useful information for you perhaps.
Not an MTCD, requesting mod moves to [Android Head units] forum.

Thanks for the reply. I've done that first the problem is there are multiple manufacturers with multiple configurations. I contacted Seicane and am still in the process of identifying the unit/software with them but the back and forth is pretty slow..
This is not your "standard" moddable unit, I'm afraid. Most information here and on forums like 4PDA is on units based on 2 main technologies:
1. 8227L Mediatek, system: YT921xx
2. Rockchip PX3, PX5, PX6, PX30 based on MTCx chip.
By having a quick look at what you got, the mic is the least of your problems. These units are packed with so called features but need considerable hardware and software modding to make them work and even excel.
Here is an example of one such modded units, started off as cheap £70 Android, and ended up performing on par with luxury Android units. The video shows the mods, just to give you an understanding.
To save you time, invest in a Dasaita MTCE unit as that one requires least mods to perform well. You can find them for around £200 on AliExpress. Good luck!
Thanks for the info. I'll look into one of the PX chips and go for dasaita.
so i've found a single Dasaita unit for Prius G3 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001625066855.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.20fa2e0eCiCqeA
The problem is i can't find this model on Dasaita website or store and i'm not sure it's real. I've emailed Dasaita but no reply..
There are multiple units from diferent brands (Ownice, Wondefoo..). Can i go for one of those? What should i look for?
Some sellers list the "K6 plus" version as the top of the line. Should i still go for PX6 or is that better?
Hi All, first post,
1. I did a search on google and XDA for key info I obtained from the unit, no luck.
2. The unit resembles this unit - but mine is 10.1 Inch but the interface and apps are basically identical to this unit.
- https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/TS18-9inch-4G-2din-Car-Radio_1600324427529.html
3. Also, unit is Android 10, which is quite old, if upgradeable, would it make a difference to the look and feel?
I tried using the supplier / installer but he is not forthcoming with info, not sure why so hoping someone can point me in the direction, the unit has a mold that fits my Toyota Rav4 2017.
The goal is, to find out how to update the bluetooth / phone app (it sucks) as a starting point.
finally, here are some pics of the unit pre-install and hardware info in settings.
Thanks in advance

Well... don´t even think that you would be able to upgrade Android to a newer one. It´s already the current actual Android version.
You really should blame the vendor that BT is a mess. That is nothing the forum can help with. Your MCU is special for Toyota and you won´t find a matching update for your special unit.
Go back to the seller and ask for an update otherwise you open a dispute on Alibaba. This is the one and only way to get them start working.
Sorry, but these special units with this MCU, that is not easy going.

Thanks Rigattoni,
this explains why I couldn't find anything really while searching a few hours yesterday.
Thanks for the info!!
