Hi guys, new here and to the scene in general, so I'd appreciate your patience
Just bought some cheap Chinese head unit with android 9.1, and I'm wondering if I can upgrade/change the look of it.
For one, I cannot move/customize any icons on the main screen in the current unit. But I'm not familiar with rom changing, nor I understand if it will also affect my car's connectivity with the system (which is currently good).
Appreciate the help!

Hello to everyone,
I’m looking for a new android unit.
Im looking for something that’s not expensive too much something like 150-250$ and with a full control on audio system, sub,mid,high and etc.
Thank you!!
Hello people
Last year (2019) I purchased a Pioneer AVIC-Z710DAB head unit for my car. After realizing that the maps on the GPS are very old and awfully expensive to update, I really want to root the device and install an Android- or Linux based custom rom. Obviously I do not want to install a custom rom that does not provide equal functionality to the Pioneer system, but I don't want to keep the Pioneer system any longer as the GPS functionality is useless with old maps and the also old available updated maps are $150. I realize that the rooting and installation of a new system will require some time / work, but this does not matter a long as it's possible to do it!
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as custom roms that support functionality such as Bluetooth mobile devices, GPS, DVD / CD / MP3 discs, DAB+ and rear view camera etc?
Where can I find this rom and installation instructions? I have searched online for hours, but so far I have only found one page containing broken links.
As I am a new member on this forum, I cannot share this link in this post. But the page title is "The AVIC development MOD", from around 2016 and all links are broken / not working.
Any information is highly appreciated!
Best regards,
The norwegian guy
You won´t find anything...
Custom ROM will not be shared in here. There is no community for it.
Nearly all Pioneer head units have a proprietary OS. It seems to be android based.

Hello. Still have not tried the link I was given by rigattoni, but I was wondering if anyone has any update on this?
I am now considering to buy a new head unit with Android OS. but this seems like a risk. Most of the ones I have seen are to me previously unknown Chinese brands and I do not trust any Pioneer head units with Android OS to work with Google maps and/or Waze amongst other apps!
- Is there any way to replace the OS of a Pioneer unit with Android OS with working standard Android apps and Google Play?
- If not; Are the Chinese head units with Android OS any good? Example brands are Erisin and Eonon, which seem to come with Android 10.
Thank you in advance!
Hi, have y'all seen this info/forum yet? It refers to information regarding development for the Pioneer head unit(s) OP was asking about. Edit: Going back over, I see OP specifically mentions this forum. Well thank you

hi friends, i changed my stereo in the car, before i had an mctd and i had no problem changing android, but now i read this model and i see that no one develops, why? can i change mcu? what exactly is this mcu?
I would like to change android, now I have 9 but the rom I don't like what do you recommend?
...not Android Auto.
In response to your questions: these are an obscure model for which there isn't any active development. They're also really buggy.
Have a think about buying a MTCD and being happy with the bugs, replacing with a certified Android Auto head unit or developing your own ROM.
ops sorry , move in Android Head Units ?

Get rid of it. Unless it is an MTCx unit, there is little point in investing time or money.
Hi all. I inherited an Android Head Unit, and would like to learn about how to stay on top of firmware updates as the need arises. I'v done a good amount of searching, and I could use some help. In particular, It seems to be running an MCU that I cant find much reference to. The software that it is running is MTCE_AW_3.75b_1. This is a PX6 (1280x720) model running Android 10.
I'm willing to do the legwork to figure this out, but was hoping that some of you may be able to set me off on the right track. Thanks in advance.

What you need is the Malaysk MOD - it's the one package that'll do magic for your head unit.
Hi, I’m hoping somebody here has a lot more knowledge about this than I do I have an android headunit fitted in my 2012 evoque , I’ve attached a photo of the system information screen. It’s a few years old now and I’d like to update it to a newer software or have the launcher that comes with the new version.. I’m also open to suggestions for mods/hacks/improvements if anybody has any! Thanks in advance and if you need anymore info on the unit let me know
