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.

Hello ppl,
I'm going to make a shift dissasembly guide, covering basic tips on how to dissasemble, how to upgrade various components and so on. I will include detailed pictures on how components are linked one to each other and so on.
My question is: what do you people want to see? If there are some of you who want pictures with a specific component, please reply or give me some ideas. I'll open the shift in 1-2 days so please come with suggestions.
Of course, the first 2 points on my agenda will be how to upgrade hdd and ram modules.

Remove the metal covers and take high quality picture of every chipset, where the model and manufacturer can be seen.
If you can identify how the touchscreen is connected (shared) between x86 and arm, that would be cool... we need to know if it is a serial or i2c bus, specially the x86 side.

Some people said that there is no connection between the SD card and SnapVUE. If SnapVUE needs to access the SC card, it may require direct soldering. I wish to see whether it is necessary or possible. Thank you.

I've got the ideea. I've opened a lot of stuff in my life, ranging from pda's to laptops but with the shift i'm a little nervous. Most of the htc devices i've dissasembled had some pretty weird casing connections.
I will also study how the hinges work and if the slide mechanism can be upgraded. Some ppl say it could. I'm also veeerry intrested to see how the display pannel and ram are connected to the x86 side and the ppc side.
I'll get to work in about 6 hours and when I'm done i'll open a new thread with the guide and photos.
can't wait to..
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.
Can someone direct me to where people work with bin files for MCUs? I have seen a post where someone was able to decode from binary to assembly and was able to edit it.
I didn't save this post and now after searching for 3 days, can't find it. I hope it was not deleted by moderators. I don't remember which section of XDA it was.
I need to turn off radar function from can bus and I believe the only way for me to do it is to somehow disable it in MCU communication.
Thank you for any help.

I had a look at it some time go, but abandoned it pretty soon.
User @typos1 wrote a post about MCU mods, where he mentions that a user @Wadzio did quite some things on it and via a few other links is pointing towards a github repository where it is explained.
But that is for mtcd units (and I'm on FYT units. The most important reason I did not want to spend more time on it).
HAL9K also seems to have done it and written about it.
Hope that helps a bit.
Yeah, you ll find it in the MCTD forums.
Guys, thank you so much! I'll try to take a stab at it.

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!

Hi, if you see anywhere "build number" search the net for update by this criteria.
