So i have posted several times on this board about my various Joying units, and I have a thread about my Seicane:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...cane-10-1-inch-android-6-0-head-unit-t3656383
However it lacked the Dormancy that Joying had and the sound wasn't great on it. So I decided to pick up a @hotaudio unit, in particular this one:
Dasaita 10.2" Android 6.0 Car GPS Player for Jeep Wrangler
I got it in the mail on Tuesday, I made an unboxing video here:
https://youtu.be/z1v2t8cSNvc
I also have it installed, that video isn't up yet. But so far so good, it seems to take most of the best features of the Joying and Seicane and mesh them together. It is also a PX5 MTCD, so it has a lot of MTCD like features that my original Joying had, so it is like a bit of nostalgia for me. However thanks to the Octacore and 2GB of RAM, it doesn't have the slowness of my original 1GB of RAM Joying unit.
How is the fit and finish of this unit when installed? I have the Joying 6.2 2GB Sofia unit and love it. Sounds WAYYYY better than that stock crap I had. Interested in this one though. Does it work with all apps, most importantly waze? One more thing where did you order it from? Ebay?
it fits better than the Seicane model I had previously. The Seicane seemed to look spot on color-wise, but the Hot Audio is a smidgen darker than the other plastic. However the Hot Audio is also harder than the Seicane, so it installs easier. Still sucks to install, but not as bad as the Seicane.
So i definitely like it better than the Seicane, and it looks much better than the Joying. I have over a year experience with Joying, so I'm waiting to see how the Hot Audio turns out.
So far, I'm loving it, everything works like a champ, Waze included. The sound quality is top notch, maybe even better than Joying
Install video is up
Thanks for the video.
My unit comes in Tuesday.
My Car is a 2008 civic SI.
The Hu is not compatible with the stock amplifier. I'll need to use a metra 70-1722 as the middle man and figure out how to integrate the stock amp.

Cool, post some pics. After seeing mine, my buddy wants one for his Camry.
I am pretty happy with mine, just one issue I need to figure out.
When using Auto Sleep, the USB will randomly not mount properly when it wakes from sleep.

My unit just came in today.
It came with a obd2 adapter. I didn't realize that it was included. It also came with a small disc, but disc was cracked in half.
Did you end up using the disc?
Also I don't have a manual lol. I rememebr you getting a manual when u opened yours right?

I know you guys haven't really had a long enough time to test the features of this unit.. but i'm in the market as a first time android head unit owner and was considering the joying (JY-UM135N2, 2 gb, sofia), but also would consider others.. is the Daisaita worth looking at?
Not sure what the price of the unit is since when I click the "buy now" link.. nothing opens. Hah.
Thanks!
You have to buy from eBay or Aliexpress.
I have both the Joying and the Dasaita.
If Dasaita can fix this one bug, then it is one to go for.
Joying has always been a good thing for me
Here is the hidden MicroSD card
Here is a video about wiring a PAC harness to a Joying.
The same principles would apply to Seicane or Dasaita. And if the default harness doesn't work with the Alpine and/or Infiniti, it will definitely work with a PAC.
Does this thing support HD Radio, by the way? I was looking into getting the universal version (Nissan I think is the universal one), but I don't see any mention of it being supported.

I don't think any of these Chinese head units support that
Here is how to access the MicroSD card

how is the handsfree on this device?
I'm looking into buying one for a Tiguan but handfree is a must for me.

I am not a great reference here, I almost never get phone calls. Pretty much all of my calls are just to test to make sure it works.
However they seemed fine
Here is a video about installing and using MtcdTools on my Dasaita Hot Audio V600
Hello All, I have been with XDA some time, however dont have access to old email address to reset password, so guess ill start again!
Anyways - I have been using an IAuch Ford specific headunit (seems to be basically the Joying Sofia unit with a custom fascia). Its been great, however with only 1gb ram and stuck to android 5.1 (as its custom reseller and not Joying im not risking flashing a new ROM) its starting to feel a little slow. Plus a lot of screen real estate is used for the "Ford Aesthetic" and never used DVD drive slot.
I have been reading XDA a lot the last few weeks (and trying to sign in!) to make a decision on a unit. As is usually the case i have gone for a unit i cant find any info on here!!
So i thought i would share, ill add some unboxing, install and setup vids and pics along with findings in this thread in case anyone gives a hoot
Also any thoughts and opinions greatly appreciated:
Xtrons TE103AP
Screen: 10.1 - 1024*600 (nice and rectangular with a good surround)
CPU - PX5 Octacore (A53)
RAM: 4GB
ROM: 32GB
DVD: Yes, Behind Screen.
Android: 8.0
Amp chip: TDA7851 (confirmed by Xtrons cust services)
Cant add a link seeing as im a newbie however search the Xtrons site for TE103AP if you want more details.
Unit should arrive within the next week.

Extremely excited to get your review on this. I wish they made this model a little cheaper without DVD but I'm looking at the same unit. I was looking at the TR100 but the extra RAM is tempting. Where did you end up ordering from? Ebay is the cheapest place I've found.

I ordered directly from x-trons website xtrons.co.uk. it cost £299 delivered. I ordered it yesterday and it has been delivered to my click and collect point today so pretty impressed so far. Now just to hope it is the right item and all that jazz.
Back-up Camera
I am considering this exact model so any advice once you have it installed would be appreciated. I am especially curious if your oem back-up camera works with it (if you have one) or if you had to change it.

Yea it's $399 USD from their site. One rave review from someone on this site and that's probably enough for me to bite the bullet! I think i'm sold on a 10.1" screen. Have you had one before? If so, do you feel like once going to 10.1" you'd never want to go back to 7"?
Edit: Crap...now the $329 ones are sold out one ebay
I have this one guys!!!!!! I've had it for about a month and its bad ass. A month before that I bought a eonon 10.1 unit with no DVD and only 2 gb of ram. And it had a allwinner t8 cpu. Then i saw this xtrons one and was pissed I bought the eonon one. But i bit the bullet and bought this one too. in mho this one is better but I didn't benchmark anything so it's just me. My only grip is I wish the screen was brighter. I found a spot in the setting to adjust it a little higher so I'm happy. If anyone has any questions hit me up. I got mine of eBay. Payed 329 i think. And I'm running nova launcher as my home cause I didnt like the stock launcher.

I am looking for a root version of the firmware if anyone has info on that.
I was also wondering to buy the TE103AP.
You guys who have it. How is it performing? How is waze and Google maps running on it?
The delivery time and service from x-trons was impressive. Ordered one afternoon, delivered following day for £299. Item packaged well and no issues when unboxing.
My previous unit was an Iauch ford specific android unit which meant i had some faff with getting ford harness and cutting and rewiring my steering controls however a handy vid on XDA/Youtube made this simple enough.
Sat-Nav/GPS, DAB, OBD, Steering Wheel are all working. The screen quality seems reasonable enough for the price and is more responsive than my previous unit. Newer android means google maps "floats" above other apps when navigating which is great. Overall happy with the unit and everything is working as it should.
Played around with the settings and launchers to find how i like everything - its android so everyone will have personal preference.
My only issue - and its actually a big one - is the distance this device sticks out from the dash. The mechanism to attach the screen is far chunkier than it needs to be, giving a good inch clearance between the dash and the device. It almost obstructs my gear stick.
Im going to see if there is anyway to fix the main unit further into the dash, so as to resolve this, and will try and get some photos later. This was my apprehension with these 10.1 devices, but none of the youtube videos really showed it very well - they are all front on videos.

Would you mind to make a little showcase (video) of the device build into your car and maybe show some of it's functionality?

Much appreciated
Thinking about getting this unit but also hate how far it sticks out. It is $329.99 on amazon with 2 reviews. Was thinking about Joying with all of the videos and support. But this unit has alot to offer for the price.
Pics pics pics please :laugh:
I just bought this unit also, on a whim, because nit was the last one in stock! Am also curious how far this thing is going to stick out, wondering if I should of just got the 7 inch. Excited for your video
I must say I was quite excited to find this thread! I bought this unit about a month ago through Amazon for $329. I also recently purchased a 2013 Honda Crosstour EX which is also an oddball as far as finding technical info is concerned. Even XTRONS forum "bbs.xtrons.com" is quite thin on support. (seems as if only one guy is managing it). I emailed a couple questions to XTRONS which responded slow and not to helpful. The good news is, based on my experience after firing up this baby, the Installation problems I experienced should minimize with maturity.
I have some pics but don't know the best way to upload them. Advice, please?
I’ve got a long way to go before I consider the installation complete, but the major hurdles have been overcome and I’m pretty happy with the unit so far. Using the original Honda premium audio speakers and amplifier, the TE103AP sounds great! Bluetooth audio quality is okay for now but I haven’t yet figured out how to wire in the 2 overhead Honda microphones. The 10”, adjustable screen is what I wanted, however, the TFT display quality is OK but an IPS panel, with antiglare would “hit it out of the park”. It is easily removable and connected via a ribbon cable (like the old SCSI cables). I’m hoping to later upgrade the screen if possible. I haven’t had success wiring in the OEM backup camera yet. Again, this due to the scarcity of wiring diagrams for my Crosstour which is essentially 2012 accord. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Google maps works perfectly through the head unit when tethered to my Galaxy S5. I haven’t tinkered with the built-in satellite capability (low on priorities). I haven’t tried using the DVD player yet (not important). High on my priority list was getting my phone recorder app to work (Total Recall by killer mobile). So far it’s not recording anything. I contacted killer mobile for advice. They responded quickly and professionally. They said: “I suggest ensuring you have the latest version of Total Recall installed on your Device and leave the default recording setting or MIC or Root recording (if you're rooted). If that doesn't work, then unfortunately this particular device just won't support it.” The question of how to root the TE103, brought me to XDA developers forum and join. I added an extra video monitor to take the place of the original radio display/clock display. Not sure exactly how it’s going to tie into my video system, but it’s there for when I add front and side cameras. You can see in one of the photos a USB web camera with night vision being tested. I also added a Bluetooth OBDII reader which is compatible with the “Torque” app. I had to order a universal steering wheel control interface because the TE103 controls are analog. (The steering wheel signal from the Honda is CAN bus)
I have pics but being a newbie to forums, what's the "secret handshake" I need to do it?
I had links as well, but being a newbie...
I’m glad I did purchase it when I did because it immediately became unavailable on Amazon and I see the price jumped up about $70 on XTRONS.com. I was astonished at how quickly it arrived. I ordered it 2/25/18, Amazon estimated it would arrive 3/6/18 to 3/14/18. It was shipped from Hong Kong 2/26/18 and It actually arrived at my house on 2/27/18!
I now run my own business solving technical problems for people with disabilities. I’m outfitting my car to be a mobile office. I set up a surface Pro docking station realizing the utility of adding an android solution. Basically, I am a stubborn old DIY guy who enjoys a challenge and haven’t professionally installed a car stereo since the early 80s when I was a Porsche mechanic. It’s been was quite a learning curve and I’ll share is much as I have time for. If anyone is installing this unit in a 2010 - 2014 Honda Accord, let’s talk. (Another cross tour owner would be crazy lucky) I’m looking forward to contributing to this thread and community!
Hey guys, I ordered this exact unit from Amazon two days ago and it just delivered. I was very impressed how fast it got to Miami from HongKong! Kudos to Xtrons for that. Anyway, I'm glad I did because it immediately went out of stock after my purchase. I should have some free time on Wednesday to install it and I'll definitely do an unboxing and installation video to show everyone how it looks, as info on this seemingly promising head unit is hard to find on the web.
Cheers!
Looking to get a flip out Android radio for waze in my miata. I've already out a 2din in my Subaru Forester a few years ago.

Look at the D771A XTRONS unit. I got one, seems substantial, works well. Octacore, Android 7.1. Just installed it. I got mine off eBay when they had one of their 20% off everything sales. Happy so far. Waze works fine.

Yeah, but XTRONS seems to be one of the better known brands. It has the latest version of Android I could find in a 1 DIN unit, and had the features I wanted, especially the understated looks. No flashing lights, logos, etc. The screen mechanism is solid, smooth, with no free play. The touchscreen is responsive. So far, so good. Just keep your eye out for eBay sales.

It has to be a flip out, or it will hit my hand when shifting.
I've had a couple quad core 2gb flip out units and they all have some quirk or other. I have a Hizpo one right now and its pretty slow to start up as well as GPS. It does work though and has good sound. I was going to try that xtrons one next.
I wouldn't buy my Hizpo one again even though I paid ~185 USD shipped which is about as cheap as you can get and still get 2gb ram and 32gb rom. Can get a 16gb rom a little less but I say go for that xtrons.

Hi, can someone help me, i need backup mcu for my cyclon mp7101A, who can help?
Android 8,alwinner t3p1
Ok so I just sold my car with my Joying HU in it (was a deal breaker), so now I'm on the hunt for a replacement.
I had the old 2GB Joying Intel Sofia.
It was good, a little sluggish at times and I had a constant problem with the Bluetooth disconnecting from my phone.
A real pain in the ass when I had a Marcodroid set up to turn on mobile hotspot when the Bluetooth connected and turn off mobile hotspot when Bluetooth disconnected, you can imagine what this was like when the Bluetooth sometimes reconnected and disconnected 5 times in as many minutes!
Apart from this I was pretty happy, so now I'm looking for something to put in my new car!
Looking along the lines of one of the 4gb units which I imagine should be pretty snappy.
Have Joying fixed their Bluetooth issues or are they just as bad now?
Should I look elsewhere? Pumpkin? Xtrons? Ownice? Someone else?
Just want a "standard" double din 7 inch.
I also see that there is some rom activity on here now! Anyone have any recommendations to try out when I get a new unit?
Bump. I'm curious too. I have one of the joying mtc-b units and the Bluetooth audio quality is so bad that it's useless.

You don't get answers because the question is useless.
Nobody does a test between 10-20 head units. You have one head unit, maybe a 2nd one in another car, and maybe you had one or two earlier, which you can't compare because they are completely outdated. That is the experience users on this board have, including me.
Nobody here can give a broad comparison of multiple units.
Quite some Chinese brands are discussed here. All have their issues and all have one or two bonuses with regard to others, be it better audio or an IPS screen or better bluetooth or possibility for custom roms.
If you want "the best" then buy a 500 Euro or more expensive Sony, or a 700-1200 Euro or more Kenwood or Pioneer.
Otherwise just read the different topics here and select what you think is important for a much lower quality Chinese unit.
But that's what I'm asking.. Which do people think have better screens, Bluetooth or custom ROMs?
I know they are all lower quality and I'm good with that, I just don't want the 1 I get to bite me in the ass.
The name brand units don't support full android anyway so no point in looking at them.
I'm simply asking people's opinion. I don't expect anyone to have 20 units in their car

You're still asking the wrong things: "Which do people think..".
I have one Joying FYT PX5 unit in my car and one Sofia 3GR "on the bench". Do I think my screen is better than the other one, or better than another one (brand) I don't have? Or that my bluetooth functions better compared to also another brand I don't have?
You had issues with bluetooth on your old Joying. I read more posts from people with issues with bluetooth on joyings, but also on other brands. I have a Joying FYT PX5 and before that one, a Sofia 3GR FYT unit. I never had issues with bluetooth and I also read posts from user with Joyings who don't have issues either.
I still think it is low quality stuff with bad quality control. If you open these units and see how bad they are soldered, I immediately think you have differences between units.
I only have a Joying and I'm happy with it. I have no experience with others, so for me the Joying is the best I ever had. I "could" say that I "think" Dasaita has better audio based on its audio chip, but I never compared. I "could" say that I "think" that a Joying QD unit has a better screen, because it is IPS, compared to a Joying FYT unit with standard TFT, but I never could check the screens myself.
Not really a trustworthy opinion I would say.

That's fine, all I was asking for was opinions, nobody expected anyone to come on here with all of the answers. The point of the thread was anyone to come on and give an option of what they "THINK" of some of the newer android 8.0 units, pros and cons they may have come across on their travels/ownership/searching/YouTube etc.
I've seen this question asked in the past but a lot can change in 3 or 4 years so was looking for an updated idea of what people thought.
I didn't think it would be such a problem tbh.
Maybe someone can just delete the thread then and I'll just get a Joying again.. Or maybe a Dasaita as you say it has a better screen and from my searches it's cheaper for similar model (4gb/32gb universal 2din) maybe it will fit the 2din slot better than the Joying did.

Just came to mind: Check the reviews from cadillacmike. He had at least 5 different units and also posts about it on youtube.

Yeah I saw on Reddit that he settled on a Seicane But I haven't heard of them all that much.
Maybe I'll look more into him if he has some YouTube videos.
Cheers

So I have been in contact with cadillacmike and he's still running a Dasaita and seems pretty happy with it. I was thinking I may give it a go but then I started thinking about support (xda, root, mods etc.) and when I look into it, it seems that there is little to no support for the Dasaita units.
This brought me upon your Extra Tools apk (brilliant work) which is pushing me back to the idea of getting a Joying again.
These are the 2 units on the shortlist and my head is fried from them! Joying have a 20% off sale coming up for a few days during the week so I need to make my mind up by then!

Also, you wouldn't have any idea what the 6.95 inch unit is about? (https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-6...ndroid-8-0-car-head-unit-replacement-4gb.html )
Is it to fit a standard double din layout better or what? why have another unit so close to 7 inch I wonder.

As far as I know the Dasaita is an MTCD/E unit and therefore suitable for the Malaysk and HAL9 custom ROM. That's quite some support I would say. But don't take my word for it: confirm it with Hot-audio whether it is an mtcd/e.
Both the Joyings are OK. I think the difference (0.1 cm) is due to another screen supplier. I assume you saw from the webshop images that they have different hardware buttons / Vol knob?
The 2-DIN sizes are equal but the 7" box is 9 millimeters less deep. In my dash every centimeter less deep counts. That might be different for you.
I think it is just a question of preference.
And you can always ask Joying for the differences.

I was thinking of contacting them but I have a feeling that it would take too long to get a reply that would have a straight answer.
Joying are having their Christmas sale on Thursday and Friday so would have to get answers by then. After some thinking today I have decided to go for the Joying. I just know more about it and I'm afraid the Dasaita is a leap into the unknown (although realistically it's probably not).
Yeah I will be going for the hardware buttons over the touch. I just like the buttons for some reason.
Looking forward to some messing around with the unit in regards to the custom ROMs and mods as when I rooted my old unit I pretty much had the nokill mod and that was about it! Seems the community has grown big time since then. Will definitely be giving your app a go and throw you a cup of coffee!
I've also just realised that I can get a OBD1 (Nissan consult) -> USB cable and use that to get torque feedback from my Skyline! Looking forward to that.
I also think I will get a DAB dongle too as there are some decent digital stations around here (Perth, Australia) and the FM stations are awful! With the 3rd party apps out there now I can just grab a cheapy from eBay with no issues, correct me if I'm wrong!
Will most lightly have to fabricate some sort of facia though as I can't see it fitting too well!
I'm on my second unit in three years. My current one is a AutoPumpkin generic double-din.

It's okay, I suppose, but it gets super sluggish when I run Google Maps. It's frustrating.
I think it cost me around $350. I'd gladly pay upwards of $1,000 if there was a fast, quality unit available.
Is there anything I can do to upgrade, like I would a laptop or desktop PC?
Seen some larger size GB, but these are nice.
I'm currently shopping for a car stereo, and this is one I'm looking into, anybody have some comments as to another better or suggested.

I have the Atoto albeit with a smaller screen but I believe the same specs. I like the unit but it's not super fast. Atoto has all of their units at Android 6.0 because they feel it is the most stable OS. I am happy with mine but they aren't easy to root. If you just want a unit that for the most part works (including the TPMS), they are great but they aren't speed demons.

I would suggest you run a speedtest on your internet connection. Let's just say that the WiFi antenna on some of those HU is next to useless. I ripped off the short piece of wire they called an antenna on mine and replaced it with a real antenna I took off an old router. The extra length of cable allowed me to place the antenna above the HU instead of behind.
To answer your question the fastest HU I've seen so far would have to be ones based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 645 but I've only seen them for BMW.
