[Q] Help with my Android Head Unit (update and video-issue)

After searching al lot on this forum I can't seem to get some answers (maybe because there is a LOT of info!) I am trying to identify my Android Headunit so I can make some changes. First of all some info about the unit:
I bought the unit half a year ago from aliexpress for a Suzuki Swift (>2011).
- Android 4.4.2 OS, HD 1024*600 Pixels Capacitive Screen.
- Cortex A9 Quad Core 1.6GHz CPU.
- DDR3 1GB RAM, 16GB NAND Flash.
- Built-in WiFi
Processor type: Quadcore-R16 1.6G
Android-versie: 4.4.2
MCU version: 5.3.17-1-10-610101-151112
System version: 4.5.3_20151027
DVD version: 2.13.15-860mc-150417
USB Debugging password protected password: "[email protected]".
Factory Reset / Developer Options password: "7890"
Extra Settings password: "123456"
I need help with 2 issues:
- I would like to update is to a newer OS. Is this possible?
- Since I have a pair of rear headrest monitors in my car, there is a second thing I would like to change. ONLY when I use the DVD function the external monitors get an videosignal. Usualy this is no problem because this way my kids can watch a movie and I can use the navigation app. BUT when I want to show them media from, for instance, youtube of a USB stick, there is no videosignal sent to the monitors and the can only view it on my headunit . Is there a way to cure this? Maybe a way to emulate the DVD function?
- Is there a way to change the current orange illumination colour? (anyone know if there are a lot of led's and if it's do-able to solder red ones instead?)
Ik really hope someone can help! Thanks in advance!

video issue on Android head unit
HI i purchased my head unit in january of this year from a chinese manufacturer it works fine with one exception and that is i recently purchased a pair of head rest to add to my vehicle so that my kids can see movies ect. but my surprise only dvd shows on the monitors i checked the monitors against another source and they work fine so it took me back to the head unit i've reached the issue over the internet and found many others have the same issue.
Can anyone help solve the problem as it seems to be a programing/software issue i could be wrong. but i really need your help.
Model number S07
Android version 4.4.4.
MCU version MTCB- KSP-V2.85

Anyone got an idea on what password I need to put in to enter to the "drive safe" menu ? Thank you

I need the mcu file for this same unit. Mine got wiped when I updated from 4.4.2 to 6.0.1. I found and am using an older version but its outdated and some hardware still has glitches. Can anyone help me?

How to change the radio app on an Android head unit

I have bought a non branded Android head unit and would like to change the radio app cause it is way too colorful, I have no idea what as the to do and where to start if anyone can help. Thanks alot, also it looks like my head unit won't connect to my hotspot at all times, I have to turn WiFi off then on for it to work.

Anyone?

wolf1306, "non branded" does not say enough to be able to give an advice. Please post your device data which one can find under Settings -> About tablet (or alike).
As to WiFi hotspot - I had similar experience with Joying 4G/WiFi dongle. Replacing it with Huawei E8372 helped to completely forget about any problem (same SIM).

Android 4.4.4
Could cortex A9
GPU mali-400 mp4
1024x600

So it is not similar to Joying (Intel Atom x3) and using Joying's FWs and additional soft like Radio mods is, as I believe, unlikely. Hope other brand/make users could give further advice.

I have the same prpblem.
In my case the android head unit is a "non branded" chinese one.
- Model Number: AC 8227
- Android version: 5.1.1
- Kernel version: 3.4.35
- MCU version: IAP36/CM02.00.00.02_161223_15:24
As I have googled, tha radio app is linked with the MCU version. As far as I know, you must install a radio app that works with you MCU.
So it is not easy...
Anyone hace ideas?
Thanks in advance

A-Sure Android 8.0 problems with ignition and steering wheel control

Hello together!
First of all, I'm totally new into Android Head Units so I don't really have a clue about the different versions etc. Also, I am an iPhone user since almost ten years, so I'm also kind of new to Android
I bought a 9 inch Head Unit with the stated down Specs for my Seat Leon (VW Family) which I directly connected via the original CAN BUS to the radio. It runs just perfectly, except for the following two really annoying problems:
1. The radio ignores the ignition. When I turn on/off the ignition (start/stop the car), nothing happens to the radio. I can normally turn on/off the radio, but the ignition has no effect on the radio - the radio just ignores it.
2. The steering wheel setup doesn't work. In general, the volume up/down, next/previous and phone button works by default, but when I enter the setting for the steering wheel and reset the defaults, the radio doesn't recognize the entries ( I would like to change some buttons).
Does anyone have and idea how to solve this? Are there other apps that can control these settins?
Generel questions: Is there a custom ROM available for this Head Unit? If I can't solve the issue, I would probably send it back and would buy a similar one from another manufacturer. Is there a brand where there are a lot of custom ROMs? Or is it all the same?
Sorry for these beginner questions, but I wasn't able to find real answers to these questions :
Thank you in advance!
Modell: PX5
Android Version: 8.0.0
Kernel Version: 4.4.93+
Build Number: px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5....
MCU version: MTCE_LM_V2.75_1
CPU: 8 core 64-bit CPU Coretex-A53 @ 1.5G
Memory: 3891 MB

I've got quite similar problem in my peugeot 508 - 2012. My head unit is:
Android 8
px5-userdebug 8.0.0 OPR5.170623.007 eng.hct.20180321.165038 test-keys
MCU version: MTCE_MX2_V2.83_1
Kernel Version: 4.4.93+
with canbus:
MH (PA-SS-05)20180402
SS-PA0503271018-2
For: Peugeot 2008
P/N 1801300412
Software: PSA V2.27 005BYPS
I have no control over steering wheel at all...and all rest that supposed to be decoded by canbus decoder. In my case I had to connect power line, in the way that bypasses canbus, otherwise I cannot even boot up the device. I don't know if updating MCU would help. My device is brand new with stock MCU updated to 26 of April 2018. I thought that maybe downgrade would be a solution but I've got no control over my device to enter into a recovery mode, so I don't want to brick my HU completely.

Does it turn off when open the driver door?

No you can not change the function of each button because the head unit takes the commands ready from the can bus module. If you want to make your differences then you must cancel the can bus module and an additional interface that makes the can bus , into resistive commands
Does anyone have and idea how to solve this? Are there other apps that can control these settins?

Hizpo, mcu: Sm92b1.161111.v1-cyd-b3, build: Alps.ld_kk1.mp10.v1.6

Hi everyone,
I have joined and posted today as I am struggling to find information on my Hizpo headunit, which I am lead to believe is just a generic chinese unit with a bezel and firmware slapped onto it.
I am wanting more from my head unit like better apps, connect to my OBD, resume music when turned on and faster boot time.
The issue I am having is threads mentioning MTCD, etc. I am not sure how to figure this out but I am assuming this is related to the MCU build. If this is true them my build isnt that and is something different.
I have have read a number of threads relating to this MCU and were utterly useless.
The details the head unit provides are:
Model Number: CAR AUDIO
Android Version: 5.1.1 (which I am lead to believe is not true)
Kernel Version: 3.4.67 Wed Apr 19 12:02:15 HKT 2017
Build Number: ALPS.LD_KK1.MP10.V1.6
MCU: SM92B1.161111.V1-CYD-B3
DVD: SM92B1.161201.V1.2-CYD-TTL-12XH-DIG
I want to avoid buying another head unit and playing with that one as the chances of buying the same one is slim and if I get a more known set up I would have to wire that one in.
Thanks for any advice in advance.

For those who are still playing with this model.
After 4 hours thinking my touch screen needing calibrating and discovering the touch panel had failed, i now have the code for the admin menus.
12580
Some handy stuff in there.

How do you get into admin menu? I don't see anything related to admin or settings.

PX5 MTCE Android 10 - WiFi Connectivity / Stability Issues

Hi All,
I'm bit new to the world of Android Head Unit who recently purchased a PX5 Android 10 head unit for my Peugeot 407.
After installation everything works fine expect for one problem. WiFi doesn't work.
If I turn ON the WiFi, it finds my network, connects to it, and then immediately the WiFi turns OFF. It keeps turning ON and OFF in loop.
So reached out to my seller who provided a firmware file using which I upgraded my unit successfully. But no luck. WiFi still has the same problem. It keeps turning ON and OFF in continuous loop.
Head Unit Specifications
Car: Peugeot 407
Unit: PX5
CPU: Octa-core Cortex-A53 @1.5G
Memory: 4GB
Storage: 64GB
MCU Version: MTCE_MX2_V3.60_1
Kernel Version: 4.19.111+
Build Number: rk368-userdebug 10 [email protected] eng.hct2.20200909.085823
Bluetooth Module: WQ_RF210 (as pre-selected in the Factory settings in the head unit)
I've attached a video of my symptoms as well. Please can you have a look and advise / point me in the right direction to fix this WiFi problem.
I spent time tracking down the seller for firmware update because I'm not sure how to identify the specific model / manufacturer etc of the unit.
Any advise on how to identify the finer details associated with the Head Unit Model would also be very helpful.
Thank you.

Did you check the wifi antenna?
I have a 407 - (2007) - does your head unit allow for aircon and heating/ventilation controls and all the canbus functions?
my orange dispaly is failing so thought I'd install one of these instead
Do you have a link for the one you bought? I've been looking for octacore - most are quad
Thanks
Found some interesting info here

I can't find my exact seller listing but below link is a similar eBay listing for the same model I have got.
Peugeot 407 Android 10 PX5 4-64
Yes, it integrates seamlessly with canbus / climate control etc. It comes with a canbus connector. There's an option to connect reverse camera if you want to. But you have to buy the reverse camera separately. Other than that there's a GPS antenna, built in and extra microphones for phone calls, memory card slot, USB slots etc.
I wouldn't recommend any sellers for this kind of after market head units as they are all sold / shipped by overseas / international sellers. There's always a risk with this type purchases. So proceed with caution. If you end up getting a good unit, the risk is well rewarded. Your Pegueot gets a major upgrade.
All the best!

Thanks!
I've been looking at these ones.
Still undecided
Might just get a new mfd screen & keep using my phone!

Have you guys found any solutions to your canbus problems with Peugeot 407? I lost my automatic headlights / daylights which I'd love to have back. Have you encountered and solved other issues with Android head units?
I can't either enable some car functions from car app from head unit (automatic lights, rear wiper, parking radar etc.). Can you see the outside / inside temperatures of the car somewhere? My A/C works somehow (responses like it should to physical buttons, but I bet it has mechanical faults instead communication problems with head unit).

Hello there,
See this workaround.
Custom ROMs such as @Hal9k_ 's Mod V5 have workarounds for this under Mod settings. In that ROM, go to Mod settings, select "Hardware settings" and toggle on the "Reset USB devices when booting or waking up".
