Thinking about buying a HuiFei MCU-MX unit - can someone answer a few ?easy queries

Hi guys,
I am quite new to the whole world of Android head-units. I've found a unit that fits my car and before I buy it I was just wondering if you guys could help me out a bit.
The unit is: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Android-4...RE-/281909711323?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
It states that it is a RK3088 unit, although it must be RK3166 if it's quad-core, right?
https://youtu.be/DK4O1XGn0nM?t=3m13s - looking at the description it seems it's a HuiFei type MCU MX.
I note that the XDA repository doesn't include firmware updates for this MCU - does this mean that I won't ever be able to update the firmware? Would the custom ones (Masaryk?) work on this MCU?
I've also read that the microphone is pants, which is why every seller is including some-kind of an external one, in this case a bluetooth one. How does a microphone like that get powered? Is it a difficult to get power to it when installing?
My apologies if this is the wrong forum.

Hello friend,
This is Nicole from Kaigele,which is a 9 years proffesional car dvd player factory.
Thank you for your attention to our Huifei units.But sorry to tell you that,i have checked your attached link,it's not from our factory.
Sorry i can not help you more.
Have a nice day!
Best regards
Nicole

Your info is not enough. Please place more details of your unit including the brand name, type, current android version, preferably with a link to alieexpress or wherever it can be found, etc.
Nobody can give you a correct answer if you don't ask the correct, precise question.
It's like "I have a car, it's blue and it doesn't start".

Surfer 63 thank you for your reply . I couldnt find the brand for this device. I have bought it from a local car accessories shop here. In the device info i found rkpx3 under model. And
The device is running android 4.4.4.
I found this on aliexpress hope this helps.

Based on that aliexpress link you see that the unit is being sold by "Wincen Technology". A quick google search resulted in http://wincen.en.ec21.com/ and http://wincen.appliances-china.com/Index.php and http://wincencn.company.weiku.com/ and a derived one http://1060495.en.makepolo.com/ with an option to "contact Supplier" as well
I did not find your unit as such but you can try to contact the manufacturer/supplier directly.
and if you search Youtube you do find a few hits/videos as well: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wincen+technology
That's why I did not react as I don't have more info either and you could have found this as well.

What head unit do I have?

I’ve just inherited a car with an Android 8.1 head unit. All I can see is it’s an 8227l unit. Can someone tell me what unit it is and if I can update it at all and get some info about it? Or is it easier to pull it out and see if there are details on the back of the unit.

Not to worry. I changed some search details and found it on eBay. Anyone know if these things are updatable?

Help in identifying my Android Head Unit

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.

More info on new "AneQu" Android head unit

Hi All,
I've bought a new Android Head-Unit for my car, it is an Android 12 based device but I'm not able to understand if it is an MTCD, MTCB or anything else.
Attached are two screens with the device details, any hints on what it is or what I should look for?
PS: the unit is available on Amazon, but I cannot find more details anywhere.
Thanks!!

No one can put me on the right way to properly identify this head unit?
