Advise needed: Tesla style or classic? - Android Head-Units

Hi All,
I'm looking to upgrade my old MTCD android head unit and I noticed these new Tesla style devices having much bigger screens. Unfortunately, from the device description from different sites and sellers as well as from the forum, I was not able to understand if it makes any sense to go for one of these tesla models.
The following few questions keep me absolutely puzzeled:
1. It seems that the bottom of the screeb is busy with the climate controls. For my car however the physical climate controls stay intact so I dom't understand what's the point of these virtual ones. Does it show some more information or what? Does this bottom part of the screen havr any other function?
2. For my current device, I was used to downloading ROMs from xda devs forum. However I didn't find a separate forum thread for these tesla style ROMs is it the same ROM as for the "classic" devices?
3. There is a thread about tesla style devices in the forum, however most about the posts there are about rooting the devices. Is rooting a must to have these devices usable?
Any advise or comparison is greatly appreciated,
Thanks

I'm also interested to know the answers to these questions, so it'd be great if anybody that has one of these units could please respond.
I'd also like to ask, can you use split screen on these between two regular android apps (like Poweramp and Waze for example)? I've seen lots of videos of these units on Youtube but they only focus and the stock apps (like audio and video players) which I don't intend to use much since I already have other Android apps that I like.
Thanks in advance.

Android Radio Unit with Marshmallow (Eonon Ga7165)

I am new to the android world and i have a few questions so please bare with me. I recently installed a new Eonon Ga7165 in my BMW e90. And the first thing i noticed was that the main UI is showing a clock from overseas somewhere and you are not able to change the time or delete the widget. Here lies the problem, I don't like the UI more like the Radio turner or the clock in the main screen. I would much rather have the old UI on the radio. Does anyone know or have done any changes the unit and guide me on how to do it. I would like to replaced the preinstalled apps in the unit, as they are currently all locked by the Eonon. Why i have no idea?
My question:
1. how to change the main clock on the UI
2. How to change the radio tuner
3. How to change the music turner ( if you have any better recommendation I am opened)
Any help is appreciated thank you in advance

Split Screen

Hello, newcomer to this forum I post my first message.
I recently purchased a head unit with Android 9 for my vehicle ( HFCYJIA IPS Android 9.0 with SOC9835i, sorry I cannot post link as I'm new member and this not allowed by the site) .
I use the split screen function very regularly to display two applications in parallel. I would like to know if it is possible to configure Split screen as the Home Page with my two favorite applications (wecarguru and Ware). At each start I am currently forced to configure them manually to have them in split screen.
Thanking the members of this forum in advance for any help you could give me.

Hello, as there was no reply, i make a second trial. any suggestion ?
I ‘ve noticed that a solution to save last interface would be to make sure that the head unit is not switched off, even during parking. when restarting the vehicle, the last window setting in screen mode immediately pops up, however, it consumes electricity with risk of battery shortage so this is not Maybe someone may get some good hints.
Thank you
Continuing my search, I found a solution with Automate. Link below with all details. Might be of some help for people like me looking to have split screen on start.

Personally I like FCC Launcher on play store and support can be found on different thread. You can use the default dialler of the launcher for your phone calls. Am/FM software I now use GMRadio instead of the stock app. You can find this a thread on here. DAB+ app look for Dab-z-player on the play store by Zoulou. Support in a separate thread on here. ADAS I can't advise as it's built into my dash cam.
As far as Navigation software I use sygic and here both on play store. Both don't need data unless you want traffic reports.
Anything else have a nose around the forums.

Thanks for your post. Where did you find that GMRadio, I would also like to try it.
Thanks
Thanks for the feedback
I'm also trying to find a link to GMRadio.
Please, more apps suggestions are welcome.
I'll get the obvious out of the way: HeadUnit Reloaded.
My Joying came with ZLink, it was extremely unstable, I tolerated it for a month until I found HUR. Fixed all my issues

As far as I understand in that thread that app is only for MTCD/E units.
Thanks for the links.
Here goes my first draft for the list. https://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Android_Head_Unit_Software
Please keep sharing more software you know. I will like to explore more "Bluetooth - Sync - Phone Call" software to replace the one I have.

It seem you have missed my radio app for multiple devices NavRadio+:
For MTC units thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...t/dev-navradio-ported-to-mtc-devices-t4048899
For TopWay based units with Allwinner T3,T8 and Intel TS9:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...its/dev-navradio-app-allwinner-units-t4024701
The app is the same for all those devices, it can recognize the device type and adapt its functionalities.
There is a basic free version and a paid version on playstore.

hi,
I tried your version but it's not working with my autoradio "Junsun" Android 10.
I am very interested in your app as I cannot (like the others) install any car launcher as they don't find the radio app (nor the phone app).
Do you plan to also take in charge other material ?
thanks
