Update old Xtrons Android 2 din head unit to newer version. - Android Head-Units

Hi I hope someone can help.
I have an old Android 7 7" Xtrons 2 din multi media touch screen head unit and wondered if there was a way to update it to a newer version of android rather than having to keep buying new units every few year to have newer verion as with my Android phone.
Im guessing it would need to be forceably updated in some way as there is no way within the unit from what I can see to beable to do this via usb or something.
I would appreciate any help ppl can give me.
Stay safe. JJ

Update possibilities for my Android unit

Hi!
Recently, I bought an Android 2Din Unit. Actually it should have Android 6.0 installed on the device. However, after the installation it turned out, that there is Android 5.1 on it. It seems that the manufacturer/brand does not even have an own homepage/forum to provide updates etc.
I wonder if I can use the software update from another, quite similar device. The one I have, does look very similar to another Chinese Android 2DIN from Pumpkin. It is an Intel Sofia device with 2GB RAM 1024x600px Display and 16GB ROM.
This is my unit
This is the almost identical Pumpkin unit 11-RQ0278E
Would it be possible to simply use an update file from the mentioned Pumpkin unit? Or are there also working custom ROMs here on XDA?
Thanks in advance

Real Android Q update

Hi team,
I have just bought a car equipped with an android car radio.
I have browsed the various topics dealing with android head unit but I need your clarification.
Can we update the mcu in the rom? or vice versa?
I understood that I had a fake version of android Q and I did not find an android head unit equivalent to mine in the posts.
I found this post where the android unit has the same specs as mine but that really needs to be verified.
I copy the characteristics of my car radio.
Thank you in advance for the help you could give me.

Install new Android OS on MSM8953 for arm64 head unit

A couple of years ago I bought this head unit for my F10 BMW:
12.3 inch Bigger Stand Screen... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KZXG42G?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I am not a fan of the interface and there are a bunch of issues as well. I would like to install another rom but I am not sure what I should be looking for. First, are there even roms for this head unit/processor? Second, is it worth it or will it just inject more issues? I have installed roms on quite a few devices but never a head unit. Thanks!
Try searching forums for prefix of MCU version, or posting details of Android system information including MCU version
I have the same situation. Do I need to change the whole headunit for android 12 or is it possible to update this unit?
