Hey
Been looking around for a new android unit, after I found out the last one I got was a scam
It claimed to run android 9 but was on android 8, and worst of all claimed to have 4gb but in reality was only around 2gb, which made the system slow and unstable
I've been reading good things about the PX5 system and was looking at this unit: aliexpress.com/item/4000113064724.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.602461efQRJzYi
But is it legit?
Does it really have the claimed 4gb of ram or is it just another scam?
It claims to run android 10, which only make me more suspicious of the unit
I'm open to advice on other units, if this one bad/scam
Thanks in advance

Ther are lots of px5 4gb/64gb and android 10.
So could be legit...
My recommendation is to go to a well forum.supported platform (MTCD based MCU) and a recognized brand (for which their well support has been confirmed) (like Dasaita - there are others)....
Otherwise you assume the risk of if some issue you could have an expensive non-working device

I bought it from taobao.com last month, branded WMJX, but without any information on the body.
9" / Android 5.1.1 / Intel Quad Core, (must be Sofia) / 1G RAM / 16G ROM / Bluetooth 4.* / AUX FM AV-in...
I read from SETTING/HU INFO, The MCU version is : KYD_(7730)_90_C9_V1.00_CAN(FORD0)
I can only input digi number at the password of factory recovery...
and KingRoot cannot root it...
Does anyone know about this HU? plz give me some advice~THX!!
Looking to your mcu code it seems similar to joying intel ones.
Check the corresponding thread for intel units and look for the instructions of rooting for the joying Intel models

The MCU line says "7703" emphasized in brackets. It also does NOT say 5009 as the Joying units have, so I would NOT make the assumption that it is an FYT5009 based unit.
I wouldn't go near ANYTHING with kingroot -- you can't tell what that thing is going to add to your system to track or spam you.
You can try adb root on it, in case it already has root enabled.
It would be very helpful to get some pictures of the INSIDE of it. Outside pictures are mostly useless. The only thing those pictures say, really, is that it is not really intended for export. The units that are intended for export from China have their labels in *english*.
thanks! ikerg and doitright
I will try to open the box this weekend!
here is the pictures inside the HU.
the first one is motherboard.
the second one is the mainChipset with a cover. it's printed:
FYT5009/Wifi/50K/E
9L69TU1694
on the top side of mainChip, there is printed:
KM1639K
FYT5009_ver_E
the third one is the model number of the KYD HU.
KYD-5000-MB ver 3.0
@doitright, could you tell this model? THX~
Wow, so it is an fyt5009. The MCU board on that doesn't appear to be the same as a joying, buy the SoM is certainly a common element.
So it could be completely compatible with joying roms...ia that correct?

I would say that there is a *possibility* of compatibility. The problem is that the kernel needs to know how to talk to the MCU to control things like switching between backup camera and Android. I couldn't tell you if the SoM--MCU links are the same on this as they are on the Joying, and I couldn't tell you if the MCU *chip* is the same, and I couldn't tell you if the *software* running on the MCU is at all compatible.
Who did you buy this product (link)? Do you have the firmware for it?

i bought it from taobao.com, i'm in China.
There was not firmware in my hand...
but, I got twice OTA updates since the HU was installed.
anyway, i cannot tell the update resource. The only information maybe some IP address.
Hey guys,
I currently have: MTCB 800x480 (EONON GA2114)
But it runs on 1gb of ram and is slow even though I have it rooted.
Do I want to upgrade to the Sofia 2GB head unit?
Whatever get, I don't need disc playing options, I just want it to be fast, customization, and able to be rooted.
I like the $200-$300 price point
Just searching the Sofia 2gb models on Amazon though prices range from like $260 - $310 for what appear to be the same model.
I'm just confused on subtle differences and I'd like advice on where to buy and what the best price is?
For example, what's the difference between these two (besides button placement and price):
https://www.carjoying.com/new-andro...olution-1024-600-fm-am-rds-gps-navigatio.html
https://www.amazon.com/JOYING-Andro...TF8&qid=1493322481&sr=8-1&keywords=joying+2gb
Thanks!
Hi
i would recommmend to buy a PX5 MTCD rather thn intel Sofia
Even it just has been released the marshmallow version, it couldnt be relaseaed Nougat as intel discountinued the development for this processor.
PX5 is 2GB Ram as well, but octacore and 32GB ROM
The most famous developers for MTCB and MTCD have moved to PX5 , so high support is expected.
The most famous one, Malaysk has moved to hotAudio PX5....so i recommend same manufactureer as well
Additionally, hotaudio has some dicounts on universal units
Your Eonon was 2din universal.
The nissan universal has similar dimensions to the 2Din universal
Check these models below 250USD:
Nissan - universal 176x101 with capaciive buttons - Model HA2100-V600:
https://es.aliexpress.com/store/pro...32805474302.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.AahDCd
Nissan -universal 178x100 with buttons (similar the one currently you have) - Model HA2153-V600:
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...32789102885.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.OrxLBZ
Check your current exact dimensions and ask to @hotaudio if you have further questions.
Where do I find the threads on Malaysk 's PX5 roms?

I think you enjoy paying more....
The two links I supplied to you were below 250usd (one was 238) .... this is 279.
But it is Amazon....of course...
Haha
What do you dont know is that volsmart is not any manufacturer and for getting updates (not rom, but mcu which only should be updated by your manufacturer) you will suffer a little bit more.

Yours with similar buttons was $20 more with shipping. Amazon shipping with prime was free and was 2 day shipping.
I will still be able to put Malasyk's roms on this.
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Malaysk rom for sure...but i was talking about mcu updates. If you are lucky and mcu is branded by any common manufacturer you will be ok...but if it is rare mcu manufacturer....you will be pushing to seller to get updates...
But don't worry it is just the worst scenario ever

I appreciate the direction and insight. What is mcu anyways? Firmware?

I also purchased the Volsmart 006 fire from the above Amazon link. The MCU version is MTCD_KGL_V2. 36_2. KGL means I can use Erinsin Mcu updates instead of waiting on Volsmart to post them correct? Just got the head unit today. So far I'm really happy with my purchase.
You can use any KGL mcu update....as they came for the same manufacturer (and many sellers/retailers/distributors)

pdappcgeek....Did you get any cameras? I want a dvr dask cam and a back up cam along with an OBD2 elm327. What accys did you order if any?
I'm also looking to purchase a good head unit to root and use in my restomod project, It will have bluetooth controlled app for the heather and AC and I really want to use the torque app for the ODB information. Can you guys recommend a good unit? The OP said he purchased the Volsmart? How do you like it? Some of you guys thought it might not be a good purchase for updates, so what's the best recommended units?

I also ordered the Volsmart. It's great! I installed Malasyk rom and updated the MCU the first night. It runs KGL MCU. You can easily find the latest updates for it here on XDA. Many units have different names but are manufactured by the same company. I recommend the PX5 volsmart fire 006 from the previous Amazon link.

Ok sweet.. Glad its compatible for ROMs.. Did you order a ODB dongle? or know what works good with these units?

I did not order an OBD dongle. I connect my phone to it via Bluetooth and it works fine. I think most of the OBD 2 adapters are the same but have limited experience with that.

Hey all,
I am currently looking for a head unit for my Renault Clio.
The problem is, that it only has a single din slot and I do not want to modify the dashboard.
Then only one I found was made by joying, but they all have the Intel Sofia CPU. As it is announced dead by Intel and there is barely any support for mods or custom ROMs, I was looking for a PX5 unit.
Does anyone have a recommendation or should I go with the joying unit, even though it has the Intel CPU?
Thanks!

@ikerg Thanks for the link! Unfortunately I should have mentioned that my Clio is from 2004, so this HU won't fit sadly.
I guess I'll have to go with the Joying Unit then?
I mean I don't think that these units are bad, just the fact that they will almost probably never get Android 7 is a bummer.

Hi guys
Looking to purchase a new Android headunit for my 2008 Mazda 3 and have narrowed my search down to the following:
Hizpo HIZPO001AU59
A9 4 Core
2gb memory
Android 7.1
Xtrons PCD76M3MA
A7 4 core
1gb memory
Android 6.0
Eonon GA8151
A7 4 Core
2gb memory
Android 6.0
Which one would you recommend out of this bunch if the prices were similar? The Hizpo looks higher spec over all but doesn't look as good ... the Xtrons looks the best but only 1gb RAM. Eonon seems to be middle of the pack ... low spec but 2gb RAM.
Comments and suggestions would be very helpful please I want to get this purchase done today if possible!
Sorry I am not allowed to post links as a new member...
Well just based on looking at this post alone, and owning a Mazdaspeed6 myself, I'm inclined towards the Eonon based on the name alone. I've researched units specified for my car and I've come across Eonon often enough that I wish there was a good unit specifically for my car.
But what are your plans for your unit? Are you looking for simple pnp? Are you looking to fully customize a sic infotainment media center?
Ultimately I think you'd want to find a unit backed by the XDA community

Thanks so much for the reply ... Eonon does seem to have a good name and is much more well known than the other 2.
I'm probably a more basic user ... I'd want to use my unit mainly for GPS and Reversing camera functionality ... but it would be nice if it had good sound output also. I can't see myself putting so many apps on the device but I'd like it to be quick and reliable for years to come. Basically plug and play with minimal configuration required.
From reading other posts on here it sounds like all of these chinese "Huifei" headunits are all basically the same on the inside ... brand doesn't matter too much? In this case a higher spec unit would be better right?
Beware: a colleague have purchased a Joying HU with 1.8 Ghz proc specs (Intel Atom x3/Sofia) clearly stated on seller's page, while its only 1.2 max. This product advertising sheet (rather ****) should be double checked.

Strange I would've thought the Joying HUs would be quite good.
I ended up not purchasing a new headunit ... I'll wait until next year
At the last minute as my finger was hovering over the buy button I realised that the Xtrons and Hizpo HU may not support my Bose Amplifier system that is set up in my Mazdaspeed 3 ... there is a wiring modification that can be done to correct this but I'd rather have it work natively. The Eonon HU includes an adaptor that works well with the Bose system which is great!
I'll likely buy the Eonon unit next year when I'm back in the market to purchase one of these unless another good competitor arrives on the market!
Is there any custom rom for the GA8151?

Unit 1. Android 9.0 w/PX6
Unit 2. Android 8.1
I've been looking at units to replace the stock one in my 09 wrx. The units say they are for Forresters, but they use the same console set up. I'm not sure which is a "better" unit. The PX6 is the hexacore, but has Android 9.0 and a cleaner interface. No built in Android Auto though, according to rep I am talking to through Ali.
Second unit does have built in Android Auto, but with the 8 core and a uglier interface. Does anyone have any experience, or could point me in a better direction even?
Thanks

PX6 Android 9 would be better.
But be careful as their are a lot of fake units on Ali at the moment. Their is a forum on here somewhere explaining it all. They are saying they are Android 9 with 2+32gb but turning out to just be android 6 with 1+16gb. They have somehow managed to code it so it reads differently. Personally I would purchase from a proper reseller or Amazon or eBay. I bought my 3 Xtrons units direct from their site. But they are a reseller and not the manufacturer. But they also have a lot of different models on their either custom fit or normal single or double din units that are universal. Also they sell the facias and wiring harnesses for all types of vehicles. Good luck.
