Hi,
just now there is a sc9853i device (Joying) in my car that worries me every day...
I am looking for another one that can be tuned with custom roms like Malaysk AND has a 8" screen (universal device).
I saw the Bosion BX-P061 that could fit to my needs, but i have never heard something about that vendor.
If there is any experience about Bosion or that device, please tell me...
For example: I very often use my steering wheel, so the longpress option of my device before was a really win. Not possible with Joying devices. Also the main behaviour of that device (Xtrons PX5) was much better than the Joying i actually have. Unfortunately the devices have only 7" screens...
Thanks
Bommel
No such thing as a boison, joying or xtrons unit. They all resellers from various Chinese factories.
Ask the reseller to list the MCU type to find out who makes the unit. The MTCD/E/P units currently provide the most Shared knowledge and modified roms.

Maybe you guys can help me out, as I am not new to android but I am new to the idea of android head units. I've done some research but what I'm finding is somewhat limited and I have no hands on experience with any units out there.
I'm looking into purchasing a head unit for my vehicle and am wondering which unit fits my needs best. I'd like something with a 7" touch screen, ability to retain steering wheel controls, backup camera, A/V in and out, support both wifi and bluetooth, and a remote signal out for an aftermarket amplifier. I'd really like to have one with the newest OS available, which to my knowledge points me in the direction of the Ownice C500... Being able to root would definitely be a plus.
I'll continue my research but wanted to reach out here for input as well, thanks!
really leaning towards this unit:

I'm also kind of curious on real performance of these units, as I'm aware an advertised processor speed is not a tell-tale sign of how it will perform, and at this point that is just about all I have to go from.
@bill12690 What did you end up getting?
I ended up getting one of the 7" octacore X-Trons units

Octa core is great feature. Does it allow you to use steering wheel buttons? Is it 'learning type' SWC?
Also got a xtrons octacore unit and really really like it, I have a BMW so the canbus automatically sends steering wheel controls to the unit. So not sure about your specific car
Hello everyone
I want to have an Android 2DIN head unit in my car, but I'm having a really tough time finding out which one I actually want. As we all know there are dozens of different brand names, looks etc. and who knows how many combinations of what's underneath - how do you choose from such a mess?
For example, what I'm looking for:
- a generic 2DIN Head Unit (nobody seems to make one fitting my Lexus IS200 directly so I will just use Metra frame)
- something modern, fast, capable and with good support (manufacturer and/or community) - I reckon I need MTCD/E PX5, right? Is 4GB RAM worth it? Android 8.0, 8.1? Plus there seem to be PX6 on the horizon, should I wait?
- physical buttons and I'd love a volume knob (no steering wheel controls for me)
- stuff like 3G/4G, GPS, wifi, BT, camera etc. seems to be the same so shouldn't be a factor, right?
So, given those parameters, how do I decide which unit to buy? Is the software interchangeable on all PX5 units? Are there any OS differences out of the box?
What about sound quality - is it the same (I see outputs of 4x45W, 48W, 50W - do they actually have different amplifiers?)? Any particular brand names to look for/avoid at all cost?
I've managed to google one useful link [cut] - is this site credible? (unfortunately I'm not allowed to post urls it seems, google "best android head unit" and click the one with wiki.ezvid)
Thanks for all your help!
Hello,
Recently discovered these Chinese Head units like seicane and dasaita. I tried to pick one out on AliExpress and eBay but I am having trouble deciding how to select one. From my understanding there's three main options PX3 (oldest) PX5 (old) and PX6 (newest most expensive). In addition there seems to be some Intel processor versions as well but I do not know how new those are or how much developer support there is. Ideally I want a unit with good sound (DSP) and fast enough to run Waze, Spotify, Google Play Music, and Headunit reloaded. I plan to install it in an 8th gen civic (2006-2011). Which processor currently has the best developer support for custom ROMs because I would also want to wipe the factory ROM off of the device since I don't trust Chinese OS.. In addition what is the principal behind MCU / MTC versions? Is that how the device communicates with the cars computer?
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a used 2010 Prius with an android HU. It's unbranded (noname) and pretty weak (1gb ram). I could live with the android performance issues but the microphone is driving me crazy. Nobody can hear what i'm saying. The unit has an external mic and i wanted to upgrade it to a different one but for some reason, the mic that's connected to the HU has 5 wires (last picture) and the one i ordered only 2 (mono jack). There's also no mic jack. Here are my questions:
1. Is there a way to connect a different mono mic?
2. Does anyone have any idea what unit this is and where i can find a wiring diagram?
3. Can you recommend a better unit? I like the ones that look more like stock, with physical buttons.
4. Any known fix for the error in the picture? "Software has not been authorized legally" when trying to use Easyconnect to mirror my phone.
I need any info i can get, you don't have to have all the answers
Thanks!
I googled "Sp9853i_1h10_vmm" (taken from one of your photos). Turned up quite a few results. I have not had experience with that particular unit but maybe might turn up some useful information for you perhaps.
Not an MTCD, requesting mod moves to [Android Head units] forum.

Thanks for the reply. I've done that first the problem is there are multiple manufacturers with multiple configurations. I contacted Seicane and am still in the process of identifying the unit/software with them but the back and forth is pretty slow..
This is not your "standard" moddable unit, I'm afraid. Most information here and on forums like 4PDA is on units based on 2 main technologies:
1. 8227L Mediatek, system: YT921xx
2. Rockchip PX3, PX5, PX6, PX30 based on MTCx chip.
By having a quick look at what you got, the mic is the least of your problems. These units are packed with so called features but need considerable hardware and software modding to make them work and even excel.
Here is an example of one such modded units, started off as cheap £70 Android, and ended up performing on par with luxury Android units. The video shows the mods, just to give you an understanding.
To save you time, invest in a Dasaita MTCE unit as that one requires least mods to perform well. You can find them for around £200 on AliExpress. Good luck!
Thanks for the info. I'll look into one of the PX chips and go for dasaita.
so i've found a single Dasaita unit for Prius G3 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001625066855.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.20fa2e0eCiCqeA
The problem is i can't find this model on Dasaita website or store and i'm not sure it's real. I've emailed Dasaita but no reply..
There are multiple units from diferent brands (Ownice, Wondefoo..). Can i go for one of those? What should i look for?
Some sellers list the "K6 plus" version as the top of the line. Should i still go for PX6 or is that better?
I am in the market for a custom project I am working on. I am looking for at least a 10" screen, 4 camera inputs (can be 360), carplay, very powerful 6gb ram, and a decent processor. I was looking at the FYT 7862 units. I would like the ability to customize the launcher and have the ability to have a can decoder built-in not only for steering wheel controls. So I have a few questions:
1. Would you suggest the 7862 based units? what other information do I need to get from the supplier to make sure this is a good unit? (I have seen FYT, Ayi, etc as mcu manufacturers so trying to figure out which is best)
2. If not a 7862 based unit, what would you suggest?
3. If I wanted to go all out and have a custom unit designed and money for this project isn't a factor, what components/specs would you suggest? What would make the absolute ultimate head unit with the most functionality?
Thank you for all the help
