hi friends, i changed my stereo in the car, before i had an mctd and i had no problem changing android, but now i read this model and i see that no one develops, why? can i change mcu? what exactly is this mcu?
I would like to change android, now I have 9 but the rom I don't like what do you recommend?
...not Android Auto.
In response to your questions: these are an obscure model for which there isn't any active development. They're also really buggy.
Have a think about buying a MTCD and being happy with the bugs, replacing with a certified Android Auto head unit or developing your own ROM.
ops sorry , move in Android Head Units ?

Get rid of it. Unless it is an MTCx unit, there is little point in investing time or money.

Hello everybody,
I have a passat B7 2011 version with a original RNS510.
The RNS510 works good, but I want more, so i want to buy a android head unit.
Will now I almost searching for a month for a good device, but I see many head units and now I don't know what to do.
Want I want is a unit with 4GB/32GB and android 8. These days PX5 is it for the processor. But I saw also PX6 will come out? Is it better to wait for that, or take a PX5? I also want hardware keys, I think its easier then everything touchscreen.
Now I found this and it seems to me a good system:
https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-best-vw-android-head-unit.html
But I also want to have a custom rom for the system, to personalize. The seller told me it'''s not possible to install a custom rom on this head unit, but the roms who I see, seems to be possible (PX5 processor and 4GB.) MCTB or MTCD, how can I see if this head unit (Joying) has that?
But there are more head units. There is maybe a better one, or same one and cheaper then a joying?
It must work with the steering wheel and canbus. Even with MFA if possible (Music, phone and navi…)
At least. I also want to install tomtom go on it. I have a APK and OBB files, so the question is. Can it on an SD to save internal memory?
Many question, but I want to buy a good one to have enough pleasure.
Thanks
Greetz
MFA interaction is limited in the Chinese headunits. Navigation is not possible, only with the original rns. Music shows only a track number, fm radio shows only a frequncy, bluetooth interaction is not possible. You will loose your original bluetooth.

Hello Everyone.
I need help identify my headunit if it is based on software that other headunits use, so I can get better support for the built in radio apps etc in launchers like FCC.
The headunit is a custom build unit for the Ford FG Falcon by Kayhan Audio. I think I've seen photos of the same apps on other units on google so I assume Kayhan has used a generic unit to build on. This is my first android headunit so I don't recognize anything.
I have attached some screenshots of apps and the settings about menu, hopefully this will allow someone to identify it for me.
Thank you!

It looks like it could be an allwinner head unit. Do a search for MCU version which should be a forum showing all MCU version manufacturers.

Hey did you have any luck with this?
Hi guys, I'm sure there's something around somewhere but my google fu is currently letting me down.
I've recently bought a PSD50WRJL from XTRONS (Android 10 head unit shaped to fit some older Jeeps) has anyone seen any custom roms for this head unit?
Is it an MTCD type? Have a read through, its unlikely anyone can answer your question as xtrons are a reseller. Model numbers are mostly meaningless. Your MCU version will either reveal or provide a hint to who manufactured you unit, the type and if a custom ROM is available.
Don't panic, nearly everyone makes the mistake of thinking that the model number identifies the unit. Take some time to read up.

How can I tell what type it is?
I've also seen it called alps FF-5000
I've read further on MTC(B/C/D/E) and I'm not sure that this head unit fits any category. My MCU is: TS907.190518(W)
Hi I have the same headunit XTRONS PSD50WRJL. I'm using Erisin ES364 USB box with DAB Z APP but I'm encountering serious problems in hearing DAB stations .... Any idea ?
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.
Hi all,
Some time ago I found a thread on here that directed people how to reimage the head unit with an Android Auto. Is this possible for all head units, or are there things to watch out for? I tried searching but could not find the relevant info(Could be on me).
If I go into About Device of the Head Unit all it shows me RK3368 as name, no more info. All I can find is a thread how to update a headunit with the PX5 to Android 10, which it is already running. If possible I'd really like to flash Android Auto on it, as the current solution feels a bit like a bandaid solution.
Bump
Found some more info. It's a S32F0 MCU, with a PX5 board.
Still trying to figure out if it's MTCB or MTCD and if I can flash Android Auto on it. Any help would be appreciated

Okay so here is an obvious question - why on earth would you put Android Auto on a real Android device? Android Auto is a scaled down version of true Android with some "lite" functionality and support for some basic apps. Android Auto is for those who (for some reason) can't install a proper Android Head Unit.
To put it simply, you can do everything on your Android that you can on Android Auto but not the other way around.
You have S32F0 as MCU, meaning it's not MTCx. Luckily for you, you can still use the only mod that matters - Malaysk. Forget anything else. With Malaysk you can customize your head unit with nearly no limitations to make it fast, user friendly and overall just awesome.
Go to this thread and follow it's instructions.

Hi Ice,
Thank you for you answer!
My main reason is the ability to mirror screen. I don't have a 4G dongle attached to my radio, as that is quite expensive over here. So I was thinking to be able to use my own phone as mirror onto the radio to navigate, play spotify etcetera.
For example I can copy my phonebook to the head unit, unfortunately both me and my wife use the car, which causes a very long contact list with duplicates etc.
What I've seen with friends is that Android Auto fixes some of those issues, as you don't run a seperate instance of the phonebook or whatever, but it's a mirror from your phone.
I've seen Malaysk's post, but also read in the thread there are quite some issues and support is flaky at best. Are those posts stirring sh*t for no reason, or do they have a point?
Finally, the seller claims my headunit is real Android 10, with build number 205150. I cannot find anywhere if this is real Android 10, or the so called fake android 10.

Mirror screen functionality on Android Head Units is shaky at best.
You don't need 4G dongle - hotspot from your phone to give access to the Internet on your head unit - that way you can run any Android app on the head unit, Spotify, YouTube, Internet Radio etc etc. Make sure to give full permissions to your phone
Use BlueTooth on your phone to use handsfree calling. Use Google Voice to dial any number (no need to mess with Contact Books), your wife can do the same and your Android Head Unit will not sync contacts back to your phone
I know Malaysk developer as I'm also a Russian-speaker and his work is exemplary. If anything, his firmware is by far more stable and effective compared to anything you get from factory. People who complain about it, simply do not have the right skills of installing it and using it. Spend some time with Malaysk tutorials - well worth it. Malaysk also offers ROOT natively and Viper4Android which means you can tweak most parameters on your head unit and considerably improve the sound in your car.
Doesn't matter what Android version you have. You should go with Malaysk firmware for Android 9 (most stable). You will need to get a "rollback" software to successfully install it if your Android is anything but version 9. For that you'll need to purchase MOD Installer Pro 2 for €10
Whatever is possible to do your Android Head Unit will only be possible with Malaysk. If Malaysk can't support it, then it's simply not doable.
You can also look into "profiles" on your Head Unit. I.e one profile will have your stuff, and the other one will have your wife's.
