New E-Tong unit released. Identify hardware?

A new unit was just released for the 2004-2008 Acura TSX, which is a first as removal of the stock radio removes the dual zone climate controls as well. This is an awesome surprise for the TSX community, as before we were stuck with a god awful replacement for the stock CC system if we wanted to use a double din.
Anyhow, I've reached out to E-Tong and a representative sent me some images of the About Device screen. I was hoping the community here might shed some information based on what little info I have.
This is the unit in particular:

Now I'm assuming this has an Intel Sofia 3GR, particularly the Atom x3-C3200RK, as no 3G connectivity is listed for the unit outside of "support 3G dongle". I'm basing this on the Mali-450, lack of native 3G support, and 3200 in "Machine Code Response". Other than that, I'm guessing.
Assuming I'm correct, would the Sofia 3GR with 1GB RAM on 6.0 be adequate for Pandora/Spotify and Waze? I have no real other desired usage outside of that and rare bluetooth calls, with maybe the exception of playing some movie files for my kids on long road trips via a USB drive.
If so, anything to be aware of up front? I'm assuming I should be prepared to remove the unit cover and add a heatsink and fan assembly to the SoC package already. Suggested mods or tweaks?
Any and all information appreciated. I'll be relaying this information to my TSX forums as well. Thanks everyone!

Anyone have any insight?

Hey there, i just bought a radio from aliexpress for my 2003-2007 honda accord and all my info lines up with yours. I was wondering if you found out any information on it? Do you know the firmware to use to update the MCU? Thanks!
** EDIT if you care still lol
Are unit is joying software. If you look on their forum you can find a screen shot that matches ours. I ran that update and ran the root for joying devices from here and it worked great. I got viper4android installed and got some custom mods installed and it's working great.

I am thinking of buying this unit, how is it in your TSX? I currently have a non-nav TSX so I don't know if I will need to mess with the wiring harness or not.

Any help?
I have the same unit, and the clock and GPS doesn't work anymore. I wanted to reset to factory or try and upgrade it. I have it in my TSX now.
Can you advise any suggestions or recommendations?
On every start up the time goes back to 2013, 11:00pm. The only way to fix it, is go find a wifi, since GPS doesnt work.
I tried contacting XEOWYN, with no luck. I regret buying this.

Might be a long shot, but I'm having issues with my unit and would like to try and update the firmware and/or software. I'm currently on android 6.0, been seeing the newer models are on android 8.1. I tried searching through the joying forum as you suggested with no success.... Is there any possible way that you could lead me to a specific solution? Thank you for your time and good day to you.

Got the same device, but still on Android 5.
Joying firmware gets looped on MCU update, if I remove the folder with MCUs and the update binary, it stops with "OTA package and app package need to be updated at the same time"
Any advice?

I CAN'T change the wallpaper of my Seicane car radio...

Hello everyone, i buy this radio and I have several doubts, the first is that it cant change the wallpaper, it puts me action not allowed, does anyone know how I can solve this? only let me put 7 predetermined wallpapers, and there is no option to put a custom, my second doubt is that this radio supposedly brings bluetooth but there is no option to search for devices, just let me connect from the mobile to listen to music, there is some solution? I wanted to know finally if i can root and put a newer android or if I exist an update for this model, I have not found anything in the forum, thank you very much! This is the radio model that I have.

Hello everyone. I received an updated Firmware directly from seicane for their head unit. This is Android 10 update for the 2/32 GB unit. Everything seems to be working great so far on unit. If you would like to try it for yourself please feel free to download and install. I'm not too tech savvy so if you have any questions I'll answer them the best I can. Thought I would share for anyone to update their own unit if possible
PLEASE BE ADVISED YOU USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
I will not be held responsible for any damages done to your own unit.
Thank you!

No, all apps work for now pretty good.
I can't find a way to fix the mic of the stereo though
And change the home screen to make it more convenient.
I tried agama luncher but it get stuck almost every time it turns on

Try factory settings, Code 8888, others >>> mic sensitivity. Work ed for me. Alternativ use mtk engeneer from market

Take a look here : http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=973677
I use Google translate, but I am not brave enough to flash any of the ROMs from there.
I have the same unit I'm my Camry.

I have the same one, bricked it flashing boot.img patched by magisk. Supposedly magisk patched boot.img has to be flashed into 'recovery partition', not 'boot' partition. I have made more or less full backup of the unit but do not know how to enter recovery mode using buttons or shorting wires.
Regards

I have a Hizpo Android10 head unit with the same MCU version (I think, first letters are same: S32F0). Also interested in if there are updates available and how the h**l you can acivate recovery mode with button presses.

Hoping as time passes more will get these HU's and eventually root and cook a ROM for them.
Mine has a number of issues,
1) The OEM reverse camera only works for 3 seconds when selecting reverse then it switches off
2) The basic DSP works but the more advanced DSP doesn't
3) GPS is very inaccurate
4) No RDS
5) Volume and radio channels change by themselves
6) Car settings don't work
7) Open doors indicator is switched around, left door open shows right door on HU.

Are you sure you have the same unit?
Because:
1) My reverse camera works,
2) DSP Works
3) Gps never give me problem, error of 3 meters is normal
4) RDS works perfectly
5)Never happen to me
6) car setting works, i changed SW and other settings
7) I didnt have that functions (in my car) so i cannot test

I have a RK3368 RockChip PX5 head unit with MCU S32F0 processor, I have no idea what one you have or if it's the same.
What I listed are the problems with mine, why I don't know, but as there's not much other recourse hopefully a ROM update might fix things with mine.

Thanks, I had seen that but the first post says (translated):
"There is essentially no information about it, there are no modified firmware either., The firmware in the header was sent by the seller and was not checked for operability, it is up to you to sew or not.
There were no known attempts to get root on the device."
so it doesn't seem much has been done

The gps works well.
No GPS navigator in the rom.
Torque OBD included
WeTransfer

Installation:
Copy the zip file to a USB stick or SD card formatted in FAT32
Put in the radio on, press RESET
The installation is done at restart, duration 10mns, remove the key or the SD when installation finished and green screen displayed.

I have an really odd problem with my HU, the reverse camera view goes off as soon as one starts moving and comes back on when stopped again. I fixed most of the other issues I had but this one still persists.
It's an Android 9 HU in a Ford Ranger PXII/T6.
Any ideas?

I had the same issue it turn out the video cable going from the headunit to the camera was bad

I have a Hizpo Android "10" Headunit (Advertising claims Android 10, but the unit actually runs Android 9). This model is specifically designed for BMW E90 Series cars, but I'm sure the chipset and software is the same across their devices. (Part: AD8CHKSOI2I08772)
Specs are the Cortex A53 Octa-core and 4GB Samsung DDR3.
Here is the Build number information from inside Android settings:
ANDROID: 213328
MCU: S32F0_XinRC-18_20199820_HA1_6686_D_FF_C8
APP: PX5_C54_HA1_XRC_EN2019-09-02-2008
The password for the factory settings on my unit is "0000".
Inside here there are a couple useful features such as:
1. Mute Radio on system startup
2. Reverse Doors for Car Overlay Feature
3. Change Boot Splash Screen
I am hoping to root this device so I can hide the Android navigation bar and convert over to gesture controls only, enable USB data tethering with my iPhone, and disable some system services/apps as the device can be laggy at times, unacceptable behavior with 8 cores and 4GB RAM, especially in mid 2020!
But overall I am happy with the device.

Bought my new head unit for Jeep Grand Cherokee from Erisin.
It is the new model ES8176J, PX5 Octa Core with 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM.
I was supposing that it was a MTCx but it seems that the MCU is the S32F0 one.
Do you know where I can find updates, modded ROM, root, etc?

I have a Zltoopai unit for a BMW e82. Think pretty much the same as jahjah440.
ANDROID: 145358
MCU: S32F0_XinRC-18_20200527_HD1_7708_D_FF_DSP_C8
APP: PX5_C54_HA1_Xrc2_EN2020-06-05-1728
I'm running it with a Carlinkit carplay dongle which works great. It just doesn't allow me to run radio in the background. I'd like to be able to set the carlinkit app as navigation app so it won't mute the radio. I can't do that now.
Want to get rid of the stock launcher because the unit keeps asking me to chose between that and Agama...
If it can do that it's perfect. Now it's pretty good.

Lexxson Android 10.1 Head Unit

Hello I just bought and installed this head unit in my Honda Civic 2012:
LEXXSON Android 10.1 Car Radio Stereo 10.1 inch Capacitive Touch Screen High Definition GPS Navigation Bluetooth USB Player 2G DDR3 + 16G NAND Memory Flash for Honda Civic 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
Product Description Still using the old stereo in the car? It is time to replace it with a smart device to bring more brilliance to your car. Based on the Android platform, users can download any applications in his favorite. The device has a powerful Quad Core CPU with 2GB DDR3 and 16GB NAND...
lexxson.com
I'm trying to figure out how to change the home launcher, but no matter what settings I change to set it to the AGAMA home launcher, it will not stick, and goes to the one that came with the unit. Any suggestions would be fantastic that I try. And if there is any other info that would be necessary, I'll try to provide it asap. If I'm breaking any rules with this post, I'll try to fix my post and get more in line. I'm new here
Edit: Note, I'm willing to do anything including flash it with a new android version etc. I just don't know where to even start looking, and usually it's the K.I.S.S. method that works best.

Asked to move this thread to the "Android Head units" .
This is most probably an MT/AC8227L (which means your Android 10.1 is fake) or an AC8257 unit (less probable due to the 1.3GHz).
There are multiple posts about the launcher in the other sub-forum

Hey, did you figure out how to do this? I bought and installed the exact same head unit you did 3 days ago and I'm having the EXACT same issue. Setting the default home launcher makes no difference, and I also chose the Agama Launcher. It's almost like Lexxson made a custom android launcher that overrides whatever we try to do to it.
If I find a solution before you do I'll post it here.
