Hardware/software upgrade to my Mercedes android headunit possible? - Android Head-Units

Hey,
I'll have to start by saying I know almost nothing about android head units. I bought pretty much the only android head unit available to my 2014 Mercedes Benz A45 AMG a few years back and it's terribly slow. It was some overpriced unit ($700) from some Chinese site I can't remember.
Would it be possible to install a better ROM or a mod to it to make it better?
I'd also be extremely interested in replacing the CPU/RAM with a better one. Would it be possible to just solder on a new CPU and a RAM chip?
I hope someone would be able to help me improve my system in any way. I'm also open to replacing it completely if there are better units available nowadays.
I'm open to all suggestions and any info you might have for me that I should know.
I pulled this data from the head unit system menu (again, I understand nothing about android head unit roms/versions/hardware)

Hi all,

Does anyone know a better version upgrade for me?

Lsailt/Carllt AllWinner T3 P3 unit - Any chances to upgrade android to version 7

Hi,
I have a Lsailt (Chinese/AliExpress) unit in my car and was wondering if anyone had tried to upgrade similar model from Android 6.x to 7.x or higher?
Unfortunately it looks like they keep their MCU/System versions pretty closed off, and I asked the Seller for upgrade and they said there is not one, but reading on forums here there are many Upgrades for Android 7 (and possibly higher?) for the Allwinner T3 P3 based units..
Chipset: AllWinner T3 P3 Quad Core - 2GB Memory - 800x480 output to LCD via LVDS cable.
Android Version: 6.0.1-1044(20180601)
Kernel Version: Linux 3.10.65 - Fri Jun 1 20:54:41 CST 2018
MCU version: Dec 10 2019, 16:54:19. (they dont display the full Allwinner type MCU version on about screens, not sure how else to find this info)
App version: 2018/07/05 17:44 (again dont display version numbers just dates)
Hardware ID: LXCN1700
Lsailt Model Number: LLT-LC-VER7.4.3T
According to their build.prop it shows a T3_P3 MMB29M AllWinner based build, thats about all the info I get from it.
Attached photo of the device (not my photo but it is the same unit).
They have a newer model of this for my car (LLT-FT-VER7.1.6) which comes with Android 7.1.x 2GB or 3GB models... the newer models have a Allwinner T7 CPU 6-core, so theyve bumped up the hardware a tiny bit for the new model to run android 7.
