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 guys,
I am quite new to the whole world of Android head-units. I've found a unit that fits my car and before I buy it I was just wondering if you guys could help me out a bit.
The unit is: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Android-4...RE-/281909711323?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368
It states that it is a RK3088 unit, although it must be RK3166 if it's quad-core, right?
https://youtu.be/DK4O1XGn0nM?t=3m13s - looking at the description it seems it's a HuiFei type MCU MX.
I note that the XDA repository doesn't include firmware updates for this MCU - does this mean that I won't ever be able to update the firmware? Would the custom ones (Masaryk?) work on this MCU?
I've also read that the microphone is pants, which is why every seller is including some-kind of an external one, in this case a bluetooth one. How does a microphone like that get powered? Is it a difficult to get power to it when installing?
My apologies if this is the wrong forum.

Hello people
Last year (2019) I purchased a Pioneer AVIC-Z710DAB head unit for my car. After realizing that the maps on the GPS are very old and awfully expensive to update, I really want to root the device and install an Android- or Linux based custom rom. Obviously I do not want to install a custom rom that does not provide equal functionality to the Pioneer system, but I don't want to keep the Pioneer system any longer as the GPS functionality is useless with old maps and the also old available updated maps are $150. I realize that the rooting and installation of a new system will require some time / work, but this does not matter a long as it's possible to do it!
Does anyone know if there is such a thing as custom roms that support functionality such as Bluetooth mobile devices, GPS, DVD / CD / MP3 discs, DAB+ and rear view camera etc?
Where can I find this rom and installation instructions? I have searched online for hours, but so far I have only found one page containing broken links.
As I am a new member on this forum, I cannot share this link in this post. But the page title is "The AVIC development MOD", from around 2016 and all links are broken / not working.
Any information is highly appreciated!
Best regards,
The norwegian guy
You won´t find anything...
Custom ROM will not be shared in here. There is no community for it.
Nearly all Pioneer head units have a proprietary OS. It seems to be android based.

Hello. Still have not tried the link I was given by rigattoni, but I was wondering if anyone has any update on this?
I am now considering to buy a new head unit with Android OS. but this seems like a risk. Most of the ones I have seen are to me previously unknown Chinese brands and I do not trust any Pioneer head units with Android OS to work with Google maps and/or Waze amongst other apps!
- Is there any way to replace the OS of a Pioneer unit with Android OS with working standard Android apps and Google Play?
- If not; Are the Chinese head units with Android OS any good? Example brands are Erisin and Eonon, which seem to come with Android 10.
Thank you in advance!
Hi, have y'all seen this info/forum yet? It refers to information regarding development for the Pioneer head unit(s) OP was asking about. Edit: Going back over, I see OP specifically mentions this forum. Well thank you

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.
Hey, I got this new car head unit multimedia and I want to know HOW I can upgrade its firmware and WHERE can I find the firmware files because I searched and couldn't find them, And I would like to have Android auto in my car
Below there are screenshots of the head unit details.
Thanks in advance
Not Android Auto, requested moderator move to (Android head units).
First point of contact is seller, what do they offer.
Op try searching forums (SP9853I_1H10) there is loads of information from what I could see.
Also, if you want Android Auto, these Chinese greyboxes are NOT.

Android Auto works with hundreds of vehicles and aftermarket stereos. Check your compatibility here.

A couple of years ago I bought this head unit for my F10 BMW:
12.3 inch Bigger Stand Screen... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KZXG42G?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I am not a fan of the interface and there are a bunch of issues as well. I would like to install another rom but I am not sure what I should be looking for. First, are there even roms for this head unit/processor? Second, is it worth it or will it just inject more issues? I have installed roms on quite a few devices but never a head unit. Thanks!
Try searching forums for prefix of MCU version, or posting details of Android system information including MCU version
I have the same situation. Do I need to change the whole headunit for android 12 or is it possible to update this unit?
