So I purchased a Chinese 10.1 Android Head-unit from Amazon. It’s was specific for my 2009 Toyota Corolla. According to the seller they are stating it has Android 10.1 which obviously isn’t true per investigating. So I’m pretty well versed in rooting androids from this community. I’ll attach my specs in a picture but I’m trying to figure out what’s the misted updated version and newest root that’s working on these rn. Any help would be appreciated. I have looked in the forums and have found a lot of root versions but I’m looking for the best.
FYI I have the 2G/32G U

Gang,
Let me be honest. I'm not an Android guy. I have nothing against the OS, I just have extremely limited experience with the platform as I got caught early in the Apple life cycle and have far to much invested in it to jump ship now. That being said I recognize the flexibility of the Android OS which is what brings me here. In the past I've built a one-off carputer before the equipment was widely available (2003-4) and have always missed the flexibility that gave me. With the current generation of Android based head units out there now I'd really like to add that functionality to my new 2015 Jeep Wrangler. The ability to have topographical maps, constantly up to date street maps, OBD II, full audio support for any audio format I want, and the ability to install any other app I want is amazing. Here's where I need your help.
TL : DR - I know nothing about Android head units and need advice.
I had originally been looking at the JK1001 from Insane Audio but can't bring myself to pay $1000 for an Android head unit. So I did some digging and found a quad core unit on AliExpress (Product ID: 32366565407) and it's really peaked my interest. Can anyone tell me anything more about this specific unit? Anyone own one?
Also, I'd love to run an external DAC on it that has 4V+ preamp outputs. Is such a thing made? Do they make a 4 channel DAC for Android head units?
Thanks for all you help!
did you ever get an Android Head Unit? I was also looking at the JK1001, but agree it is way over priced
Good evening gents,
I hate being that guy on a new forum with one post asking for his hand to be held, but this is my first Android/Chinesium headunit and I'm unsure what to expect.
So I've bought a Xtrons PCD7739B that has been refurbished on eBay. Was over half the price, but has come fully packaged in a sealed bag with the screen protector still on it, so it seems basically brand new.
First impressions are good. I can't plug my S7 Edge in and use the head unit to access files on it - the phone complains that there's something wrong. Bluetooth works good and I can use screen mirroring.
I'll finish rigging it up at the weekend, but at this stage I'm trying to understand what I can do with it. The operating system that's on it does work fine, it just seems a bit "Chinese".
I'm trying to find in lay-man's terms why rooting would be good, if I can root it or what other apps/things could I do to improve it. Functionality, it seems to be good and from what I've read - it's like rooting means you can sometimes lose some functionality due to software bugs.
I've checked out the System section and there's:
Android Version: 7.1.1
MCU Version: T5.3.19-36-10-E53201-171204
System Version: V8.3.2_20180716.143957_MLT4-DVD
DVD Version: 2.13.15-860mc-150417
I've searched for T5.3.19 and I'm not finding much, so I'd rather not just do my usual and go ram-stamming in and understand what I'm doing, why, and if it's the right thing.
So TL;DR:
I have a PCD7739B
The OS is fine but could be nicer
Is rooting necessary?
Are there other apps that would make it better?
What rooting options are there/does anyone have links to ROMs?
I appreciate any help you guys can offer.
Cheers,
Adam.
So I emailed Xtrons on the same night I posted this and they got back to me saying that they haven't updated the firmware for this model in quite some time and that it is not suitable for rooting.
Not sure how much I believe of the second part but meh.
I've asked this question before and never got a straight answer, but I really need some help. These units are getting confusing with Specs. I'd like a unit that can be modded or a new ROM flashed onto it. I've got a older Joying unit.
I'm just really confused which 7" unit to buy.
Thanks,
Rick
sortof in the same boat, longtime Android mobile user of custom roms but no clue where to even start for a double din unit
Good afternoon everyone.
This is my 1st post, so I will try to keep it short and simple.
I would like thank everyone taking their time to read this post.
I just purchased a Used car and I am looking to upgrade the head unit as it comes with the factory one which is very outdated.
I have been searching online for different options but I am always coming across 2 makes, in the OEM style of head units
These makes are: XTRONS and ERISIN
They share some models with many similarities, but I would like a better opinion
Does anyone know if one make is better than the other?¿
I have eyed 2 head units which are pretty much identical in Specs and also in looks

Then I had another alternative with a non OEM:

Can someone advise me which makes is better or if there is something better on the market?
Much appreciated
