Hello all!
First of all, I am an android noob, so please don't mind me if I ask an obvious question.
I recently got a head unit with the specs as in the image bellow.

}
I got this HU from a local reseller (who BTW wasn't very knowledgeable about the topic) and he told me that in order to use CarPlay or Android Auto, I'll need to install an app. Since then, I've been browsing the forums and trying to install multiple versions of Zlink I found on the forums, but all I get is the "App not installed" message. I believe this is due to the unrooted firmware of the head unit.
Today as I was browsing the forums I found a link to the xyAuto file server and there I found an "update" for the head unit which has wireless carplay in the name (image 2).
My question is: Is it safe to update my head unit with this update and will it automatically install a carplay app like Zlink? The last thing I want to do is to brick my device...
Thanks and stay safe!

Hi all,
a couple of weeks ago i bought me a 8inch android headunit, fitted for vw/skoda/seat.
The sellers advert says its an Erisin DU8015, now when i'm looking on erisin's website, that model isn't listed at all ??
it is an MTCD LM unit, RK3188, 1gb ram... the usual. factory settings password is 3368
I want to know for sure, before updating to malaysk's rom which seems to be a lot better than the original software that it came with... before i install it and find out there might be issues, i would want to make sure i can go back to the original software if needed.
Does anyone have an idea ?

-when i google / youtube the erisin du8015 it seems to be a wince version, but it's actually an android 5.1.1 looking quite similar too joying etc. (a load of look-a-likes found when you search 8inch vw, but all with different hardware key layouts)
First, I want to say thank you to a wonderful site.
I bricked my XTRONS PSD60UNK head unit over the weekend while trying to learn about rooting etc, so this site is a life saver. I thought I had properly saved the bin from the unit prior to doing anything as the name of the file that was copied to my SD card called "ts8227Lfactory.bin" but it is only a 4kb file.
I found a thread with a older 8227L bin and another showing a video on how to enable the unit to discover the file from the USB drive on boot up and able to restore it tonight.
Here is the radio showing the bin/firmware it uses:

}
It appears to be running on Android 10, although there are references to version 8.1 on some files...
I reached out to XTRONS Monday morning to see if I can obtain the correct firmware/binary (see pic) but they are slow to respond, so I thought I'd ask if anyone here might be able to provide it or a link to it in the meantime.
Thank you in advance.
Where did u get thus Android 10 bin file from and how to upgrade from sdcard?
Can someone figure out what kind of Android unit this is?
Use to have PX3 and PX5 on my former cars , but this one is not that easy to recognize:

They sell this unit as Prius 20 Android unit ( https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000521643427.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.7ed46eefoMcttb )
It working fine but miss some things I had with Hal9K, so would like to know if this unit will be able to use this Rom (or if not possible other Rom)
As I see it's not a Rockchip, but Intel SC9853i
What are you missing?
Seems it has Android 10 or A fake android 10.
I want to had a ad-blocker. And this unit does not give me the normal Settings page of android when entering but a self made menu. Only in some occasion i can get some normal Android setting
i need to give permission to use 3rd party apps because my Online TV app is not working.
thanks..So I do have a Joying unit. That is a start
unfortunately all firmware on given link are Android 8.1 and I run already 10.
Need to do some research how to root and install new roms. Never done this on a Intel unit
Then install Quickshortcutmaker from play store and search for the application Search Suggestion. Through this Android search i found all hidden settings in my unit
Thanks..Will try that
Good evening everyone I have recently buyed a used car (Alfa Romeo MiTo) and I found a PX6 car radio already mounted on it.
I would have some questions to ask you (I am attaching the specifications in the photo):
- On the car stereo is installed the hal9k 5.0.0 version based on android 10, I was reading on the internet that the stock 11 version was released, now my problem is that i don't know exactly who the manufacturer of the stereo is, even if only to be able to reinstall the stock and get an idea.
- I delighted in updating the MCU bringing it to the latest version available on the net looking for MCTE_LY ..... But I saw that there are also other types of "MCTD" for example or "MCTE_XX" with two other final letters; I wanted to try to understand how the nomenclature works? Are they incremental letters? Is one worth the other? Is there a better ones or a worse?
Thanks to those who answer, I think that in the meantime, understanding that '' beast '' is could help me ....

Hi everyone,
My head unit started to not go into sleep mode anymore and would take 5 to 15 mins or even more to boot up. I tried all options in the engineering test mode setting. Sometimes it would freeze too.
I've tried doing a factory reset several times as well as re-flashing the firmware (tried two different) ones. I was told not to use the "computer paint brush" firmware, which I do not know what it means.
Any suggestions on how to fix it would be appreciated. Thanks!
Is unit an MTCD type unit, post Android system information including MCU version

I believe it is MTCD.
It booted up this morning, but froze. Now it is stuck on the Android screen.
I put in the USB flash zip file on a stick connected to the USB port, but it does nothing. I think for these radios, you have to get it to boot up before it works.
