Hello,
about two years ago I purchased myself a nice head unit for my BMW and it has been working nice since then, but it's on Android 9 and Google Maps won't update anymore on my unit. I'd like to know how to upgrade my unit to newer Android version and if it's even possible. Disclaimer - I've never done that before so I'd like to do it as safely as possible so I won't accidentaly brick it because os wrong software or something
The specs listed in the device are as follows:
Android version: 9
Compilation number: rk3358-userdebug 9 PQ2A. 190305.002 20190612.101357 test-keys
Kernel version: 4.4.167
MCU version: MTCE_CHS_V3.02_1
Also, there are MCU update and device update buttons in the settings, but the device won't do anything when I press the device update button and MCU update one tells me that there is no MCU file. What is this?
Not a single person know how to do that?

So I shouldn't post on XDA but rather search for MTCD forums?
Suggest a read of the MTCD sub-forum of XDA. Your unit is an MTCD/E, which there is plenty of info about.

Hello, I am having issues with my chinese head unit. Its dropping the right audio channel. It plays out of all speakers but just the left channel. I'm hoping reflashing could solve the issue as support has been no help. Settings do not share the mcu and I have enabled developer mode. Here are the details I do have.
Model Number 8227L_demo
Android Version 9.1
Kernel Version 3.18.22
Build number android-trunk-m0.AC8227L-V1.0
This is the only info supplied by the About section in settings.
I have same issue.
Not only can I not get MCU info I cannot use letters in factory settings passwords so cannot enable ADB. Any help would be appreciated.

I also have a 8227L head unit, its a Seicane. MCU is TS907.190518, and I'm wondering if there is any MCU update for this unit. It states I'm running Android 9.1 Any help finding a suitable MCU update for this head unit would be much appreciated!

I think yours is one of the most updated. I have one says up to date but it's on 8 or 8.1
Hello there! I am a new member in this forum, and after searching a lot (and being confused a lot) about my newly installed Android Head Unit, i decided to post some questions i have, hoping for answers from some people with more knowledge than mine.
About a month ago i got a head unit installed on my Opel Corsa D and from there on i kept digging into it.
The manual of the HU was branded as "Bizzar Multimedia" so i can't know the exact manufacturer, so i can't really search for updates
As it was advertised to me and as the info of it says, it is an Android 9 version, but i know it is lower, like 7.
Here are some info about the HU:
CPU: 1.6Ghz 4 Core T3 Allwinner Cortex-A7
RAM: 2GB DDR3
ROM: 16GB
Android version: 9
MCU Version: T5.3.19-122-81-A46601-200528
System version: V8.1.0_20200616.105644_KLD4-CarPlay-P
Kernel version: 4.9.56
Version Number: t3_p1-eng 8.1.0 OPM1.171019.026 20200420-180438
test-keys
My (probably) dumb questions now...
1. Is there any way i can upgrade the head unit to a real Android 9+?
I think that the version it says is fake cause i have seen some Android 9 units, and it is nothing like mine
2. I want to understand about MCU updates and how i can make one if there is any newer MCU
I want to undestand more so i hope i am asking the right questions.
I am sorry for my luck of knowledge but if somehow i can provide some more info, please tell me how to...
Hello,
I have an question about my Radical R-C10VW1 Android Head Unit, it is regarding the MCU version.
My Radical R-C10VW1 Android Head Unit has the following specifications:
Processor type: UltraOcta-T8
Android version: 7.1.2
MCU version: T8.3.19-108-81-943101-181031
System version: V9.2.2_20200630.142043_KBT11-G
When I tap 3 times on the MCU version I get the following information:
OPEL (T8.3.19, CONFIG, RDS, BC6, Color, 1DIN FZ, Rohm37XXX, TEF668X)
My question is, is "OPEL" what is stated in the above MCU version information the brand of the car?
I also want to know the password for the factory settings for my Android Head Unit, so far I only have the code 8888.
I think when I enter this code it is the code for the User Settings, I still want to know the code for the Factory Settings.
I already try a lot of passwords from a lot of sites.
Regards,
Robert

Can anyone can help me know that my unit can upgrade to newest MCU + new android version.
Im contacting the seller and asking why they shipped me the unit that didnt match the Specs from them.
Not (Android auto) requested moderator move to [Android Head-units] forum.
Op - you probably want to send your unit back and receive the unit you paid for.
I would return that for a full refund. No excuses and with no haggling.
