Hello Everyone,
I have what is sold as a "Android GPS Navigation Box". I plan to use it with a video interface on my E61 BMW. I've tested everything and it works, but I'd like to root the device and *hopefully* find some custom roms. Here is the company website:
http://www.cardvdnavi.com/Andnroid-GPS
This is labeled as a GPS-900. They have the same unit with direct interfaces for Kenwood, JVC, and Pioneer head units.
It is a Allwiner A7 t3_p1 CPU. I'm not sure if I should be looking here in Android Head units or maybe in the tablet forum?
Any and all help is much appreciated!
Here's a copy of the manual
Nothing?
I have bought a PX6 and A FYT Meekde 700 unit. Neither have been able to connect to my standalone ECUs Bluetooth module. I read somewhere on here most devices do not support full stack Bluetooth. I will admit the fine inter-workings of Bluetooth are outside my wheelhouse. I have a syvecs ecu and would like to be able to display my cars information through their app onto my headunit. I can connect to the device via phone and laptop no issues.
Any suggestions? Is there a android headunit that may work?
Edited for MCU versions
FYT Medeke 700 is MCU Version 2021.10.09 10:12:29 YIN_53_L6315_G23P48F64_E60_V1.0
PX6 is RK3386 MTCE_AW_v3.78_1
Nobody knows what a px6 and mekede is.
Postt android system info including mcu versions

@marchnz You originally suggested to me a FYT would solve the problem. Here
Unit seems to function overall better in most ways. Though using the android headunit along with the Syvecs app was the sole reason for the purchase.

That's odd, I even have my valentine one working via BLE.
Yeah im not sure what the cause could be. The headunits wont connect to it at all. No issue connecting to any other device i have tried.(Android tablet, Phones, Ipad) everything else works flawlessly.
Pondering dividing down carputer/tablet headunit install. Just dont want to lose other functionality like steering wheel controls.
Any insight or testing that can help narrow down a solution please let me know. Willing to pay for a solution at this point.

I will not be the one delivering any solution, but as you should have the unit rooted, have you ever pulled the logs while trying to connect? Search for Logcat extreme and set the log level to Debug. May be you can find the issue in there.
I haven't yet. I will

Have a look at the RealDash app for Android, can work better for you than the Syvecs one.

This actually could work just need to set up the xml file. And see what adapter real dash needs. I will have to do some more research but looks promising so far. Thank you very much.
The xml file is straightforward to do.
Canbus adapter that looks like this one work well.

I have a Subaru Forester Limited with the Harmon Kardon audio system that came stock with the car.
I'm looking to upgrade to something that will provide Android Auto and Apple Carplay without needing to plug in the phone. I'm currently leaning towards Idoing but am open to any suggestions you all might have.
I don't have much experience when it comes tinkering with electronics or cars, so I figured one of these all one solutions would make it the easiest for me. This way I'm not going to be splicing any wires and it will all be plug and play (I hope).
I've reached out to Idoing because I'm not exactly sure which model I would even pick. These are the ones that seem to fit my vehicle, but I'm not 100% sure.
Idoing 9"Android Head Unit For Subaru WRX STI XV Forester 2016-2021 Car Autoradio Multimedia Video Player Navigation Stereo GPS
Idoing 9"2.5D QLED Car Android Radio GPS Multimedia Player Head Unit 4G+64G For Subaru WRX Forester 2016-2020 Navigation NO 2DIN
Idoing 9"Car Android Radio GPS Multimedia Player IPS 2.5D For Subaru Forester 2016-2018 4G+64G 8 Core Navigation Zlink Head Unit
So am I looking the wrong direction? Is there a brand that I'm overlooking that would be better for me to get?
Thanks.
Ask seller to provide screenshots of Android System information, including MCU. With that you could know what is being offered and then research the forums.
You probably want a UIS7862 FYT based uint.

Thank you! I'm going to add that to my list of questions for them.
Hey guys,
So I was interested in getting the Teyes CC3 head unit for my 2013 Accord EX-L that comes with dual screen. Teyes doesn’t offer compatibility with the trim of my car since it only supports the single screen model. But I came across the Ossuret head unit which is compatible with my car and was wondering if I could apply their canbus decoder onto the Teyes head unit or any canbus decoder from AliExpress onto the head unit. If you guys have any solution or information that would be a great help.
Similar question. Anyone ?
Why not asking Teyes if they support that specific CAN box?
They're selling an universal unit so that should be a legitimate question.

I contacted them, but they just said custom harness. From my research though the accord uses BNR. No way for me to know till i try so hopefully when my harness comes it'll work.
Hello all,
I would like to get some valuable advice from you.
I lost overview on the Head Units. I am currently using an older Android 10 HU which broke.
The Screen ist very dark und reacts super slow.
GPS never worked properly!
I don't know the brand and there are absolutely no updates.
On top of that I had to install a janky Arduino nano with CAN-Bus emulation for the Flap-Screen.
So here I try to ask you:
Which Android head unit manufacturer has the highest quality?
Are there actually multiple manufacturers?
Which offers Softwareupdates?
Thank you very much!
Best
