Hi everyone,
I have been reading threads about those android head units for a while and I plan on buying an ownice c500 for my old mercedes w203.
That being said I prefer to wait for an octa core. Ownice's 8 core hu should be out by the end of march at best and price tag will be about 450 euros for the version I want.
What do you guys think of that Skyshadow brand and of their android hu?
Price is decent and so are specs soc is probably an rk3368?

anyone?
If that's truly an exact duplicate of the ownice C500 (I don't see details about the 4G sim, specifically), it's substantially cheaper. Very interested

It's indeed cheaper but I never heard of those hu's so I don't know what to think.

Have just ordered this one after much mucking around on here, EBay, Aliexpress
I wanted these specs or 64gb.. Didn't want to wait for it.. Was seemingly good value, seems they do no social media marketing at all and are fairly unknown.. But produce a lot, seems popular in Russia?
From what I've gathered so far, it's an MTCD unit with a PX5. More than likely pretty close to the Ownice units, though there might be some difference in the amplifier and radio/Bluetooth chips

well, we shall see, the seller has been quite helpful so far, hoping for root and eventual custom roms..

Nice feel free to give some feedback when u got your headunit, seems very nice though
YAY! AliExpress finally sent me a notification to say it's shipped, it's been a long wait since I ordered it, though he's been responding to messages, perhaps he has no backup inventory and buys as he goes or something?
so ordered the head unit, DAB+ tuner, OBD2 dongle, wireless video transmitter, little dome camera (found another that may fit tail light so might use this as a front PVR if all goes to plan?)
am vaguely interested in getting a DVB tuner but probably won't..
hoping that with the ISO connection cable to Honda Jazz/Fit connector I ordered separately it will be relatively plug and play like the speaker adapters I bought..

hello I have ina Skyshadow Px6 with Android 9 and dsp installed on Jeep Wrangler with amplifier, every now and then no audio is heard, I have to turn off the radio and radio to listen to the audio, what can it be? thanks
I need to upgrade my deadly slow Android Head unit and I am so confused. I have a Hyundai Tucson (Ix35) 2016. I miss my old Joying head unit, but they seem to have nothing that fits my fascia (please correct me if I’m wrong). I think I will have to buy from AliExpress so I will have no support at all from the seller (correct me again if I’m wrong). So I want to get a device that is well supported by xda developers. I like when I can get a better firmware from here.
Checking the specs, should I take...
- 8” screen with buttons or 10.1” screen without buttons
- Android 8, 8.1 or 9 ?
- Which chip?
- Which mcu?
- PX5 or PX6 or something else. If you say PX6, would you prefer an octa core px5 or a 6 core px6?
- Is it really worth it to take the max RAM/ROM available?
- How can I make sure it won’t stop working when it’s freaking hot or freaking cold like my current unit. I hate my current head unit for that. My previous Joying head unit was not weather sensitive like this one.
- On which website should I purchase it. If you say AliExpress, do you know a good seller or a good brand?
Anything else I should know before purchasing?
Thanks
What country are you in?
You might consider buying through Amazon. get something with a bunch of feedback, a half-decent star score, and sold by either Amazon itself or the manufacturer/official distributor --- NOT because that's solid information, but because the Chinese companies who watch their ratings will actually offer tech support and send you free replacements if you give them 1* ratings and kick up a fuss in Amazon feedback
10" is nice if you have the room for it. 7" stuff looks super-dated in comparison, regardless of actual specs
I don't want to spend a lot of money. I already have 8227l chinese headunit from aliexpress for 120$ but there is poor sound coming from it and it's a bit slow. So searching something with PX5, and standard 2 din. What should I look at? (living in europe, so no amazon com) Is there anything "best"? Most moddable for example, or easy to root and with a lot of custom rom in this community?
Will something like this ok?

Or maybe price is too high?
Hey folks
A few years ago I was following PX6-based head units here and a few reputable Aliexpress sellers seemed to be the go-to. Now it seems PX6 are still regularly discussed but I can't find mention of anything newer - could someone confirm for me if there is a better specced SoC that has become the new norm for these chinese manufactured units, and who is selling them? Or are PX6 based units still the best on the market? My primary concerns are stability and responsiveness, hence wanting a well supported, mature product that is known to either have a good ROM from the factory or support for one of the ROMs the legends here on XDA have put together.
FWIW, I am after either a standard double-DIN unit or double-DIN with oversized display.
Cheers!

There are a lot resellers of PX6 units. I self bought a Teyes CC3 with a new CPU. The competitors of Teyes are King beats and Joying who uses also the new octa core cpu. The Teyes and King beats radios are quite thin so they fit in almost any car (if your car is supported with Oem panels for in the dashboard) Teyes and King beats are popular in Russia and Malaysia. There are no dealers in Europe or the US, but i hope they can find a dealer in Europe because i bought the radio now on Alibaba.
Im looking to upgrade my actual head-unit (unbranded 9" ac8227l with 1g/16g), i really only care on the sound (decent) and wireless carplay, any unit you can recommend with a $170 usd budget, i already look on some units on aliexpress but the shipping is usually more expensive than the head-unit (im from mexico).
I found this one (https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005...o.store_pc_groupList.8148356.1.1c107e4b3UphCk) thinking on the 2/32g version (m200s), what do you guys think?
