I have just bought this head unit on a local online shopping site. It is called Stapon S7.
From cpu-Z, the soc is from allwinner, octacore 2.6ghz.
From this photo, can someone enlighten what is this unit and any firmware avail?
hey same with my headunit, im still searching too how too root and upgrade this ROM, because realy slow, and many Forceclosed App
It's an oddball. So many buy then come here to find out the hard way.
Consider buying a uis7862 FYT type unit instead.
I also got stapon s7, Im suspecting it is a rebranded joying.
Im tempted to just flash joying firmware, but im not too sure if it really is a joying. Mine has so much similarity on joying system info in Joying firmware update.
Here is mine:
I just checked with Joying, it is not from them. They pointed out that my MCU has prefix of YIN, while theirs is JY

Hello,
I'm looking to upgrade the stock head unit of my 2005 Opel Meriva to an android-based HU and I'm not sure which one I want. I've been reading up on the development threads here, which seem to be split between PX5-based MTCD units on the one hand and Intel Sofia-based Joying units. Please correct me in anything I might have researched wrongly, as that might help me make the right decision. I'm in favor of vendors shipping from EU warehouses because of the insanely long waiting times for Chinese shipping and customs hassle & delays.
The three options that seem to make most sense for the moment are:
Joying - for the actual hardware (on the other hand, maybe PX5 is better than Sofia b/c of thermal throttling issues?)
https://www.carjoying.de/2017-new-o...stem-hd-screen-support-backup-camera-dab.html
Eonon 8155 - for the looks (advertised as quad core with no further info - is this an MTCD with PX3? Why does it have Android 7?
https://eonon.com/Android-Car-GPS/V...h-Double-Din-AM-FM-Multimedia-Car-Stereo.html
Any MTCD PX5 based HU - for software versatility, that is, Malaysk CFW (which vendor - advice please? Pumpkin maybe?)
I've seen some MTCD offers look like the Eonon. Getting one of those would really be cool. Any EU sources aside from Aliex?
So here's more on what I am looking for:
I like rooting and flashing my Androids and would like to at least have root access on the device. From what I've read, this is possible on both platforms. Opposed to Joying (?), the PX5 platform also has Malaysk's AOSP based FW - is this any good for a daily driver/full replacement of stock ROM, or are there any missing features? Is there also a custom ROM for Sofia? I've seen someone recently mention something along the lines of, there's a lot of development going on for Joying - I've seen lots of scripts and rooting guides, but I haven't found anything like a custom ROM. Is there something in the making that I've just not been able to find?
Also, the Joying unit has no built in mobile data modem, or only works via their external 4G stick (available for extra € ofc), while I've read that PX5 based units usually have it integrated. Can MTCD units also interface with cameras?
Can any of these units read Opel CANbus data like RPM/liters per 100km? How about OBDII BT adapters, can MTCD/Joying use my old ELM327 one or do I have to buy a new one because of some vendor-implemented driver lockout? The CFW of MTCD would fix that, right?
Thanks for reading through this wall of text and for any answers in advance.
TL;DR
Want to buy android HU for 2005 Meriva. Joying (Sofia) or MTCD (PX5)? If the latter, which vendor can you recommend for EU?
Hi Guys, quick question, I've searched around the forums and can't find anything about my unit the reseller is Sinosmart it's a SoFia based unit 2GB Ram 32GB Rom non 3G for a Chev/Holden Cruze it's running Android 6.01, the MCU 2017-06-09 RUL_(NOR)_90_C9_685x_5009_CAN(All)_Newlap_Amp, I understand that it may be a non branded joying type unit. The only issue I'm having with it is I can't control screen brightness at all the sliders do nothing and the night/illumination function does nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Just an update I found this at the 4pda forum RUL = Sinosmart so they make their own variant of the MCU software, is this correct? In regards to rooting the unit, is it safe to use the non joying boot image on these forums, has anyone else had experience with this brand? Thanks in advance
Joying units are manufactured by an outfit called "Carsql" aka "SYU", which is now owned by the manufacturer of the SoM, "FYT". They (SYU/SQL/FYT) have a lot of customers that they manufacture radios for, INCLUDING Joying, and likely yours as well. Usually, the MCU is tagged with the customer ID.
This is much the same as MTC, which also has a lot of customers that they make radios for, which *used to* include Joying, who I guess got a better deal and/or better product from SYU.
I can tell you that from a hardware engineering point of view, the SQL/FYT units are a lot better than the MTC units.
Software wise, however, its a wash. They all suck.
So what your saying is in my case Sinosmart is a customer of SQL/FYT if this is the case and a lot of the units are made by the one company for these re seller groups, how come the mcu's aren't cross compatible I understand rom's can be if they are based on the same SOC in my case the intel Sofia, why is there a separation between joying and all the other intel based units, does joying use an mcu unique to their units? also wouldn't the joying/other brand sofia based unit rom's be compatible with each other, or is it not that simple due to slight variations in gps chips, radio chips, ect....hopefully that makes sense! Thanks for your reply

Almost all compatibility problems are *intentional*. They just put a string into the MCU version field that the OS uses to decide if it wants to play nice or dirty.
More than likely, those units are FULLY compatible.
No ones reverse engineered the mcu flash files? I read a while back someone had done or had partial success with the older units on then 4pda site
I'm not sure what to buy. I want a new Hu to replace my stock hu and have been looking at both joying and xtrons. I was originally going to go with joying but then I noticed the xtrons has 4gb of ram which more is always better. Should I go with the xtrons or should I go with the joying either px5 or Intel? Help please..
I recommend XTRONS
I don't have a lot of experience with these android head units, but I do have an XTRONS unit it my Jeep (specific for Jeep/Chrysler ) and I really like it. I had to email them for help (because of something I screwed up) and they were very helpful.

Hi all,
I have an old MTCB-MX unit and was trying to get my CarPlay adaptor to work with the steering wheel controls so I emailed the manufacturer asking if they had any updated firmware for the unit and they sent over a firmware file but it was named MTCE
My question is, would this break my unit if I flashed it? I want to trust the manufacturer but I always thought it I had to stick with the MTCB line of firmware. I have emailed the manufacturer but as they often take about a week to get back to me.
Cheers!
Try it. Android radios are cheap.

As far as I know you can not roll out an MTCD firmware over an MTCB unit.
But you are in the wrong sub forum. Please check https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcd-android-head-units-general
There are the MTCB/D/E experts.
Hi,
Im looking at one of these units from Joying for my older Jeep. Curious if these are FYT based or not?

Does anyone have one of these adjustable screen units? Im looking to buying, the only thing I'm going to use it for is carplay thru a zbox zlink adaptor to play music and take calls. Will the 1GB model work ok for this? I think the specs are quite low, but the zbox Zlink or Carlinkit apps dont require much resources.
I ask if they are FYT because I have a Px3 2gb coreboard lying around, and if this unit is FYT based and I can just plug it in, getting the cheaper 1gb version vs the 4gb 8 octo core at twice the price seems like it would make more sense.
Anyone know?

All Joyings are FYT based.
I can't answer your other questions as I use the unit (4GB/64GB) as it is intended.
interesting. i emailed them to ask if the 1 gig+16gig one is fyt based and they said no.

Well, I guess they know better than I do, but if you look at all the apps: Those are the FYT apps.
Microntec, Topways, Antoto and other manufacturer apps do look different.
I would ask them which firmare you need for this unit, and then I'm very curious which firmware they point you to.
