i have had a uniway 9 inch 7.1.1 head in my car for a week ,now totally dead ,what a piece of junk ,i purchased it from aliexpress ,any one has any return dealings with them.....i do not want to buy bad again so any advice on a unit for kia sportage 2013 many thanks
If you want something of a respectable quality, go with a mainstream brand (the closest you'll get to "android" will be "android auto"), or go with something custom (mix and match parts to make something that does what you want it to do).
just purchased Kenwood 7017 dab CarPlay stay away from Chinese audio
Hello all,
I am thinking of ordering a PA89UNVIP unit from Xtron's it's a 8" android 9 head unit with 2gb of ram and 16gb of rom.
I'm sceptical of the ram as 2gb for android 9 seems a bit lacking, but then again you're only using the android auto.
My intentions is to have a mirror link or Bluetooth link on my phone (wireless) or set up a hotspot so the device can connect to the internet via my phone. Not sure which option will be the best.
I would also like to know what your opinions are on Xtrons, it's been suggested by my Seat dealer that they have items that are working well with the seat on-board pc. My current Xtrons unit is able to read out oil/ tire pressure how much fuel is left in the tank and the rpm of the motor and more.
As for pricing it seems i'm able to pick it up for about 200$ on Alibaba.
TL;DR;
planning on buying xtrons PA89UNVIP head unit for seat Leon 2009.
what way of connecting is the best mirror link (wireless) or bluetooth/ wifihotspot
Thoughts on Xtrons? experience or anything?
Yours sincerely,
Just wondering, did you buy this unit and are you happy with it?

I tried buying the unit, I saw one on amazone for about half the amount as it was on XTRON website but they didn't deliver to my country.
After that I ended up using my old unit that was in the car already and haven't been bothered changing it yet (busy irl).
Hi,
I currently have a Joying JY-VQ125 RK3188 MTCB head unit with 1GB RAM and the really old Android version 4.4.4. Due to more and more issues with apps/speed/etc. I decided to upgrade my old unit to a newer one.
As far as I understood there are more or less two options. An unit with Rockchip PX5/PX6 processer or a Joying unit with the Intel SC9853i.
Are there any suggestions which specific model from which reseller to buy?
I'm looking for a model which has a preferably up-to-date android version and hopefully gets some updates in the future (not like my old Joying). It should look similar to original VW ones (like my old Joying), it should be stable and of course a bit faster / more usable than my old one. I'm connecting it via cinch to my external amplifier, internet is provided via an hotspot at my smartphone.
Looking forward to some opinions.
Thanks,

I purchased a PX6 from Xtrons 10.25" 2.5D screen.
4gb+64gb on Android 9.
This is my 3rd unit I've purchased direct from Xtrons website and all 3 are still working perfectly. They do also sell a good variety of vehicle specific units. It is a MTCE unit. Also has dvd player built in. It's all a matter of personal choice. I buy from these as I've had problem free use out of them.

Thanks for your reply!
Xtrons looks good, unfortunately they are also more expensive than similar HUs from other resellers/manufacturers.
Is there any huge difference between the Rockchip PX5 and the PX6 processor? In performance, future update support or anything else?
Are there any huge advantages of the Intel SC9853i processor? I assume the Joying HUs will stuck on Android 8.1 and won't get any further updates...
I've now found a head unit with good-looking specs and also a good price (~250€ with current discount). The reseller is Eunavi and the model is A240: https://aliexpress.com/item/4000418570621.html
Is there anything I overlooked?
A few days ago I ordered the Eunavi which I linked above. Unfortunately the reseller told me now that they don't have this unit in stock.
Now I'm looking for a unit with similar specifications. These are:
PX6 CPU
4GB RAM
8" display
DSP AKM7738
Amplifier TDA7803A
Radio chip NXP6686
Does anybody know a head unit with this specs?
The Xtrons PQ89UNVIP basically looks good, but doesn't have a DSP, has the TDA7851 and not the TDA7803A amplifier chip and is much more expensive...
I have a 2014 Prius where I am looking to install a head unit like this from Amazon. However, my main concern is that this specific head unit has only a PX5 (which I believe is an older CPU), 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of ROM storage. and will only support up to Android 10 (no Android 11 support). However, this unit (according to the seller) also supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for an additional fee (which is only an extra $40).
On the other hand, I have come across these head units on Aliexpress like this where they are running the PX6, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of ROM storage. However, my main concern here is I live in the United States, and I have never purchased stuff from Aliexpress, so I am not entirely sure how "safe" it is purchasing it from Aliexpress compared to Amazon, where if something were to happen with the item or any kind of issue arises, I know Amazon customer service is a lot more easier to contact. At the end of the day, I think both units add up to the same price with the added CarPlay option (excluding tax of course).
My understanding however is that both of these units are pretty much built from the same factory in China and just the seller throwing on a brand to the unit. Therefore, I wanted to ask, should I just play it safe and purchase the unit from Amazon even if it has lower specs compared to the ones on Aliexpress? Or are the units I shared from Aliexpress a lot more faster/speedier and would be worth purchasing through Aliexpress? The main reason why I am looking at these units are because it would look nearly identical to the head unit already on my car and would even have physical buttons which I would like.
I am open to any comments and feedback!
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?
