Best Head Unit Android-Value

Hello everyone, I wonder what the "Android 2DIN Head Unit Universal" who advise me to buy "value and price".I did not want to spend much money, but at the same time do not want to put something weak. Someone can help me ? Is for VW Golf 4 year 2000. If possible good seller too. Thank you

You might struggle with this kind of post because most people will only have experience with one unit.
All I can say is the I went for the Newsmy Carpad 2 and am really happy with it. But I think if you went for any of the popular ones on this forum you wont be going far wrong.
I'd stay clear of the rare ones though - bit more risky and you wont get the same level of community support.

OP let me know what you end up getting. I as well have a 2001 GTI 1.8T. I have the appradio 2 but didn't install it yet. Want to get an android set up.

after my experience w/ my car joying unit, I say you are best off going with a unit customer built for your car. it will cost you more but in the end it will be easiest installation, best look, and the least compromise.
see if car joying makes one for your car model. they have great support both here on xda, and directly through the manufacturer.

They don't make them for Mk4 Golfs. Format is too old. He can only go with an universal joying and a fascia which you can get from anywhere from 8 to 35 Euro...

I had this unit. it's the best standard head unit you can buy as of now. the big issue it has is BT audio quality. If you can live with below average BT call quality then you should be okay. Everything else about it is great. I personally wasn't happy w/ how it looked in my car though. Be aware it is NOT a true double-din size. It is about .5" wider than a standard double-din, so you will need to do some cutting to get it to fit right in your car.

Maybe you should go with a universal head unit, cause I can't find a plug&play one for Golf 4 currently... If you got one, pls let me know ...

Reviews of Joying head unit compatible with bmw e90

http://www.carjoying.com/in-dash-gp...saloon-touring-coupe-cabriolet-2005-2012.html
Has anyone purchased this head unit from joying and installed it? I am looking for a good android head unit with bluetooth and gps like this one. I have not found much in terms of reviews of this one.
Is this a good one? Any recommendations for one compatible with a 2011 328i e90 model?
Thanks

I dont have this unit but from the pics, the firmware and MCU look exactly like mine. Im guessing the diff is just the screen and button layout. So any Joying review should suffice. Bluetooth and GPS are on point. I love it

What is model you have? I was thinking about getting the pioneer 4100nex. I'm kinda wary of the joying one because I've read the Bluetooth phone calling microphone on the joying unit at least is almost unusable.

I am considering the Joying unit for my '09 E93 as well. One of the better features is the EasyConnect app for mirroring both Android and Apple. Since I have an Android and my better half loves her iPhone, and we both drive the car, it makes perfect sense from a compatibility standpoint. As for the rest, well, it's Android... and I can read the forums myself. I am seeking info about practical applications of this headunit on a BMW.

I have installed this unit since Dec 2015 in my 2007, e92 and I am very much satisfied with it. There are a coupple of things like the crappy mic or the bad radio connection but here at xda you can find workarounds for the problems.
The seat heating is controlled via screen after installing.
The aftersale support is also very good, except their english
If you do have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

bad radio connection can be fixed how?

what is the workaround for the bad radio connection?

Has anyone heard of "Roadanvi"?? Also, Im struggling to choose a head unit.

I just bought a head unit for the first time in years.. A Pioneer C5500NEX.
Only AFTER do I discover android units..
Anyway, I have been looking at them for weeks and cannot make up my mind.
I recently came across this brand. It looks good but you know.. the whole looks and deceiving thing...
Amazon.com
- I am not familiar with these terms like FYT. But I would like one that I can root relatively easy.
-4+gb of ram (6gb ram would be ideal)
-Decent audio quality and would prefer an optical output.
-A VOLUME KNOB isn't a requirement but would be nice. (Or any suggestions for wired remote controls)
-NOT vehicle specific. 9-11 inch floating IPS display.
-Any other recommendations are appreciated..
I've been looking at
-Joying:
Amazon.com
-Roadanvi
Amazon.com
-Dasaita.. also this is my first time seeing the "scout" models
Amazon.com
-EONON
Amazon.com
-ATOTO S8.. Which Verizon should I get?
Amazon.com
-IYING

Item #1,
As in read the forum articles that deal with that, you need to put some work in.

What is an Anything PX6, as there are different vendors.
Also, I think you mean modded factory ROM. It largely attempts to address bugs to make things work properly, like Things that just work in the latest FYT UIS7862 unit. My advice, look for an FYT UIS 7862 such as mekede. The MTCD/E/P/H units remain buggy and slow in comparison.
You probably don't know what is being discussed here because item #1.

It's not easy indeed, especially when manufacturers don't tell you things you want to know.
We recently released a blog article that should give you a very good head start:

-I wanted/NEEDED it in 10 inch. 11.6 is too much.
-No SPDIF or HDMI.
-No SIM card
-4gb+128gb...
These arnt the worst things in the world but @ $600 with shipping I feel like I'm giving up a lot.
It does have a PX6 like he said so I guess that's good?

Okay as much as I like Dasaita, it's probably not the right choice for you. You are looking to make a considerable investment and seem to have a good understanding of features you're looking for.
Here's our latest article that will help you greatly making the right choice of head unit. It reveals many secrets manufacturers don't tell you.
https://extrememod.co.uk/blog/f/android-head-unit-vs-android-auto-vs-bluetooth-stereo
Once you've read it, reach out to us on our Facebook page and we'll help you through FB Messenger to find the perfect head unit for you and pick a trusted seller on AliExpress to save you money.

I bought one of these and I think they use Junsun firmware. I'm still digging into mine but the model of mine is FF_866X which xda has a thread for. What did you end up getting?

New Head Unit: Dasaita or Joying

Hi,
im very new to android radios and i was already reading a lot.. not just to make a decision which one i should by also to learn about problems, tricks and so on. And im sure, i will have some questions in the future I never had an android radio before and I had a conflict with my wife.. I like a big screen, 10 inch for example which always is a out of dash display but she dont like them. The biggest in dash i could have is a 9 inch unit. I did not found a lot vendors, only dasaita and joying. The radio is for our mercedes 906 sprinter van.
Dasaita: HA2152-Vivid10-CP-HD
https://www.dasaita.com/products/da...o-px6-4g-64g-android10-1280-720-dsp-ahd-radio
Joying: JY-UQ139N4G-H
https://www.joyingauto.eu/android-10-double-din-car-stereo-replacement-4g-lte-radio.html
What i need:
- good sound, it is basically a radio (min. 4x50 W output)
- DSP
- 2 Din (i was reading about over heating problems at 1 din units)
- wireless car play
- good FM receiver chip
As far as I know, the Joying is using the UIS7862, Dasaita PX6. After all i was reading here in the forum, I would prefer the Dasaita because of the PX6. The only problem: there are almost no information about the radio on their website. Which one would you buy and why? Is there anybody with experience of the Dasaita headunit? Are there better alternatives?
Best regards

Hi, prior to buying it I would ask sellers of this device to give you specs of device. And ask them in a way in which them must be clear that you are serious buyer not some naive buyer.
You will be much pleased with your answers.

Hi anton,
yes I was already asking yesterday for some more information but I expect that this unit is not completely different to the PX6 devices, which are more described in detail. Im still waiting for an answer.

I am also looking for a hu for a sprinter van and am looking at these. These seem very expensive compared to some of the other models out there. Is it only because that are made for Mercedes?

Difference is in chipset and prices ...
Mediatek devices are cheaper but full of bugs and much slower units
Qualcomm / Snapdragon units are now top stuff, much faster even with 2x32 GB of memory, everything is connected online , updating , helpdesk etc.
Mediatek devices - Chinese modified - has been reported that they are using some illegal softwares (pirated)
There is a third option , it is "do it yourself" type of device , you order specific device for model of a car, and unit is perfectly adjusted to any of the car model you want (with Qualcomm or older Mediatek chipsets), but it is much expensive rather than standard aftermarket units.
There is a link if you want to configure unit by your needs :
Check this site ... https://www.made-in-china.com
You contact them and they configure your device and order, price is told on end and + shipping.
Ie. like this order - for older cars below 2011 and with dahboard lcd control unit... https://witson.en.made-in-china.com...-Peugeot-407-Silver-Frame-1080P-HD-Video.html
or for Benz

Hi,
i was ordering the Dasaita. Had some contact but still not very much information about the device. The unit comes with PX6 and i guess there are not very much differences compared to the well described devices on their page. Lets see when it arrives (guess 4 weeks). They will also send me a unit with vivid11 which is not yet offered in the store. They confirmed that this device will fit into my 2015 sprinter even if the description is only labeled up to 2012. Im not surprised. Im wondering if the can will work but that is not much important to me.

What type of head unit

I have a 2016 Prius that I want to get a android head unit for but have no idea what FYT or any of it is. Can anyone point me to the right direction as to which type of head unit I should be looking for?

Here you can find Infos about MTC
Android Headunit Terminology - Android-Headunits.com
As with all technology, android headunits come with their own terminology. Seemingly nonsensical the descriptions of the Android headunits
android-headunits.com
and the forums for the different MTCx types:
Head Units
forum.xda-developers.com
This forum "Android Head-Units" is for all non-MTC units.
If you're interested in modding, custom firmware you may want to look for a device compatible with Hal9k (google for it).
​If you want to have a unit which gets delivered with a frame and the required harness you may first want to find one for your car model and check if it's a known unit here in xda to get the required support.

Thanks for all that info.
For future proofing is it better to go with the UIS7862 or Snapdragon 665? I did not see the snapdragon on the link and im gussing its a newer processor?

I can't give you an advice regarding the CPU but it is important to choose an unit with enough RAM and one which is well known here:
Good FYT units are
Junsun V1 Pro (not the Junsun V1)
Teyes CC3
Please note that the Android version is always faked.

I have found 2 head units that look interesting. One is a snapdragon 665 unit and the the other is the cc3 2k version. Which one would you guys go for?
Snapdragon z900
Reyes CC3 2k

The T'Eyes comes with 3 USB 2.0 ports. Is there a way to change it to Usb 3.0 or USB type-C?

Yes according to the description it provides USB 2.0.
I think the idea is to lay one into the glove box, use another one for a DAB adapter behind the head unit and connect one to an existing USB socket of the vehicle.
USB 2.0 and 3.0 are different standards with different transfer rates so there is no possibility to change. But I'm sure that there are adapters from USB A socket to USB-C socket/plug. For whatever reason you need that. Please keep in mind that a USB A socket is still more universal.

No. But USB 3.0 is not the same as fast charging.
The intention of the USB ports is the possibility to connect periphery devices. I don't know any head unit (even no OEM device) which provides fast charging and I don't know any laptop or computer which provides fast charge. Please correct me if I'm wrong (can imagine Apple provides this feature because they have their own ecosystem).
The reason car manufacturers doesn't provide this feature is, that there is not that one any only fast charging standard. You can find more competent information via Google.
Maybe you have the possibility to install wireless charging as additional gimmick into your car?!

Thanks for all the help you provided.
The T'Eyes unit gets really expensive with the $90 dollar shipping but I found another popular unit people use here and wanted to get your input on this if possible.
Mekede M6 Pro Plus
Prius Frame and Wires
This unit with shipping is about 430 vs the CC3's 540 with almost the same config (Mekede comes with 8gb vs 6 from T'eyes and both at 128gb).
I'm not sure if the the wires include a Canbus decoder or if I need one or not.

That depends fully on your car and your requirements.
This may be a compatible one but I think a global Google recherche should be done.

On the other side I would expect the Teyes installation is relatively smooth and you have to decide if it's better to spend 110 dollars instead of sittings hours inside of your car to get the unit running...
But please note that there are different constellations and Teyes shows in which case their device is compatible:
