Said that it had android auto, carplay and carlife, it has evrything except abdroid auto. Also my car us offline and no matter how i try, it is still offline. I connexte wifi too. Also i cant create a car account, becayse it needs chinesee number, how inconvenient

So is it genuine Android Auto or Chinese origin greybox?
If chinese origin, post details from Android system information including mcu version. Help you help yourself.

Mine is Chinese origin and it only displays Baidu car life and apple car play. I'll be sure to post the mcu version ASAP.

Customization needed

Hi guys,
I have this android unit installed in my car, and i would like to know if there is possible to make customization to the UI (remove for example Car info tab - not working for me) or make it so when i click on it will open a specific app (like torque or something) to make it useful, or simply remove the item from the UI.
Can i do such a thing, will require a lot of codding or something?
Please see the attached images to know better about my unit and hopefully you guys can help me out.
Thanks a lot guys for your time!

This is to prevent spamming.
Just mention which unit you have. You don't mention brand, type, OS version. etc.

It looks like a PX3 MTCD unit.
Look at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...nt/rom-malaysk-roms-mtcd-mtce-device-t3693509
or one of the other PX3 threads in that sub-forum

Best phone app for android headunit

Hi all , just git my self and installed an android head unit , it is a Pumpkin with PX5 for VW Golf MK5.
I really enjoy the change and most of the things are working properly.....
The biggest problem I have is the stock bluetooth/phone app which is ancient.
Looking to get another app for this function and not sure what will work. Must have the ability to show the favourites , contacts with pictures and if it can to sync the contacts with Google. Also if I have multiple numbers on the same contact to show only the default number and not a list with all numbers.
On the actual app if I have 4 numbers on the same contact it will show 4 lines so if I need to scroll down to , let's say V , it's gone take me long time because of all numbers been displayed on separate line.
Right now I am playing with Carwebguru( think that's the name) and working quiet well but still there are a lot of customisation which can't be done.

The bluetooth/phone app is mostly deeply integrated with the rest of the system.
First try to find out what kind of unit you have. If it is an MTCD/E model, you should take a look at the Malaysk and/or HAL9k custom roms for PX5 mtcd/mtce models.
If you have a FYT based unit, there is actually nothing for you (I have a FYT and can't help you further on MTCD/E). All those apps are outdated and "simple".
But your entire list of wishes is most probably not possible.
How can I find if my unit is MTCD/E or FYT. All I know about my unit is that is the lastest model from Pumpkin coming with Android 8 and has PX5 on the name. From what I found I have MCU on the menu qnd that means I have MTCD unit? Sorry but I am very new on this units

Share the exact type of your unit based on its SKU number (like for example SKU: VA0202B)
And share what your settings screen mentions "about this unit"
If that's not enough we have to look at your /system/build.prop
Look like I am lucky........and I have a MTCD/E unit.
When I check on the <About> I get this
Model px5(1024x600)
Android Version 8.0.0
Android security patch level ...............................
Kernel version 4.4.93+ , rocky"hctr930 #343 , Sat Sep 15.........................

Yes, you can.
You need a firmware from your (re)seller.

Mercedes W166 Android Head Unit

Hi guys,
New to the forum, tech savy/IT background. I purchased one of these units from China, terrible/zero tech support, but have managed to get it working for the most part: (because I'm a new poster, I can't attach links, but if you search on Amazon: w166 android, that is my unit)
My question is this -- I bought it for the Dashboard app (app that has the speedo/tachy in the link above -- sorry, can't post pictures yet) but the unit did not have it preloaded. The seller claims his engineer updated the OS and the app no longer works, but I don't believe him. I'm trying to find the actual name of said app so I can try and sideload the .apk myself.
I don't see a lot of people looking around these parts for help on the Mercedes Android head units, but here to hopefully change that and offer up help/suggestions.
Thanks!

Looking for EasyConnection apk for head unit

Hi, I accidently delete my EasyConnection apk on my headunit.
Unfortunately I can not find it on any website...Plz help
Deleting Easyconnection probably did yourself a favor, but it's not Android Auto - requested moderator move to Android head units.
Ps. No one knows what your unit is without posting details. Also, contact your reseller first if this stuff is hard.
