I am currently looking for a headunit for my ford transit, but I have trouble finding the perfect one, I have found a couple but uncertain if they're any good(see links).
I would like to be able to add 360 bird view.
Decent sound, will properly add an active subwoofer later on
wireless android auto
smooth OS
nice to have: Dab & 4g
one that might work

Would be nice if someone to give some pointers for what to look for, or any pointers have to search for more good options.
Hallo, how about taking an excellent processor UIS7862 on the FYT platform, from manufacturers such as EKIY, preferably 6-8 GB of ram(T7 6G 128G-B, T7 8G 128G-B) , if you want 360 cameras, the function is optional for some types, you better write to the seller first. For Dab+, you have to buy an adapter and stick the antenna on the glass, or you can buy a hub for the existing antenna. It has 4.1 coaxial and optical output, so if you have this connection option, the subwoofer should work. Android auto is built in, but it's only by wire, but with such a powerful inclusion of AA I consider it unnecessary, but that's a matter of opinion. Internet wifi + 4g. You can find everything it can do on the device page, direct any questions to the seller:

Why FYT? It is an open system with the possibility of various adjustments and modifications, if you are just a basic user, then ignore the following information and leave the device as it is:

Hey thanks for the awesome reply, how do you see if a unit uses the UIS7862 Processor? since I cannot see that in the description.
Is there no with wireless android auto?
T7 should have UIS7862 FYT, if you want to be sure, write to the seller. As far as I know, the android car can do 5g wifi wirelessly, but I haven't found a suitable device for the Transit.
Okay thanks, the one you sent looks promising is the resolution nice? and I see it's only Android 10 and not 12, is that an issue for a head unit?
Blu-ray QLED 1280x720 is good, but everyone can have a different opinion. I don't see any problem with android 10, on the contrary they don't lie like other sellers who offer android 11 and it's fake, it's actually android 10.
My car has built in parking sensors from the factory, they work through Can-bus.
Would these work for the android headunit?
I don't know how they have a well-made canbus for the Transit, I recommend taking a photo of the cable harness and the connector you have in the car and writing a question and requirements to the seller. I can't advise you in this case.
Hey Pavel, I am a little confused isn't the T900 the same as the one you sent?
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004922549850.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.5ed24ae4XI0i9P&mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu
The T900 is from EKIY Autoradio Store and only 7 day delivery
EKIY has more stores, it should be the same, only it is under a different label and is photographed with a different launcher, choose the store that suits you better, especially check with the seller if it really has the UIS7862 FYT and if the power cable with canbus adapter, and if it also supports 360 cameras. You can install whatever launcher you want, you can find it here:
7862/8581 FYT Factory by Mario Dantas
Okay thanks for all the feedback, The only thing I am missing is one with volume knob but I think I can forget about that
How's the sound quality from them? are they good enough or should I invest in a external DSP?
You can put an external volume control. The device has a DSP, there is a wide range of settings, the quality should be good, there are different opinions about the sound quality of these units, everyone has a different idea about the sound quality. Buying Chinese units is always risky, I am not a seller to guarantee that everything will work perfectly, such questions are unnecessary. You have to decide for yourself if you want to go for it.

Hello everybody,
I'm searching for the best unit for Volkswagen Passat B7 (year 2012) to replace my RCD 510. What I am looking for:
- Android unit with 8'' - 10'' diagonal
- Dual channel Can-Bus - (the unit should display car events: door open, AC temperature settings, parking sensors information)
- VW car steering wheel control support
- DAB+
- Good bluetooth or integration with VW bluetooth module (Is this even possible?)
I've heard about Joying, Seicane and Dasaita and I'm not sure which one is better. Your advice or suggestions will be much appreciated and welcomed. Thank you.
Best Regards
I can hardly answer your question as it stated since I only tried (and use) Joying HU.
I've replaced my RNS-510 mostly because map updates in my region are not supported anymore. Had quite a hard time with Joying, but finally have no any doubts that would do it (change) again.
My HU is 8" with HW buttons, which helps alot: being able to switch to Navi/Radio/Home from any screen is a good thing. CAN bus works OK: climate indication, doors, outside temp, safety belts, fuel, mileage, park sensors, rear view cam, hand brake status, steering wheel controls do work. I did not buy DAB+ and had a hard time with AM/FM radio reception, but changing antenna harness (both were in Joying's direct supply) solved the problem.
BT app is much inferior to the VW factory unit, especially if you do outcoming calls when driving. Incoming calls are also first identified with bare numbers, not names - it corrects on the 2nd call.
I use Huawei E8xxx 4G modem as WiFi hotspot, Joying rear cam and Joying dashcam. All in all - it's a new world which opens to you with Android HU. I could not have something like this (and much more) on factory RNS: https://yadi.sk/i/Zg1TFzHu3PDvou
You plan to abandon RCD unit, which is not a Navi system. For those like me who had RNS Navi - you are going to miss correct tunnel/no GPS guidance and correct direction in the morning when factory Navi knows right from ignition how to make proper guidance. In 3-rd party HU there is no compass, gyros and speed sensor data which are used by a navi program (speed is available via CAN, but a navi program is not aware of it, only GPS). I still agree when VW calls it's 9 year old factory HU a "premium navi".
Sound quality can not compare to factory unit despite that brand new "digital amp" (I have "D" model), but here I am lucky - all my audio interests are in FM news radio.
I also have a Passat 2012 and a Joying Sofia 8" with HW knobs (JY VL130N2).
I am generally very pleased with this combination. Everything works except for
BT indeed is not perfect.
Dasaita units also have a good reputation here. I never had one, so I cannot tell much about those...
Hello,
Thanks for response. I'm wondering if there's a specific model from Joying that's current "the best". At the moment I'm looking at:
VW 6.0 OCTA CORE HEAD UNIT PX5 and VW NEW DIGITAL AMPLIFIER AUTORADIO ANDROID 6.0 HEAD UNIT
If anyone have any other suggestions (Dasaita, Seicane...) please dont hesitate to say. Thanks.
Regards
Do not mess with "octa PX5". The second link is OK, since the part number is DE-JY-VM130N2D - just the same I have. If you have external amp, then "D" model is not recomended, take one without "digital amp" built in - like DE-JY-VM130N2.
With that choice we have a very promising perspective, just take a look here https://forum.carjoying.com/thread-1377-current-state-of-hackishness-.html

Why are you saying do not mess with PX5? A lot of users recomends PX5 because it is new and has unofficial support like PX3, so seems more futureproof than anything else right now.
Hello everyone
I want to have an Android 2DIN head unit in my car, but I'm having a really tough time finding out which one I actually want. As we all know there are dozens of different brand names, looks etc. and who knows how many combinations of what's underneath - how do you choose from such a mess?
For example, what I'm looking for:
- a generic 2DIN Head Unit (nobody seems to make one fitting my Lexus IS200 directly so I will just use Metra frame)
- something modern, fast, capable and with good support (manufacturer and/or community) - I reckon I need MTCD/E PX5, right? Is 4GB RAM worth it? Android 8.0, 8.1? Plus there seem to be PX6 on the horizon, should I wait?
- physical buttons and I'd love a volume knob (no steering wheel controls for me)
- stuff like 3G/4G, GPS, wifi, BT, camera etc. seems to be the same so shouldn't be a factor, right?
So, given those parameters, how do I decide which unit to buy? Is the software interchangeable on all PX5 units? Are there any OS differences out of the box?
What about sound quality - is it the same (I see outputs of 4x45W, 48W, 50W - do they actually have different amplifiers?)? Any particular brand names to look for/avoid at all cost?
I've managed to google one useful link [cut] - is this site credible? (unfortunately I'm not allowed to post urls it seems, google "best android head unit" and click the one with wiki.ezvid)
Thanks for all your help!
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a used 2010 Prius with an android HU. It's unbranded (noname) and pretty weak (1gb ram). I could live with the android performance issues but the microphone is driving me crazy. Nobody can hear what i'm saying. The unit has an external mic and i wanted to upgrade it to a different one but for some reason, the mic that's connected to the HU has 5 wires (last picture) and the one i ordered only 2 (mono jack). There's also no mic jack. Here are my questions:
1. Is there a way to connect a different mono mic?
2. Does anyone have any idea what unit this is and where i can find a wiring diagram?
3. Can you recommend a better unit? I like the ones that look more like stock, with physical buttons.
4. Any known fix for the error in the picture? "Software has not been authorized legally" when trying to use Easyconnect to mirror my phone.
I need any info i can get, you don't have to have all the answers
Thanks!
I googled "Sp9853i_1h10_vmm" (taken from one of your photos). Turned up quite a few results. I have not had experience with that particular unit but maybe might turn up some useful information for you perhaps.
Not an MTCD, requesting mod moves to [Android Head units] forum.

Thanks for the reply. I've done that first the problem is there are multiple manufacturers with multiple configurations. I contacted Seicane and am still in the process of identifying the unit/software with them but the back and forth is pretty slow..
This is not your "standard" moddable unit, I'm afraid. Most information here and on forums like 4PDA is on units based on 2 main technologies:
1. 8227L Mediatek, system: YT921xx
2. Rockchip PX3, PX5, PX6, PX30 based on MTCx chip.
By having a quick look at what you got, the mic is the least of your problems. These units are packed with so called features but need considerable hardware and software modding to make them work and even excel.
Here is an example of one such modded units, started off as cheap £70 Android, and ended up performing on par with luxury Android units. The video shows the mods, just to give you an understanding.
To save you time, invest in a Dasaita MTCE unit as that one requires least mods to perform well. You can find them for around £200 on AliExpress. Good luck!
Thanks for the info. I'll look into one of the PX chips and go for dasaita.
so i've found a single Dasaita unit for Prius G3 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001625066855.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.20fa2e0eCiCqeA
The problem is i can't find this model on Dasaita website or store and i'm not sure it's real. I've emailed Dasaita but no reply..
There are multiple units from diferent brands (Ownice, Wondefoo..). Can i go for one of those? What should i look for?
Some sellers list the "K6 plus" version as the top of the line. Should i still go for PX6 or is that better?
I am in the market for a custom project I am working on. I am looking for at least a 10" screen, 4 camera inputs (can be 360), carplay, very powerful 6gb ram, and a decent processor. I was looking at the FYT 7862 units. I would like the ability to customize the launcher and have the ability to have a can decoder built-in not only for steering wheel controls. So I have a few questions:
1. Would you suggest the 7862 based units? what other information do I need to get from the supplier to make sure this is a good unit? (I have seen FYT, Ayi, etc as mcu manufacturers so trying to figure out which is best)
2. If not a 7862 based unit, what would you suggest?
3. If I wanted to go all out and have a custom unit designed and money for this project isn't a factor, what components/specs would you suggest? What would make the absolute ultimate head unit with the most functionality?
Thank you for all the help
I have a Subaru Forester Limited with the Harmon Kardon audio system that came stock with the car.
I'm looking to upgrade to something that will provide Android Auto and Apple Carplay without needing to plug in the phone. I'm currently leaning towards Idoing but am open to any suggestions you all might have.
I don't have much experience when it comes tinkering with electronics or cars, so I figured one of these all one solutions would make it the easiest for me. This way I'm not going to be splicing any wires and it will all be plug and play (I hope).
I've reached out to Idoing because I'm not exactly sure which model I would even pick. These are the ones that seem to fit my vehicle, but I'm not 100% sure.
Idoing 9"Android Head Unit For Subaru WRX STI XV Forester 2016-2021 Car Autoradio Multimedia Video Player Navigation Stereo GPS
Idoing 9"2.5D QLED Car Android Radio GPS Multimedia Player Head Unit 4G+64G For Subaru WRX Forester 2016-2020 Navigation NO 2DIN
Idoing 9"Car Android Radio GPS Multimedia Player IPS 2.5D For Subaru Forester 2016-2018 4G+64G 8 Core Navigation Zlink Head Unit
So am I looking the wrong direction? Is there a brand that I'm overlooking that would be better for me to get?
Thanks.
Ask seller to provide screenshots of Android System information, including MCU. With that you could know what is being offered and then research the forums.
You probably want a UIS7862 FYT based uint.
