Hello ,
First post , please could you help me identify my unit. I probably follow a well trodden path of buying from Aliexpress, not getting a lot of support from the seller and coming on here pleading for some advice!
I've got some minor Canbus and steering wheel control issues Im trying to solve so identifying the base unit will be a good start.
Unit is 6gb / 128 , on the rear is a HDMI and Optical audio ports alongside what looks like the usual Android Harness and various size white molex type plugs.
CPU-Z is telling me :
Model : msm8953 for arm64 (QZD_G1)
Manuf : QUALCOMM
Thats the Chip right? ( msm8953 = Qualcomm Snapdragon 625)
How do I find out what model head unit it is to direct my Q's to the right forum?

System Info from CPU-Z :
Here is the rear of the unit
Any help appreciated , thanks !
Fake Android 11 head unit from AliExpress... I'm shocked... shocked I tell you.
API level says 28, so it's actually running Android 9.
If CPU-Z is reading the hardware correctly, you only have 4GB of ram, not 6.
The CPU is correct as that's pretty much impossible to fake since the kernel needs accurate CPU information to work.
I really wouldn't trust most of that info though considering it thinks you have a 46" display with 32dpi resolution.
I wish you luck figuring out the rest.
I have a 14.4" unit (GT-6) in my F150, another Fake Android 11 unit that's actually running Android 10.
Difficult to root as they disabled all data access protocols on the USB ports and stripped away ADB over WiFi.
Thanks for the reply, my bad I've read so many posts I actually over-inflated my own ram , it was 4gb afterall and thats all I was expecting.
My main Q is how often these manufacturers wire the Can Hi/Lo direct into the unit as Im missing what I think is Key1 on the main head unit harness (no pin).
I've got ACC +12v , Reverse signals, but so far no ILLLUM (Lights) or SWC.

Some head units require an external CANBUS module. The one I have does.

Hello!
I have a very strange problem with my android radio in my 508. When I'm trying to connect it with delivered canbus decoder, it's simply not powering on. I tried various combinations with power supply to the unit but without positive result yet. The only way that turns my radio on is bypassing power supply of canbus box and conecting it directly to power in on the unit. I thought that maybe canbus decoder is defective, so I returned it to supplier and received new one...still no success. I have red many manuals and forums but I cannot find the answer how to power on the unit with canbus decoder. I really need it to be connected because I need steering wheel buttons and readings from car computer (like AC, fuel consumption etc.). I know that to maintain it, power supply must be connected to canbus decoder, which triggers signal to power on the unit. Somehow it just doesn't work. I measured voltage on power harness, there is a good reading. I have also readings on canL and canH line. Everything is good on input side to canbus, on output I have zero...just like canbus is not working.
My radio is 1din android 8 unit equipped with canbus decoder:
decoder: MH (PA-SS-05)20180402
SS-PA0503271018-2
For: Peugeot 2008
P/N 1801300412
Software: PSA V2.27 005BYPS
Unit: MCU version: MTCE_MX2_V2.83_1

Please guys help me out because I am fighting with this chinese **** almost 2 weeks now
Hi,
I know it's a long time since your post, but I just installed an Android Head unit in my Peugeot 508 with JBL Sound, and the decoder I received was one for Peugeot 407, maybe that's why it's not working?
Also I cannot see your photos, they are most likely not online anymore.

It will keep ALL the original functions of your car. thats how these units work.
You dont need adapters or anything, ive installed one of them in a F15 X5. And it works great tbh. easy to use.
When installing it can be a tight fit with the cables. And remember to move the fiber optic cables to the new quad lock connector, and you will be good to go

Sorry, I was blind ... you are right
BTW, do you know if it's working with stock GPS antenna from my car ? ... as I see it they provide a GPS antenna also
EDIT :
I still have 2 years of BMW Premium warranty, do you think by installing this unit I'll loses the warranty ? Thanks !
The original BMW radio has the stock gps antenna, you can put it on the new unit, but then the original wont have gps signal.
Or you can just place the gps antenna with that unit, behind the screen. hidden and it will get good gps signal
I do not think its messing with warranty no.

Hi,
I would like to install an Android head unit to replace the Swing car radio in my Skoda Octavia 2.
I hesitate between 3 models:
-LJHANG PX6 7" 4/32Go is PX6 a good choice compared PX5 ?
-ZNY PX5 8" 4/32Go PX5 but 8" screen
-SilverStrong PX5 8" 4/32Go with DSP , is DSP a good value ?
Thank you for your help.
After some reading online I choosed Eunavi-WG9018S model, you can find it on AliExpress.
I'm using it for almost a month now and it's plug and play with integrated canbus which works very good - a lot of car system information displayed + steering wheel controls and OEM parking sensors.
GPS is very accurate, I left the antenna in the dashboard behind the unit and no problem with the signal.
Audio is OK, I used mostly with Spotify and the sound is OK. Being Android we have a lot of option in matter of players and equilazers.
PS: I own an Passat B7, but both your and mine are VAG cars so the wiring is similar.
Hi,
On sunday i installed on my Octavia 2 an Isudar NA02A53VW0907 (PX5 4/43GB 9'' ) on Aliexpress store (11/11 Sale).
previously i own an Ownice C200, until this summer when the unit stop working, some overheat problem..
Base only on experience of these days, it's miles better than Ownice..
I need to find some calibration for colour, it's washed..

Hello,
I join your thread for my Skoda Yeti 2015.
@ludz179: did you find a head unit?
@aurelv: I'm interested by your Eunavi-WG9018S model. Did you confirm that all is working fine (OEM reverse sensor, steering wheel controls...)?
I have some other questions:
- did you know if FastBoot is supported?
- I don't see if SDcard slot is on front?
- what do you think about the quality of the screen (reflection, brightness ...)?
- how does it fit into the dashboard? Would you have a picture?
- do you face particular problems (bug, overheating, crash, reboot)?
Did you confirm that you have not added anything in the connectivity between the original socket and the one provided with the Eunavi?
I have this socket:

Looking to get a 2DIN head unit for my wife VW Touran 2008. ( UK model)
So far I narrowed down to Xtrons MA90 and PQS90. Which one of this 2 you will recommend ?
Any other options please?

This really depends on whether you plan to mod the unit. Even the most expensive Android Head units will lack heavily in sound quality, internet speed, mic and handsfree quality, user interface and configurability and units with less than 4Gb RAM will also struggle with performance under the default factory setup.
However, if you are prepared to "hack" it, then here is what I's recommend:
Any Rockchip based head units, MCU type MTCx - MCU type is key here. PX6 models are top performers then going down to PX5 and PX30. Make sure the internal amplifier is TDA7850, nothing else.
Any MediaTek based unit (best option on top), type:
YT9218D
YT9218x
YT9216Bxx
YT9216Bx
YT9217C
YT9216C
YT216B or YT9217B
Stay away from YT9213A or any YT9213Ax units
MTCx units support Malaysk MOD - all in one mod you need
MediaTek units are much cheaper and can run super mods in my signature.
Here's how you see MCU type (you can ask sellers to show you this screen before purchasing). Look for MTCB, MTCD, MTCE etc.

For MediaTek units, ask for the System Info screen:
If you plan to connect the head unit to an external car sound system, then go with Qualcomm SnapDragon units. They can be pricey, don't offer that much in terms of options but are very good performers in terms of computing power. Look for SnapDragon SD625 as an example.
Hope this helps.
Hi i purchased this unit https://www.aliexpress.com/item/[email protected]!!im
for my 2009 VW Multivan, The unit has the PX5 Software with Android 10 and i can't make it to display car information on the head unit, the steering wheel buttons are working fine also when i turn on the car lights, the unit also light's the buttons, meaning there is a CAN communication but i can't make it read information as doors, voltage, AC, etc.
I tried all the VW profiles at factory settings with no luck. Are there any suggestions of how to solve it?
Thanks

Sorry to say, but who told you that the car functions would work?
If I read the text at Ali, there is no single word written about car functions.
That what they offer is working... your steering wheel... nothing else did they offer...

Ok i see, would these functions work with a different canbus decoder?

In most cases the firmware needs to be developed to show the information as an overlay or pop up message.
May be there is someone here who has a VW which shows the information on the screen and you both can compare the content of the firmware and may be you are able to use another firmware from Joying on your unit.
I´m out here, because I don´t have a VW.
By the way...
As this unit is a PX5, you may be wrong in this forum.... May be post a picture of the "About Tablet" where we can see the MCU version of your unit.

Not FYT, requested moderator moves to Android Head-Units forum
@yprat
Well... I think you have one of these units you can´t change a lot.
There are some threads already open in this forum, so try to search for MF1-px5
Nothing I can support with this kind of unit.
