I have been using Dasaita and some other MTC based units for the past 9 years. I am currently in the market for a new headunit (floating display type) and looking for something different. I would like to get it from Amazon (US). The insurance offered for electronics is pretty good and easy to deal with.
If anyone has some other options I am open to almost anything. I have a Toyota Tundra and would like something that has a canbus and is plug n play, it wouldn't be a deal breaker if it didn't as I have made my own harnesses in the past.

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, I've recently been intrigued with Android head units and for what they can do as I've seen on YouTube they are impressive for the price. I own a '14 Ford Fiesta and I found a plug and play unit for my car on eBay which is branded as "KiriNavi" model: WC-FE8021 A7 and I am considering it. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this brand or product and can tell me how reliable it is. Perhaps this model has been sold before under a different name, or unbranded as the seller has told me?
I don't want to spend nearly $400 for something that'll only work a couple months, I plan to use it for apps such as Waze and Spotify and the aesthetic upgrade from my ****ty looking stock unit. I am not an audiophile by any means and I prefer the functionality over sound quality as long as it's reasonable and doesn't completely crap out of me.
Thank you!

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).
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!
Hey,
I'm a bit new on XDA so i don't really know how to ask / where to ask what i'm looking for.
For the past weeks, i've been looking for a new Head Unit for my Toyota Yaris 2007, with Android auto and Apple Car Play. I've read a lot of differents forums, and they all agreed that if i am looking for something good, i should take somthing with the UIS 7862 and 6gb of ram. I was looking for something with these specs, that is smooth and don't have a lot of stutter/lags, with good audio output quality.
I've found this one : NaviFly 7862 6gb/128go but with shipping price it is around 340€, a bit too much for me since i am looking for something around 310€ max. (Also from forums, NaviFly is not a really good brand ?). Since i am living in the EU (France exactly), i was looking on Aliexpress & Alibaba for a price with VAT to be included.
Do you have other head units to recommand in my price range for my car ?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help
