I'm looking to get my first chinese head unit to replace my poor stock unit. Currently I'm looking at the Xtrons PCD76OLO but obviously, being a member of XDA, I can't just fit it and not improve it!!
So, is there any way to find out the spec, particularly if it's MTCB or MTCD, before I buy it?
If it's any help, the unit runs Anroid 6.0
Thanks!!
Hello everyone.
So I found these two head units
Mekede m300s and Ts10
The ts10 one seems to have only two themes and the Mekede m300s looks much better, but the ts10 have 4gb ram instead of 3gb.
So is there any other differences? And which one should I go for?
Fyt unit. Mekede. Forget ts10

any reason why? is it quality problems or the ability to root and mod or something else? thanks
edit: sorry to ask this what's FYT?
Read this forum. There are several topics about FYT and what it is: No explanation here.
And indeed: go for the Mekede.
TS10 has more bugs, but there are also man happy users. It is sometimes simply a question of taste or "what does this unit better than that and is important for me".
So read, read, read.
It is actually not very usefull to ask this in a forum. Most users here only have one unit of the same generation (or two the same from the same generation) move from an older unit to a newer unit, either from the same reseller and the same manufacturer, or from another reseller but still the same manufacturer, or .., or ...
Which person has two or more uis7862 units from multiple manufacturers at the same time to compare?
Looking to replace the 2017-ish model 7" Pumpkin head unit I bought from Amazon back then. It's starting to show its age, runs Android 7.1, takes forever to install downloaded apps or updates, I think there was only ever one or two system updates released for it. My preferences for a replacement;
-Would like something that still gets regular updates, or can run LineageOS or another clean, stable custom ROM.
-Would like something I could root, but not mandatory.
-Must have at least one USB pigtail, my Pumpkin had two and I use them for low profile flash drives that contain my music.
-Preferably 4gb RAM. Not even sure why anyone makes android devices with 2gb anymore. Doesn't need a ton of storage because I only install a few apps...play store, gmail, chrome, torque pro.
-No disc player/slot needed.
Anything that fits those preferences? I think the Pumpkin AA0703B would probably work, but I'm afraid of it slowing down after a year and taking half an hour to install a Chrome update like my current one. There's also the Joying JY-UQ128N4G. Thanks.
Fyt uis7862 based units of 3gb or more. Avoid teyes reseller units.
There are no custom ROMs, they are all modded factory ROMs largely to address bugs and workarounds (mtcd and stm type). Not needed on FYT UIS7862 units.

I google searched "FYT UIS7862". I think some Joying units may have that from the results I'm seeing? I'm not getting any reputable results on where/what model to purchase.
It looks like the Joying JY-UQ135N4G-DA has that processor you mentioned, and is available for 334shipped directly fromthe joyingauto website. That a good model, and is that website official/reputable?
There's a whole forum dedicated to FYT units, perhaps you missed it.

Only then will you know what is being brought and potentially head off bring conned/ripped off/tricked by the seller. FYI - I brought an FYT UIS7862 6GB, from seller "mekede" on aliexpress - after requesting s/shots. It is vastly superior to the MTCD units and probably anything else Chinese origin Android Head unit.
Yes, this takes some effort from you...would have thought you at least looked through my post history and searched here.
I can't seem to find a thread or list anywhere of reputable sellers and current reputable head unit options. I see a few models mentioned in random threads, but I've not had any luck finding them at places like aliexpress? Just trying to find a universal 7" double-din that is confirmed to be good and made in the last year.
Hi, I'm also finding out what I'm going to trade my px5 for. After reading 4pda and xda, I came to the conclusion that the best thing you can buy today is the FYT platform with the UIS7862 processor. It is the most powerful and has an open system for editing, and on 4pda you will find the necessary updates and mods here on XDA. Here are some tips on 7 "Universal. Top rated are Mekede, Navifly and EKIY KK5. It's good to take it with at least 4gb ram.

Personally, I would choose the M600S. If you want to save then the M500S should suffice. Of course, it's best to take the M700S.

Good grief, read first, post later. When your next post is thoughtful, I can reply to it.

Listen man, technically I've been on this forum longer than you have but clearly you know more about these head units than I do, and therefore know where the fragments of info about them are scattered. There are no stickied topics listing reputable shops/sellers, or which radios to get. I'm not going to browse hundreds of threads trying to piece it together either. You can't even type "FYT UIS7862" on google and get useful results, it's mainly stuff about Joying head units. Clearly the information isn't easily available.
If you don't want folks coming in here asking questions like this AFTER having already searched for an answer, then maybe you can author a few stickied posts to answer those questions and make it easier on us? Otherwise, being rude about it doesn't help and that's not how XDA has ever or should operate. Chill out a bit before coming back to my thread.

Awesome, thank you for the info and the list of recommended radios. I'll look through those and do a bit of research on each one before making a decision.
It seems when someone first tries searching for the info I was looking for, they're somehow led to the Joying head units. I know back in 2016-2017 the Joyings were OK, but what about today? Not worth looking at anymore?
I have the Mekede M600s and M700s pulled up side by side, but all the info and specs look the same. I think this is probably more the fault of Mekede, or how aliexpress works, because when you choose a different model the specs don't change on the page. Do you know what the differences are between the two?
Edit: Found it. Further down their pages they have comparison charts.
Joying is still a good brand, the choice is yours. Here it is even with a knob and buttons, maybe it will suit you better to control:

I'm thinking I'm either getting the Joying 6/64gb with knob, or the M700. Joying is more expensive but my current Pumpkin 2/32gb has a knob and I quite like having that. Will do a bit more research and hopefully make a decision today. Appreciate your help!

This units are unlocked bootloader, rooteable, running android version 10 or above. Mine for example comes with 128gb rom and 8gb ram and it is fast, qled screen.
Not Android Automotive. OP doesn't realise device is simply Android modified by Chinese origin seller.
Requested moderator move to Android head units.

Easy question, easy answer:
No. As marchnz already answered: These units are NOT Android Automotive, these are reduced and special developed for being used with hardware on a separate board.
Android itself has restricted influence on the functionality of this board.
Android Automotive goes a complete different way and a complete different hardware combination.
The chipset is known so far and you would have found it yourself by using the forum search.
Hi all,
Can anyone point me to which type of android system this is? Uis7862? Or ?
Thanks
Weird oddball.
It seems like an ALPS unit, which are mostly (the new ones that is) AC8227L (ARMV7) units or MTK units. Low(er) performance, cheaper units.
But I am not certain of it and I know nothing about it.
There are some posts in the several sub-forums (not this FYT forum) about ALPS AC8227L units (try with ALPS 8227). See if you find more similarities with your unit.
I will ask to have your post moved to the general Android head unit subforum.
MCU: LH.V3.0.230102 -> search by this term, chipset is ALPS AC8227L
I would run CPu-Z app to identify first...
I don't know if it is XY AUTO or something newer.
