I'm sorry as I'm sure this question gets asked a lot but I'm trying to do research and can't figure out which head unit this is. It's listed as an ERGOTRICS EK-6235 but seems very similar to a lot of other unit's I've seen custom made for Jeep and Chrysler products. I'd post a link but I don't have enough post count to do that.
It's Product ID: 32369091299 on AliExpress. Any help would be appreciated.
It looks like a HuiFei type. I'd like to see more specific specs to be certain, though.

I'm digging around this forum and it seems Joying or Ownice are the way to go. Is there a post or blog with a Buyer's Guide for these things?
Thanks!
Would love to see that too, was going to ask for one for Xmass... Thanks ahead of time.
this would be great...
Have you considered a Dasaita? @hotaudio posts MCU and Software updates on here pretty regularly
He probably would consider them if there was a buyer's guide type thread giving the pluses and minuses of the common units out there. I am in the same boat. Very interested but not sure which one to go with, and sorting through several 1000+ post threads on something you are not sure you will buy is a little off putting. Could be though that most everybody only has experience with their one unit and doesn't know about most/all of the units out there?
.
this would be great, I'm looking for a single din pop out that I can root with Bluetooth an wifi maybe even able to take a sim card to have its own data,
Hi there,
I'm looking for a new head unit for my ford ranger and came across these on aliexpress. aliexpress.com/item/4000930206169.html
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these units? I've tried searching Navirider and Otojeta on the forum but I can't find a great deal of information on them. I'm only new to android head units and I've been doing a bit of research tonight but I can't determine what internals this one uses. Plus, the fact that it says that it runs Android 10 has me confused. I haven't seen any units yet running Android 10. Any more info or experiences with this brand or style of head unit from anyone?
P.S. I'm only new here so if I've broken any etiquette rules then please forgive me.
So I've figured out the MCU is `RL7Ac`, but I can't find much more than that in terms of information on here about it other than people saying they have them. Did I miss any threads? I've tried searching all kinds of slightly different variations as well.
I'd just really like to, at the very least, install Android on it myself and update everything. Pretty sure many, if not most, of the "Tesla-style" Android head units are RL7A now. So I thought I'd find at least *something*, but I haven't. Any help or ideas on where to look would be greatly appreciated. I'm not even really finding much information about the RL7A MCUs themselves, which is odd to me. It's likely I am not looking in the best places with the best terms though. Could really use some pointers from someone with maybe some dev experience as that is what I want to eventually do.
Thank you!
Edit: I should add that I've contacted the manufacturer (Shenzhen Klyde Electronics), but they are a little hard to deal with. Mostly due to language barrier I believe, but I am still working on that route.
I've got a similar unit, and also similar questions.
No there are not any. Now is your big chance to create a modified ROM, or even a custom ROM if you can convince the factory to give you the source (99.999% not likely)
I have similar unit. And same question
And I hope any one guide me
These units are not that often... On top: The last available firmware is from 2021/07/13 and Android 9.
The communication with Klyde is really simple in English and there is no hard deal in it. I always get my requests/questions answered the next day or the day after.
@Midoatef00 No you don´t have a unit with RL7Ac... You got a different one with RL8Ac as far as I have seen in the other posting which has been closed due to double posting.

Thank you for your answering,
Please if you can help me or guide me to know my unit model or any formation about it and if can update it
I'm a newer android user
Don't know the right way

You should know more about your specific unit as me. You even did not give any more information than the MCU version. On top, you even don´t post why you need an update. As long as the radio is working fine, get away from running updates. There is no reason for any update.
You should ask your seller if there is any update available.
AFAIK there is no update, so no guidance needed...
I just picked up an Android 10 joying head unit. The install was easy and everything appears to be working. Is there anything else I need to do on the head unit? They didn't give much instructions. For instance the radio doesn't show the names very well but I don't know if I'm missing something or if that's how it is. This is my first foray into this stuff so I'm totally lost, any help would be appreciated, thank you

Hi, on this forum you have a bunch how to do stuff just read them, find your own model of multimedia and play with it.
There's a pretty steep learning curve for a lot of the stuff you will read about on here. Be careful and methodical. Don't make a change or upload a software or something to your unit if you aren't 100% sure about what it does. There is small chance you could brick your unit if you don't know what you're doing, and a less small chance you could unintentionally break some features that may require significant effort to restore.
First, determine the model, processor and firmware of your unit.
The processor could be a USI7862, could be an SC9853i or even a Qualcomm Snapdragon SD625. This will point you in the direction of the threads for specific FAQs/Q&A. That's your first step.
If you're generally pretty happy with your unit, I might suggest exploring downloading and using a new launcher to see if you like the change in interface. This could make you feel a whole different way about your Android head unit and make it 'feel' more like a factory stock unit with added features. Lots of customization options, and you can usually revert back to stock launcher pretty easily if you don't like it or if there are some compatibility issues.
So maybe that's a place to start - also, I think most of the Joying units (if not all) are FYT-made, so there will be more specific information available in the FYT head unit forum. Lots of good and helpful folks here, but they do expect you to read, read, read and try to learn the basics, too.

Yeah I think I'm starting to get the hang of some of it. I found out I have a UIS7862. Going to read through the thread for it and see what I can get out of it.

It will be a bit intimidating. Commit to reading through the UIS7862 threads in their entirety multiple times, and don't jump in with both feet uploading software. If you stick around and read for a few weeks while you get used to your head unit, you'll learn the terminology as you go, and you'll learn what you like and don't like about your head unit, as well as it's features and limitations.
Then you can make some more informed choices about IF anything needs to be changed, and learn HOW to do it.
I'm still early in the process myself.

AND TO ADD... Consult with others with same problems in this forum, that is main goal of this forum and what is for.
Hello people, can anyone help me with my problem, a few years ago I bought a Android 2din HU and I can't find which brand it is, when open the " about...." I see the model name A-Media Auto (1024X600 0)
Because the unit has Android V6.0.1 and it's getting slow and out of new app's I like to know if I can upgrade or root it so I could get more pleasure of it.
Or is it better to buy a new one for my Qashqai J10 and which brand?
Sorry, a lot of questions but I'm running out of searching on the net because there to many brands !!!
Hope someone can help me out of this, Thx in advance
After reading the forums, you will have learnt what is needed to identify head units from the thousands of variants.
You could then post the required details.
Perhaps read a few of my posts as a start. Xda is full of first timers looking for support instead of development
