Hey guys, recently got an Android head unit for my 2008 GTI, and while it was working well enough for the first couple days, today the bluetooth suddenly stopped seeing any device. Nothing shows up in the bluetooth menu and it just searches endlessly. I did a factory reset, and surprisingly it not only fixed the bluetooth issue, some other stuff started working like the car info app. But the fix was short lived as later in the day the bluetooth issue came back, not able to detect anything.
I have done as much searching as I could, but it is difficult with how fragmented these Chinese units are, and how they are so similar but slightly different. I have read that it may be possible to flash different MCU versions but would like confirmation before i try anything. Here is all the info I can get about mine, first this is the one I bought:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XY2C1WC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Model: px3 (1024x600)
Android Version 7.1.2
Kernel version: 3.0.101+
MCU Version: MTCD_ZYC_v2.55_1 June 23 2017
CPU Arm Cortex A9
Any help would be appreciated, I got Android Auto working and its awesome, but not having bluetooth for calls is a deal breaker for me...
I messed with the stereo tonight and got the bluetooth working again by simply pressing the small reset button that seemed to actually power cycle the device. I also decided to disable the backup camera mode as I dont plan on installing the camera any time soon, so I cut the wire labeled backup and that seemed to do the trick as now when it is put in reverse, it doesnt load up that blank screen. Strangely enough though, when using Android Auto through Headunit Reloaded, it still went blank when put into reverse, like it can still tell. And when the video comes back it had artifacts all over the screen, but only in that program.

You only had to go to factory settings and set no reverse camera without cutting anything

I looked through the factory settings and could not find anything related to the backup camera
Guys I hope you can help.
I purchased an android unit (I wish I could post the link of the unit but the forum will not let me) almost a year ago, it was working just fine, until a few months back when I noticed that sometimes the WiFi was not ON when I started my car, this only happened a couple of times so I didn't give it much attention until it started happening a lot like 50% of the times.
Now yesterday and part of today WiFi was OFF every time I started my car, this now a problem, I need WiFi for Waze and spotify.
I've noticed that if I turn off my car wait a few seconds and start it again the wifi might come back but it does not work 100% of the times
Any help would be appreciated
you can find the model on amazon if you search for 9" Quad-core 1024600 HD screen Android 5.1 Car DVD GPS Navigation for Kia Sportage 2017
I recently acquired a Sinosmart branded head unit for my car, it's one of the px3 quad core units. It has an odd issue where every 10 seconds it produces a "key tone" (beep) as if you had pressed one of the front panel buttons or used the touchscreen. I've tried a ton of different things including changing the key tone settings (low med high off), killing/disabling/uninstalling all of the apps one by one to see if any of them were causing the issue, I've repeatedly clean flashed (factory reset/wiped all data and cache) from Hal9k ROM 2.3 Nougat 7.1.2, Hal9k 5.11 rom. I've upgraded the mcu firmware for my unit. I've messed with every setting/option I can think of, the only thing that stops the tone is to mute the radio. I've found several others that have had a similar issue unresolved. At this point I'm having a hard time deciding weather it's hardware or software related, the fact that it persists after a clean flash points to maybe a hardware issue. If anybody could chime in and perhaps point me in the right direction it would be super appreciated! Thanks!
Apologies if this is the wrong forum - newbie.
I have an Xtrons PX30 based unit and the reversing camera has become intermittent - works about 1 time 10. After spending days checking the wiring and even buying a new camera I noticed that the behaviour is consistent and therefore likely to be a software issue. The symptoms are: with the camera not working - switch the head unit off and the camera now works. Switch the unit back on again and the camera still works and will remain working for quite a while but will eventually stop working again.
I've tried factory reset and updated the MCU and the system to the latest versions I can find here:

But makes no difference (The interface is nicer though). It's liveable with but irritating.
Just bought a Bosion PX6 for my 2007 Ford Mondeo. Seems ok but a bit buggy. Freezes, illuminates sometimes and not others, sometimes stays on after ignition turned off. All intermittently.
Does anyone know where I can get an Android update for it (currently Android 10)?
What is the easiest way to root this unit?
Many thanks.

AIDA is nothing you should use on these units, because it says... nothing...
Take a screenshot of "About tablet" where a guy can see the MCU version and the firmware version.
Beside that: Install "Fake Device Test" from Android store and show the results.
