Sorry if wrong place, I didn't see anything for lesser-known devices, or for this specific unit running Android.
Dynavin is a company that makes Generic replacement/upgrade automobile Nav equipment. Originally it was WinCE based, but they began in April selling and Android variant. I'm just now reading up on it myself, but there are questions about rooting it and fixing some small aggravations, like GPS zulu time, that I'd expect this community could easily accomplish. The best place I know to learn about it is a BMW site, E46fanantics.
Here's a link to a relevant thread there: oops, I'm too new, can't do a real linke, hope this works. forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=839753&page=93
I think this is an awesome development, should end up like Ford's "Sync" for the open community.
Mods, please move to the appropriate place if I've screwed up on location.

you can try rooting by superoneclick
some specs of the device would help more
Hi Guys,
after doing lots of research in the last couple days I cannot really get an overview over all the different resellers/manufacturers.
I am now more confused than when I started gathering informations... Joying, Pumpkin, Atoto,..... a lot of names, all offering what looks like the same?
Is there any comparison chart or something I could have a look at? Maybe a site that is dedicated to those android head units?
I tried to compare the different head units on my own but data sheets and real world performance/reliability are 2 diferent things.
Are there any general advices for buying android head units?
What about that DSP stuff? Is it even worth the extra money? - I also found very different opinions (including threads here on xda)
Maybe we can gather a little bit of information in this thread so beginners can get more infos about the topic..
Some help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Fold
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.
Hi all,
I am new to Android headunits and I am looking for something to fit to my VW transporter (T5.1). What I am looking to understand is what would you recommend to buy at the moment in terms of having good community support (for further dev etc). I am fine generally with flashing devices with custom roms but not sure what hardware to start with.
Any advice welcome!
Thanks in advance.
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
