Hello Everyone,
I have what is sold as a "Android GPS Navigation Box". I plan to use it with a video interface on my E61 BMW. I've tested everything and it works, but I'd like to root the device and *hopefully* find some custom roms. Here is the company website:
http://www.cardvdnavi.com/Andnroid-GPS
This is labeled as a GPS-900. They have the same unit with direct interfaces for Kenwood, JVC, and Pioneer head units.
It is a Allwiner A7 t3_p1 CPU. I'm not sure if I should be looking here in Android Head units or maybe in the tablet forum?
Any and all help is much appreciated!
Here's a copy of the manual
Nothing?

Hi all,
I am currently looking to replace my car head unit on my mitsubishi lancer 2009 from stock to an android based unit.
I went thru a lot of thread and info in this forum and narrowed down my search to a few unit, but i'll be honest I am a bit overwhelmed with all the model and version available on top of all the information available.
can anyone help me figure the best option available ?
so far those model seem to be the most popular
Pumpkin Android 6.0

Erisin ES6041U or Erisin ES5646U

Ownice C500
ownice.com/Pro_Head%20Unit%20for%202din%20universal_449.html
is there one of those that really stand out from the others ?
would they all fit a standard double din ?
can I expect to run into any major issue setting this up in my car ?
bottomline, I am looking for a headunit I can use for radio, internet music like spotify, navigation like waze or google map and support for backing camera in america.
any help to figure out what is the best fit would be amazing.
Thanks a lot!
Erisin have very bad reviews, seems that their devices are quickly dying and they don't provide support and it seems that the FM reception is not that good. Joying are well supported but I read that the audio amplifier is not that good, Ownice and Pumpkin are popular but I do not know much (not sure about the components)
I like my C500 octacore 2GB so far. Very fast and everything I want is working fine.
All the apps I've tried so far are working great including the ones you mention above.
Hi
I´m trying to find the right head unit for my Audi A3 1gen (8L, 2002) something to replace my current audi concert 2.
I have plenty of experience with rooting/flasing android phones, but this will be my first head unit.
I´m looking for ideally cheap gps/radio combo with root capability and viper4android support, but there is a overwhelming amount of chineese brands and chipsets i´m not familiar with.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi all,
First time posting here. I need your expertise and help! I am looking for an Android head unit for my Mini Cooper 2012. I had found the Teyes CC3 but their support said that the Mini product they have (this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001666526066.html) is not compatible with a right-hand drive...
I really like the CC3 but if it doesn’t connect to my right-hand-drive car then I can’t order it. Can you guys suggest a solution or a better alternative that will work with my car?
I have attached a photo of my dash, if that helps. Thanks, everyone!

Android head unit (grey market, non certified device) or Genuine Android Auto?
Also, Teyes support may not be accurate.

Thanks for getting back to me! I quite like something like the Teyes one — essentially an Android tablet with all the functionality of a GPS, Radio, etc. What do you suggest?
“Also, Teyes support may not be accurate.” Do you mean to suggest that the CC3 will work with a right-hand-drive?
Hi guys,
I have owned different MTCD headunits (all px 3/5).
For my new car I ordered a 64/4 headunit but it seems like it's a different chipset etc.
As I have a few problems with is and the seller isn't respnding (yet) I'll hope you can help me identify the unit so I can update firmware/mcu etc
Cons:
Biggest issue: GPS is not working. Because of that the time and date are off. If adjusting it manually it stays on the time and date from where the unit gets to sleepmode and won't adjust untill manual adjustment.
I have a annoying humming sound in the OEM subwoofer. It wasn't there with the Kenwood headunit that was installed before this one. Still can't solve it. It also humms when the RCA aren't attached so it seems a power input issue to the amp of the subwoofer. Still figuring out what to do about it.
Pros:
It seems to have wireless Android Auto besides wireless Carplay. It was not advertised but when I put on my hotspot from my mobile, it autostarts Android Auto on the headunit. Very nice!
Bought on Hipzo store (Aliexpress).
CPU INFO: UIS8581A (Octa 1.6GHZ)
MCU: 2021.12.10 15:04:26 NOR_53_L6315_G23P48F64_V:1.0
Android 11 (not sure, seems like Android 10 because of buildnumber)
buildnumber: QP1A.190711.020
System info: APP 1024x600 2021-12-11
Any help is appreciated.
Hello,
Could you share the findings about this head unit?
I have the same head unit, except for CPU and display resolution. I am still trying to understand what is the version which is compatible with this head unit.
Any info is well appreciated.
UIS7862 FYT based unit
I have a Subaru Forester Limited with the Harmon Kardon audio system that came stock with the car.
I'm looking to upgrade to something that will provide Android Auto and Apple Carplay without needing to plug in the phone. I'm currently leaning towards Idoing but am open to any suggestions you all might have.
I don't have much experience when it comes tinkering with electronics or cars, so I figured one of these all one solutions would make it the easiest for me. This way I'm not going to be splicing any wires and it will all be plug and play (I hope).
I've reached out to Idoing because I'm not exactly sure which model I would even pick. These are the ones that seem to fit my vehicle, but I'm not 100% sure.

Idoing 9"Car Android Radio GPS Multimedia Player IPS 2.5D For Subaru Forester 2016-2018 4G+64G 8 Core Navigation Zlink Head Unit
So am I looking the wrong direction? Is there a brand that I'm overlooking that would be better for me to get?
Thanks.
Ask seller to provide screenshots of Android System information, including MCU. With that you could know what is being offered and then research the forums.
You probably want a UIS7862 FYT based uint.

Thank you! I'm going to add that to my list of questions for them.
