Go to AliExpress and find yourself one of these (or equivalent):

Search for "Polo mk4" and make sure the model fits your car.
I would post some links, but as a new member here I am not allowed to yet (spam prevention).
I'd rather spend some extra money and get the newer more "expensive" models, with better prosessor, more RAM and Android 8.0 tho.
These will fit flush in your Polo mk4, no fascia needed.
Happy shopping!
Do u recommend this unit?
I found this u it online seems to be good to me but not proper i to specs an stuff, does this seem like it could last for quite a while an still be alright. I know the octacore is good if the cores are good enough and rgb of ram is great but is the processor good? Also buying from aliexpress an being in the uk will i get custom charges. Thankyou!!

I don't have this unit myself, but a similar one fit for Golf mk6. Very responsive and nice resolution on the screen.
You will have to expect custom charges when ordering from AliExpress, yes. But sometimes the sellers write a lower value on items, somteimes not..
You might want to check out Xtrons, Chinese manufacturer, but they have a UK-based store as well (if you want to avvoid customs). They have a player fit for Polo mk4, but it's £299 tho.
Still, that's cheap considering all the features you get.
You can search on Joying website:www.joyingauto.com,the VW unit is plug and play

Hello,
So, been scrolling through topics on the forum, but didn't see anything up to date.
After my horrible experience with the Eunavi store and their radio

I'm now looking for a replacement. I've got the GPS antenna, mic, and also a dashcam (back usb) installed on the car from before so I'd like to get something that can support all those. Lookin at the flip outs from Power Acoustic and Boss I haven't really seen anything that supports those.
Therefore I'd like to ask here, if anyone knows anything good (and cheap) that could utilize my now purely decorative accessories.. I payed 180 eur for the eunavi one that is now just a paperweight so I'd like to get something similar or cheaper if possible. Haven't seen much with android OS but perhaps there is still something out there.
Regards
I'm still using a Hizpo unit and it's OKish
Mine is 7.1, but all the latest ones are 8 or 9 which I haven't tried.

This looks exactly like the one I had (both the faceplate and also the UI). So I'm a little sceptical..
Thanks for the input tho!
Well, you said you wanted cheap I don't think you're getting a lot more unless you spend a lot more. And even then in the flip out market there is very limited selection. I thought about an octacore xtrons, but can't justify that price.
My hizpo version of this unit is still owrking OK after a year, why is your one a brick?

The software on my Eunavi one gave up and is not working anymore, the seller wouldn't help me get it fixed or gave me any update files for the OS. So i'm stuck with a paperweight that i can't use.
Anyone else?
How long did the Eunavi one last?

Hi, can someone help me, i need backup mcu for my cyclon mp7101A, who can help?

Hi, I am looking for android radio for my RAV4 from 2006 (usa version) and I need to please you to answer me if the components are fine/good, because I have a terrible headache when reading about all these processors, chipsets, amplifiers and etc. I know that some parts are kinda old.
I have chosen for now this model:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but I am not sure about the quality of the product.
This radio has got 64 Bits Octa-Core PX5 RK3368 Cortex A53 with 4Gb Ram and 64Gb Rom, TDA 7850 DSP Amplifier and NXP6686 radio module. Is there any components that are "must-have" in android radio?
I have got to spent about 265 dollars and prefer to order it from Europe. I am looking for the radio looking like this because others have a more modern look and may not quite fit with the RAV4 dashboard. However, if the components in modern-looking radio will be better and it will be much better to buy this modern-look, I will.
Thank you so much for any of your answers.

Okay so first you wanna make sure it is a MTCD or MTCE unit when looking at MCU. If not, I probably wouldn't bother. What you want to do is to buy cheap, install Malaysk mod and as a result, you will have a unit that is on par or better with the most expensive ones out there ($ 1,500+ price range).
If you are not interested in tweaking or modding your unit but rather want something that works of the shelf, don't buy anything but branded Androids like Kenwood, Alpine, Sony etc.
Hi there,
Looking into purchasing a head unit and 2 companies came up. AuCAR and ACARNAVI. Both seem to be a bit light on info/review and a bit hard to decide which is better. I've managed to get a screenshot of some of the system info for both units and wondering which I should get.
First screenshot is AuCAR, second is ACARNAVI.
Thanks

Not sure it's helpful, but I noticed that AutoTecPro seems to resell AuCar units and at least they are in the US/Canada space and may be easier to deal with and the prices seemed equivalent. They also had more complete descriptions and usage videos at least for the F-150 model.
The answer actually was: neither
They are made up brands selling various factory units. Welcome to Chinese commerce
Neither of which? They have a Canadian address and work out of there, I'm fully aware the units come from China, but they seems to do installs out of that location and the support has been good, at times reasonable for US. As for AuCar maybe they too sell a brand or brands that are yet from another manufacturer, but I knew far better what the product was and what the install was than other manufacturers because of more complete install and product videos.
This was my this third attempt at a head unit, the first being lame display and wouldn't work in the F-150, the second being TEyes which worked with the truck fine, but constantly kept resetting while in use and the support from China/Russia was abysmal, this time around made sure to talk to them twice before purchasing and while it hasn't been perfect at least I've gotten questions answered and support when a part was missing.

Nothing inherently wrong with products from China tbh. You get what you pay for. Also, not many options for my vehicle given it is produced in low volumes and requires custom wiring harnesses, and has direct interface with steering wheel controls, opening/closing exhaust valves etc etc. Also the head units are mated to custom car trim components etc... You can't really just plop in a random kenwood.. These guys directly develop these - not really a 'made up brand'

I dont say there was a problem with Chinese origin head-units.
I said the comparison bewteen the two made up brands is a false question - they are no different.

No, they sell from a factory, they don't develop anything and they are not real brands, they OEM.
Suggest taking a little time in the Android head unit forums to get an understanding.
Hi! I'm completely new to this as I just bought an old VW transporter that has this brand new, presumably Chinese, presumably Android, car radio device installed.
The documentation is scarce and I don't even have a name or reference for the device anywhere. The only "technical" part they mention is "how to change the boot logo" and they don't even give the proper 4 digits code to perform the change. Haha, I'm far from installing a clean Android on this
Could someone please help me figure out what is the device and guide me to the first steps of "jailbreaking" it? (USB key? Unmountit and plug it to my PC?).
Once I have this, promise, I will find my way on Google and try not to bother you too much
Please find a picture below, with the unique info screen I found.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Just by the looks of it this is ancient.
Looking at 4pda thread - it's Win CE and 7-8 years old. Get a new Android unit.

Thank you!.. even if it is bad news I just paid 160€ extra for it when I bought the car and I can't send it back. What Android unit would you recommend?

First check to see if there are any dedicated units for your car model. A dedicated unit will have the adapter frame and correct wire connectors, making the installation a lot easier.
Second, look for 6 to 8 GB RAM. Currently , the best units use the UIS 7862s octa-core processor and have QLED IPS screens. As for brands, I'd say go for a JOYING unit, they make good units and also have an actual customer support.
I have a choice of two models for my car which integrate nicely.
1. Owtosin official Unit: Owtosin Official Unit link Either with
PX6 with 4GB of ram and 64GB rom (743$ shipped canadian)

or
SD665 6GB of ram and 128GB rom (840$ shipped canadian)
There is also addons (wireless android auto/carplay + 40$, DSP (20$)
Cost is pretty significant for this unit for a Android based unit.
2. Heregoes Unit: Heregoes Unit Link with UIS7862 (8GB of ram and 128GB rom) for 590$ Canadian shipped.
There is a 300$ difference between the two which is significant. No doubt the Owtosin Official unit looks to be higher quality but I am not sure it is worth the difference in price.
1. Can anyone tell me if there will be a significant difference in day to day usage? I don't plan on doing much more than Waze, Spotify and may a DVR in the future with it. No watching movies or playing games here. May even just use Android Auto 90% of the time!)
2. Can anyone comment to the output sound quality? I have the bose sound system in my car which sounds great and am getting the Optical Fiber connector (included in both prices I quoted) and want to make sure I get decent quality sound. Not a snob but wanna make sure my OEM subwoofer etc work which are all part of the Bose system.
3. Can anyone comment to the sound quality of Bluetooth audio calls? I am willing to spend extra to ensure I have GOOD quality bluetooth calls at all times in the car.
4. I plan to connect it to an AHD backup camera. Anything to look out for with this?
5. I can't seem to figure out how many USB connections the UIS7862 based system has. Can I use a USB head one day if needed?
Happy to hear people's responses and see if I am on the right track and make a decision!
Pic of my gf with the car (it's actually her car!!)
Also quick follow up question I noticed.
The lower priced unit comes with TDA7851 and the higher quality unit I can purchase a bu32107efv.
Honestly just using the OEM bose system I think I really won't notice a difference especially since it will be 100% spotify streaming audio!
