Hello!
I am sure this topic has been covered before but couldn't find any information I am looking for unfortunately. I got a 10.1" Android headunit off AliExpress and it came with Android 6.1.1. I would really like to update the system to android 8.1 if possible. I tried going to system update in the settings and it states "path does not exist." If you guys have any input or links to where I can download the software and still keep the functionality of the tablet for my car, please let me know!
Thanks!

Hello There,
I have ordered 1 year and half ago from China and got multimedia screen for Honda accord 2004 with android version 6.1.1, model: Allwinner T3, K2001-N
I don't get many of the options like in other android devices and multimedia screens, maybe this is fake android's version?
Can i upgrade the firmware to new version of android to get open options like in others screens or m,aybe to put the original stock of android with another version?
for example, in new android version when you open one the car's doors it shows on the screen which door have you opened.

You have a Sofia unit. That unit is running Android 6.0.1. That does not support phones with Android 8.x. There is no firmware that will help you.
You should better take a look at HUR: Head Unit Reloaded. It is made by an XDA developer.

What info? From the supplier or the website or on your unit?
I don't see that from your images.
Also: A Sofia running on android 8.0? That would be the first that I know of (but I don't know everything , not by far )
Your 2nd image shows a Bluetooth version of 6.0.1.-23. That version is not correct, but is shows Android 6.0.1 with some kernel version.
Anyway: Even if your Sofia is running Android 8, there is no (custom) firmware available that will allow it to pair with an android phone on 8.x or newer.
Thank you for the explanation surfer.
That means i cannot install any of the firmware on this forum?

Probably not. Maybe you can install the gtxaspec custom rom, but only if your funrover is 100% identical with a Joying Sofia (which is possible).
Normally there is a fyt.prop where the company is defined. For Joying that id is 43. So even if you use that custom rom, you first need to change the id in the custom ROM to the Funrover id, otherwise your MCU will give problems.
And even in that case: your android phone 8 will still not be supported in Android auto/Easyconnected.
So my advice: Don't even try that route as you will not have any support.
Go for HUR like I advised in my first post.
Hello,
I need help to find out, how to update a chinese PX6- Based Android HU.
I have bought this: https://www.ebay.de/itm/BMW-E87-E82-10-25-Android-8-1-SixCore-Auto-GPS-Navigation-Radio-2-32G-iDrive/113662190612?hash=item1a76cb6414:g:NOoAAOSwFfJccWCv
But it says no where which manufacturer it is.
I have seen that all HUs are looking same, but have all different vendors.
Are they just like whitelabel products, and every HU is the same?
If i can update the HU, i would like to write a little tutorial in order to help the rest with these chinese HUs.
I have found a chinese site with a PX6 software version, but dont know if its compatible.

Thank you very much.
Most BMW Headunits are from GS, you find the code within the MCU version numbering.
It`s not possible to upgrade from a lower Android version to a newer one, if you have an 8.1 Unit you only can update internally to newer 8.1 Updates.
the chinese do not release source codes, if you want to have a unit with newer android, unforunatley you need to buy a new Unit (better with Snapdragon 625).

Oh thats an answer I don´t quite expected.
Are updates not possible even with other custom roms?
Can´t these custom roms simply add the BMW-Skins?
What would you suggest to do with this device?
They are quite expensive.

It`s more a question of what features do you miss at the moment, newer units also miss some features older units have.
There are two large Posts at the F30 forum, one primary for Android 7.1/8.1 and one for Android 9.0.
Note that Android 9 is available for PX6 and Snapdragon, anyways it`s not possible to upgrade a 8.1 Unit to 9.0 at the moment.

I found a page called xtrons
there are two links with update files:

Hi everyone, can any one help me with the following?
I bought a Android HU on Taobao with a system version of V10.5.5_20210311.193033_TW2.
The device information is showing Android 10. However when I hit this column multiple times, it showed a marshmallow icon, which I believe it's an Android 6 version.
I used 3rd party software like CPU-Z to reconfirm on the android version and it says Android 6 too.
May I ask if t's possible to upgrade to Android 10? And can anyone direct me to the solutions?
Thanks in advance.
bump for help. Can anyone advise on how to proceed with updating android 6 to 10? Or is it impossible? Thanks much.
Hey guys got a rkpx6 vertical head unit running android 9.0. I was wondering if there is anyways to upgrade the android version to a newer version such as 10 or 11. All I can find is 100$ firmware they try to sell you that adds "themes" doesn't update anything really regarding Android.
Here's some pictures with device/software information:
Anyone?

There is for now no way to get Android 10 onto these units.
...and by the way. Reminder only the next day.
