My 4 year old joying head unit died. So I need a replacement I don’t really need the full android experience just something that works reliably with Android Auto.
What are your suggestions.
I would like to keep it around $200 if possible.
Thanks

Were you wanting Android Auto or hacked Android Head unit?

Android Auto would be my preference but would consider either

I've got a 2015 hyundai sonata that just got the update to enable Android Auto.. I have yet to see a thread on here regarding this setup, is it just because they are just now coming out so nobody has been messing with them, or is there no interest in modding these head units? I'd love to be able to customize mine, however, starting that process is way out of my league.. That being said, if someone else is interested, I'd be happy to help in any way I can.
That's a different forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-auto-general
how is this an android auto general forum topic? this forum is for android head units.. the AVN 4.0 system that is in the '15 sonata is android based. therefore, correct forum.
Oh, I see. I'd thought Android Head Units were units that consumers can buy separate from the car.

nothing? wow, that sucks.. If it helps, i've got the update file for the head unit from Hyundai that enables android auto that I can post somewhere/send to someone to play with.. i really just want to be able to mess with my head unit, maybe replace the AA on it with one of the custom AA rom's/apps that are out there such as the one one that is in the other AA thread that allows you to turn your tablet into a head unit.. If anyone has any tips or anything on things I can look into to get this going, I'd be happy to do them. Hell, if you're in the LA area, I'll even bring my car to you to screw around with a bit if that'll help.
I'm no where near LA, but I would love to take a look at the file. With these systems being Android based, I'm sure there is some fun to be had.

Hey, if you still have that file, would you mind sharing it with me. I have a 2015 Kia Sorrento that I really want android auto on.
I am not any type of hacker or reverse engineering person. but If I had the file its a step in the right direction to finding a way to get it installed on my unit.
Hello everyone, I wonder what the "Android 2DIN Head Unit Universal" who advise me to buy "value and price".I did not want to spend much money, but at the same time do not want to put something weak. Someone can help me ? Is for VW Golf 4 year 2000. If possible good seller too. Thank you
You might struggle with this kind of post because most people will only have experience with one unit.
All I can say is the I went for the Newsmy Carpad 2 and am really happy with it. But I think if you went for any of the popular ones on this forum you wont be going far wrong.
I'd stay clear of the rare ones though - bit more risky and you wont get the same level of community support.

OP let me know what you end up getting. I as well have a 2001 GTI 1.8T. I have the appradio 2 but didn't install it yet. Want to get an android set up.
after my experience w/ my car joying unit, I say you are best off going with a unit customer built for your car. it will cost you more but in the end it will be easiest installation, best look, and the least compromise.
see if car joying makes one for your car model. they have great support both here on xda, and directly through the manufacturer.

They don't make them for Mk4 Golfs. Format is too old. He can only go with an universal joying and a fascia which you can get from anywhere from 8 to 35 Euro...

I had this unit. it's the best standard head unit you can buy as of now. the big issue it has is BT audio quality. If you can live with below average BT call quality then you should be okay. Everything else about it is great. I personally wasn't happy w/ how it looked in my car though. Be aware it is NOT a true double-din size. It is about .5" wider than a standard double-din, so you will need to do some cutting to get it to fit right in your car.
Maybe you should go with a universal head unit, cause I can't find a plug&play one for Golf 4 currently... If you got one, pls let me know ...
Hi, I recently bought a Secaine 10.2" head unit for a Jeep Renegade. It was advertised as running Android 5.0.1, but it is on Android 4.2 KitKat. Has anyone updated any similar units?
I also bought a android head unit from Seicane for my nissan murano that was advertised as having 5.1, but was actually running kitkat, all they did was re-skinned the UI, shame on them. You should let them know
Seicane has a lot of options for sizes that other resellers do not have, but i never see anyone on here like "oh man seicane is so great"
like i want this size for my Jeep Wrangler:
http://www.seicane.com/10-1-inch-hd...teering-wheel-control-rearview-camera-s301171
and no one really has it, I want Joying to make that

Theres no such thing as a "Seicaine" head unit, they are just sellers who sell head units from many different manufacturers.

A picture of your MCU may help identify what unit you have.
Thanks for any help with this. The MCU is as follows
5.3.19-3-88-047201-161124-BNR

No probs, with that info and the cpu type you should search the Android headunit general forums to try and find what unit you have.
Just getting into the Android auto scene, and deciding what unit to go with.
Obviously the scene for the px5 units seems a lot more mature, so I'm tempted to go that way. I know everything I touch I end up rooting, so I'm wondering if I should pick up a px5 device instead.
Are people in the scene going with the newer px6's if we have the chance or should we pick up older units?
I have the same question... I have to replace an old (and hacked) PX3 unit (1 g ram is too little for me) But I don't know if buy a PX5 unit or PX6. At the moment I'm really confused. Pro & Cons?
sub'd
I would go PX5, PX5 has community support, sure the PX6 is gaining steam but wait.. I had one of the first PX6 units in NA and it was definitely a work in progress.. It took me a while to gain root and even when I did it was way to new to do much with.. I have it sitting on a shelf till there is more done. I have only been able to root it.. Tried many times to install Malasyk with no avail. I dont have the time with my career to dabble.. I miss doing that.

No question about it. The PX6 is heads and shoulders above the PX5. Faster chips, using less power and much better gpu. If you are looking to be thrifty about it, go with the less expensive Seicane or Doing. If you want the best Android unit go with Dasaita Max6. Cheers!

I went with the max6, got it all rooted and love it! Great unit! I mean, the resolution could use some work, as we all know. But other than that it's great!
I see no problems going with px6. Its just like phones. Yha gotta wait for the support. Or you must really need root..
Hardware mainboard has not changed. Per px3, expect same ported software bugs and hardware issues, with an upgraded processor. Might be more to do with SOM/SOC supply than anything else.
I have a Dasaita PX5 HU, can I buy a PX6 SOM and replace the one in my HU?
does it have to be Dasaita or any SOM is ok? where can i buy one?
thanks!
Hello!
I am looking for a 2DIN head unit with android, I currently have one with no brand that runs almost great, but sometimes android auto just freezes and I want to use it.
Can you help me? thanks!
Price around 50-100e (mine cost 65e) I know it's cheap, but I don't want it to run smooth, just to be able to use it OK
