Hello folks,
I bought cheap PX3 Android unit MTCE_LM, but need for upgrading TDA7388 amplifier with the TDA7850 amplifier.
Android is working, updated with Malaysk and MTCE_LM_V3.67d, works with the car via CAN BUS.
As it comes without harness, I need connector for rear view camera, or at least which port should I use for video signal. So far I could not find it...
There's a screens below and thanks in advance!

Hi guys,
My old Android head unit got touch screen broken so I'm looking for a new one.
My car is Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120, 2005, with a JBL amplifier, but I already have a CANBUS decoder from my old android head unit.
Can you recommend a unit that will work with a rear view camera (RCA), car recorder (USB) and has possibly least number of issues?
And a seller (preferably tomtop, gearbest, banggood or aliexpress)?

Thanks for recommendation, but this is a 2-DIN unit, and I need one specific for Toyota Prado to integrate nicely with my dashboard. I didn't find one like that from Joying.
Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum. I know a bit about Volvo (the older ones!), and Volvo head units, but not about Chinese Android head units.
I’m considering replacing the aging head unit of my (also aging!) 2002 Volvo V70. The head unit is a simple HU 603, so no Dolby, center speaker or extra amplifier. I’m looking at Xtrons TA702P (quad core) or TB706PL (octa core). I prefer a 7 inch touch screen, no knobs, no DVD. But navi should be good, as would radio. Music I can play through usb. And my Elephone S7 (Android 7.1) phone should mirror on the unit if possible.
Other functions like back up camera or steering wheel control are not important to me.
I know how to take the HU 603 out. I know I need an adapter harness to connect with the new unit. And a fascia adapter. All that is available.
My questions:
Xtrons has many car/model specific head units (not for Volvo). They have Canbus decoders supplied with the unit. Not so for the TA702P or the TB706PL. Will that give problems? (The answer from the ebay seller is somewhat useless: ‘Both the TB706PL and the TL702P does not come with the canbus so that you just ignore it.’) Anyone has experience with this?
How are user experiences with these modern Xtrons units? I know, ‘you get what you pay for’, I know that. But still, worth the money?
Units from Kenwood or Pioneer are other options, but again, is it worth it?
Thanks!
Hi there
I own and drive a V70 from 2006. I have replaced the original HU with a SONY 2 DIN unit (XAV-V630BT). This unit has great sound. I also swapped the speakers to JBL. It is totally worth it.
I have a CANbus to resistor unit. This makes it possible to use the steering wheel buttons.
Right now i am testing a Android HU. Unfortunately i have bought the wrong one. The unit is full of bad design choices. The sound integration in the unit is bad. I think that radio, BLUETOOTH and AUX sound runs directly to the sound processor. This means that when the Android unit plays a sound, the sound from the other units are turned off. In my opinion the other source should just fade a little.

Hi there
As said, I don't need steering wheel controls, my steering wheel doesn't even have the buttons. Must have been a cheapskate first owner!
Does this mean the Canbus only affects steering wheel control? So ignoring Canbus (no resistor as in your case), will give no problems?
And yes, by now I've found out Android units may not have the best sound quality. Or radio reception.

Hi,
one year ago I bought and installed this android head unit from aliexpress for my Suzuki Liana:
Android system 2.5D 9 Inch car multimedia player for Suzuki LIANA 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010-2013 car radio vehicle gps navigation
Some stats: Android 8.1, CPU: A7 1.3GHz, GPU: Mali-400, RAM 1GB, ROM 16GB, Radio Chip: NXP 6851, Amplifier: AC 7315 4*45W
Everything (even including they steering wheel buttons) works fine only the internal microphone is virtually useless. I read that some head units have really cheap and weird cable-ling going through the Bluetooth module. It also just be the cars vibrations transmitted in the head unit casing. Anyhow, the microphone as it is, and thereby any google assistant functions, are non functional. Unfortunately the head unit does not have any jack for an external microphone.
I saw that several people redo the wiring and solder an external microphone in the head unit. I would like to avoid this, since I am not that familiar with electronics and I am not keen on disassembling my dashboard (again).
I read that some people with similar problems connected a external USB sound card to their radio to get around this. I bought an external card and a microphone on amazon (Sabrent USB External Soundcard and augustcoco Microphone 3.5 mm External Microphone). I tried it on both USB ports of the head unit but nothing changed.
I have 2 questions:
1) Does anyone has an idea to make an external microphone on this head unit work?
2) If the USB soundcard would work, can I only use its input (microphone) and keep the output sound from the head unit? I do not want to change the output, since I can not reroute it back from the soundcard to the head unit.
Thank you for your support!
Hi, could anyone tell me if the xtron range units themselves are kinda generic? ie the main units are the same, only car brand fascia and iso harness supplied the differences? ive just aquired very cheap SUZUKI Android 9.0 Car Stereo with DSP (PST99SZK) unit, and looking at it it seems it can be unscrewed and removed from its suzuki specific facia, so my question is are the pinouts on the connections at the back on the different units the same, or are they different, and could i use this unit in my vehicle (2007 audi TT 8J) using this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004539995254.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.41681802yBnZsH
also is there custom rom that would be able to be flashed to this device?
Hal9k possible ???
Hello, has anyone installad Android HU to Mondeo 2014 with original Navi.
Can you recommend any? Also interested to know how SW-buttons work with Android HU.
Pictures with Android Hu installed would be nice to see.

If you can't find a head unit of a known brand you can buy such a frame with harness for your car and a 9 inch head unit separately.
Best start is to search for the pinout description of your current OEM radio. Because this gives you the possibility to validate the connections and to check if your cars SWC is a resistant matrix. Additonally it helps to use an existing reverse camera.
This can be done before you invest money.
If your SWC it is a resistance matrix you can directly connect the head unit and use the learn functionality to map your SWC buttons to different functions.
If you already have a reverse camera and you want to continue to use it you have to connect it by yourself. E.g. by finding a prepared adapter or by creating your own. Here is the description how I realized it for another car - just to give you an idea:
Junsun V1 MTK8259 - the adapter battle (Kia Ceed Jd) / OEM camera usage / reference thread
I bought the Junsun V1 head unit but my Kia Ceed JD had a OEM nav unit which isn't directly compatible to Junsun V1. So I re-wired the wiring harness based on the pins description of my original OEM navigation unit. I'm only modifying the wiring...
forum.xda-developers.com
The head unit sellers estimation is that you start with a stupid radio and so my car, which already had an outdated navigation head unit, was a special case - without a ready to use solution.
And please figure out if you own a Ford Mondeo MK3 or a MK4.
Car is MK4 and as far as I know it has resistant matrix at SWC. I found the same fascia as in picture you sent.
Reason why I wan't to install 9" unit is that I have Junsun V1 Pro from my former car. It would not be very expensive to test how it works, only CanBus decoder and wiring harness needed.

If you don't need CAN features even the decoder isn't needed. And it's better to connect resistant matrix bypassing the can box.

But now I see that you air condition has no separate display. As you know, to get this functionality a can box is required.
