Assistance Figuring out information on this Head Unit - Android Head-Units

Hello! I just recently installed this headunit on my bmw, I have browsed this forum for a few hours just trying to figure out more information on it, I have found myself in a never ending loop, The roms, mcu's, etc. I am utterly lost on trying to figure out more. It works great! and I love it so far, I managed to update the MCU Version the other day, not sure if that is able to tell anyone anything either, The one I had installed was: "Ksw-Q-Userdebug_OS_v3.6.5-ota" I at least think that is an MCU version, regardless I had installed it and it worked well, updated ZLINK and also seemed to help the bluetooth a good bit, I'm now able to connect effortlessly, and immediately launches Carplay and its near flawless minus the slight 1-2 Second lag (As expected for bluetooth) I am curious to see what all you guys can talk me through so I can either better understand my headunit or even show me. Id love to learn about a few roms people have been using and what exactly the benefits are to the one I am using, A popular thing brought up is "Rooting" What benefits would rooting my headunit bring? If there is any. And also I am having issues trying to connect bluetooth to my obd reader, I am able to actively pair it (Enter the pincode) and after that, it refuses to connect regardless how many times I press connect, it seems to just not do anything, I am attempting to use it to monitor AFR, Boost, EGT's Oil pressure/Temp, etc through bm3 I had even went and bought a enet to usb adapter and tried plugging it into my headunit obd port but alas, It was not working regardless, It isn't able to read vehicle vin information etc. Absolutely ANY information regarding my system either capabilities, Roms I should try, what exactly an MCU is, etc is appreciated. Below I have attached my Unit link on amazon, aswell as system information. Thank you! Zack

Peugeot 508 aftermarket radio no powering on

Hello!
I have a very strange problem with my android radio in my 508. When I'm trying to connect it with delivered canbus decoder, it's simply not powering on. I tried various combinations with power supply to the unit but without positive result yet. The only way that turns my radio on is bypassing power supply of canbus box and conecting it directly to power in on the unit. I thought that maybe canbus decoder is defective, so I returned it to supplier and received new one...still no success. I have red many manuals and forums but I cannot find the answer how to power on the unit with canbus decoder. I really need it to be connected because I need steering wheel buttons and readings from car computer (like AC, fuel consumption etc.). I know that to maintain it, power supply must be connected to canbus decoder, which triggers signal to power on the unit. Somehow it just doesn't work. I measured voltage on power harness, there is a good reading. I have also readings on canL and canH line. Everything is good on input side to canbus, on output I have zero...just like canbus is not working.
My radio is 1din android 8 unit equipped with canbus decoder:
decoder: MH (PA-SS-05)20180402
SS-PA0503271018-2
For: Peugeot 2008
P/N 1801300412
Software: PSA V2.27 005BYPS
Unit: MCU version: MTCE_MX2_V2.83_1

Please guys help me out because I am fighting with this chinese **** almost 2 weeks now
Hi,
I know it's a long time since your post, but I just installed an Android Head unit in my Peugeot 508 with JBL Sound, and the decoder I received was one for Peugeot 407, maybe that's why it's not working?
Also I cannot see your photos, they are most likely not online anymore.

Hi
Did you find a solution for this issue.

Hi! I have the same problem with TPMS device USB connectivity with Android multimedia head unit. I tried everything, but so far no result.
Did you find any solution?
Hi! I have exact the same product and i see exact the same pictures, that means I have the same issue on my head unit PX6 with Android 11. I also updated the app to the newer version without any result. Any idea someone?
Hi, I didn't solve the issue. I have tried TPMS on two other car Android multimedia with Android 6 and 7 versions, but without any success.
Do you guys own the TPMS from the head unit seller?
If not there is most probably the issue.
There are wo many aftermarket TPMS... and the head unit supplier just implements their own stuff. Also OEM TPMS are mostly not supported.
TPMS is not from the head unit seller. Supposedly it should work with Android car aftermarket multimedia, but it seems that's not the case.

Exactly!
If I have a look at the provided pictures... It seems to be clear: The TPMS on the wheels are not connected. They need to get activated wheel by wheel.
So go through the settings of this app and try to get them activated. Ask the reseller how to activate if that is not written anywhere. If this is not possible: Send them back and get your money back.

Sorry, byt this is not correct. I 've tried everything, but the problem is not the avtivation of the sensors. The usb receiver can not be recognized by the HU. The app runs, you can choose the wheel sensor to connect, but nothing happens. The power light on the receiver flashes as before, and nothing more. Thanks anyway!

Installing DVB-T Television in generic Android Head Unit

I've been running around in circles for a few days now trying to install DVB-T television in my Range Rover. I have tried two different approaches and both have issues. According to the documentation which came with the stereo, the model number is JBY-xxxx and made by the Shenzen ECT Technology Company and the head unit is supposedly running Android 10.1
My first issue was connecting a DVB-T receiver box to the Aux audio and video inputs on the rear of the unit. When i switch to Aux input designed for TV and DVD units, the video works fine but there is no sound. After a couple of days looking for information, i came across a post where someone else had exactly the same issue and was told that the head unit no longer supported audio in on the Aux after Android 9.0, mine is 10.1.
So, i decided to add digital TV another way by using a DVB-T USB dongle and hit more snags. I tried numerous apps dowloaded from Play Store and none of them would work. One app called AerialTV which seemed to have the best rating and feedback came in two parts, the driver and the TV app itself. When i plug the TV stick in, the driver recognises the TV stick and confirms the drivers are now loaded, but when i run the TV app itself and do a station search, i get the message no stations found, check the aerial.
Now, the first receiver box picks up 91 TV stations and as many radio stations. I have verified there is audio coming out with a scope. I have also fed audio into the aux sockets from an MP3 player and no audio. The TV stick, in fact 3 different models all work fine plugged into the car TV antenna, which suggests again the head unit.
I've posted a pic of the stereo in case someone recognises the exact model.
I'm wondering if there is a different version of Android that would work here prior to Android 9.0 if thats the issue.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. TIA

saw a few posts here about that other people can't connect the device also, they don't mention the BT options, and I can't access to the dev options only the factory settings requierd password, the password 126. (8888 gives me options to change boot logo)
the only option that's works for me(was the defult one) to connect my phone and see it in the bt app is this: GOC_BC5_3008
In the other options I can't see my phone and OBD2 when I try to detect new bt device.
Someone with the same issue
Bluetooth connection issues
Having trouble with OBD dongle. Have installed 3 apps and although dongle will pair with head unit, the only option to select within apps says 'dummy FF:00:00:00:FF:FF'. This comes up even if dongle isn't plugged in but at the same time dongle...
forum.xda-developers.com
Which suggests its a issue with the unit.
You both look to have a PX5 (well maybe as you can never tell 100% with these units)

I tried this, saw the comments.
I can't change my BT password it's on auto option.
In other BT options in the factory settings I don't see on the bt app my phone or the OBD2, tried them all, some even crash the app.
tried to reset the bt and wifi settings but no change.
Post in the MCTD section, they are the maker. But the BT function is deliberately crippled in these units so finding a fix will be hard. I went FYT as the maker and can use OBD on BT and UsB.

sorry I don't know what FYT means.
The 2 major makers are FYT and MCTD, there are 100's of sellers but most are made by these 2 makers.

Looking at a Android headunit for a 2007 Porsche 911 Carrera S. Owtosin looks to be the ticket! Few questions before I order

Looking at the following unit from Aliexpress. Link to the unit on Aliexpresswhich is pretty well supported on Rennlist porsche forums Rennlist forum link
1. In real world usage, is there a huge difference between PX6 and Qualcomm 665? I know it's way more powerful but I am just using this for Waze, Spotify Android Auto, Rear view camera/DVR camera while driving.
2. This unit is more expensive than other similar units. It seems like it has overall better quality. Is it worth the 200$ premium vs other units? Other ones have the same porsche physical volume knobs and illuminated buttons etc. If you have any other units I should look at happy to have a look!
3. Are there any higher quality backup cameras or front cameras people can point me to?
4. Has anyone used Harry's lap timer with one of these devices and can comment on the functionality?
5. I am having a hard time understanding Wireless Android Auto. Do these come with Native wireless android Auto or is it even worth using?
6. Assuming I don't use android auto, each time I get into the car do I have to tether my phone to the device to have life traffic and spotify etc working? Not planning on getting a sim card for this.
7. Any comments on the call quality audio? Good working bluetooth phone calls are really important for me. Happy to pay extra for a good quality microphone if anyone has any reccomendations.
Thanks for all the help!
I don't know if you have pulled the handle on this, but let me give you my experince.
1. I have little idea. I do know that if you are running Android Auto (which it does well both wired and wireless) the major processor usage is on teh phone, not the head unit.
2. This unit seems very well made. Feels like quality to me. If you can afford a 997, you can afford $200 for the best unit.
3. The backup and fron camera are great. I fitted both. They are the drill and push fit ones.
4. No
5. Wired and wireless both work well.
6. Yes. However I got a $6 a month data sim from Tello and that works. I then run Life360 and I can track my 997 from my phone.
7. Voice quality is great even with the roof down. However I should note that I am using a Kenwood microphone that was already installed.
W.r.t Bluetooth, the unit does have an issue with connecting to some BT devices. It seems to be with low power LE devices like my Valentine1 radar detector or my OBDII transceiver. I confident this wouldn't apply to any phine, and I'd like to think this can be fixed. Seems to be an issue with several Chinese units.
One other comment. I dod something really stupid when installing and needed a part to fix it. Owtosin (Bob Luo) stepped up and got me running again. They seem to have great support.
