What's the best MTCB unit for a Volkswagen (RNS510 replacement)? - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

I've joined the Android HU community earlier this year when I bought a 1GB MTCD rk3188 (Eonon) device. Needles to say, even with microG and reflashing everything, I am experiencing buyer's remorse. I even found myself going back to RNS510 every other week.
With the first purchase going awry, I am now turning to the MTCB part of this community to hopefully find a more flushed out product. Preferably something that runs KitKat and has 2GB ram for the future. The ability to playback h.265/h.264 would be great as well. My current VW OEM unit's design is this:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
. At the risk of sounding obvious, it matches the VW design well so I'm trying to pick my second Android HU to kind of have the same aesthetic.
Do you have any recommendations? What's the best MTCB device out there now generally speaking?
Thanks.

I will say this: SKANDINAV CAR ANDROID CARPLAY OS LTE GPS NAVI RADIO DAB + For VW vehicles

What was the problem with the first Android HU you bought? The make of an Android HU is not so important as long as you buy a model for which you can install an alternative firmware . I have this one in my Skoda car (same as Volkswagen): http://xtrons.com/pb86unvp-8-hd-dig...yer-custom-fit-for-volkswagen-seat-skoda.html and I am satisfied because I am using the MTCD Firmware from Malaysk which you can find here in the forum.

$100 if someone can put WM6 on this phone

I am looking for a total guru to help me put WM6 on this phone, it is not made by HTC. I would pay even more if the WM6 had my own splash images on it. This is not a hobby thing and I have real money to pay for someone who can help me out, it would not be a one time thing either I would have other things to do down the road. [email protected] if your interested or reply here. You can be anywhere, Russia to China. I am in USA.

Model?????
$300 n ill put that on there for ya
Your device description is incredibly vague. Are we supposed to guess what it is and hope it works?
--James
Oh man, isn't this a device made in China? I saw similar devices here in China. But surprisingly the price of the device is little more than 100$. Besides the specs are somewhat far from promising. I prefer to spend another 100$ to buy one of these devices for which WM6 is available in one way or the other: xda stealth, Imate pdal, imate jaq3. Just a suggestion and not meant to disappoint you.
word, you may want to just upgrade
That phone is not running a Window OS in the first place.

It does come with WM5 for PPC. I saw totally similar devices only with different brandings. Also they are cheaper than other known WM devices. Have no idea if those devices are licensed by M$ or just a product of reverse-engineering.
that is a chinese phone
and no windows ce 4 it at all
they fake mobiles as if they are windows based and they write windows mobile on their covers
but for truth they r not
there won t be a wm6 for it at all
more screenshots here: http://www.m8cool.com/mobile/1/632/4113.html
the price is 1420 RMB, so it is less than 200$. i think it really is a WM device.
and a different one with price about 120$: http://auction1.taobao.com/auction/...88c75d2e6f9cf9f8e.jhtml?from_item_detail=true
such devices have popped up suddenly in the market in bulk and i wonder whether it is due to the popularity of WM or to the ability of the reverse engineers.

[Q] bluetooth hands free and audio receiver

hi. first of all i've read the forum rules about questions but i'm still not sure if i should post here or in q&a since this is both a question and it's related to accessories. if this is the wrong section please move the thread.
anyway i'm going to buy a bluetooth hands free for my car to replace my old headset. since i always listen to music from my phone when in my car i was thinking about buying an hands free that also supports a2dp. i searched for some time both here in xda and on the internet but i'm still not sure what to buy.
firt of all a list of what i'm pretty sure i will or will not need on it:
integrated microphone, possibly with noise cancellation or a mic in connector or something similar, anyway i prefere not to use the phone mic
integrated speaker is not needed at all, i plan to use it only with the car speakers
keys for music control on the receiver are not needed
integrated voice controls or any other integrated function are not needed at all, i prefere to use the phone functions directly
now a list what i'm not sure about.
first of all is bluetooth 4.0 needed? i heard that if both the phone and the receiver have bt 4.0 i will have better audio quality and less battery drain, is it true?
i'm not sure about what i prefere about the internal battery and the cables. i prefere to have less cables as possible, but usually this kind of decives have unified cables only if the cable is built in both in the device and in the car charger. also they usually don't have internal battery. even if i don't think to use it outside my car i don't like the idea to have fixed cables. also an integrated battery will allow me to use it even if the engine is stopped.
i had tons of other questions before starting to write this post but now i forgot most of them, anyway i will update the post as soon as i remember them, in the meantime can you post both suggestions about my doubts and product suggestions?
anyway at the moment my best choices are:
GOgroove SMARTmini AUX

Dasaita 10 PX5 Coreboard not booting

Hi,
I have a 10" 1-DIN Headunit with a PX5 Board from AndroidAutoShop. The headunit doesnt boot, only the buttons on the Touchscreen blinking one time, when power on.
It is 5 months old and AAS isnt replying the mails becaus of warranty.
I bought a Coreboard to check, if the px5 coreboard is the failed part.
In the headunit there is a hct-px5-rev 10(lpddr) and my spare part is a hct-px5-rev 4.0
the rev 4.0 has 4 pins missing. is it compatible or not?

Yes, compatible.
Hello,
I have a Dasaita px5. I have a set of head rest monitors and wanted to know if there are any options on connecting the headrests to the headunit. The manufacturer simply told me to upgrade to px6. I bought this unit 7 months prior to the release of px6, so I'm not trying to upgrade just yet. Any suggestions would be awesome.

You might be best to not hijack a thread that has little relation to your question and post in q&a.

I replace the Coreboard and install Hal9k V4.0.2.
It is working, but there is no Sound from Mediaplayer, Radio, Spotify.
The key sounds are working with the speaker, but no music.
Is there a trick to activate the Sound?

Sygav PX6 RK3399 Android Head Unit blackscreen help!

Just got a PX6 RK3399 Android 10.0 Headunit, when left unplugged from the car for a while of time it will turn on and work correctly, but then goes back to the black screen after a reboot. By black screen, I mean the main display has no picture yet the backlight works. The buttons still make a beep sound but there is no sound otherwise when it's like this. I was able to see the head unit and touch screen still functions by plugging a monitor into the hdmi out on the stereo. I've tried factory resetting and used the RST button to get into recovery mode. The display is still black when in recovery mode.

The chinese support people have just told me a bunch of bull**** like "Have you rebooted the device?" or have I made sure it's plugged in.
Any help would be greatly appriciated. Also depending on if there is no fix. Is this a common issue with the PX6/PX systems? Would it be a bad idea to return it and buy another PX6 just from a different brand?
Another weird thing, it says Android 11 in the settings/about on the device.
Typical poor QA. Send it back/dispute.
Is not common...A Dasaita guy has the same.issue like you.... Could be hardware issue?
Did you make an upgrade of the MCU before getting the black screen?
If no display is very difficult to go to solutions...
Happened to me. I pulled the fuse for a few seconds and reinserted it. The screen came back to life and I haven't had a repeat occurrence in several months
@Tommy141x A couple questions for you, how long have you had this unit? Did you run the brightness at 100% when screen was working?
Considering your post was from March, I presume you've had the unit past the return period. There is a known issue with SYGAV and Dasaita with the TFT board if you run brightness at 100%. I would think that SYGAV would send you a replacement TFT board if you still have this unit and still have problems. I had a similar issue with a Dasaita unit and they sent me a replacement TFT board and that fixed the issue.
