MTCB - and my 2009 Kia Spectra - MTCB Android Head Units Q&A

I just ran into these forums here and these devices.. but I'm having some trouble figuring things out.. I have an '09 Kia Spectra EX and would love to get something going with this. I can't find but one specific model/direct fit and it's pretty poor performance from what I can tell.. Is there universal that would allow me to do this and be fully functional? I don't have steering wheel controls ... Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
This is the first universal unit I've found..

[Q] Development request!?

Is there currently, could there be, or can someone port Android OS to a car stereo head unit, such as a Pioneer AVICz1, Kenwood DNX9980, or in my case (the cheap version), an Xtrons TD717? These are 2Din units with touch interfaces, bluetooth, possible network capabilities, audio/video functionality, and a processor of some sort. I would be VERY willing to donate to such a venture, especially in the case of my model head unit (Xtrons TD717), because I would just LOVE to have PowerAmp and Google Music playing on screen as an "integrated" function. If there is someone out there that would be willing to undertake such a task, because I have NO CLUE how, please let me know...and we can exchange ideas and functions/features desired.
p.s. I'm new and did look around for related topics, but if this isn't the place to post this, I'm sorry. Please "kindly" inform me otherwise.
It would be much simpler -and cheaper - to just buy an Android unit.

2015 Genesis Ultimate Android Auto/Apple Carplay mod?

This is an ongoing project over at Genesis Forums and we seem to have come to a halt. Posting here to see if anyone can give us a hand.
Some background. Those who have purchased the Ultimate package for the Hyundai Genesis/Genesis G80 did not get the AA/CP update. 2018+ models did get the update. All other trims also got the update across all years. Hyundai claims the hardware is not compatible but that doesn't seem to be the case. So far, we have dumps of the 2015-2017 and 2018+ headunits but have made little progress. The 2018 firmware boots in the 2015 hardware but there's no audio. Installing the 2018+ headunit into a 2015 vehicle gets the same results as they've updated the amplifier in 2018.
We think we should be able to start with the 2018+ firmware and reroute the audio to the 2015-2017 amplifier, we should be good.
Here's the disk image for the 2015 https://xtremission.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Hyundai+Genesis+Radio/2015+Genesis.zip
And the image for the 2018 https://xtremission.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Genesis+G80+Radio/2018Genesis.zip
Someone also found the source code for the system. It's built on Meego

We could definitely use the help as most of us over there aren't programmers... lol Some of us are but don't really have the time to put into it. I've been spending most of my time messing with Openpilot on the Genesis.
Hello.
I have been following the thread over on the Genesis forum and I wanted to share this post.
I was able to get CarPlay working in my Kia k900 using a third party kit. Maybe this is a avenue you might wish to take.

I've been looking for a way to run AA for far too long to quit now.
I have Zero knowledge when it comes to programming but would like to test and help however I can.
Is there a way to compile firmware with the old, amplifier-specific files?
Anybody tried swapping to the updated amplifier and see if it works?

AGL (Automotive Grade Linux)

Hi Everyone,
I have a Toyota Fortuner with a Fujitsu-Ten Entertainment system installed OEM.
After some poking and question asking, I worked out that the head unit is running AGL.
https://www.automotivelinux.org/
https://www.automotivelinux.org/
An operating system being supported by a large and growing number of car manufacturers who are aware of the dangers of using Google/Apple to power their entertainment systems and by the looks of things going to be building there own.
Subaru, Toyota, Ford are all releasing cars with head units running AGL
https://www.automotivelinux.org/about/members
As the source code the head units in the cars is available online, I was wondering if XDA-Developers forum might not be a possible home for people wanting to do similar things to their car head units to what they are doing to their cell phones.

Can't find anything else online except for the official sites.
Thanks

help choosing android radio for unusual use

Hello team, first of all forgive the translation I am French and my English levels poor and correct by a translator
i am looking for an android unit for a nissan xtrail from 2003
I am rather undecided concerning the choice, my preferences this relates to dasaita and xtrons for the moment. Clearly I need a split screen the main use will be a surveillance camera installed in a van for monitoring horses accompanied by gps, radio ... and a rear view camera
clearly the mediocre internet network at my place. so i need a good fm tuner so this is starting to have a problem.
I also need to keep the controls behind the wheel, but no canbus for my vehicle ...
I contacted xtron and dasaita, dasaita told me about the possibility of keeping the steering wheel controls with bluetooth ... I am puzzled.
I am also undecided between a 7 "or 10" screen for comfort during my use.
Pour l'instant je retient 3 modèle en 7"
-xtrons tq709ipl
-dasaita max6
and a less expensive model at a good price : xtrons te706pl
Sorry I can't post an external link
for the 10 "I have not yet looked.
clearly my use will not be standard on this type of car radio know why I allow myself to call on your experience in order to guide me in a choice for which I am completely blocked.
I thank all who will take the trouble to read this post and to respond to me in a friendly French friend.
Hi, do you installed the head unit? How was your experience?
We have dasaita px6, lots of issues and can't use it anymore!! Thinking to buy another new unit . Could you please tell me what brand is best!!
