Buying advice/review site? - MTCD Android Head Units General

Hey folks,
I'm planning to replace my headunit - currently using a Pumpkin headunit (MTCE, KLD, 4GB RAM, octacore, Hal9k mod).
Before flipping through thousands of threads in the forum (as the search won't work for me too look for any existing threads, always something about "security error occured") I'd like to know if there are any good sites where current models are being evaluated/compared?
I don't give much care fore OEM function support (my car doesn't even have CAN-/LIN-Bus) however I'd like a headunit with "good" sound quality and the "standard" stuff (GPS, WiFi or built-in 4G module, bluetooth/hands free, steering wheel button support) and maybe a volume knob instead of 2 buttons.
Oh - definetly looking for universal 2din unit without an oversized screen or stuff as I like to keep it rather flush form-wise. (see pic)
As far as I understand the newer headunits with a PX6 board are superior to the px5 ones, despite having a hexacore only?
Anything else I should watch out for? Any "bad" manufactureres? Anything that stands out?
Best regards and thanks in advance!

Audi A4 Android unit feedback

Hello guys im creating this topic in order to find out more about this particular unit, ive already been searching the forum but i cant seem to find opinions on this unit.
Im thinking in buying this one instead of rns-e (original audi) because not only it is cheaper, but it also offers a lot more options since its an android unit. altough its a chinese unit and thats kinda what makes me get one foot behind this buy.. Is there anyone that has the same unit? or same hardware/software that could give me some positive/negative feedbacks?
The unit its this one.
http://www.ebay.de/itm/231594075480?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Quadcore 1.6
1024x screen
1gb ram
Heres a video of it working, appearance its similar, and hardware its the same i think
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF9926mKnt0&list=FL0fjzQevYQwqkfO7rEXATrQ&index=4
So opinions? Thanks!!
I have bought an android HU on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pumpkin-Bluetooth-Subwoofer-Steering-function/dp/B018LZI3OU/
Working perfect on my audi and the controls on the wheel are working fine (Volume, Mode, Seek...) DAB, Nice SatNav!!

Thanks in advance for your feedback mate.
Can you tell me if the screen is good against the sun light, even on full brightness? Can you actually read things there while theres light in it?
How about the sound quality? Bass?
Thanks!!!
Hi @Ezreal,
I have that one (manufacturer KGL) installed in my Exeo and it works pretty well, only thing I am missing is the radio station/song names and well, of course the navigation instructions in the FIS/DIS screen that you can get only with the RNS-E...
Everything is working fine and would recommend that 100%, although I think I remember the original radio sound better. But that was over 1 year ago when I had that.

Well thats my fear too, i know that the rns would sound a lot better than this one, but well its expensive, and old, its not even touchscreen, although its OEM and wont have problems with GPS/Sound quality..
Do you recomend giving like 360€ for a chinese radio?
RNS its like 550€ +.......
Depends on your needs... If you want to have your car full OEM, then for such a difference go for a RNS-E, but if you want to have all the possibilities that give you android, then China radio... You can install tomtom + all the apps from android for instance and is more customizable...
If you use the gps a lot, I would decide the China radio, if it is only to have MP3 + basic gps functionality + full integration then go for the original one. Your decision

The thing is. I would like to have a radio that could reproduce videos like concerts and stuff, and many more stuff.
The RNS wont read video files.. but has a really nice sound quality, which i dont know if the chinese radio has since its not OEM.
I have a radio 1 din on my A4 and has a really nice sound quality, and bass etc. Im afraid i will lose that quality if i go chinese radio and not OEM.. What do you think?

Then go for the Chinese one. RNS-E will not give you out of the box what you are willing to play.
Sound quality in the Chinese one I think can be improved via de equalizer just adjusting manually the values, but didn't tried yet several combinations. Anyway it is not bad quality sound not to choose that one because one because of that, but I think it is little bit below the standard radio. I may be wrong as it is just my point of view.

Ok i see, i never heard a chinese one playing thats why im questioning..
But how about gps for instance? Does it work well? Crashes? Bugs?
Video must be awesome to play it at night for the passengers and stuff...
Everything is working flawlessly, I am pretty happy with it, I have Malaysk rom and improves the device a lot.
Regarding music sound, I use the app "bass eq" and really notice the difference for better
Try Viper4Android!
Hi, I'm looking at getting one of these for my Audi A2. Currently the only option for the A2 is to purchase A4 RNS-E and modify it to fit the dash of the A2.
The question I have, which relates to your units, is that the Eirisn ES2028A states a resolution of 1024x600, and the pumpkin 11-C1220-UK-A states a resolution of 800x480.
Can anyone confirm if the Erisin does actually have a higher resolution screen, as I was on the understanding that they are all made by the same company (HuiFei), then distributed by different resellers (Pumpkin, Erisin, Eonon, Joying, etc).
Any help would be appreciated.

Well according to ebay, pumpkin is 800x, I think the others are all 1024x, but cant confirm 100%
Thank you for the quick reply.
Is it worth going for the higher resolution screen?
I've seen more info about Pumpkin versions than Erisin, so wasn't sure if it was worth going for the lower resolution screen and getting a possibly more robust headunit.
I'll keep an eye on the Erisin units then, unless the others update their screens.

Well i dont think its a huge diference between resolutions since the screen is only 7"..
If it was a TV i would go for higher resolution, but again, i can be wrong because i never saw both standing near me so i could test it.. I would wait for experts to come and take our doubts out..
But the price its kinda the same.. the 800 one its the same (sometimes bigger) than the 1024.. according to ebay..

In my A3, I have had to fade the sound mostly to the back and then crank up the volume a bit. With the addition of Viper4Android app, I have been able to make a pretty good sound stage... but the original Audi Concert audio system still sounded better IMO.

Yeah that's what I've done up to now, but the volume is turned up to 3/4 or higher now.. May just run new wires to the front door speakers and rear speakers, and do away with the factory amp.

For sure, it's nice to have another Audi on here with the same issues... my volume level is constantly up to about half (15) just to hear anything, then up to like 25 with the windows down and rolling.
Viper4Android installed, with the stock firmware EQ's basically all the way up and the "loud" setting on, has made a significant difference. I'm not sure why V4A says you don't have root... but I would reinstall it right after doing the root password and adb password in the system settings. I have constant root on the Malaysk ROM, so I am not sure.
I am also thinking about hitting up the guys on this website... http://enfigcarstereo.com/audi_radio_installation.html . They have all sorts of aftermarket gadgets for our Audi's that help overcome aftermarket stereo issues. I am looking at the "Enfig RWH-AUD2-HILO" as a possible solution for the low audio/factory amp problem.

Ok got Viper4android sorted !!! didn't know about the root password - Thanks for that !!
I also looked at the Enfig hilo adaptor aswell, but being in the UK - was looking for something closer to here to try, found a few that may do the same but may need buy two and tweak the connections (Phonocar 4/136 High Level Adaptor)
Thanks again !!

Audi A3 - Dynavin WIN-CE vs Android ? Feedback wanted

Hi guys,
right now i am using a dynavin d99 which works ok.
seeing all these great android head units i am actually thinking about selling my dynavin and buying one of these.
I have 3 head units i am interested in:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/XTRONS-Autor...465112?hash=item2a605f0018:g:LgYAAOSw--1WqcHn
http://www.ebay.de/itm/2015-Neu-And...578113?hash=item4885ed7941:g:cS0AAOSwLzdWRDB8
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-Android...del:A3&hash=item4af03f2cc2:g:fz0AAOSwf-VWapiR
the last one has a resolution of 1024x600 the other ones 800x480.
should i take the high resolution one or due to speed issues the low one?
Do the Android head units work without issues? Will they still be good use in 2-3 years or do i have to upgrade (because of newer android versions coming out every year)?
Can I somehow save the radio station names? I don't like to have the frequencies there I don't want to learn the frequencies
I read about a mic mod - will plugging an external mic be sufficient or do i have to do this mod? (looks a bit dangerous)
Do steering wheel buttons work?
Do they have DSP Chips?
which one of these 3 should I buy? the first two i guess are hui fei the last one i don't know but it also looks like hui fei
thanks for your help in advance

XTRONS TE706PL Android 8.0 4GB RAM maybe good?

Hey there.
Today I just wanted to buy an Ownice HU.
But then I found this XTRONS running Android 8.0 with a octa core and 4GB RAM.
Do you guys think it is worth a try or should i rather buy the Ownice?
Thanks for every answer

I can't say anything about Ownice but the Xtrons is definitely worth its money. I have had two Erisin's and a Pumpkin but the Xtrons is my first HU which is working without any issues.
The only thing with Android 8 is that it came out a few weeks ago so it could be still a little bit buggy.
Hello
Yes, on paper it seems perfect, I just have a doubt about the quality of the product, knowing that the audience shines by its absence.
I hope that the conflicts Wifi / Bluetooth are not identical to TB706APL, without reliable internet connection, this new product is useless.
I'm curious about the xtrons also. I was going to buy a joying but saw the xtrons has 4gb of ram. I have both a 2gb and 4gb tablet with similar cpu's, and the 4gb tablet is far faster and more stable than the other one.
I installed the 10.1 version in my truck on Saturday. The model TE103P. So far I am very happy with it. I just need to figure how to get my Bluetooth ODBII adapter working.
The performance so far is impressive. It turns on extremely fast and I like the UI for now. Compared to the Joying I had before, the performance seems better.

I just ordered the xtrons te706pl which shows px5 with 4gb ram and android 8.0. I got it off Amazon for $269.99 with free shipping. I was going to go with joying as it's seems to be the most popular company but 4gb vs 2gb is just to good to pass up. I have 2 tablets with the same Cpu, one has 2gb and the other is a 4gb. The 4gb is so much faster and more stable. 4gb just gives the tablet an easier time it seems.

Do you have any info, about what kind of amplifier Xtrons uses?
Written info is allover the place. Dasaita updated their hardware from TDA7851L to TDA7850, which is supposed to be better, but in their presentation graphics is still written TDA7851L. Since hardware between head units is practically the same, I assume XTRONS might use newer amplifier chip as well...Does anyone have a clue?
Which chipset us it actually? Looks nice, I'm thinking about replacement of a joying with 1 gb and kit Kat which has a really slow startup.

It's using the Rockchip octacore PX5 A 53 architecture 64 bit cpu and 4 gb DDR3 kingston memory.
It is also far way better than the Alwinne T8 which uses a A 7 architecture.

hello, I want to ask.. how good sound this new device?
because, I have read that sound sucks by older devices (joying, dasaita...)
Ive just got mine xtrons te706pl installed 3 days ago and it's doing great. The only problem I've had is getting logged out of spotify overnight. The install was a pain but I have a factory infinity system with amp. Overall I'm happy with the unit. It's pretty snappy and quick.
Hows the sound quality, any hissing sounds?
Sounds great but I already have a factory amp. But I think it sounds better than the factory stereo. I can't figure out how to root it though. Kingoroot doesn't work then I realized it's android 8.0 and might not be root able by it yet.
I was looking at this unit as well, does it have pre outs for front, rear, and sub? My current unit has a huge drop off in sound quality from youtube to pandora. I've asked about it and not found out if this is a common issue or not in the android units, but that is something that is a big turn off for me. I'm hoping the newer units have this fixed. also any quirks or anything else you've noticed about the unit? so far this one is on the top of my list of what i'll be purchasing next.
Hello
With a few days of use, what is your feedback experience.
Do you test the reliability of 3G or 4G internet connection, are there any cuts like on old units built with the PX5 card?
Is there still the bug that cuts the internet connection at each call reception due to a conflict between bluetooth and wifi?
Is there still an abominable echo during a phone conversation with the correspondent with bluetooth?
I read that it is possible to have two open applications with screen sharing, Waze example displayed on a half screen is it legible, street names ect ..
Thank you for your answers and sorry for the syntax because I use Google translation
cordially
I use my phone as a hotspot for my internet do I can't comment on 3g/4g. I did notice a horrible sound while im talking to someone though. It was a loud screeching noise throughout the call. I had no problem with either wifi or Bluetooth cutting out. I haven't tried to use split screen yet but I will and get back to you. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. It works very well.

The sound quality is so much better than the stock unit. The EQ does an amazing job of bringing out the sound. I haven't notice any difference in YouTube or spotify. I don't use pandora. One quirk is I had a horrible squeaking noise when I had a phone call. I haven't looked into that yet. The other is I can't figure out where the developer options are. I've went to about in settings and hit the model 7 times. The unit says options activated but still can't find it. I wanted to root the device but haven't been able to.

MTCD choice for Peugeot 308

Hi, i've found a lot of head units for a Peugeot 308 (year 2009). I need help to choise the "best one".

I want to buy a px5 with 4 gb of ram and android 8 (not 8,.)
Have anyone one of this model? How i can find the model of sound processor (like BD375xx) or internal amp (TDAxxxx) or problem with bluetooth and wifi poor reception an so on? How i can find the true productor (GA, KGL,MX ecc)?
Hi Capu81 !
I own a Peugeot 308 (2009) too, and I bought the Belsee BP3 one.
I clearly do not advise you to buy this unit as it has several issues :
- the fascia doesn't match the 308 color and round radius. The grey color is a bit darker and flatter than the original as you can see on the picture :
- the CANBUS adapter that Belsee provide is a bit messy. It seems to be made for the Peugeot 2008 and doesn't fit 100% (the trip and service km counters have issues). It is also not pre configured to fit the 308, you will have to play in the advanced settings to find the CANBUS profile that suits your car.
- the unit is delivered without external buzzer wich means that your rear parking sensors won't beep anymore
I don't know the other devices you mention.
Please let us know wich one you've chosen and how the installation is going.
I will be pleased to share my experience with yours and know what CANBUS settings fit your 308 the best.
Bye
Damien
Hi Capu81,
You can view my model in youtube clip.
I recommend buying the unit with the volume button at the bottom, it fits much better than my model. My unit works very well, bluetooth ok, Radio ok, gps great (Waze, Maps, Here Maps)
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/HIFI...p-cial-pour-Peugeot-408-2010/32855688443.html
https://youtu.be/D7T_R93Uwlo
Than you to all !
I'll buy this
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/HIFI..._expid=31b53a8f-29a2-4cea-9a05-00ef2b163d58-0
It looks really cool.
Please let us know when you receive and install it

Should I get an android-based unit?

A few days ago I posted this in general https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...android-auto-questions-specific-ones-t3894283 I got some answers but I have more research lead me here.
Specifically instead of going with pioneer with whatever software they are using I could instead use a fully android based unit that is self-dependant if need be and use headunitreloaded to serve my android-auto needs (I heavily prefer using my to choose locations or change the music or atleast pass it around if anyone wants to change the music) so I am here asking the pros, what do you guys recommend that I do? follow my original post? or this post? because pretty much what I want is to use android auto while i'm able to use my phone, listen to music and use the backup camera. (on that note, which cameras do you recommend that dont shine an LED when reversing)
I too am on the fence regarding purchasing an android powered head unit. but what makes me second guess my choices is poor build quality and software to boot.
any device you looking at in particular?
I'm not on the fence, I just need to find the right one to order
From what I gather we need something px5 if we want to load roms?
The 4 I've narrowed them down to are listed below along with a camera(not all mention PX5 though they may have it, all but 1 are 10.1 inches)-
Pumpkin: looks like they have good support, 7" screen $240

Joying: Company has been around awhile, but youtube is full of issues with this model priced at $370

T-One: Little to information on the net about the company, middle of the range price point at $310

Eonon: Cheapest at $225

Camera I've chosen: only 420tvl, look for one at 800tvl for best quality

Just letting you know the Eonon unit you linked does not have a PX5, it is a mediatek processor. Eonon GA2170 / GA2170B / GA2171S are current ones with PX5.

From what I gather we need something px5 if we want to load roms?
The 4 I've narrowed them down to are listed below along with a camera(not all mention PX5 though they may have it, all but 1 are 10.1 inches)-
Pumpkin: looks like they have good support, 7" screen $240

Joying: Company has been around awhile, but youtube is full of issues with this model priced at $370

T-One: Little to information on the net about the company, middle of the range price point at $310

Do you use HeadUnit Reloaded with your GA2171S?

Both are PX5, the 7inch you can find on ali express specifically mentions PX5 and the 10inch you can find here on xda https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...trons-unit-te103ap-android-8-4gb-ram-t3763542

No I don't, I run Hal9K 3.1.1 and FCC Car Launcher which does everything I need, so no need to use my phone for anything other than BT Calls

Can you please test to see if it works? using wifi direct (even better if you have OneUI on your note 8). if it does work I'm definitely getting one.

I tried this with Headunit Reloaded but couldn't get it to work using wifi - it complained of an IP issue. I'm not sure if it was just my unit as I have lots of customisations on mine. But I did get the USB connection working fine.
Am looking to get an Android HU too, totally newbie here.
Could someone please advice whether I need to go for the 8.0 or 8.1, and what is the minimum ram / rom and quad or octa core I should be getting?
