Thanx in advance

Android 5.1 runs with a PX3 core board.
To run Android 6 you need to upgrade your core board to a PX5.
It is extremely easy to do and the new core board comes with Android 6.0 preloaded.
You can search the internet for suitable suppliers, and also for fitting instructions. Cost will be about 80 GBP.

if you upgrading your core board from PX3 to PX5, might as well get one with Android 8.0 pre-installed.
you can get it Aliexpress and amazon?
unscrew 2 screw and remove the SOM board (PX3).
Install the new SOM board (PX5) and tighten the 2 screws

Absolutely correct, if you want Android 8 this is the way to go.
But, it brings with it a whole new story. For a start it is not as easy as previously to update your ROM and boards that have this upgrade to original PX3 machines can have problems with wi-fi and bluetooth connections. Read through the Android 8 forum to aquaint yourself.
On a side note, i upgraded from a PX3/5.1 machine and had no problems.

And now Im finilly find a brand and model seem fit on me, I find that a lot of OEM units are launch with he RK3188... But when I start looking info about these SOC, Just find not so much good info in how the SOC RK3188 works on Tablets... even some one had N90II Yuandao (RK3066), and must change to Vido N90FHD (97rq) (RK3188) and say its very bad 2d experience... say only good is see films... It's said Mali can't support big resolution....

Selling my MTCD Joying 8" 5.1.1 VW/Skoda

PX3 Quadcore 1.6 w/Android 5.1.1 (running Hal9K mod w/ Gapps)
Audio mod (swapped TDA7388 with Pioneer PA2030A)
Comes with 1GB RAM, but optional i have also: 2 x 1GB (IM8G16D3FBBG-15E) chips compatible for upgrading to 2GB, needs professional soldering.
details via PM.
Screenshot done while i was running Malaysk's ROM a while back...
Yes, it's the chassis with working cd/dvd player, before joying got hit on their head and started shipped same units without the drive inside...
didn't solder the 2GB chips yet because hal9k w/gapps is very fast compared to stock and therefore didn't need to upgrade to 2GB.
up
Selling is only allowed on xda ONLY if you use Swappa (its free), so I d remove these posts asap in case a mod sees it.
ok

Looking for a PX5 Board

Hi All,
Looking to buy a PX5 board to upgrade my HU as I'm wanting to eventually put Oreo on it. Any chance anyone has one their selling?
so you're looking for second hand? I don't think people would be selling as it's the best board you can have for a PX unit unless someone is selling the 2GB RAM only version and upgraded to the 4GB RAM version?
You can get a new board here http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/Ey3vfiy

I'm in the UK sadly, would probably cost a fair bit to post!
Im interested. How much?
I am looking at the "WITSON ANDROID 8.0 PX5 Octa-Core +4GB RAM +32GB Flash Coreboard For Android DVD (For Android 8.0 V5XXX only) " on Aliexpress.com.
Is this module usually a drop in replacement for the RK3188 MTCD units?

Difference px5 8core 4gb android 6.0/8.0

Hi, somebody knows if there is a hardware difference between units with px5 octacore and 4gb ram that have 6.0 and 8.0?
For example xtrons have 2 different number for this units (pb9690bpl (6.0) and pb9890bpl(8.0))
On most of the xtrons model numbers the fourth digit is the Android version.
Hence the 6 for the Android 6 version and the 8 for the Android 8 version.
Edit: On those the number before it is the screen size, 7, 8 etc
Ok, from tech spec. are looking the same..I ask if somebody knows some hardware difference..
I'm wondering how can I find out is head unit base on px3 or px5 platform? How can check this?

Flash/Re-install car stereo OS

Hello!
I have a 2din car stereo/dvd that I purshased from eBay.
My questions:
Is it possible to flash/reinstall the stereos OS with another? For example, replacing it with Android.
If possible, can I make it so my Factory BC still works? (info, date etc in my little dash screen)
It currently runs on WinCE 6.0 with 256mb RAM and 800Mhz Cortex A9 CPU
I can´t post links so if you want to see the product, search on eBay "DVD GPS sat nav for VAUXHALL Opel Corsa Astra Vectra Meriva Zafira Vivaro DAB+" and find the one running on Windows.
