Just bought and installed this 2-DIN headunit! So awesome to finally have Android in the dash. So far it seems great.
LIKES:
Multi-touch is a nice touch
Able to install my own apks without connecting to the Play Store
Finally get to use Live Wallpapers without worrying about battery drain
Customizability
Built in fan
DISLIKES:
Start up time kinda sucks
Wifi seems to trip out when downloading via phone tether
Ipod icon in the dock (how clueless is that?? Android and Apple aren't friends)
*Actually to be honest, I kinda understand it. A lot of people use their ipods/iphones to listen to their music. My major gripe about this though is that- I CAN'T GET RID OF IT! I don't want an Ipod app on my Android. I would like to figure out how to get rid of it. I'd much rather put my bluetooth icon in the doc.
So far I've installed Skype, Space Colony Live Wallpaper, Maps With Me, and RecForge Lite. I haven't tried TB or Root Explorer yet, as I don't have root access (yet!). It comes preinstalled with Gmail, Email, Angry Birds Rio, Radio (the FM Radio app), EZ File Explorer and several other apps. It runs really smooth for the most part.
Anyone else have this unit yet? Anyone tried rooting it yet? Please share your experience in this thread.
Just for reference, the stock system versions are as follows:
CPU Information
Freescale i.MX53
RAM Information
512M DDR3 800
Android Version
2.3.7
MCU Version
2.10.9-1-10-1
System Version
2.20.21
DVD Version
2.13.11-1200wb
What is interesting is I was able to access my root directory and files without rooting my device. However, when I checked with Root Checker Basic, it said my device was not rooted. And I'm unable to mount R/W. I was able to copy the system/app folder with no problem though. Is this typical of non-rooted devices?

So far I'm pretty happy with it. The start-up time is a little slow, but other than that, it does pretty much everything I want it to do. I was able to install a different launcher that's more customizable and more to my taste. I've been able to connect to internet and Gmail and the playstore without any problem. I haven't had any problem installing apps (except for when I was intentionally trying to install apps that I knew wouldn't work... ie. Samsung apps). No major complaints. Overall a great purchase!

When you say start up time, do you need to shut the device off when u leave the car, or can you put it in stand by mode?

Yup, it shuts down everytime you take the key out of the ignition. There is no standby or hibernate mode.
I just purchased this unit off Newegg and I'm really looking forward to seeing what it can do. I was curious if you ever got root access worked out? I would love to see this get some more attention from devs and really show what android in-dash is capable of!

Got mine installed few days ago. So far so good. Boot time is around 45sec, not a really big problem for me as i do drive more then one min every trip. The default audio player sucks. The unit always runs the default player automatically at the beginning. Every time you have to stop the music b4 you switch to other player. Kinda annoying.
question
I bought the same model XTRONS. I have a question I have downloaded the launcher? Is there any other Bluetooth dial? Because the original is dramatic.

Hi! I am used XTRONS model TDA-610A. The characteristics of 620 similar to 610. Then you can refer to the section "OUKU - Unbranded 6.2" 2 DIN Android Car Stereo Radio Head UNIT "These receivers are the same.
Hi
anyone manage to update firmware or root this unit? thinking of getting one.
Hello,
maybe somebody can help me.
To the radio:
PX6, Hal9k v4.0.2 Android 9, DSP, MCU GS 3.40, 9 inch in the BMW e46
Following problem:
Launcher and apps do not run smoothly.
Tried solutions:
New motherboard installed
New coreboard installed
New firmware installed
New Hal9k v4.0.2 installed
Problem still exists.
I have the same issue. especially with google maps. it's laggy; typing feels like using my old 'Galaxy S'.

That's right.
I also see this especially with the I-Bus App.
But only as soon as graphics are in play.
Also in the normal launcher.
But as soon as you are in the settings, everything goes smoothly.
As soon as a graphic is shown again, it stops again.
I have the same issue too. is there any solution?
problem in the Google app. Turn the Google app back to the old version. don't update again.

the px6 has Dual cortex-a72 + Quad cortex-a53 on it´s Board.
This is a Chipset introduced in 2016. Antutu Benchmark should be around 70k - 80k Points. This is very slow, so i think it´s would be Time for Chinese Factorys building new Android Radios with newer Chipsets...
A fix:
Maps is a notoriously heavy app. But the reason it lags on px6 is more than that alone. You can make it nearly lag-free through 2 changes:
1. Use the 32-bit (armeabi-v7a) nodpi apk. The rk3399 supports 64 bit (arm64-v8a) but it runs substantially slower to the 32-bit of the same release for some reason.
2. Downgrade a bit. How much you're willing to Downgrade is dependent on your preference, but the older releases all still work. Unfortunately I like the new versions more so I only rolled back to 10.55.2, but even that alone was a significant improvement over the latest release.
I'm disappointed that this is a problem when my $100 Umidigi phone can run maps more smoothly that the $350 head unit, but these two options make it good enough.
Also a note for Spotify PX6 users: use Tasker/Automate to emulate a touch on the album art every time the app is started to effectively start it in player mode instead of browsing.

No issue with maps on PX5 with sink/fan on Hal3/ Android 8.1, torque and Spotify all running. Have you checked for CPU thermal throttling?
Also, I have kernel auditior setting performance governor at boot.
I factory reset my head unit some pre-installed apps got re-installed but zlink got deleted. I can't reach the seller. I've tried many apk files from this forum, non of them works for me. I need help if I can get back zlink installed. Also, if I can use both android auto and carplay. The seller told me the head unit support both. But zlink I had installed support only carplay. I have attached the version no along with MCU.
I believe head unit would need a different Bluetooth module as most if not nearly all devices don't support the Android wireless zlink.
And for your main problem install a custom rom and you should get the zlink back (wired only for android also remember if the device doesn't work look for another USB port on headunit)

No problem if it's wired, no need to be wireless.
Is there any instructions on how to install custom rom? And how to download rom that works with my head unit?
Search the fourms for you mcu file
Klyde PX4 | PX5 | PX6 head units with MCU CSN2 | CSN2_D | CSN2_8600_D (Android 8/9/10
This thread relates to MCU: CSN2_xxxxx, CSN2_D_xxxxx and CSN2_8600_D_xxxxx for PX4, PX5 and PX6 platforms This thread is a mirror of russian 4pda to cover more users/developers. All units are made by Klyde, but are sold under different brands...
forum.xda-developers.com
First one I found but instructions are on first page
Usually a sd card slot (might have to take display off the head units metal casing )
File usually is renamed to Update.zip
Go to recovery mode
And use the update option.
You would search csn2_D should probably have more roms read to be downloaded

I have tried but when I get to recovery menu I get the error unable to open. I've attached picture. I have tried both names "kupdate.zip" and "update.zip"
-kupdate.zip name will pop an update msg. I press OK and restart into recovery mode with same error in picture
Try another usb plug in?
Try to located a sd card slot
Sorry I'm not much help I own a mtcd - psd version from Idoing.
I'll see if I cannot find better info

You may also try to find stock firmware via the tools thread I posted on this fourm
So far what I'm seeing is you need to
Rename file
Update.zip kupdate.zip or update2.zip
The usb or sd card needs to be formated to fat32
You have to use a "main usb" (My device came with two additional usb ports and one for connecting stock my stock one won't work but the included ones will.) My device also has a "hidden sd card reader located behind the screen with all the hardware"
The upgrade might only work for updates (so if 9 roms with 9 or 10 will work, if 10 only roms with 10 will work.)
I'd suggest reading the post #5 with the link I posted.
I cannot confirm if it will work or not
I'd also suggest searching for your device for more info
I've tried some roms which failed to install
I've also tried different usb ports which have failed
It's unfortunate it's a guessing game as there are way to many px4 px5 px6 alternatives

Thank you for these informations. I've managed to install the latest version and MCU. The USB stick wasn't on FAT32, but it's updated now.
Moreover, zlink is not installed with the custom ROM. After the first use, it installed like 7 apps but zlink isn't.

Idk it's a built in app in most mcu roms the apps won't work if installed via 3rd party they always ask for verification
I hope if there is any way to install it back

Yes, purchase a genuine Android audio unit and give up expecting Chinese origin junk will work according to claims, which is NOT Android auto.
Stop using these forums as support for unsupported gear, unless you want to put the effort in to resolve problems

Android Auto works with hundreds of vehicles and aftermarket stereos. Check your compatibility here.

Dude, calm down. My car model is not compatible in the link you provided which I have checked 3 years ago. The dealer couldn't even support me because my car is 2014. Android is supported for 2015+ of my car.
I have bought kenwood stereo that cost a lot and didn't fit without aftermarket frame that looked so cheap and noisy when installed. Nothing fit the original frame except this chinese junk. So either be helpful or stop wasting your and my time.

Just hoping to clarify that zlink link users will forever be wanting updates as google/manufacturer releases updates - resulting in posting here (there are multiple threads in these forums for the same issue).
Perhaps consider headunit reloaded.

maybe you can try activated carplay on system settings. after restart, zlink will appear.
Hi guys, i'm a little confused and between 2 minds on my joying headunit. I've been running the android 10 unit for quite some time now (https://www.joyingauto.com/joying-9...-android-10-0-car-autoradio-ips-1280x720.html) and generally really like the spec, features and responsiveness. However there seems to be a lot of different ways of using it. And i can't quite decide what would be the 'best' way.
1. I can use the unit natively, by installing the apps like waze, spotify, etc directly to the headunits storage and either fitting a 4G data sim
2. I can use the unit natively, by installing the apps like waze, spotify, etc directly to the headunits storage and using my phone as a wifi hotspot and tethering the internet to it to keep everything running natively.
3. I can use Android Auto and mirror my phones apps to the headunit and use it that way.
Just looking for opinions and discussion around how peope are using there's and why? I use mine in configuration 2 above.
As a side note, i'd love to install a custom rom onto the unit rather than use joying's image but can imaging a 100 things would break and that i'd potentially brick the unit by just attempting it. Even their update process seems to be a blog post that says "Here's some links, if you not sure what to use, email us and we'll advise." But i don't trust that i'd get much support with a bricked or dodgy update. Thouhts?
I do 1 and 3 on mine, but with CarPplay.
Reason being: CarPlay nav is more "on the road friendly" in that the UI is designed to be used while moving.
Native functionality is good when I want the unit to do the stuff while I just BlueTooth sound from a different device.
My one issue is that if I have data turned on and enable CarPlay, my phone uses the head unit as a hotspot which isn't ideal.

I believe you mean FYT UIS7862 based unit. Joying is a made up brand.
3. Pseudo Android Auto- reality is it is a hack that will eventually frustrate as google and phone manufacturer release updates. These units are NOT Android Auto.
Re. Custom ROMs. None exist and are not needed.
so i recently picked up a maxpeedingrods head unit for my 03 accord and it's model and year specific to my car, its NOT the q96 unit. i havent really been able to find any way to update it to the latest android, however it says in the manual that it can run any android up to os12. my question is: can i somehow download hulu/netflix etc onto my head unit and make it work properly? currently it just says "this app is not compatible with your device" which im assuming is because its running a long gone version of android (i think 10). ive tried ripping an apk from the internet and loading it directly onto my head unit with a flash drive but it never seems to work. pls help im a noob
Is it MTCD type unit. Post Android system information including MCU version
