Hey guys -
Updating a really old head unit (mtcb) that's starting to die - need help deciding:
Vanku 10.1" (PX5 based): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08D3DMC7Q : $279.54 USD (on prime day, usually $339.99)
Dasaita 10.2" (PX6 based) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VBBZFBG : $499 USD
Both have 4GB RAM / 64GB ROM
I'd like to have a front camera, and it seems like the dasaita already has that in the harness - also, I was hoping to have wireless android auto (the vanku says its cable only). Not sure its worth the extra $220 though. Any thoughts?
Here is my feedback, just in case :
The Dasaita official store on Aliexpress provides fast shipping and an excellent support, even several months after the purchase.
Usually they answer within 3h (depending their local time off course) .
I ordered mine on aliexpress and paid more because of taxes then it would have been on amazon
do both do wireless android auto?
I wanted to try AA on mine but once the headunit is customized it gets more efficient than AA so I never did. My phone shares 4g to the HU using a WiFi hotspot and the phone calls are streamed by Bluetooth. AA won't do it better.

It's an android head unit. Using AA on it is kind of useless and redundant.
PX6 is noticeably snappier

No, they run a hacky screen mirroring app.
Only certified devices are true Android Auto, these are a modified Android.

I have the Dasaita you listed and am no longer using it. Now using a 1DIN PX6 because it is custom for my vehicle and looks nicer. As for PX5 vs PX6, I think the PX6 gets better benchmarks. I had to add a fan in all cases. For example if one tries to copy a large amount of data externally (from USB, SD card, or wifi) to the internal sd, it fails without a fan. If interested in my "old" unit pm me.
Although this is just my opinion I spent a few months researching Android head unit and although dasaita seemed like one of the higher-end options the more digging I did the more problems I seen that people had whether it be flickering screen poor lighting large gap between screen and glass lots of issues with people having whining noise coming through their speakers bad compatibility with amplifiers however I have not owned one myself. Also from all the research I saw the px5 units are pretty slow I bought a px6 unit and I have never been disappointed with speed the one that I bought is a vanku but it is not the tenant it's just the double DIN 7-inch 4 gig 64 GB came with Android 10 and is easily rootable

Hello everyone, I just purchased this head unit for my 2015 toyota corolla, it was on sale for $350 a few days ago and I offered $325 and got it. I just decied to wing it since they include a 1 year warranty and if anything goes wrong, I'll just ship it back (shipping is not a problem since I get discounts from my employer) https://www.ebay.com/itm/2G-Ram-10-2-Android-7-1-Car-GPS-Navigation-for-Toyota-Corolla-Stereo-Headunit/253139409115?fits=Year%3A2015%7CModel%3ACorolla&hash=item3af048d8db:g:VVQAAOSwYVBZsNe5&vxp=mtr
I have a few questions:
-Is there a specific sub forum for these units?
-What are they categorized under? (By processor, brand,etc)
-Does anyone have any experience with these?
My needs are basic, I just want the factory backup camera and steering wheel controls to work (Which they do apparently). I plan to use a launcher(So far looked at Car Launcher and Auto Mate) + Spotify / Waze while driving. I have unlimited mobile hot spot on my Note 8 so internet won't be a problem.
Toyota also uses a plug in the dash that has both the USB and AUX ports on it with a wire that goes into the back of the OEM radio, I'm waiting to receive the unit to see if it retains these, if not its not a big deal.
Sorry for sounding like a total noob, its my first android HU
Thanks!

Once you receive it, you can check out it is px3 px5 or mtcd mtcb etc. That's how you find things related to your hardware. Dasaita is a brand that I see often so there must be a lot of information around
Hello,
The screen went out on my unit, and i just bought the PX5 board about 3 months ago. I ordered a full new 4gb unit. So I can sell this px5 board. Its octocore/2gb ram version. 32gb memory and running android 6. Would like around $60 shipped. Thanks!
hello is this board still available ? Is this an full board including screen headers and such? Could you send me an Image of it ?
I have been looking at getting this android 8 unit for my van. I would like to know if anyone has had experience with this brand (the seller is autostereo on aliexpress, although they seem to go by other names like zwnav ). This unit has a decent amout of reviews and the customer service so far has been very responsive.
The specs are:
MTCE based (px5), 4GB RAM, 32GB storage, and the manufacturer is KSP, which according to a thread I found means that it's made by Kasi Pu Technology Co.
The main thing I'm intersted in knowling is how the A2DP and build quality is.
I've included a picture of the radio the seller sent me. Any info will be appreciated.
Hi yys100,
if you still want some info, I installed an ZWNAV device from autostereo in my mazda 5 today.
They were very flexible with delivery and very responsive to any questions from me.
The device has the same specs you mentioned, it looks very good and it works without problems so far.
I do not use A2DP because I have a 64 GB sdcard installed with all my music
greetings
donny
Just be carefull with this seller on Aliexpress (ZWNAV), no support, fake product description, IPS screen mentionned whereas it is TFT screen!

I've ordered an octa-core board with 4Gb RAM and 32Gb storage.
Do they come with an OS already installed?
If they do, given I'm upgrading from 1Gb PX3 will I be alright sticking with the stock ROM? I'm assuming it's going to be way faster than the PX3 that's in it right now and I'm not that bothered about customisation. I only installed a custom ROM to get some speed improvements before.

Mine came with an OS but I upgraded right to 7.1.2 from 5 I believe.

I ordered it from Ali Express but it's going to take a while to be delivered from China to the UK so I can#'t say that it is working as I haven't got it yet.
I bought this one which should be fine:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Oct...D-Android-5-1-system-Upgrade/32865743307.html
So this arrived yesterday and I fitted it immediately. My only issue is that the connector on the GPS aerial was just slightly larger on the inside of the unit than the one on the PX3 board. I didn't have time to desolder the one offthe old board to swap it out so I've had to leave the DVD/CD Player out of the unit because the connector was in the way.
It's not a problem for me as I don't use CDs anyway.
Wow, it's a revelation. Totally different experience. I've now got auto-sleep which means almost instant restart, the external microphone appears to be working now and the speed is just fantastic compared to the PX3.
I'm not even going to need to put a custom ROM on as it's more than fast enough as it came.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing, since my head unit is painfully slow. But the link you pasted above seems to have lapsed. Did you buy from WITSON?
i.e. this one? alixepress.com /item/WITSON-PX3-Quad-Core-2GB-RAM-16GB-Flash-Coreboard-For-Android-DVD-Android-5-1-A5XXX/32820356300.html
(Darn site won't let me post URL until I'm out of probation!)
Thanks!
Does anyone want to buy a PX5 board?
I'd likely sell mine if someone was interested.

Is there a way to know for sure this will work in my Xtrons android px5 unit?
Which one should i choose ?

What are your criteria for choosing.
I want to run apple carplay on it and i need it to be somewhat reliable.
I had an old 2DIN xtrons unit with android that died and i don't think that big brands like Xtrrons/joying are much more reliable than others, but they have better cuatomer support.
I was looking for units with uis7862 chipset because i saw a lot of posts about them.I thought that 3-4gb of ram is enough for running carpaly around 2 years.
I was expecting good/bad feedback about these brands in general
All the FYT units come from the one factory, the seller defines any customisation usually via software so they all have the same FYT hardware reliability.
You gauge the support from the seller by looking at the Aliexpress reviews noting that they can be distorted.
Teyes probably have the best support but you pay for it in locked features and the highest price.
There are no Android 11 or 12 units, they are fake and Android 10.
If you want it for Carplay then you really only need a display unit not a fully functioning head unit. A lot cheaper and if it goes wrong buy another.

Avoid, buy a genuine apple carplay unit. These are not.
Refer genuine units here:
iOS - CarPlay - Available Models
Find out which car manufacturers currently offer, or are planning to introduce, models that support CarPlay.

Xtrons and joying are not real brands. They are resellers of various factories/manufacturers.
Good luck.

My car is from 2009 and i want to keep it for 2 more years.I don't think it's worth buying a genuine one that's around 1k second hand.

I agree. But if you insist on CarPlay or Android Auto and do not want to buy a 10.000+ euros/dollar car only for Carplay/AA, you better buy a cheap Android unit specifically designed for AA or CarPlay like a Podofo or a Carpuride (not FYT units).
The FYT units discussed here (7862/sc9853i and to lesser extend 8581) are high-performance units to be used as full Android units.
These Podofo and Carpuride units are low-performance units. They use more or less the same reverse-engineered Zlink/Carlink app, but are cheap.
And also for these units: Google and search Youtube.
