Hi Guys and Girls,
So I've just bought a 2010 Ford Focus and purchased a radio from the good old gumtree out of a salvage motor, mondeo I believe as it came with a mondeo labeled canbus decoder.
The radio is brilliant just a tad slow as it only has 1GB of RAM im guessing.
I've attached a few pictures of the unit and it's specs and software versions from the about page and wondered if anyone could fully identify it and point me in the direction of any custom ROMS or updates that might enhance the performance/sound of the device?
Many thanks!
Dan

Its a px3 device. Maybe the best you could do is change the coreboard for a px5 or px30 if possible. 1gb ram is really limiting and the px3 is maybe 5 years old and not that powerful.
You can try roms for px3, but don't expect miracles.
Would it be as simple as just ordering a px5 or px30 board and it working after installing it?(I've looked this up before) also should I opt for one with android 9 installed as I don't want Bluetooth compatibility issues which I've read are with android 10 if i remember correctly?
@pythoner Could you also please point me to where I could find a suitable coreboard for my device as a lot of them on aliexpress state that some will not support the current bluetooth or WiFi device I have installed?
Many thanks!
@pythoner
I have also discovered my device has the MD725 Bluetooth module installed and would this work or could I find a PX5 coreboard and downgrade its android version to say 7 for it to work again as I don't want to lose this functionality.
Thanks
Depends what type of MD725 it is and what Android version you use.
I'm unsure as to which version it is as it's current installed in my car? Would I have to take it out and open it up to find out? Also the android version is 7. Many thanks @typos1
Yes, I know you have Android 7. No opening required - install a terminal and type : getprop bt.md725.type and press return/enter, if its type 1 it works with Android 8 and 9, if its type 2 it wont.
Its very rare to have a 1Gb RAM version of a Nougat RK3188/PX3 SoM, someone may have even installed Nougat on an old RK3188/PX3 Lollipop 1Gb RAM SoM, but the usual 2Gb RAM Nougat RK3188/PX3 SoMs are not slow (theyre not exactly really fast but theyre perfectly useable), so if you can get hold of one of them its worth considering.

Aliexpress has px30 and px5 coreboards. But if you consider that, please open the unit before buying something to make sure that it fits.

I need some help with my first Android radio buy, so i ask my question here.
Want to buy this Fongent PX6 (RK3399) 4GB/64GB universal 2 DIN unit, Its got everything i want including all the connections i need.
Its was not my first pick, as i was looking for one of the more common mentioned units that i fount after my primarily research, but this unit got all that i need and is reasonable cheap, and got 5x USB, a plus but not a must, if there are reasons i should not get this unit.
These are all the parts i wane buy for the build, maybe there are some comments on the parts i picked.
(This are the parts listed in the link above, but the link dose not work all the time.)
Head Unit.
Unit bezel.
1080p DVR 2x.
back up camera. (Met Dynamic Trajectory lines)
DAB+
TPMS. (tire pressure sensors)
USB panel socket.
beckup camera power filter. (for €2 why not)
Panel removal set.

And these are the units connections.
The questions i am left with after 2 weekends research:
Do you have normally root access to these units, at minimum wane install a firewall, but a upgrade path would be nice.
Can you install different ROMs?
Unit comes with a Toyota cable set, are these standard connections for all normal Toyota models. (Have a Avensis 2007 / model type T25)
Can i keep using the controls on the wheel, or do i need a extra box?
Can you record 2 USB DVR streams at the same time on the unit? (would be nice extra)
Are the USB DAB+ dongles similar in quality, or is it, you get what you pay for.
Lots of questions, but Android car is not your standard PnP drop in unit.
Any questions people can help me with would be appreciated, greetings Michael
Is it possible to ID an FYT UIS7862 by appearance?
Just wondering if this is an FYT unit (the 3G and higher). https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10000399588630.html
Will the difference between 3G and 4G RAM be noticeable?
Also gadgetversus says antutu benchmark # is 87k, but I saw an aliexpress ad (didn't make note of where) that says UIS7862 benchmarks 181k. Which is correct?
Those do look like FYT units as described by the seller.
get 4G RAM for future proofing, also because you double the storage to 64GB (for more apps).
I wouldn't trust AliExpress ads as far as I can ship them (from China).

I am not sure whether this is a FYT. Some screens lok like it. Others not at all.
Ask the reseller
I responded based on this chart:

According to seller, they are.
I don't really think I'll need a lot of apps on it. Probably just a navigation app (was thinking Google Maps) and alternate music app if the built-in one doesn't have any nice visualizations. I just don't want it to feel laggy and sluggish. I don't drive but maybe 500-miles a year since I work from home and have reserved a new vehicle, so I don't feel like I need anything really nice since this is just to tide me over (which might be a year or two).
How would a UIS7862 with 3GB RAM compare to a PX6 with 4GB? They're close in price.
Ask for screenshots of system information and MCU type

Good idea. The seller sent me a screenshot that shows it's definitely FYT, but it's the 9" or 10" version. I'm actually interested in the 7" version.

You need to select a different Peugeot model within the settings and experiment which works best. I have a 308 (2009) and for me the best is the 408 model, even though there is a 308, it's not great.
Tried all settings and still the same problem
I tried to change the can bus and bought 3 types of rzc - xp - hiworld and it still not works
I tried to install the old radio to make sure that the multimedia is working and really working
So far I have not been able to find a solution to the problem, and the strange thing is that it was working at the beginning of my purchase of the device and stopped working two days later
@surfer63 I hope you will find a solution to this problem

No, I don't have one. CANbuses per car are really specific, there is no general approach here (and I have a Skoda Octavia, a VAG type car, which is not even close to your PSA concern car)
Thank you for your reply
Do you think that the problem could be in the device’s software and are there ways to find out the main cause?
Have you solved your problem? My issue is that since installing my new Xtrons unit I am receiving multiple Can Bus errors in my van itself. They seem random but I have read that wiring issues in the head unit can short the CAN creating systemwide errors. My plan is to test bypassing the CAN BUS entirely for now.
Hi all
I have a Chinese head unit fitted in a hyundai i10, a direct replacement for the original radio.
Anyway, there was a system update, px5, I downloaded it over the Internet and installed it.
Now everything is huge, the screen is a bluey purple and I can't do anything with it. Seems the resolution is wrong?
I would do a factory reset , but can't see anything.
This what's on the back of it
Px5
Jpx53p0byz serial number
1.5ghz
4gb
Cpu
Android10
8× arm cortex A53 @1.5ghz
I have had it into an audio radio shop today, he says he has emailed someone in china to see if there is something they can suggest.
is there a fix or is it binned?
Does this help?

You need to look in the about device section in the settings on your head unit and find the MCU.
I think a PX5 can also be an MTCD device? but check your MCU anyway.
I can't, everything is massive and I can't see the screen

And from where did you download the update? That's also an indication for your type of unit.
And what is the resolution of your unit and for which resolution was your upgrade?
It popped up on the unit itself so I installed it just as I would with my phone

That means that it is an OTA update. That is not supported by older FYT units like your PX5.
That means that your unit is not a FYT unit but most likely a MTCD unit.
Not much expertise here in the FYT forum apart from a few who switched from MTC to FYT. I will ask the moderators to move this thread to the MTCx forum. Hopefully they can help you.
Thanks
If you don't know what MCU you have, it's hard to advise. If you have an HDMI output, connect it to the monitor and find out what MCU you have. Sometimes there is a Mini HDMI on the processor board, but you have to disassemble the device or take a picture of the label on the processor board.

Hi, I have a Joying 10.1" SKU JY-UQS10N4G-H which is running android 12, my problem is certain Bluetooth devices just won't connect to it, there are obviously some restrictions made by Joying, would any of you knowledgeable people here know why this is and any way to make the connection?
Are there any workarounds for this model? Is there an app that would allow me to create a widget for system Bluetooth settings?
Wrong forum apparently, so mods can you please delete this one, thanks!

Read the thread "Does Bluetooth only reconnect to the last device used?"
It will give you the info you want.
Well, it seems I can't do right, first I post in the Android general head unit section, then I am told that it's the wrong section, so I am pointed here so made the posts here, and I also asked if a mod could delete the old posts, as I couldn't see a way? But nobody has, and now I am wrong to do this!
Having read through the "Does Bluetooth only reconnect to the last device used?" I can't see anything that relates to the Joying units, they are known to cripple Bluetooth, so only selected devices are recognised, my unit runs the latest firmware and I have now been able to change any BT setting with apps that are supposed to give access?
Thank you!

Then you should read more . All Joying, Mekede/NaviFly, T'eyes , Atoto (some) and many more units are FYT units. They all behave the same. So yes, it also relate to the Joying units.
What about topway ts10 model, is that FYT?

Nope.
Topway/TS are other manufacturers of similar units with the exact same ums512 7862 SoC.
They use very different firmware to FYT and are not compatible at all.
