What does it take to support Glonass in Oreo 8.0 or 8.1? Is this a function of the ROM, or the MCU? My understanding is the SOM already supports it. Dasaita says their products support it. I wouldn't mind having better GPS accuracy. Currently without Glonass I am seeing reported accuracy in the 22-25 feet range. When I used a Joying Sofia it reported 8 feet.
I will answer my own question, the Dasaita ROM of 10/11/18 (approx) supports Glonass.
Sorry if this has been covered already, or if I'm posting in the wrong area.. my brain is melting do to information overload.
Long story short, questions after:
Currently running px3 1gb, 5.1, with bt/wifi issues. I had used a usb-ethernet dongle hooked up to a Asus 330GE portable router in bridge mode. BT Connected and fast network. Woot.
I'm going to be giving my car to my sister, but I feel like the px3/1gb would be dangerously slow. (Keeping android HU for the backup cam I have wired.)
Questions:
1a. There are no bt/wifi chips that can replace (soldering) the current chip to fix the wifi slowdown issue - correct?
1b. Disconnecting the internal module and using USB dongle = same issue - Correct?
1c. Is this because of a USB hub issue I think I read about?
1d. If you have a type2 md725 module, BT does not connect with 8.0 at all, but a type1 can be connected in order to use 8.0, with the wifi-slowdown-when-bt-connected issue persisting - correct?
1e. (bonus) Are there type1 md725 usb dongles?
2a. Do you think a px30 2/16 core board upgrade would be sufficient (not slow as molasses) for basic simultaneous navigation + a2dp/radio/internal player ? (leaving out the assumption that the bt/wifi issue would persist. Talking about system speed wise)
2b. Do you think it would be necessary to bump up to px5 4/32 for $50cad?
3. Why do some of the new DSP eq's show a frequency adjustment low of 25hz, and some 20hz?
4a. What's the deal with these Android GO 8.1/9.0 1gb/16gb units? (I doubt I'd go this route, but just curious.)
4b. Wondering if this 8.1/9.0 GO could be ported to older p3, or p5 2gb units?)
5a. Does the bt-connected-wifi-slowdown issue still remain with these newer p5 units?
5b. Is there a simple way to confirm this other than msging seller for usb hub/wifi/bt specs?
These seem to be the best prices I could find for possible solutions:
*$117ca px30 2/16 Witson coreboard
*$165ca px5 4/32Witson coreboard
*$275cad 4/32 without DSP
*$320cad 4/32 TDA7851 + ST7786
First choice, thinking of upgrading to the px5 4/32
Would like to save 50$ if possible by using a px30 2/16
Would like to save all the monies by somehow convincing humans greater than myself to port 8.1/9.0 GO over? (assuming this would be quick enough)
*!HeadEsplode!*
When I do get this sorted (new(to me) vehicle acquired, current vehicle to sister,) I will most likey be going the 4/32 px5 DSP route, or possibly px6. (or Intel?) (Headexplodeagain!)
Hoping someone out there can steer me right ...
PX6 upgrade
I have the same set of questions, but also would like to add PX6 board in the list. Does anyone tried upgrading PX3 to PX6 on MTCD board?

I'm not sure, but I found this on another thread:
" yes, you can use the updates listed as PX6 (as they show PX5 once you download them). "

I'm thinking yes. Have you seen any px6 coreboards for sale yet? Maybe there will be a group buy ..

Just to tag on and answer some of OP's questions as I'm in a similar situation:
1.d - You're correct (from all the reading I've done too). There's type 1 and type 2 MD725, with type 2 not working with android 8.0 due to driver issues.
1.e - There are usb dongles with Type 1: Comfast WU725B. This apparently solves people's issues.
2.a Although the PX30 should be better in terms of speed, I'm pretty sure you will still get a bit of lag with navigation (generally loading things up) but otherwise ok once running as long as there isn't too much running in the background. That is just an assumption as I don't have any experience with a PX30...but I do own a PX3 with 2GB RAM which is meant to be slightly worse than the PX30.
2.b. You'll be better off getting the PX5 if you're doing a coreboard upgrade anyway...I regret to not going the PX5 route from the beginning.
Now a question for everyone else:
I'm looking to upgrade my PX3 (2GB/32GB) with a PX5 coreboard. It appears only Rev8 PX5 Coreboards are available now which come with android 8.0 and the warning about Bluetooth and wireless potentially not working (which we know about MD725 type 1 and 2).
However my MTCE unit has Bluetooth module SD968 (with a separate wireless card) and I can't find any mention if I will have any problems if I upgrade the coreboard.
Does anyone know if the SD968 works fine with Android 8.0 PX5 coreboard?

Yes it does. That is the combo that i'm running in one of my radios.
Perfect! Thanks for confirming that. Guess there's nothing stopping me now, unless a PX6 board magically appears lol.
What do so have?
Hi there,
Sorry to open an old thread.
I have been reading up for ages but can't identify what MCU I have, is anyone able to tell me from the pictures or do I need to physically take it out and check?
Thanks.
anybody know where i can buy px5 or px6 core board? xtrons want to sell me the px5 4/32 for 150$! it is too expensive!
Hi, I have a px3 board with mtcd software and want to upgrade to px5. My board has a md725 Bluetooth chip installed so could anyone advise me on a suitable upgrade path as the 1gb of ram is killing me ha many thanks!

Hi, I have a px3 with md725 bluetooth on mtcd software. I would like to upgrade to a px5 board so could anyone point me to a listing which I can purchase from that will work? I dont want to lose any functionality of the Bluetooth/WiFi so I'm not bothered if it's running on android 8 or below or 9 if possible. Also should I upgrade to mtce first or after upgrade or does it not matter? Many thanks

First of all, sorry for my english, its not my first language
I bought a Android Radio but the it have only DAB and not DAB+
Is there a way to get DAB+ to work with an update or is there no way cuz the headunit have no chip installed which is needed for DAB+?
I always read DAB+ antenna for Android radio with Version 4.1 and up.
I have a USB DAB+ antenna but i wont find any channels except 5 but there is no sound if i try to listen to them.
Do i need a Update or should i return the DAB+ Antenna?

i bought a car from a 65 yr old man. he had no idea how to use the android head unit the radio shop installed The units from 2017. i’m not even sure there is a USB cable or if the people pulled it out not knowing what it was. I believe the manufactures Witson the specs and mcu info are as followed.
arm cortex A9 @1.6 ghz (4x).
2 gigs of ram..
px3 (1024x600 s).

what I would like to do is update the software on this unit because it still running android 7. I wanna see if I can get Apple CarPlay on this unit.. possibly wireless carplay since there is wifi and blue tooth on the unit. also if I can only get wired CarPlay where would be a good place to see if I can get a USB cable for this unit I don’t know if it’s a four or six pin usb In finding one online has been a little dicey having to go outside of Amazon. I’d love to hear what you guys do since this form is for the experts
I have a Dasaita PX6 head unit in my 2017 WRX, and the mic is picking up a ton of background noise, from what people on the other line tell me. I tried several mic apps and a 3.5mm wired mic but it still doesn't change the quality. I had this issue in my other aftermarket AA/CP head unit in my VW and assumed it was just because it was non-OEM. But after I did some research, I saw that people said that they had no issues with their mics in the PX6 series... Can someone give me any advice or directions?
Model - PX6 (1024x600)

Not Android Auto. Requested Moderator move to (MTCD) forum as MCU is MTCE.

I do have Xtrons PQS81UNV unit (PX6, Android 11, MTCH_GS_V3.80_3) and I bought external mic for it. I do not see any improvement when I connect external mic, so I do not use it at all. Internal unit mic is so good that I just wasted money on external 3.5mm mic.
I've tried using the internal mic on the face of the headunit, but it still sounds terrible...

As per hundreds of posts on this, disconnect internal.
