Help Updating MTCD Auto Unit - MTCD Android Head Units Q&A

I just got a new car and I've been having issues getting the A-Media Auto 800X480 to play music from my phone over bluetooth
I was looking into the issue and It seems I need to update it but a bit out of my depth. Would appreciate link to tutorial and proper update if possible.
A-Media Auto (800X480 S)
MCU Version: MTCD_KBT_V1.96.1
Android Version: 5.1.1
Kernel Version: 3.0.101+
Build Number: rk3188-userdebug 16112016.19.02.08
CPU: ARM Cortex-A9 @1.6GHz
Thanks in Advance!

Your system is an EONON branded unit. I determined this based on the KBT in the MCU version. It's also running a very old Android version 5.1.1. So with that being said, I would suggest searching for updates for EONON branded units based on the rk3188 CPU.
All of this except the brand name was taken from the information you provided and I Google searched for MTCD_KBT for that detail. I'm sure there will be instructions included with the updates if you are successful at finding.
While I realize my suggestion isn't exactly an update, but maybe the information will help you in your search.

Thanks. I've reached out to them to see if they could provide firmware.

@fizgig804 thank you for posting good detail about your system. Good luck on locating updated firmware for your system. Be careful as some updates can be for specific screen resolutions and you will specifically need updates for 800x480 screen resolution.
@PoppaRoxie1986 good job dissecting the info and helping.

MTCD unit, a question about which ROM's I can use.

I have a MTCD unit from Erisin, info in attached pic.
I see threads like this one Factory firmware for RK3188 MTCD
with links to firmware, can I use these?
How do I identify which firmwares I can use.
What do the letters after the MTCD mean in the MCU version, my letters are "LM"
kind regards
You can flash any LM update
Sent from my SM-N920C using XDA-Developers mobile app
I was told you can flash any mtcd firmware, just don't flash the MCU if it's not for your version. But I haven't dare try it yet.

Hello,

MCU and PX3/5 are two different systems. You can only use MX MCU with the MCU, but you can flash the PX3 board with any ROM you like provided it's for your resolution and you have enough RAM, especially for ROMs based on Android 7/8. As far as I'm aware only upgrade to Android 7 if your PX3 has 2GB of RAM and Android 8 is only for PX5 units.
Plenty of custom ROMs for PX3 such as the Hal9k and Malaysk. Or you can always flash a PX3 ROM from another manufacturer, results may vary though.

Well. the model is PX3 meaning if I'm correct 4 cors, PX5 has 8? Sth like that. And the MCU version is MTCD_MX_xxxx. So From what U wrote, I can safely update that MX which came from PX5 modles?
Another one - If I use any custom ROM, does it also updates the MCU version? Or that is separate stuff?
Thanks for help!

PX3 is 4 core, PX5 is 8 core.
PX3 comes with either 1GB or 2GB of RAM. 5.1.1 runs fine with only 1GB of RAM. 7.1 should have at least 2GB of RAM.
PX5 comes with either 2GB or 4GB of RAM. They have been only 6.0 but 8.0 is now out for them, 2GB of RAM should be enough for 8.0.
MCU is a separate update file to the ROM. The ROM contains Android and the UI you see. The MCU is specific to the board in your radio and requires the correct file such as KGL, GS, MX. Some are interchangeable but it is strongly advised against using other MCUs unless you already have an issue with your current one that isn't resolved by the latest version.

Help on updating android headunit please.

Afternoon. I've been trying to look at update my software on my headunit but have realised i have no idea what im doing would appreciate any help that anyone can give and point me in the right direction of where to find the correct file to download onto a stick.
Model: px3 (1024x600 W)
Android Version: 7.1.2
MCU version: MTCE_XRC2_V2.84_1
If there is any other info of the unit that is required it can be provided.
Many thanks in advance
Updates get rolled out by OEM/Carrier if they deem it necessary. If you suspect you didn't automatically get it then request latest update from OEM/Carrier.
Sorry i forgot to mention in original post that its an aftermarket unit
Do you know which brand your head unit is?
I don't sorry dude. And the manual book just says android on it.
@mikeroyce Any luck finding the update? I also have the same unit.

Does anyone have a newer Firmware or MCU versions?

Does anyone have a newer Firmware or MCU versions for HZC,
above MTCE-HZC-V2.94bp from CS-X ?

I'm aware of a V3.30_a1, maybe someone can upload a backup from his device

A backup of MCU, how.
@marchnz no clue I thought it should be possible to do some kind of backup copy...
Any other solution? Should i give HA a try?
EDIT: Background, I want to update from Android 9 to Android 10 and install Hal9k. But what I did was to downgrade my V3.30_a1 to V2.94... Don't ask me why I thought it is higher that my previous version
If everything works for you, then I do not recommend crossing the MCU. Try to write to the seller, maybe your update will send you. You can find everything about Crossing MCUs here, if you don't find a suitable type of MCU, then you can lose more than you gain. I recommend using the search engine and you will find a few HZC users:

Problem with mcu update on android radio

Hi, I have a problem with mcu update in android radio, namely yes:
- radio is eonon d5103
- I can't find the update files anywhere, because there are some "specific"
- the mcu bone from what I read is stm32f101
- blue screen saying "mcu upgrade process began..."
i'm counting on your help, and a picture of what is displayed i'm posting below
Is it MTCD type unit, I think not and posted in wrong g forum, but post mcu version from Android system information
eonon d5103 is made up model name, no one will know what that is
