Xtrons 8 core model

Somebody already bought the new Xtrons 8 core android 6.0 model?
What is your experience with this model and Xtrons in general?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...x3-vs-px5-initial-impressions-issues-t3549946
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately worse than Ownice C500.
To bad because the front of the Xtrons seems "flush" with the metal housing, the front of the Ownice is sticking out
had it about a day

I got it off ebay, it was advertised to include a backup camera which it didn't include.
I don't like the lack of a physical volume control. Hoping I can find a steering wheel remote via bluetooth that mitigates that. Also no physical home button makes getting home a pain in the butt. I would like the option to remap power to home.
Data limiting options are not present, so the HU doesn't know that it's wifi is or is not metered. It would help given data is expensive in the US and I don't want it syncing spotify over my cell modem.
That's it so far.
Install is easy
Unit is clean.
It works as advertised.
Screen isn't great, but I don't think it is any worse than what's out there.

In my experience, avoid Xtrons.
You'll never get any proper support or updates from them.

Any time I've contacted them it's been a max 6hour wait time, they even sent me a new mcu & software update for my PX5 unit now. As well as for my older PX3 that I had.

That was my experience too. I had a wince unit that I needed the ROM for and after multiple emails with no resolution, I contacted the manufacturer of the unit directly who provided the correct file.

MTCD too MTCE?

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, i have tried to look through the hundreds of posts but cannot seem to find an answer ( cant see the wood for the trees).
Can i upgrade my MTCD_GS_v2.58_3 to the MTCE_GSv2.78? What is the difference between MTCD and MTCE?
Also what is the difference in the Under score last number? i see some are V2.58 and then there is V2.58_3.
lastly is there an Oreo * update for marshmallow 6.0.1.
my head unit is the 2gb/32gb px5 octacore
Thanks

Hi, did you ever found out? I have exactly the same question.
kind regards

MTCE is the latest version of MTCD so yes you can upgrade
Apparently, no one really knows about it
Cross compatibility thread. TLDR, MTCD=MTCE

Hi, I think that You can with no problem install this version here:
https: //yadi.sk /d/umCvHqCDzHccr/ RockChip %20PX5 %20%20 Android% 209/MX/ HCT4_PX5_9.0_OTA%20 (12.06.2019) (without spaces)
It is for MX radios, but installing it onto a GS radio shouldn't cause you any problem at all.
I have a GS radio which was mounting android 8, installed this version and everything goes smoothly.
This update apparently fixed fm radio autosearch problem definitively. I even updated the MCU firmware to GS 3.10.
I can't grant You that Your radio, having a bigger screen than mine, could work, however. Try to make a backup before doing anything
Hello,
Has anyone updated MCU MTCE_GS_3.17
I'm on 3.10 and was wondering what are the fixes or updates in it
Anyone test GS rom - 2019.06.28 from link above ??

I have a ISUDAR 8" inch and this version work like a charm.
Do NOT Update MCU on your Xtrons units to the latest MTCE GS v 3.17 just yet. It totally messes up the SPLIT SCREEN function for the APPS which worked just fine w previous GS v.3.10 update!!! (CONFIRMED)

You might be confused with Android ROM vs MCU, the MCU update won't affect Android Split screen.

Hi, thanks for the response.
But I also think you are mistaken or misinformed, the MCU is the micro-controller in the unit and can't affect the split screen function that is a part included in the Rom software.
Anyways I'm not going to update yet, or at least not until there is someone that can throw some light on any improvements that could be in the latest MCU version.
As for the rom i'm on stock android 9.0 and I only have a minor bug with the radio app and the LTE usb modem crashing from time to time, so i'm waiting for Malaysk to release his latest rom for 9.0 and then i'll try and see if the bugs are already resolved in that rom.
What are the benefits of 9 over 8 anyway in our case? Almost none.

Why don´t use just android 1.6? There was always no benefit....

You're a little bit special aren't you? You're comparing Apples to Breeze Blocks.
https://www.techradar.com/news/android-9-pie-vs-android-8-oreo-whats-new-changed-and-worth-nothing
Which of those particular features is most useful for your in-car experience?
Wellness perhaps? Or maybe the battery management eh?
App slices at a push might be useful. Recent apps as well.
Realistically though, you're just impressed by the big number aren't you? :good:

Canbus Erisin on an Isudar radio?

I have a Isudar radio for my alfa 159 car.
I have read Erisin radio works perfect in a 159 car. Its canbus box is:
Erisin ZF001 Special CanBus Decoder Box wihtout cable for ES7431FB - Erisinworldwide
Check
www.erisinworldwide.com
I would like to know if a canbus box of one brand works for radios of other brands?
I have contacted the seller Erisin and they cannot guarantee it will work in others brands.
Thank you very much

My auto radio version is:

Android version has nothing to do with it. All FYT 7862 units are Android 10 even though they might say 11 or 12 (already so much said about that in this forum).
If you saw it on YouTube and it is for a Mekede 100-700, just try it.

The menu/settings are different on this radio, its not th classic android menu, on YT it was not for an Mekede radio but a different brand android radio
