Intel sofia/px5 som interchangeable?

Are Intel Sofia units any different than PX5?
I mean is the som interchangeable?
Can I just remove the Intel and put a PX5?

No Way, totally different processors: ARM vs Intel.

Yes I know that the CPU and the ram is on the som
Can we just remove the Intel son and put a PX5 in its place..? They are supposed to be Mtcd's after all

so the motherboards are completely different design i guess..
thanks

Interesting to note though, I bought a HA PX5 unit a while back and the mainboard is labelled HA-Sofia.
I wouldn't be surprised if they were more similar than people think.

Intel Sofia board is soldered to MTCD Mainboard, while PX5 has a connector. This means that Intel Sofia and PX5 are totally different and not compatible.
Intel Sofia MTCD is not upgradable because of this soldering, also, these many solderings (which looks line castellated vias) can break easily (thermal expansion, vibrations, etc) and could cause functional issues, and to fix it, Joying is instructing customers to re-solder them . This is the main reason why I discarded the purchasing of the Intel Sofia and waited for the PX5.

They have switched away from the 5009, which you are correct in stating the use of castellated vias. The 6012 SoM now uses standard pin header connector.

Intel Sofia SOM

Has a connector like PX3 or PX5.

Juuust kidding haha but I did installthe fan from that heatsync sucking air into the unit directly off my A/C lol

I know it's a very old thread but I have an Xtrons Head unit with Intel Sofia and changed the core board to a px3 1gb (same connector). It works but you will have no wifi or Bluetooth because both of them are on the sofia core board and not on the Mainboard. So you have to use a stick for it.

Looking for a PX5 Board

Hi All,
Looking to buy a PX5 board to upgrade my HU as I'm wanting to eventually put Oreo on it. Any chance anyone has one their selling?

so you're looking for second hand? I don't think people would be selling as it's the best board you can have for a PX unit unless someone is selling the 2GB RAM only version and upgraded to the 4GB RAM version?
You can get a new board here http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/Ey3vfiy

I'm in the UK sadly, would probably cost a fair bit to post!

Im interested. How much?

I am looking at the "WITSON ANDROID 8.0 PX5 Octa-Core +4GB RAM +32GB Flash Coreboard For Android DVD (For Android 8.0 V5XXX only) " on Aliexpress.com.
Is this module usually a drop in replacement for the RK3188 MTCD units?

Flash/Re-install car stereo OS

Hello!
I have a 2din car stereo/dvd that I purshased from eBay.
My questions:
Is it possible to flash/reinstall the stereos OS with another? For example, replacing it with Android.
If possible, can I make it so my Factory BC still works? (info, date etc in my little dash screen)
It currently runs on WinCE 6.0 with 256mb RAM and 800Mhz Cortex A9 CPU
I can´t post links so if you want to see the product, search on eBay "DVD GPS sat nav for VAUXHALL Opel Corsa Astra Vectra Meriva Zafira Vivaro DAB+" and find the one running on Windows.

Px5 android 9 for renault dacia real or fake ?

Hello,
I search a good head unit for dacia renault car 2019.
I was really surprise to find a android 9 device with px5 4gb 32
Real or fake ?
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/IPS-..._expid=c545b767-fe4c-42b4-8a79-1db8b725dc60-0
Thank you

Possibly it is real. On Russian web sides you can find Android 9 for PX5 too.
Regards

Pure Android 9.0 OS :
1. Processor: RK PX5
2. RAM: 4GB DDR3
3. ROM: 32GB
Pure Android 9.0 OS :
1. Processor: RK PX30
2. RAM: 2GB DDR3
3. ROM: 16GB

Resellers Belsee and Seicane are both now (as of the last week or so) advertising Android 9.0 on many if not most of their HUs. I'd say it's probably legitimately moving that direction.

They are exactly the same. Cooling doesn't matter in this case. Just ask Joying which will fit your car better.
If I had the choice I would always go for the single-din unit if your car is not so big, as that means that the space behind your dashboard will not be too big either. With a few accessories it is really difficult to put everything in the dashboard.
Note that both units are 1024x600. For a 7" that is sufficient, but if you also have the choice for 1280x720 and you can afoord it, I would select that one.

I don't know if there is one. I suggested to look for it (if you have ..). You have now selected Universal ones. Is your car type not supported?
