What MTCD px5 head unit should I buy? (or is there better option then MTCD px5?)
I would like to have matte touchscreen.
Now few questions I can't find answers to:
Is it possible to have front and rear parking cameras with MTCD unit?
And can use those for DVR when not parking?
Is it possible to have parking sensors (front and rear) working with MTCD unit?
Also I tried to get Android auto to work, but no luck since 2.0 version since it is not available in my country. So true Android auto head units are not for me.

I'm a little bit confused...
I've bin looking for a good aftermarket head unit for my 2012 Ford Focus.
I found a few devices witch are based on the S160 platform like roadnavi.
Also a device witch is marked as 5.1.1 <LINK> witch seams to be on a mtcd base.
Im not sure if there is a devices available on a mtcb base for my car model.
What i read on xda, mtcb is the most popular an mod friendly device, mtcd is maybe to new on the market.
Have any of you guys a recommendation for me? Maybe one have the same car?
Thanks, Stefan
hello,
i have a 2013 ford focus.
Sad to see that here is no answer since 1 year.
iam looking for a replacement head unit too
have you found a headunit?
regards Christoph
I bought my unit from that company I have a 2011 Focus. Been working great for more than a year now.
It supports steering wheel controls, OEM reverse sensors, displaying which doors are open including boot. I also bought the boot handle camera and wired that up.
The only downsides are BT audio isn't the best, so I play all my music off USB.
And it seems like the PX3 units drain a little power when the car is off but I've always been able to start my car so probably not a big issue.
I flashed my unit with a KD rom as it looks nicer and updated my MCU to the latest version for KGL.
Here are a few head units for you to look at:

Hi , I am planning to buy a Joying Android 5.1.1 Intel 2GB Headunit but i am not sure if i have an amplifier in my car.
The car was bought as a " used car " so i have no idea if the previous owner had installed any amplifier.
How can i find out firstly if i have an amplifier and secondly the make/location of this amplifier.
I am not an expert in sound quality so if my question seems silly, bear with me
Car : VW Passat 2012 B7 estate model (Europe) with RNS310 headunit
PS :Google was not at all helpful , hence turning to our forum for answers
Thanks in advance !

Hi, anybody? ?
You do not need an amplifier to use this radio.
In order to find an amplifier, have a look at your battery, see if there is a big 6 or 8 guage power wire attached, these are usually related to amplifiers, if so, follow this wire to your amplifier.
Also, check for a blue wire coming from the back of your stereo. It will be labelled AMP REMOTE.
It will also have some AV cables coming from the rear of your radio. You can follow these to the amp also.
Usually check under the seats or in the boot.
I noticed that Octa Core PX5 VW head unit come out . it seems that the cpu will be fast than before . you can visit their new website for check .

The Intel units are better than the px5. Get the Intel instead of px5.

Hi Guys
I've just passed my current car containing my MTCD headunit to my wife, having bought myself a new car. Its a vehicle specific unit so will be staying in my wifes car.
There are no vehicle specif units for my new car, so am looking at standard double din options. To be honest, I've never been overly happy with the MTCD unit, its the first gen version with 5.1.1 the crappy PX3 Rockchip SOC and 1 gig of RAM. I've finally got it working acceptably using Malaysks ROM and Micro Gapps, but dont really want to stick another one of these in the new car!
There are a few more options available these days, PX5 units with better Rockchip SOC and 2GB RAM, the Intel Sofia Units, some other varients and I am also looking at an Android Auto head Unit from JVC as these are coming down in price.
Important things for me are:
Bluetooth Hands free
Radio (not fussed about DAB)
Sat Nav / Maps
Reversing Cam
Music
Listening to Audiobooks, probably doesnt need to be listed, but its important to me!
ODB stuff is nice (but not so important)
Lastly, the performance needs to be acceptable, I dont care if its not blazing fast, but we all know how slow some of these units are!
With all this in mind, what do people suggest looking at currently?
Many Thanks.
Josh
Also interested.
Have done lots of reading on the PX5 vs Sofia but haven't come to a conclusion yet.
I too am in the market, I got an old Dashlinq 4 in my BRZ running Android 4.1.1 and would love something that can actually run somewhat smoothly and keep pace with current apps now. Really would like something with at least Android 6.0 and 2GB of ram. Other than that needs to be Toyota Universal 6.2 inch double din size.
If the vehicle allows it, get an Android 7.x, with a high res IPS display, they are flooding these in the android HU market in china, but models are limits to popular car models.
I scanned thru several of these forums looking at the stickies in particular plus a few searches. However, I didn't find anything that would guide the selection of my 1st Android head unit. In particular, I am looking for the pros and cons of each type (Intel vs PX3 vs PX5, etc), as well as preferred manufacturers. I can fit a universal 2DIN in the dash with slight alterations. I would like to mod the unit so significant community involvement in customization is very important to me vs. having the latest and greatest thing out there. I want to hook up the unit to my Canbus so I can capture the steering wheel signals in my 2012 Ram 1500. I think that my truck has an external amp, but that it uses speaker-level signals vs. line level to drive. I have a factory externally amplified sub in the back. What other features are discriminators when trying to select the best unit? Thanks in advance!

I've had a bad experience with android (bought from Erisin) my unit died after only 6 months use (PX3 board) I then bought a PX5 board which only lasted a few weeks - when working the PX3 was ok - PX5 was faster - the unit I got seems impossible to get into recovery thus far. Erisin won't provide any support as they know it's too late for me to complain to Ebay or Paypal. I liked the android but I would look for a unit that has good support and is easy to get into recovery should things go wrong. I also have another car which has Windows system (Xtrons) but with built in DAB which apart from minor glitches has been good but is a little restricted with some software I would like to use.
I don't know where to post this so I'm posting here due to the amount of other Erisin posts.
I'm in the middle of looking for a double din head unit for my Rav4, this Erisin ES4763C head unit has come up on eBay / Erisin website when googled.
After reading a lot of reviews its putting me off spending around £250 on this head unit with camera, reverse camera, DAB+ etc.
I'm after a head unit that will do almost everything and it seems to fit the bill.
I'm wanting to know are they easily fixable, are they able to refund money if said item is broken? I'll be paying via PayPal to get some protection.
I like to research before I plunge in. Youtube videos seem to have helped a bit on what they do and they seem ok.
Would you recommend buying one or should I stay clear? - Just don't want to end up looking like Homer Simpson in my car with separate things like dash cam, satnav and bluetooth headset. (Season 14, episode 20.) (google "homer simpson car gadgets" since im not allowed to post links yet.)
After a bit more research, I've come across Xtrons PCD67HGT that does all the same stuff as Erisin but without the TV option. (But who drives with TV on?)
I honestly don't know which head unit to go for.
I'm after a head unit that can do these:
DAB+
Dash cam record + speed
Sat Nav
Reverse camera
Hands free phone
Steering wheel control
WiFi + 4G (or connect to phones 4G. Is this possible? So I don't have to buy another sim card?)
DVD + mirroring for back passengers.
What head units are there for me? Vehicle is a RAV4 2004 gen 2 D-4D.
I have around £260 to spend.
Thank you.
