Hi All sorry to ask but i tried reading the forum first but could not figure where to start first, i have in the past updated firmwares and installed custom roms on phones but not a radio.
so whilst sorting out my garage i found i still have a Eonon G2110Z running MCU version MTCB KLD V2.40 on android 4.2.2 with RK3066 1.6GHz Cortex A9 Dual Core , now as it happens my good ladies head unit just failed.
i must of had this head unit in my garage for 3 or 4 years at least and it still powered on and runs fine but android 4.2 is old so is there any way i can put the latest (or better) android on there, the manufactures advertising it Upgraded to Android Unit G2110F and if so do you have a step by step dummies guide for me.
Thanks All
Good GOD they are even still selling the headunit Eonon G2110Z | Car GPS | Car DVD GPS | 2 Din Car GPS DVD | Android Car GPS | Android Car DVD Player

Hello everyone!
Are the Joying JY-UQ130 7" head units still viable? I know they are 1 GB/16 GB units, but I don't need much other than BT streaming and terrestrial radio with a customizable interface. I don't have the MCU version yet. My searches turned up nothing recent, but I did find some posts about having to upgrade/replace the screen to take 5.1.1. Is that still the case, or are these posts old info that no longer applies?

Hi
i have a built in head unit running on kitkat 4.4.2 in a brand new kia sportage 2017 model. I connected my phone to the head unit over bluetooth but it is impossible to see the title of the songs or any metadata playing. i called the manufacturer which had no idea and just gave me the explanation "this is like that" . I tried to install other music players (like poweramp) same problem.
the MCU verison is MTCB-HZC v2.95

Android version 4.4.4.23052016
This above is the model i have
It looks like the manufacturer has locked android ad2p bluetooth on purpose (for what reasons??).
Can someone point to a solution? I just don t see why technically that should be impossible and only see as reasonable explanation a limitation imposed by the manufacturer
I am thinking about replacing my car stereo with an android head unit.
I have been reading the forum but do have some open questions:
1. How good are these head units?
2. Most head units seem to run older versions of android so I am concerned that the playstore and apps are not going to be supported for much longer. Which headunits are somewhat modern (good specs) with good developer support. I assume there are no treble supported headunits yet?
3. My primary use case for an android headunit are:
- listen to podcasts (PocketCasts?)
- GPS navigations (Google Maps or Waze)
- see my reverse camera when backing up
- listen to music (Pandora, Spotify, youtube, or stored music)
- listen to the radio (probably nice to have)
4. I am planning to get a dashcam and I saw that some headunits integrate with dashcam + reversing camera
5. Would be nice to be able to use a Bluetooth or something remote on the steering wheel. Ideally something discreet/small that can be glued to the back of the steering wheel ...
6. I am not planning to install a separate SIM card in the head unit (thanks ridiculous carrier prices in the US). How successful have people been getting their headunit to rely on Wifi at home and tethering to the phone when driving.
7. I saw some threads about headunits "sleeping" when the car is off - I drive an electric car, so I definitely want the unit to be OFF when the car is off. Don't care if it takes 10-30 seconds to boot.
8. Any recommendations for single DIN headunits that match the above requirements/use case? Don't need or want a gigantic screen and certainly do not want a motorized screen ... there seem to be some nice headunits where a 7" screen is mounted to a single DIN unit and the screen can be moved up and down depending on where you need it in the car.
You are actually considering an Android head unit, not Android Auto.
This is Android Auto:
https://www.android.com/auto/
Android headunits have several dedicated sections here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-head-units
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcb-android-head-units-qa - for older units running Android 4.4 or 5.1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcd-discussion-questions-development - for newer units
Since you do not seem familiar with Android headunits and their specifics I strongly advise against gambling on Chinese units. Getting an Android Auto/Car Play compatible unit from an established manufacturer (the Sony XAV AX-100 seems pretty popular) would be a much safer option at similar price.
Hello,
does anyone know if Android Auto is finally available on the new models of Toyota?
I'm interested in Toyota Yaris (which models exaclty?) available in Italy.
I've read a lot of articles about Toyota agreeing on adding Android Auto support, but haven't found anywhere more details about which cars/models and when.
Tx a lot.
The Toyota Yaris (With GPS) Touch & Go 2, has it's own OS (based on QNX).
I don't own one with the GPS module, So i Got Toyota Touch 2, but not Touch & Go 2 (1200€ upgrade).
I tried to connect My Galaxy S9+ with Android Auto to the Toyota USB, and the only thing I got with android Auto on my Smartphone, is a black screen.
Android Auto Version 7.9723164 installed in my Samsung fold does not the split screen in my 9" Blaupunkt B910AU San Andreas 970 Car Head Unit Screen.Will the coming Version 8 show this split.The Apple Car Play already shows it in this car head unit.
