Thanks Alex,

When I get time, I will go back through my system and do the manual configuration of the factory settings to see if that will maintain itself in memory. But since the unit always goes to sleep as opposed to full shutdown, it really isn't much of a nuisance.

It sure is nice to have that 4GB of RAM and see the system operating at about 25-30% instead of the 80% level with the 1GB PX3 SoM. :good:

Hello, I am looking for an update sytème of my erisin es3061 please.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] okvp:
Finally my PX5 BT/wifi problem is solved! I read somewhere from this forum post from russian? guy who had similar problems, he ordered md725 dongle from aliexpress and it worked. So I ordered the MD725 usb dongle from here https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot...&orderId=90378497574245&productId=32596074592

It took two weeks to arrive and I connected it to usb port and boom! wifi and bluetooth started working almost immediatelly.

PX5 has now Malaysk rom in it so I gave him a little tip for a good work...

I bought the px5 upgrade for my Alfa Romeo rk3188 android radio. Had to remove some screws from the upgrade board to make it fit. The upgrade itself is great!! With the 1gb board not all my stearing wheel buttons were working and even that is working. And everything is so smooth and fast now. Probably the best 86 euro's I have spend in years. I went with the 4gb version. Old board had 1gb which made it quite useless.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Too late now, but if you had used microG on your old 1Gb board it would not have been useless, it would have been quite speedy, the RK3368/PX5 is better though.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] sodiumspain:
i dont know if someone else has encountered the same problem, but in any case í share the problem that arises with the new px5 4 gb 32 gb coreboard that sells witson in his aliexpress shop.

The model of my HU is erisin es3015V, which enters into the LM type.

The problem is that the new coreboard has a few mm more on the side, and collides with some components of the main motherboard. Attached photo show that it is mounted on top of a component labeled 220 and a 4-pin socket. It works with the car parked, but tomorrow I will do a bump test to see how it behaves and the socket pins are still making contact.

Another possible solution could be raise the coreboard so that it does not collide with the two surface components. Using a male-female pin header with the same pitch could do the trick.

Cutting the pcb to avoid the components seems to me excessive, especially without knowing if there are cooper traces in that zone of the pcb.

Any advice?

Hi guys. I've been searching around for the better part of an hour and still can't seem to find a definitive answer on this, but I have an older Joying MTCD unit, can I upgrade to one of these newer octa-core 4GB ram boards, such as this one: https://goo.gl/9gkmh7

My issue is more bigger. After I flash other versions of MCU, the buttons functions don't work as it should. Maybe you could help me with that. This is my HU https://www.eonon.com/Android-Car-GPS/2-Din-GPS-Navigation/GA2155.html
[MTCD Android Head Units General] abagos:
I have the same unit and this happened to me too when I updated the MCU (I am using a newer HA MCU currently). You have to go into the Factory Settings and re-calibrate the display and configure the buttons. If your touch screen works, you should be able to do that.

I have kept an configuration export (cfg) which I can send but I would suggest that you configure the unit again manually. I have kept pictures from the other setting in case you need them.

A.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mariuscov:
If you want please send me the .cfg so I can flash it.

Give me also some instructions for how to do it.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] abagos:
I am attaching the cfg (although I think you should try to do it with the factory settings). You copy it in the root diretory of an SD memory card which you insert in the "GPS" slot. It should be automatically detected and give you the option to install. Better put it with the MCU. If it doesn't the go into settings and choose MCU update manually.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] mariuscov:
I solve the issue with the buttons functions but still the buttons isn't illuminated. Thanks for your support!

Any idea how to give back the illumination of the buttons?

Is missing also the submeniu ELEMENTS from where could choose the colour and other..
[MTCD Android Head Units General] abagos:
If that worked before flashing the MCU, then it must be the settings of the Panel LED Type, which in my case is "RGB LED" (in factory settings).

Have a look at the screenshots I took and try.

Hey, guys, I have a 1gb, 1.6gHz navi, bought from Erisin.

I have just repaired my fm radio tuner, which was damaged due to drying of some quartz elements on the board (I was catching no fm stations in the last few weeks, they were going fewer catched as time went on, since I installed that navi 2 years ago), but the navi itself remains a little bit laggy.

Can I upgrade mine with one of these 2gb boards:

I have seen, that many of you have replaced successful with the witson, the question is whther the cheaper ones are also compatible alternatives.The sellers of all of them say, that they are not compatible with other navis, than those that they sell in their stores, but is this true.

The otojeta seller said this is only software update, but I don't believe him, he is selling some board obviously.

The Mekede seller refuses to sell it without selling a navi machine as well. He says it's not compatible with other brands, but it's really cheap, so did anybody try it?

Ot can I upgrade with a px6 board, and which one is compatible?

Are there any settings that I have to backup, before I do the board replacement, in case that the new one doesn't work, and that I have to revert to the original one, that may get lost due to the change? And if yes, how is this backup made?

Thank you in advance!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] schriss:
Middle one is not coreboard. I would go with WITSON if I were you...
[MTCD Android Head Units General] novicebg:
Which one is not a coreboard?

How do you search this core boards in AliExpress, what words do you use? When I type px5 board, only the Mekede is found.

In my country the Erisin oficial dealer is selling px5 upgrade board for my navi for something like $130, for which I assume it could be found somewhere cheaper with at least 10-20%, the question is where and what to look for, to find a compatible one. There is no point to order Witson from China for the same price, wait for it 1 month and hope to be compatible, as I can order and have it the next day for 130 dollars as well, right? Bit if I can save something by ordering from China, then it's worth waiting.

And what about this one:

px6, even cheaper than the px5, and people say they replaced exactly old px3 with it. Is it compatible? And which one is better - more ram with px5 or less ram with px6?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] d5stick:
Do yourself favor and by the PX5 2GB board that has the highest chance of working.

I have one installed with Android 6, as i was not sure if 8 was going to work.

There are some incompatibilities with that version.

You can search for Android 8 bluetooth wifi not working to figure out if you can install 8.

(If you find out that your MCU is working with android 8, than i recommend to buy the 4gb module)

Yes the android board is upgradable with your unit but install the heatspreader that comes with the new board.

Also update your MCU with the latest update before you install the PX5 board.

December 2019 update and summary

Well, that took a couple of nights to read through all 690 posts! Seems that there has been no action here since February though so I know I'm dragging up an old thread.

First, many thanks to all that contributed. I learnt a whole hell of a lot from you. Special thanks to [MENTION=456516]typos1[/MENTION] for patience in all the "Will this work with my headunit?" questions. You deserve sainthood.

Second, I figured that I'd bring this up to date for anyone starting at the end and working backwards:

If you have an MTCD unit that is PX3/RK3188 then the PX5 board will work for your upgrade.

There are some changes you need to make in the fitting of the PX5 with a removal or adaptation for a screw.

You should have the latest MCU upgrade for your unit. See this thread for cross-compatibility.

MTCD mcu have been replaced by MTCE mcu. The hardware is the same and you can flash the MTCE mcu to your MTCD HU. Be careful with the cross-compatability between hardware manufacturers though, See thread above for cross-compatibility.

You will probably want to run a modified ROM which you can find on the forum here. Look for Hal9K or Malaysk ROMs for the version of Android that is on the PX5 board you buy

Most folks buy the upgraded boards from the WITSON store(s) on AliExpress. The issue I found here is that there are now more than one WITSON store (see below)

Some people have had issues with WiFi and BT not working but there is a workaround in post #667. Also see Hal9K site here.

Yes, it does appear that it is worth doing with even the 2Gb/16Gb upgrade giving great results but there are now 4Gb/64Gb units available.

So, onto my questions that maybe only here due to the length of time between the last post in Feb 2019 and now - Dec 2019.

There are at least two WITSON stores on AliExpress:

WITSON Automaster Store

WITSON Official Store

Be careful on these sites, one listing seems to cover both the PX5 and PX30 boards with just a 'radio toggle' picture to define which one you order.

So, as of today, I can find two units available (this part to help those that post "Do you have a link to the item?" questions) but bear in mind, this is AliExpress and listings change all the time. You will need to do some searching to find what is available. I'm just trying to help short-circuit that learning curve for you.

WITSON ANDROID 8.0 PX5 Octa-Core +4GB RAM +32GB Flash Coreboard For Android DVD (For Android 8.0 V5XXX only)

WITSON PX30 PX5 Android 9.0 core board For RK android system DVD(Android 7.1 and 8.1 can upgrade to Android 9.0 directly)

I have one question for those folks here that are way more experienced in this:

Is there any reason to not go with the second one of those items (Android 9.0/4Gb/64Gb)?

I read that some had some issues with Android 8.0 but with the passage of time, 7.1 isn't widely available now and I may as well buy the most memory available, right?

Thanks.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] TripitakaBC:
Update:

I went with the PX5 4G+64Gb in the last link of my post above. Fitted into my Joyous HU perfectly and worked right from turning it on. No issues with WiFi or Bluetooth. Just need to do the MCU update now.

It took a while to get shipped but it was over Christmas holidays. Once it got shipped it arrived pretty quickly.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] teddyking:
Thanks for your very useful information.

What is the model of your headunit ?

What is the previous version of MCU and the new version u going to update ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] TripitakaBC:
I have a JY headunit, no idea what model it is.

I was running the MTCD_JY_v1.90 MCU and upgraded directly to the MTCE_HA_v3.40 MCU. Backup and restore of the dmcu.cfg file seemed to leave the hardware buttons mixed up but I'll figure that out.

I have gone directly to Hal9K Mod4 ROM with OTA updates. WOrks pretty good currently. Interestingly, despite my unit showing that it is (?)MD725(?) bluetooth, it works just fine, as does the wifi.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] teddyking:
It seems like your mainboard is MTCD not MTCE. Is it Ok to update MCU to MTCE?

Is there any problem or malfunction on the MCU 1.90 before u update to 3.40?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] TripitakaBC:
I picked up through other threads (and updated the bullets in post #691) that the MTCD and MTCE hardware is identical and as such, MTCE firmware can be flashed to MTCD units. The thing to watch out for is cross-compatibility between hardware manufacturers (the letters that follow the MTCD_ part). Links to the relevant threads are in #691.

I had no issues with MCU 1.90 before moving directly to the 3.40 version but even though I saved and reinstalled the dmcu.cfg file from 1.90, the hardware button mapping was incorrect and I had to relearn it through the Factory Setting menu.

Unit is currently working perfectly on MTCE_HA_3.40 and Hal9K Mod4.0.1 OTA ROM.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Fakken:
Are you completely positive?

I have a px3 rockchip 3188 / 2gb ram / mtcd / KBT mcu from Eonon.

Do you have any ideea where to buy a px5/px6 board compatible with my unit?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] d5stick:
It's possible but you need to check the version of your BT/Wifi card.

Yes I am 100% positive, its been widely known on here, 4pda.ru and many other sites for 5 years, its also been done 1000s of time by myself and others.

Before you install the PX5, update the MCU otherwise the card wont work.

KBT MTCE V3.30 is the latest i think.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Fakken:
Yes, i have the malasyk or the hal9k, i don't remember exactly, but it is rooted.

So, i should flash the v3.30 MTCE KBT MCU, and then install the new board?

I can't find anything about KBT v3.30 on the mega thread.
