Update!

So Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to my own post with an update!

Having been using the unit for a few weeks now, thought i would share an update.

In order to fit you need the same equipment as you would for any aftermarket unit. A Double Din cage and surround suitable for your vehicle. My ford is slightly larger than double din and without the surround it looked a bit grim. Pick the correct cage and surround from any auto place - i grabbed one from halfords for convenience. You will also need the appropriate wiring harness to connect up to your vehicle. On the x-trons site you can see the wiring connections that come with the unit and compare to your vehicle.

In order to get finger tip controls to work you will either need the wiring harness with canbus, or to do some doctoring of the wiring. I found a youtube video that helped understand which wires needed splicing and it was relatively simple and saved about £25 (the wiring harness without canbus was less than £10 whereas with canbus was £34.99!!).

The unit itself is fast and responsive and much better than my previous unit. Definitely worth the extra RAM and android version. I have installed a custom launcher and all is good.

DVD player works fine and the screen quality is adequate for watching video.

Sound Quality is alright. Its not booming out but with the vehicles default speakers i cant complain. Fitting an aftermarket amp and speakers would obviously make this better.

Bluetooth audio for voice calls has been fine. I fit a seperate mic to the one included to ensure i had a mic with good reviews and wouldnt need to rip everything out and start again. Grab one on Amazon for less than £10 so you can be confident in the mic capabilities.

Being able to split screen apps is great - spotify on one half and google maps on the other makes it so easy. Google Maps has also worked well.

I have a 4G dongle in the car and wifi has been great - no drop outs or issues.

My Glovebox now contains a PS3 and the units AV inputs work fine, again the screen is not amazing, but works well enough. Im all set up for when i go camping/fishing and it is raining too much to venture out. Chill in the cab and play some Borderlands!

I dont have OEM cam or sensors so cant comment on these im afriad.

As i said before the unit is cracking and I'm really happy with the purchase. The only drawback is that the unit doesn't sit flush to the dash and you have that gap between the unit and the screen. I am used to this now so it doesn't bother me as much, however i do occasionally skip tracks or complete other actions when changing gears!

I will try and grab a small video i can pop on YouTube.

YOUTUBE VID AS REQUESTED - https://youtu.be/SeL3MTCl7ck
[Android Head-Units] _Shengli:
Thank you so much for the video and information :good:

So great you figured out how to fix the Steering wheel control. That is my biggest concern with these full display head units since they are (missing) the volume knob.

It would be an annoyance if i suddenly want to turn it all the way down. I am very surprised that it cannot be tilted to either side though i was not aware of this :(
[Android Head-Units] _Shengli:
Can you share some of those videos that shows how to connect the head unit to SWC. Without the use of the canbus adapter?
[Android Head-Units] Evilflip:
SWC Connect

To connect the swc, make sure you have the proper harness for your vehicle that specifically states it will connect your swc to an aftermarket radio. The wire my vehicle used was the key 2 wire on the radio. I belive this key 2 wire connected to a blue/yellow wire on the harness. This was for a Toyota veh. The swc will need to be programmed in the radio as they offer multiple options for each button.
[Android Head-Units] bombername:
Terrible enough, that you cant pivot to the left or right side.

Does somebody know an alternative device for that? DIN 2, please.
[Android Head-Units] Jake350:
Not sure of any off hand, but even if this unit could pivot left to right, it would only do so by about 10 degrees and this unit already sticks out about an inch. So for a unit to be able to pivot to a substantial amount, it would require the screen to stick out even more which may not be very aesthetically pleasing.

Just my 2 cents
[Android Head-Units] bombername:
You could be right.

But this device damn a lot more.

http://xtrons.co.uk/tr100-10-1-andr...face-panel-2-5d-curved-screen-car-stereo.html

Bad thing, it's for 1 DIN and has less RAM.

Otherwise it already got Oreo.
[Android Head-Units] _Shengli:
I wish the te103ap could move like the tr100 and have build in dab+ like the brand new hu's
[Android Head-Units] bombername:
Just found in the description of the TR100:

•Designed for Double DIN Slots (Fixed by Provided Fitting Kits)

Note: We do NOT recommend installing this unit in single DIN slot.

this make it really interesting.
[Android Head-Units] _Shengli:
It does look interesting but it has its plus and minuses.

+Rotatable screen

+NO dvd drive

- Allwinner T8 soc instead of PX5

- 2GB ram instead of 4GB

- Android 7.1 Instead of 8.0
[Android Head-Units] Konchryboy:
Has anyone had an issue with the screen not working? I installed the radio and everything looks great except nothing on the screen works. The reset button will turn it on and off. But nothing on the screen is touch activated. I emailed customer service but no answer yet. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] _Shengli:
Did you try to reconnect the monitor?

I heard several other people who had this issue. As i remember it was just not connected properly
[Android Head-Units] Konchryboy:
Thank you for the reply. Yes I've unplugged it and and plugged back in and it still acts like the screen is locked
[Android Head-Units] bombername:
Did anybody find some other impressions or opinions about the device?

Some good previews or something like that? =)
[Android Head-Units] _Shengli:
Found a little more reviews about the TE103AP

[Android Head-Units] bombername:
We are lost. I dont know which one i should choose.:laugh:
[Android Head-Units] _Shengli:
Yeah they both have some good things to offer.

If only the TE103AP came with the screen of the TR100 it would be a no brainer.

I think it would be possible for them to change it.
[Android Head-Units] bombername:
That would be great. Sometimes i dont know why the developers dont think about that.

To pivot the screen to the left or right side is really great.

But i dont think that there will be a new device in the next 6 months. Or should we text them?
[Android Head-Units] _Shengli:
They just released new units yet again. This time the units have build in DAB+ but sadly its not the universal head units only the car specific. Or sadly for me at least . I drive an Volvo xc70 which is not supported
[Android Head-Units] Konchryboy:
Well I got it working :victory: I disconnected the batteries for about 15min and it rebooted and works like a charm :D
[Android Head-Units] _Shengli:
Great to hear :good:

As we can see here in the video, the display is connected via a cable.

Unhook the battery from the vehicle for a min, or pull the radio fuse.. radio needs to be unhooked from power to connect and disconnect the screen.. the unit has to be shut off.. most people think it's shut off but really it's in sleep mode for upto a couple hours, that's how it boots up so fast.. once the unit is fully Un powered it will reset and the screen will work.. or u can push the reset button to do this to.. I think u push it in and hold for a couple seconds to reboot it.. be careful pushing the reset button though, on my first unit the button popped of inside the front cover, so I bought a new replacement and sent the broke one back, they gave me a full refund and paid shipping to Compton, California $35 shipping and $10 for my trouble..
[Android Head-Units] jtaylor8328:
Password?

Does anyone know the password for getting into the factory settings?
[Android Head-Units] tankdog03:
126 is the password, be careful of the settings u touch... very easy to reset the panel keys, then it defaults backwards (touch the right side of screen and it thinks ur touching the left side)
[Android Head-Units] tankdog03:
I asked my good old buddy at extrons for the stock firmware and I have that now.. rooting should be coming very soon for this model.. I mean rooting the stock firmware, I don't want a custom rom right now, a lot are to buggy..

You put a lot of music on a dvd or double layer dvd is like over 8gb.. also use a USB drive.. I have a awesome system in my truck and a lot of mp3s/Spotify songs sound like crap.. but I put in a good old cd and boom, I have to remember adjust all my ****..

I wish Spotify or all mp3s had to be a requirement of at least 320kbps to keep the quality worth listening to..

Has anyone run a DVR or backup cam on this that isn't from Xtron? I was originally going to buy the Joying unit because it has all the specs I wanted until I realized this has BT 5.0, but Xtron says that I can only run their cameras which I really do not like and would prefer a unit that mounts around the rearview for the DVR and on my plate for the backup cam
[Android Head-Units] bombername:
Wtf....is that save, that only their cams will work with the uni?

To transfer the cable trough the car is horrorfying.
[Android Head-Units] mclellan83:
I may have taken it wrong but this is exactly what they said when asking about this https://www.ebay.com/itm/170-Degree...var=582142889867&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

Hi

I am sorry, we are not sure if this DVR will work with our unit.

It might need a different app to work on our unit. we still suggest you use our DVR

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Was anyone here aware these are an MTCD GS unit. The firmware is supplied to GS from HCT. They're all based on the same with minor cosmetic changes such as launcher.

You might all think they're different but they're not.

Custom ROMs

are factory (HCT) ROMs

again with minor changes, therefore contain the same bugs.

CANBUS Info

Does anyone know if i can plug a CANBUS TX/RX straight into this and have it use the steering information bend the guidelines for the reverse camera? I understand it needs to have a CANBUS decoder built into do this. Does the CANBUS menu support Toyota, or Toyota Harrier? Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] bombername:
Hey,

how is the soundchip qualitiy of the HU? Maybe also with the subwoofer out?

thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] _Shengli:
Could you post the youtube link you talked about? :)
[Android Head-Units] Evilflip:
I cannot post links! Too nub.

My factory reverse cam works just fine as I purchased the proper connect from pac for my veh to make it work.

My system is hooked up thru a factory amp so the sub out is thru that. It sounds fine, quality is certainly notnany worse and usually better than before.

All of these manufacturers are just resellers and the important piece of the puzzle is the Mxxx part that was listed with links a few posts ago. Read all about them if you want to get knowledge and perhaps a rom.

Does malaysk latest Android 8 rom run on this device?
[Android Head-Units] Evilflip:
I believe that it will work on this MTCD device but root is not easy as kingroot is not working for it yet. There is a way to root it but takes some programming.

There is a nice thread that is discussing this topic on the MTCD section - i would link you there but still cannot yet. Malaysk's is confirmed to work according to a poster on that thread. The roms do have their own issues so consider that as well.
[Android Head-Units] charlieworton:
I've just brought in a very similar unit. Cortex Octacore A53, 4Gb ram, 32 Gb rom, Android 8.0.0. Same resolution on a 7" screen, a (physically, at least) drop in replacement for the COMAND factory sound system in my 2006 Mercedes. Didn't buy it from Xtrons, although the Android instruction manual thanked me for buying an Xtrons unit. Paid $387 CAD, including free, 3 day shipping from China to Canada via DHL. In US dollars that would be about $299 USD. Here's a link to what I bought:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Atc...S-for-Mercedes-Benz-CLS-W219/32852982059.html

I suspect the TE103AP is the latest hardware, and mine is one little shuffle back. Essentially the same unit, but you have the Fakra antenna connectors and the better amp. I think everything else is pretty much the same.

I'm looking for info on rooting it, and flashing a custom rom - and I am so new to messing with Android, I don't know whether those are the same thing or not. Hopefully we'll be able to share knowledge! Keep rockin' - Charlie
[Android Head-Units] StuBFrost:
I'm really interested in buying this unit but could really do with seeing an installation manual to see all the possible connections. I'm particularly concerned about my current reverse camera and steering wheel control connections. Does anybody have a PDF that I can be posted or photos of the connections. I was hoping the user manual on the X-Trons website would show this but I couldn't see it.

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] charlieworton:
Hi, StuBFrost,

Installation connections will vary from car to car (and from head unit to head unit). Speaking very generally, there is one large connector that handles all the speakers and features common to virtually all stereo units; and then there are a bunch of specialized connectors that provide capabilities that are unique to that particular unit. For example, my unit has 2 USB ports on the back, with cables that can bring the breakout port to a convenient location on the center console or in the glove box. My unit also has 2 video out ports, intended to drive video screens on the back of the front passenger and drivers seats, so that people in the back seat can watch a DVD playing in the head unit. And there's a port for the GPS antenna... the point is, different units will have different ports, relating to the capabilities of that specific unit.

In terms of installation, most car head units are supplied by the manufacturer with a custom harness that will connect the DIN standard plug to the wiring for the vehicle specified. When you order your stereo, you specify the vehicle it is intended to fit; they will usually include a custom harness to fit. Most units are also supplied with steering wheel control harnesses, and ways of programming them to work properly with the switches on the steering wheel.

In my case, I'm putting it into a Mercedes; and that is an unusually difficult install, because the Mercedes does everything over an optical fiber network using the Canbus protocol. This requires translating the analog audio at the output of the unit into a digital signal, then translating that into an optical signal, and inserting it into the fibernet. There are various boxes and interfaces that help achieve this, but the procedure is quite a bit more complex than it is for most installations. And it's largely uncharted waters; there's a lot of "try this, try that" before you get it working.

Having installed several head units over the years, I can tell you that it's really quite straightforward for most vehicles - no more complex than hooking up a home audio system. Most of the hard work is running the cables invisibly to where they need to go. YouTube is wonderful for instructional videos on how to remove door panels, pillar covers, etc for a specific vehicle.

And I should mention - the unit I purchased is an MTCE unit, not MTCD. Here's the information:

Hi all, I'm just now tuning back into this thread. I also managed to figure out the way to upload pics. See some of them now in my album. I will be uploading more from my install which has been quite a learning curve for me. I will be adding picks from after upgrading 7" upper dash video mon, rear camera and DVR front/back. I bought DDPai Mini2 1440P (for rear) and DDPai Mini3 1600P (for front). They are not work through the HU yet. DDPai software isn't compatible. I assume it has to do with Android 8? For now i have no live video feed on screens, I'll let you all know if and when I am successful.

I had the same experience. I was very impressed on how quickly it arrived and how well packaged.

Reverse Camera Lead

Hello, which lead did you use for the reverse camera? It's the one function I cannot get to work. If I plug it into the FCAM and push the FCAM button, I do see my video, but no other Video Input seems to work. I do have the reverse line setup as when I select revser the display changes to a blank video display. I then tried all yellow inputs and never got the camera to come up. In the meantime I disconnected the reverse sensor and have the camera in the FCAM, but that means I have to manually turn on the video each time I need it. I use it a lot as this is an RV.

I had the same problem of no video too. After poking around as above, the f-cam showed video after touching the camera icon on the left screen which went from a camera pointing up to down. (front cam to back cam) I have the back cam video lead plugged into the "CCD-AV IN".

[Android Head-Units] eagle88123:
Hello,

You need to use the "ACK SIGHT VIDEO" input for reverse Camera. And use the pink cable (Reverse) to active when you reverse. And you need to do these settings: Seteings>Factory settings>other>Front camera=On>Switch to front camera after reverse=2sec>Reversing brightness=5>Prohibit reversse=Enable then click apply then exit...reboot

The FCAM is for front camera if you decided to use..

Hi all. I want to buy the unit but need some info on it PLEASE.

1) The FM tuner. I see on all pictures, the fm stations decimal ends on a uneven number. I beleve this is American? I live in South Africa and we have even and uneven decimals on the fm frequency. I believe its the same a Europe?

Can this be adjusted so I can listen to my 94.7 AND 96.2 fm? Can someone that have the unit please try to change the country and see it it works like I want? Please.

2) FM reception. How good is the FM reception? My friend has a cheap android radio and the fm reception is bad. Worse than stock. Can someone please confirm if it is on par with stock head units.

3) I wont as regarding audio quality , it has a TDA chip and thats is that. But the RCA outputs. Is it high voltage out (at least 4v)? And is the sub woofer out decent? Does it have a cut off frequency setting for the sub?

4) The BOOT time. I see one user posted that it does not turn off , but rather goes to deep sleep for a few hours when switching off the car. Is that true? How long before it goes to powering off from deep sleep? If so : What is the boot time when in sleep mode and when it is OFF.

I see the 10.1" EONON boots up in 1m10s. That is INSANELY long time.

5) I see the possessor is PX5 and not T8. But is the T8 not better tan PX5 ? I googled it and T8 looks better? But this question 5 is not really important.

Hope to get a reply from a user soon! Thanx all:good::good::good:

I want to get this unit but due to the position of the hinge/mount, the bottom of the screen will obscure my heating controls. Does anyone who owns this unit think that I could modify the screen hinge/mount so that the screen sits about 2cm higher ?
[Android Head-Units] Legolas8911:
1. You can select the region you are in for radio. I live in Europe, I have Europe selected.

2. Worse than sock now. When I installed it it was on part, but I think messed something up, like putting the GPS cable too close and it interferes with the signal. I am too lazy to take it back out and I regularly use Spotify

3. Better than stock on my BMW. You also have equalizer, you can tweak it if you want.

4. It came with "autosleep" selected. It does not shut down and it starts instantly. It won't drain the battery, it consumes very little while in sleep. You can however set it to shutdown after x amount of time.
[Android Head-Units] benna:
Thanx mate.

Anyone else please give an opinion on fm reception?

I can get a unit from Aliexpress from Xtrons shop , but they dont reply to my messages.

The xtron website cant ship to my location and Amazon also.

Ebay can ship sometimes to South Africa , but I am affraid to buy from someone that is not Xtron for warranty.
[Android Head-Units] Legolas8911:
Just saw the multitude of autocorrect mistakes from my last message, sorry for that.

Well, you can buy from xtrons directly and deliver to mailbox.de or a similar package forwarding service and have that deliver to your location. Honestly I was amazed by the delivery. Arrived the next day, from UK to Romania.

They are pretty slow to answer, they always reply the next day, regardless if I send them an email 30 seconds after their reply and only one email / day.

Regarding FM, you can always buy a signal amplifier, there are a lot of posts about those around here.
