[Android Head-Units] abbastanza:
Erisin ES8101B (for Mercedes Vito/Viano)

Hello everyone, this is my first post in this beautiful forum that I have been following for years, sorry for my bad english.

I owned an

Erisin ES7801B 9''

car radio, customized for the Mercedes Vito (in my case W447 version), which I had happily updated with the latest

Hal9k PX5 ROM

.

Unfortunately this car radio after just over a year has failed in the audio part and has become unusable. I think the audio power amplifier died because the car radio started to crackle after a few minutes of work, therefore a thermal defect; first on the left channel, after a few days the right channel also started.

So, despite the not exactly happy experience with Eresin, not finding android alternatives with similar characteristics on the market, I still purchased the new model for Mercedes Vito directly on the site mentioned below:

Erisin ES8101B

.

(

Here

you will find a more detailed brochure).

A couple of days ago I got the car radio and after installing it I realized that the MCU is S32F0 and I think I understand that currently there are no alternative ROMs.

These are the hardware / firmware features:

Model (Vendor): Erisin ES8101B PX5 64 Gb ROM 4Gb RAM Android 10 (Mecedes Vito / Viano)

Model / Hardware: rk3368

ANDROID: 153403

MCU: S32F0_LEIMA-W_20200519_HD1_7708_D_FF_DSP_C8

APP: PX5C_C55_HA4_LeiMa_LeiMaUI2-0000-10-JS-EN_2020-06-01-1525

Apart from the bugs reported by @royalhawk2002 (which I confirm), I list the problems I found on my setup:

The CanBus communication has problems: the warning lights on the dashboard flash randomly and sometimes the air conditioning fan changes speed;

the car figure appears on the car radio display from time to time as when the doors are opened

.

Even in the previous version of the Erisin ES7801B car radio I had similar problems with the steering wheel controls and in the end I gave up, disconnecting the canbus; but in this new model, if I disconnect the can bus, the car radio does not turn off by removing the key and even manually turning off the car radio, the touch button lights remain active. Note: I connected the two-pole canbus cable to a connector located on the passenger side, under the glovebox.

The

Split Screen function

showing the two apps on the screen doesn't work for me. At least I haven't been able to make it work. In the previous car radio, it was activated by pressing the

Tasks button at the top

for a few seconds.

The display brightness is poor. Less than that of the previous ES7801B model. Even setting the display brightness to 100% in the Settings menu, it remains insufficient.

I have not been able to get

mirroring

to work with my android phone.

Another problem I have with the car stereo is the view of the reversing camera. As you can see from

this screenshot

there are both moving direction lines (generated via canbus) and fixed ones. I don't find anywhere, neither in the default settings, nor in the factory ones a way to deactivate the fixed lines.

I am attaching other screenshots of the Erisin ES8101B car stereo relating to settings and apps:
