[Android Head-Units] the pharos:
I have a Chinese Android Unit that is 8G with 128GB and fake Android 13 that I am trying to identify. it is actually running Android 10

The manufacturer is listed as SPRD which i believe is also Unisoc.

Have run Fake Device, AIDA64 and about 5 other device info apps and thay all confirm it is fake.

I am trying through Aliexpress to get a refund and if that goes to plan I will keep the unit as it is quick and functional and for what I want it will suffice.

There is no apple car play which it is supposed to have as wireless, plugged phone in and it loaded an app but as it took me to a Chinese site with no translation i closed that down.

Trying to connect Apple car play the phone sees the car but no connection is found. I am going to try some other apps to see if I can get this to function.

There is no corresponding icons for either carplay or android auto ( sorry not sure exactly what the android phone connection is called as I have never had a n adroid phone)

Bluetooth calling and network all work so there is some connection.

I have another earlier android unit so do know how to connect apple car play and I can live without it.

I have managed to rewire the speakers on the connector as they were reversed so my front to rear speaker balance works, Canbus which is a RAISE model for Jeep Wrangler JKU is still not quite right but I can get the doors open warning showing but little else at the moment so I am going to try further settings again to see if that can be immproved.

I would like to upgrade the Android system if it is at all possible.

Now I spent yesterday from the early hours of the morning scouring this site, as well the interwebs, AI searches and and thought I was on to something in the FYT thread, ran the test there that was reccomended and it said it wasn't a FYT type unit. Looked at the MTC etc. forums but could not really find anything there.

Came back to this forum and tried UIS 8581A and came across another post that the person had uploaded the same info I have but on another unit. The replies were that it was an 'oddball'.

I have also searched using the other info that was reported by the info apps, but with no luck.

It was a bit like fishing, i thought I had a few good tugs on the line but they kept getting away, honestly it was this big!!! :rolleyes:

Rather than doing that all over again and barking up the wrong tree, I thought I would ask the particpants in the forum if anyone can identify it or I just accept what it is and get on.

Many thanks in advance for any replies, hope I did not post in the wrong forum but as I cannot identify what the unit is exactly I thought this one was the best place

Slight update, I was in the 4pda forums and came across this https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=1086512#entry129177484 which lead to this link https://cloud.mail.ru/public/ZD2Z/Tt41orEyK.

Use google translate to read if you dont read Russian

The title of which is the same as my build number.

I have dowloaded the files but haven't risked doing anything yet as I wanted to see if anyone had any comments?

Cheers in advance

Updte part 2. Well that firmware from 4pda forum worked so will continue to keep an eye on there
