I just purchased and installed this one last night. Bit different than the others, with the actual unit being a seperate box attached to the screen. My original stereo is a 6.5" CIC no nav system.

One standout I noticed is that it has a lot of expandability. 3 SD slots and 3 USB's and at least 3 AV inputs/outputs.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-GPS...haaSb4&vxp=mtr

Havent had a lot of time to play with it yet, but so far it seems to work pretty well. Everything was plug and play to install, audio is through AUX, but I didnt have to run a cable or anything, so that's nice. There are no instructions at all and most cables are labeled in Chinese. Sound quality is the same as the car side. The original car interface is stretched to fit the screen and looks kinda iffy, but not bad. Doesnt seem to do any split screening.

I dont have the rear camera hooked up yet and I dont know the 'factory options' password, so I cant check anything there yet. But I can answer questions if anyone is curious.

It does report having the RK3188, but it only reports 1GB ram. Need to get CPU-Z on there and see what it returns.

I emailed the seller about the 2GB ram, but Chinese Spring whatever holiday is going on and they'll be closed for the next few weeks. It was delivered in about 3 days though, from China.

Sorry I typo'd that. It reports ONE Gb ram, not two unfortunately.

I previously had a RK3188 unit with 2GB ram and it'll be interesting to see the difference. I did have Waze and Pandora running this morning and it was ok.

So far, all I can definitively say is - get a screen protector. Thing is super shiny and the glare is awful.

Sorry - I dont think it actually is. I'm waiting for response from the seller to see what the deal is.

This one on Ali is the only other one i saw advertising 2gb. No idea if it's the same unit with the seperate box for the brains, but the interface/pictures are the same.

I know what it says, and I know what I have in my car. Either the advert is wrong, or the unit in the advert is displaying the wrong values.

I too, purchased it partly because it said it has 2GB, however, with all these Chinese electronics, sometimes the truth doesnt exactly line up with reality.

There seems to be Android 7.1 OS units out there, see below link

https://hualingan.en.made-in-china.c...atior-OBD.html

Would this be a better screen compared to the AvinUsa?

Hi Madmunky,
Last October I bought this from aliexpress for my E92 320D (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Andr...311.0.0.dZtEdC). At that time it wasn't with the
2017 BMW NBT EVO ID6 UI. Does that file that you uploaded (https://files.fm/f/scgk4je3), fits to my head unit so I will have 2017 BMW NBT EVO ID6 UI?
If yes, will you please tell me how to install it to my head unit?

Thanks in advance

1. Have sound on right speakers only, no sound from left speaker.
2. When start up, its play music/movie automatically. I am not prefer that.
3. After I use the reverse camera, it is not return to previous menu. It is stay with the reverse camera view, I have to push the menu button in order to change it back to main menu.
Your kindly advise would be a lot appreciate. Thank you in advance.

Does any one have the OEM files from October update? I need them to update the mcu because i can not see the ID6 mode under the factory settings menu.
Also is there a March firmware like the above person mentioned?

I posted this in Avin thread, but i think this might be more relevant here. Have any of you bought the higher end model with 4G and 2GB memory/32GB storage? It looks like all the units Avin had were 1Gb/16GB Wifi only... The unit i found is about 25 more than the Avin unit, but has better hardware specs, i believe upgraded Snapdragon CPU as well.

Is my head unit the same?

I bought the same head unit thru "carnaviplayers.com". But it literally looks the same software wise and physically from the avin one. Does anyone know if there's a difference? I'm also having audio quality issues with the Bluetooth and CarPlay streaming. FM radio is fine tho? Help!

Hi, I have EW960A that is equal to avin usa (or so I think). I want to update to latest firmware and last CMU.
I found in this forum the latest firmware, but I can not find the latest CMU with ID6 which is my goal. My car is a bmw F34 professional radio with BT and USB only.
