[Q] CA-FI Dashlinq - OUKU - Unbranded 6.9" 2 DIN Android Car Stereo Radio Head Unit
Hoping to start a thread on this Car Unit, which boasts a bigger screen than the OUKU unit discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110546
http://store.ca-fi.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=274
There are several versions and brands of this unit on the market. I've seen it under the name Yeamax, Advanz and Pixen.
Unfortunately the unit has the same crippled Android found on the OUKU unit, which is a shame because the potential is there. Maybe we can get some of the experts on here to get a vastly improved build for one of these units.
I have the latest S/W update on SD-card, but have no idea how to work with it. It is non-standard in 4 separate files with names such as "image_kernelfs, image_rootfs, etc.).
So, the first step would be to get Root on the unit. Anyone want to support this?
Have the same unit, did you get any news ?
Could you please help me to choose the best android car head unit to buy?
My requirement to:
-have the head unit support OBD2 over bluetooth and work with Torque App
-The head unit should have 4 preouts (Front and Back Left & Right) and 1 subwoofer RCA + it should produce a good clear sound quality
-The android unit should have the latest android firmware available such as 4.2 or up
-The headunit should have good software/firmware support and updates
-Optionally The head unit should be able to get rooted
I have found some of the headunits below:

Could you help me choose from the above or suggest me a better one?
after reading the posts for both hui fei and an-21u I have settled my mind to buy a hui fei based model (1.6 ghz android 4.2.2) so i will buy either
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-A...Video_In_Dash_Units_w_GPS&hash=item5d4c6dd9e7
or
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Din-6-2-H...Video_In_Dash_Units_w_GPS&hash=item5d4c6decf4
but i am afraid that maybe these 2 units will not support 4 audio preouts, could someone explain if they support it or suggest me another 1.6ghz based model that supports it?

Pretty certain they are Huifei units, if they are they should have 4 pre-outs plus sub pre out (voltage = 3V). Best to email the seller to double check though.

Ebay is ****e as well - I bought an Android tv box from them which lasted 2 months then stopped working and they told me to go away, despite toally breaking uk law, I m now going to have to take the b*st*rds to court.
Best thing is to buy using your credit card (NOT paypal) then you are covered, so doesnt matter where you buy from then (apart from ebay using Paypal as Paypal will take any refund your credit card gives you back out of your bank account)
I am looking for help on choosing the right android radio for my car.
I have a forester 2011 with gps buit in, but that super feature removed the a2dp fonctionalty !
That is all I wanted! !!
I have read these 2 thread AN-21U and 4.2.2 a9 dual core
These 2 are hard to find on ebay !
I have a galaxy s5, note 2014 and wife has galaxy s3... we are very in android.
What I would like on the radio is:
- a2dp perfectly working
-good gps with available free updates (without having to always use google maps on tethering from my phone). But Google maps still available
- port for microphone (unless the micro from the head unit is good for phone call. .. but I doubt it! ). I could use the one already installed in my car
-steering wheel control. .. they all seams to have it
-able to browse Internet and YouTube videos (on tethering)... flash player probably working with firefox...
-torque apps should work. .. already using it on my phone (OBDII)
-google account working linked with chrome
-good radio reception. .. the is a must since this is my. ...radio! !
-fast boot time. .. or even being able to stay on sleep mode. I guess 30 secondes is fast enough, but might get slower with more apps I guess !
-tv tunner would be awesome
-reverse camera
Am I dreaming wanting all this ?
Between 350 and 400$ should be doable !
Root is not necessary since I might end up with more problems. (Radio not working, steering wheel issue, ect) But rooting can solve a bunch of problem too...
Thank you very much for your help.
Reading both thread above did not really helped me. .. the first one seams to have a bunch of issues. .. and icannot find the second on ebay on simple double din .

This one seams ok... would it be a good choice ?
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301197118041&alt=web
Is it one of the 2 listed above ?
Please give me a little help here!
Even if I read all the descriptions. .. it is always better to ask a person who owns one!
Too easy to waste money buying something you think does all you want! !
Thank you

ive also been on the market and looking but from reading peoples post on different h/u its pretty save to say its all a gamble most of these units are chinese built and the build quality is questionable some units have good features but lack memory the units you may wanna look into more would be the ones with some sort dev support and root those seems to be the ones that if there is an issue at least someone can come up with a solution also you may wanna stay away from h/u that are windows CE as they run android on a top of the windows and may lack android features
Thank you very much for your help.
That is exactly what I thought, a gumble !
After reading the first thread posted above (AN-21U), it seams to have to much issues.
But the other about the 4.2.2 a9 dual core seams very interesting. but I cannot find any of those on ebay searching by the names HuiFei/KGL (KGL), Klyde (KLD) or RoadMaster (RM) !
There is a buch of 4.2.2 a9 dual core.. 1.2ghz, 1.6ghz, 1gb ram, 2Gb ram .. they might all be fake, I cannot know !
It seams all the auction lake on real detail about the product (model #, ect).
Is there anyway I can by certain I order on of the HuiFei/KGL (KGL), Klyde (KLD) or RoadMaster (RM) ?

Hello Martin,
I dont know your car type, but I recomend DX.com for buy things from China. Try to find with: "autoradio" and "android" keyword.
Eg.: Joyous 8" J-8813-8A for VW group cars.
BR, Mark
It is said in my forst post that you quoted, it is a subaru forester 2011 !
Simple double DIN will work in my car, no special fitting is needed !
If I find a good one with RK3066 processor, does that mean this is the right one (from the second link of my first post) ?
Just an example, looking at that file: HuiFei/Klyde/RoadMaster Reference, I clearly see what the Hui Fei and roadmaster look like.
But since there is more info on the Klyde one, this is the one I would like to buy but I cannot see what the head unit look like !
Searching the web for Klyde android car, I see a LOT og different model ... which one is the right one ?
I don't think any Klyde model will work, I need the right one !
Same thing for RoadMaster ... I can find the model I see on the picture on ebay, but no way to be sure it is the right one !
This video is for Klyde: Youtube Video but does not seams to be the one on the file !
If it is, this might be the one I want !
Thank you for your help !
The problem is they are all Chinese built so they tend to be all nock offs of each other you have to get a confirmed hardware specs for the klyde unit and then when you search look for the same hardware its small difference in hardware it could be the GPU or the ram or etc. Even though they all look similar its the internals that will tell you which is which ....I'm currently looking for a unit with 4.4 and 1024*720 screen resolution I found one in a Europe site but am trying to see if I find it on eBay I have a wrx sti ::subie wave::
I see a lot of Ouku that seams good, but as it is not mentioned anyway in here, I guess these are not a good idea to buy !
They where good at one point but now theirs more competition out there

Thank you for sending me this link: New Model, but I find it weird that they wrote: can be upgraded to Android 5.0 .....
I need a little help here !
I have 25Tabs onped on my Chrome, I read everything written here on XDA.
I can see that the RM are bugless, so that might be what I want!
But I find no where I can buy them exect from aliexpress.com, but they are not cheap at all !
This one seams perfect and cheap, but from WinLink ?!?!?! WinLink
Or that one from Zhoon with 7" display that seams good: Zhoon
Or one from Infidini Infidini
All I really want is to be able to charge my cell (1 USB and Built-in Wifi), have my OBDII bluwtooth connected with my cell. And be able to have my music on bluetooth. Also have the reverse camera and steering wheelm control !
They practicly all have these features, but the best is a pure android and being able to root !
All the link I find here to buy one are no longer working, so ther eis no place to buy one.
Except from aliexpress.com where Rm are really expensive, and Ebay where you have no idea what you are buying !!
Please, I want to order one! I am so tired of my Pioneer always crashing in my car !
This is what I am looking for, but I don't want to order 100 of 'em RoadMaster
You want one that is multi channel Bluetooth too if not you either do obd or phone but not both that's something to consider also
Ok, i am really going to buy one, but only need a little piece of advice before i do !
I finally found a klyde not to expensive : klyde
Can i use the bluetooth for anything else then my phone ( with obd dongle for example).
Is the microphone good enough for phone call ?
I have been searching for that model since i see in other threads that they seams to be good. .. with no bugs !
But now that we are already in September, is there better product ?
Maybe this one is better ? http://m.aliexpress.com/item-desc/1948364463.html
please help
Hi All,
I have a question for all you GODS out here. I purchased the EONON GM5153 head unit for VW Passat about a year ago. while everything is running fine and I have really no complaints I would really prefer that the unit ran android so that I could take advantage of better apps like Scout and Waze.
So has anyone converted the EONON GM5153 WINCE to Android? if so what would be the procedure to do so?
Thank you all in advance for your help.
HI i purchased my head unit in january of this year from a chinese manufacturer it works fine with one exception and that is i recently purchased a pair of head rest to add to my vehicle so that my kids can see movies ect. but my surprise only dvd shows on the monitors i checked the monitors against another source and they work fine so it took me back to the head unit i've reached the issue over the internet and found many others have the same issue.
Can anyone help solve the problem as it seems to be a programing/software issue i could be wrong. but i really need your help.
Thanks in advance.
