Android head unit problem

[johndobson]

Hi all
I have a Chinese head unit fitted in a hyundai i10, a direct replacement for the original radio.
Anyway, there was a system update, px5, I downloaded it over the Internet and installed it.
Now everything is huge, the screen is a bluey purple and I can't do anything with it. Seems the resolution is wrong?
I would do a factory reset , but can't see anything.
This what's on the back of it

Px5
Jpx53p0byz serial number
1.5ghz
4gb
Cpu
Android10
8× arm cortex A53 @1.5ghz
I have had it into an audio radio shop today, he says he has emailed someone in china to see if there is something they can suggest.

is there a fix or is it binned?

You need to look in the about device section in the settings on your head unit and find the MCU.
I think a PX5 can also be an MTCD device? but check your MCU anyway.

I can't, everything is massive and I can't see the screen

And from where did you download the update? That's also an indication for your type of unit.

And what is the resolution of your unit and for which resolution was your upgrade?

It popped up on the unit itself so I installed it just as I would with my phone

That means that it is an OTA update. That is not supported by older FYT units like your PX5.
That means that your unit is not a FYT unit but most likely a MTCD unit.
Not much expertise here in the FYT forum apart from a few who switched from MTC to FYT. I will ask the moderators to move this thread to the MTCx forum. Hopefully they can help you.

If you don't know what MCU you have, it's hard to advise. If you have an HDMI output, connect it to the monitor and find out what MCU you have. Sometimes there is a Mini HDMI on the processor board, but you have to disassemble the device or take a picture of the label on the processor board.
