I checked the factory settings, it is not possible to turn on VIDEO OUT.
Is there a workaround to get the monitors in the headrests working?
Is there a workaround to get the monitors in the headrests working?
I have a Skoda Superb which had a cheap CE headunit when I bought it. That gave a compass bearing to the in car display. I replaced it with a MTCD headunit and lost the compass display - so I would say that MTCD units do not supply this. However some VAG cars (which don't come with the more expensive oem satnav units) have a separate compass sensor. It is possible to get that sensor, install it and configure canbus to use it instead of the satnav integral compass.

I think this will help with discussion on these head units and help improve everyone's experience

A comparison between PX3 and PX5 can be found posted here by @FauxDreams with some previous discussion on PX5 in that thread as well:
PX3 Vs. PX5 initial impressions, some issues/findings after a day of ownership etc
Some information I found on the CPU:
Rockchip PX5 Press Release11*Warning: Do not install 1024x600 fw on 800x480 HU*
It has been reported that it will not display properly once installed.
An update usually consist of two files:
The Android ROM (update.zip) and it is usually compatible with any head unit of the same model (MTCD) and CPU (PX5).
The MCU (dmcu.img) is specific for each manufacturer and it should never be updated on other manufacturer's MCU update file (unpredicted response from physical buttons - or CAN bus responses, or bricking the unit).
However, it has been tested and confirmed that JY, KD, GD and now HA MCU are cross-compatible Verified cross compatible MCU thread (thanks for info @marchnz(
Update at your own risk!
Installation instruction:
Unzip update.img to the root of the GPS SD Card.
Make sure you Don't include the dmcu.img if your MCU does not match the MCU of the firmware.
