Hi, guys. Looking for car player with / without Andorid function. Must have at least mirror link so that I can view Waze/ Google Maps on it. Budget around RM1000 , can go slightly higher. Just wondering, is Andorid player a gimmick ? Just worried that it will slow down over time , would mirror link a better options when it comes to navigation ?

Any suggestion ? I saw some Nakamichi / Sounstream brand aorund RM1000. Or anyone can suggest better brand ?

Saw this, seems a good deal. Anyone can comment on this ? OR should I get those unbranded android player instead ?

If you want to just use waze/spotify, you don't need mirror link. Just Android Auto. Cheapest Android Auto supported HU that I bought was this : https://www.lazada.com.my/products/i2850921...ls.item_title.1
Note that this also says that it supports mirroring. but honestly I don't use it because Android Auto is more than enough



7862 seems to be going up in price, so RM900+ ish seems about right. I bought mine before Aidilfitri for RM800. Can't find this price anymore :V
If you want something cheaper, TS18 player are around RM500~RM600. I would recommend this if you are not using 360 camera as the 3GB model is more than enough for daily use.

For installation. the rule of thumb is RM60 = install head unit + RM60 = install rear view camera.

Glad to know that the car player that support Android auto isnt that expensive. Yes, I nned Waze, Google MAps , Spotify . Saw some branded HU like Pioneer, Sony , JVC that support Mirrorlink around RM600, but dont' support Android Auto... Do you think that Mirrorlink is usable ? Mirrorlink can only operate on the phone, and cast whatever shown on phone to the HU, right ? Andorid auto means that I can operate directly on screen ?

Yep
MirrorLink means you are copying/mirroring whatever is on your screen. AndroidAuto means you have separate view for phone and head unir, which is why I prefer AndroidAuto.

With mirroring, your phone needs to be on all the time. With AA, you can lock your phone and still control via the head unit.

doesnt matter if ur choice is 7862 or ts10. both are good options and good chipset, that came with good radio chip and sound processor. btw both almost same in hardware, the diff only on the firmware side.

ts18 for rm980 seem expensive for me, because of that branding. if not, if you buy other non brand ts18 also seem good because it use same fm chip ts10.

for AA, once you hv android car player, its basically useless because u can do more with it rather than AA.

I can still find 1 for 7862 (3+32) RM700+ perhaps i should just get it before going up again.. btw... should I buy the casing on my own? cause if buy online.. casing + plug = RM30 only

i don't listen to radio anyway haha.. mostly just spotify + waze

then u will appreciate the DSP /sound processor. it will give u more good sound quality even on standard speaker.

Is the Saga flx in the video? Do you need to get extra casing? You diy to install? How's the performance? i just wanna replace the stock player

1 - Yes Saga FL
2 - No casing. Any 7" player SHOULD in theory fit
3 - Yes, I need to DIY. The original player has a curved face plate, while 3rd party head unit has a flat one. So you need some cutting the plastic front to make it fit. Also the aluminium bracket needs some loving and tender hammering. You also need some ISO extender and antenna wire extender (both very cheap) since the origina proton head unit has these cables extends into the back, while third party ones are built into the body itself, so the original cable might not reach it. Luckily Proton uses ISO connectors so you won't need socket converters.
4 - It works well. For an RM200'ish head unit, it detects my phone and runs android auto without fail every time. My only issue (and this is a BLM/FL/FLX issue) is that the radio placement at the bottom means you need to look down to use it. Which is not ideal if you are running waze/google maps. There are some shops that offers modifying your Saga BLM/FL/FLX dash, so your head unit is on the middle of the dashboard instead of down below so you can see it better. But I am not keen on drilling my dashboard to do it

Thanks for the info! The placement is the player is really at an awkward position, if send to outside accessories shop they should be able to install it easily right?

Yep. They should have a better idea on to install it nicely instead of how I did it 😅

ok, let me look around before deciding if i wanna get this

Hi, guys. May i know what's 7862 and ts10 ? Both are processor name like intel or amd ? Different manufacturer will produce their own player using wither 7862 and ts10 ?

There are many types and model of TS10 and 7862 on the market, I am confused....

I’m using this unit from this seller

https://shopee.com.my/product/51249843/6569...38-1661559352.9

Running on Teyes CC3 firmware and pack with lots of apps.

When I ordered from them, I assume China wrongly packed the android player. Paid for 3Gb ram 32GB memory but end up receiving 4GB ram 64GB memory when the player clearly put a sticker 32GB variant.

untung laaaaaa

Hi I want to upgrade my KIA Rio ICE, which is better option?
1) Existing factory HU + DSP + amps/speakers/passive sub
2) a 7862/TS10 android player + amps/speakers/passive sub
3) branded Sony/Pioneer HU + DSP + amps/speakers/passive sub

the amps/speakers/passive sub is existing from old hobby

its like a phone. where chipset is sell by the chipset manufacturer, eg like qualcomm produce snapdragon 8 series of chipset, together already with modem chip, wifi, bluetooth chip etc. and phone manufacturer ( xiaomi, samsung, vivo, etc) take this hardware, put their own design and then use google android source code, compile their own skin addon their special features etc.

7862 and TS10 have same chipset, same cpu, radio chip, sound processor chip etc. but both have diff firmware, and diff display screen. and this chipset, seem use by diff android manufacturer company and put their own branding, even those its the same things inside. even firmware also same. and some have customized firmware and product package with proper warranty, better OLED display eg like the Teyes company, hence by the price for this teyes CC3 is much more expensive than generic brand that use same 7862 chipset.
