Yes better than stock one. I bought it few years ago and use as my Huawei Phone default player too.

Hi guys,

Need help.

Couple days ago, i still can download from play store.

Today, when i try to download / install anything in playstore, it keep showing "pending" for hour.

When i try using my phone play store, can download / install normally. Only the Android head unit in the car cannot.

Other function of the head unit working fine, wifi, navigation all ok.

Any solution? What would be the issue?

Question on changing to Android HU as my existing stock HU already death (Radio Fuse work fine). I was told get HU below will cost RM1188 including installation (around 2 hours plus/minus) with casing included (10" casing):

- UIS7862(S) Okta Cores
- 4GB RAM and 32GB Storage
- 10 inches QLED screen (not 2K)

Is this a good deal?
*
Get 4G (6G/8G if budget no issue, but i think is overkill since we do not run so many things inside car). Am using 2G (due to tight budget), opening map a bit slow.

In my opinion. RM1000+ including installation and casing sound very reasonable. So many brands and seller out there, please select good reputable seller / brands.

this kind of thing, i try not to buy online and install ourselves, just in case got spoilt unit, very "mafan".

may be visit 2-3 reputable car accessories shop and do some comparison before installing.

I always believe, if nothing broke, dont fix it.

If the unit is running smoothly, why go update filmware.

thanks; these HU OS cannot be updated?

Hi bro,

Sincere advice from existing 2GB user, save more and buy the 4GB or above player since the $$$ different not that much. It will worth the extra $$$ spent.

There is no need to update the system la, using for few years change new one. After updating, got problem lagi susah.

Exactly what I was thinking so should be okay right ? If buy 2gb or 4gb not much difference? Android 11 vs 13 any difference? Since I’ll be using for apple carplay only even a cheaper one should be fine? I’m not much into watching netflix while driving anyway
*
I would suggest you go for the 4gb + 4g sim card type.

I m using the 2gb version, loading map, google etc would be slow.

the price diff is only few hundred buck. You may not know may be a year down the road you may need to use the android unit instead of Carplay / AC.

It is always convenient to use the player instead of Carplay.

Mine 2+64 can load maps, just slow, not fast like phone.

Once the maps is loaded and running, it will run as good as phone speed.

Just the loading time is so slow hahaha.

Not sure if there is any huge diff if using 7862S 4+64 vs 2+64 in maps loading speed?

Can share the link for the local seller please? Budget around Rm500 can get a decent HU?
Can't decide between 32GB or 64GB.  hmm.gif I guess 64GB usually will cost around 700-800.
If I get 32GB, I can plugin USB for extra storage space for downloaded podcast/music/video.

Bro,

You should focus on the RAM (4gb and above), not the storage.

Storage will not affect performance unlike RAM.

Storage can be extended via external USB, no issue at all.

Use your money to get a higher gb unit better.

Did you recently update any of the app from playstore or auto update?

Any update on the OS?

No, i did not. Normally, i will not do any updates.

Last night, in the main drop down menu, i clicked the "system clean" button, it seems like clearing something (like what we see in our phone).

After that, it seems working fine.

So weird, any ideas what cause this?

Anyone here had this problem with your android HU? Recently I bought an android HU TS100 and copied all my mp3 collection into it. I don't really like the default music player that comes with the HU, so I installed other player from play store. But the problem is the music player cannot find my mp3 songs even though it can scan my folders. Only the default ori player can play my mp3s. This is really depressing because the purpose I am buying this is to listen to my songs cry.gif

Copy your songs to a usb drive, then read from usb should be alright.

Soundstream Malaysia!

Android player as follows:

💥 *Ultra Series* 💥
8GB + 256GB (2k Screen)
8GB + 128GB
4GB + 64GB (2k Screen)
4GB + 64GB
⭐Android auto/Apple Carplay support
⭐2 year warranty
⭐360 camera support (Add on/Upgradable)

Hi, thinking to replace the player for Honda City Gm6. Wondering if android player+360 camera with 4G+ 64GB is sufficient?
*
Yes, sufficient.

But with the price you got from Soundstream, you can get better spec and deal else where.

From my view, Soundstream pricey.

Hi, if don't mind sharing, what would be the alternative android brands? Mohawk / Dynavin?

Actually, if you do not mind, you may forget about brands. Those come with brands are basically over-priced.

I believe most ppl will agreed, 90% android head units in the market (brand or non-brand) are sourced from China mainland, meaning inside the head unit, more or less same.

Just shop at the shoppe and choose 4gb-8gb non-brand, with the similar price tag as the branded one, you can get 6gb-8gb.

Note: I dont think brand like Mohawk. Soundstream, Dynavin will develop / invent the player themselves without the economy of scale.

hello sifu here, is there any way to change the default music player of head unit? I know all android head unit is different but they kinda same same but different

I have tried to find it in settings but couldn't find it

Hi bro,

With the default stock home launcher = i do not think you can change the default music player.

What you can do = go playstore, download free or buy 3rd party launcher (Carlauncher, Agama launcher etc). those launcher allows you to add or replace the app in home screen, and set default app for music, video etc.
