- Yes, I did it, all of them. Let's call it educational purposes. When I mention CPU, you can consider me referencing the SOC.
And I'll keep the spreadsheet updated for new units as I review them.

Do NOT buy a head unit based on just their benchmark scores!!!!!

You're doing God's work, sir. Thanks for being the authority on Android head units!
Very nice Stuart. You are a real authority on android head units. I am seeing some units coming with AKM sound chips. That puts them in a premium sound category.
Any idea which ones?
Medeke m6 pro. It will even do 5.1 and dts. Pretty big for those with a center channel if true.
The MaXpeedingrods Q96 has the 5.1 with 8 fully controllable channels and all for $174 USD. Apparently the internal amp is not very good but the pre amp RCA outputs are all at or near 4 volts
Thanks for the information, you are literally the best source for head units information
Could you start testing the pre amp voltage on the RCA’s? Seems to be a thing that android head units struggle with
i just bought an EKIY head unit, hoping it will be up to the expectations after these reviews! cant wait:))
I've been watching your videos lately, and I really appreciate how you test and recommend excellent budget-friendly Android units. While I don't have a large budget, I was considering the ESSGOO AR9001. However, I'm not entirely convinced since it doesn't seem to be a great unit. Do you have any other low-cost options that you would recommend? Thank you, and greetings from Mexico
This is amazing, something i wished LTT did more, you do even probably better
LTT just hired an entire team and bought a new building specifically to perform in-depth technical reviews like this en-masse in the future
Excellent videos! Please consider looking into the digital dash (speedometer) installs for Jeep Grand Cherokee (2013 preferably)
Thank you so much for these! Do you happen to have a specific radio you would wholeheartedly suggest for a 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero?
Amazing, great video for somebody (like me) who is still unsure which unit to go for. One note on the spreadsheet you shared: could you add a column with the currency code (EUR, USD, AUD, GBP, etc) of each price? It would be interesting to compare the score/$ ratio and you can only do it if you compare the units all with the same currency base. I volunteer to amend the spreadsheet for you if you DM me
Awesome content!
I really enjoy watching your reviews. I have recently purchased a SmartyTrend unit for a Mitsubishi Pajero. I purchased this unit for its plug and play capability for the Pajero. I would really like your opinion on the SmartyTrend head unit. Have I made a mistake?
Great Video! When is the teyes vs mekede video coming out?
I'm going to do that as part of a "Top 3" or "Top 5" a bit later in the year
@@SaabUnleashed Awesome can't wait for that video. For now, do you think it's worth paying more for the software of Teyes?
@@AlanSpawn it's definitely better software, even more so if you buy their accessories. It's down to you if you want to pay the difference :)
@@SaabUnleashed Thanks for the Help! Keep up the great work.
Hi. Thanks for all the info and the knowledge shared. Can you suggest a head unit suitable for the 2019 Hyundai Ioniq? Thanks in advance.
Your content is amazing! Last HU I bought was an Xtrons PX5 in 2017, I've changed cars so time for a new unit.... Do you think the Xtrons PEP series is ok? 2gb ram worries me but if it's as fast as the px5 was then I've got no complaints. The spdif coaxial out is a godsend... my other choice is a Joying but it's double the price.... would really appreciate your opinion thanks
Thank you very much for your video, it helps many people to buy a decent head unit. I'm also in doubt about a head unit and I don't really know if it's fast enough since it's a 12.3 inch screen, a larger screen obviously needs a bit more computing power. It is a 12.3 inch screen with an 8 core AC8259L chip with 6GB ram and 128 memory. Is this sufficient for such a screen?
What is your opinion?
Great job.
Do you know anything about CAWELL or TPXINXIN Android Car Head Units?
Did you ever hear about KAPUD, ERISIN, AVISON, JUNSUN, AWESAFE, PODOFO, HIKITY, ANKEWAY, or RIMOODY?
Very helpful info.
I've been trying to decide for some time to add a unit in my car, but I'm afraid of poor manufacturing and poor support from these companies. Also, some of them are fire hazardous ones.
Would you consider Ekiy T7 an amazing deal that could send away all my concerns? Or should I choose some other unit? Like CC3 for example.
I really can't decide.
Afaict, the cc3 seems like the best out right now. I would DEFINITELY stay away from Atoto. I have had 2 and 1 completely shit the bed and the other has major problems. Atoto customer service has been AWFUL. THEY COMPLETELY screwed me over.
Nice job. Any chance you could add in a column for screen size in your spreadsheet? This so that it's easier to sort on what's going to fit into a specific slot. For me for example, I can only stretch to a 7" unit. Great how people can think up more work for you to do ain't it...
Might do, although you'll find I listed the 7 inch screen size with the names
Awesome work as always, best head unit channel by far. Do you think its worth upgrading a PX5 to a PX6, just thinking if I swap the head unit out than it will make it an easier sale or more usual going forward if I give it to a family member. It's like £120.00 for the board from Aliexpress.
Massive difference in performance between them but still only half as fast as the 7862a
Another great video. Could you please do a benchmark for an android head unit with the mediatek 8667L?
Do you have a specific head unit in mind
Hi I need some advice and hopefully you can help. I've recently fitted an Xtrons unit to my car and I'm experiencing terrible voice quality over the Bluetooth handsfree with both the internal Mic and a secondary wired in one.
People complain it sounds like I'm very far away from the microphone sometimes and it's breaking up the call. I can only think it could be the background noise cancelling feature but I don't know how to make it better.
Any advice?
Great channel btw.
Do you know how to find which units use OGS screens? OGS for the car HU means that the color when off during the day would be black (with reflections), non OGS would be gray or silver.
Or can you please point out which ones do have OGS screens?
The results in your spreadsheet are interesting to me. The QCM6125 is a significantly newer SoC, and scores 50% to 75% better in head-to-head benchmarks than the UIS7862a. In addition, the UIS7862a can only use 6gb of RAM, whereas the QCM6125, which is a Snapdragon 665, can use up to 8gb. Also, the latter runs Android 12, where as the 7862 runs Android 10. What gives?
Hi, Great work, any chance you can bench mark the Mekede M300S, wanted to know how the 3GRAM compared to M500s 4GRAM, with the UI7862 chipset.
Hi. Got a Saab 9-3 aero convertible)facelift. One 0:42 of the first upgrade I did was the head unit ( pioneer da230dab). I have real trouble viewing it in sunlight and when the tops down. Forget it. Is there an android head unit that you can recommend. And would they be any better in sunshine. Ideally to fit flush in the space but if it doesn’t then not to worry. Many thanks simon.
Have been following your videos for long. I am looking to get my 2014 Audi Q5 premium an upgrade with android head unit. Can you suggest me any good? My car came with factory made Audi concert system. Thanks a lot!
Great video! Is it possible to flash the different firmwares of UIS7862a onto one another? Can I buy an ATOTO and make it indistinguishable from a Teyes CC3 for example?
No, that's not possible. Whilst they share the same SOC, the rest of the hardware differs wildly between brands
Curious if there is a cable I can use to use the stock SiriusXM antenna on an aftermarket stereo. I have a 2008 9-5 sedan and the stock tuner is all the way in the back but the only adaptor cable I can find are just a few inches long.
I'd like to see you review the Mekede M6 Pro Max 13-inch 2K unit.
I will see what I can do about that, although you'll more than likely find it is identical to the 9 inch 2k model that I reviewed, just bigger
Hi! Can you help me? I have a 9" junsun V1 Pro on my Audi A6 2001 and physically it's awful big and definitely not integrated on the car design. I was thinking of getting the Xtrons PE72AA6 but would like your expert opinion on both or another solution for my car please. thank you!
yes, stress them out, I want to be able to connect my Xbox One controller and play some games while I'm parked. Sometimes I need to wait in the car and that's a great way to do so
Hey bro, I recently bought a Chinese unit which claims to have 4GB RAM and 32GB internal. But I doubt that it has that. How can I find it accurately? Even CPU-Z shows it has 4GB total RAM but only 900MB available
Bihera 7862a, 6gb ram
Single core :364
Multi core : 1428
With geekbench 5... 1428 seems a very very good score !!
+ antutu 183000
So regarding to the excel spreadsheet it's the best of all ? in single core bench and second in multi ? ^^
I've just bought a 7inch 2 din head unit from Bosion for my zafira AC8257 64 bit using 4+64gb ram. Seems fast but not on your list. Would be nice to know it's bench mark rating. Great video BTW.
Hey Steven, So yours has 4gb RAM and 64gb of storage. I have geekbenched a AC8257v from a different head unit which scored 331 for a multi-core CPU score, which makes it one of the slower head units, however nowhere near the slowest. If it's fast enough for your requirement, that's the main thing
what do you think of junsun
Can you suggest a head unit suitable for a 2003 Chevrolet tahoe z71 bigger screen the better Android auto mirror link gps navigation Bluetooth dor around 400 or under u.s. dollars any helps appreciated
Anyone having issues with battery drain when key off? I see a lot about dead batteries after parking for extended times.
What are the differences between UIS7862a vs UIS7862s?
Could you do a video on the impact of different android versions? When shopping for a head unit I was very confused why most on the market seem to run android 10 while phones are now up to Android 13. I could only find a very small amount that say they are running versions 12 but forums seem to point to some of these even faking the version of Android.
Hi Luke, it is correct that most use Android 10. Most feature upgrades after Android 10 were designed with phones and tablets in mind with regards to the apps you'd be using on them. There's really no point looking for a later version of Android for a car radio
@@SaabUnleashed Thanks for replying so quickly. Good to know I wouldn't be missing out on any features in that case. I'd still be a little concerned if they also aren't getting security updates.
@@EKUL34 Yes, you absolutely should be concerned about security updates.
It's an unwritten rule that you should never use your main Google credentials on an Android head unit.
Ultimately, security is not an issue if you don't keep sensitive data on your car radio.
@@SaabUnleashed Thank you, i'll do that
Can you also Bench Ainavi?
Do you think im gonna be able to tell the different between 3gb and 4gb of the same 7862 HU....i should go for the cheaper one if there's no significant different right..?
Benchmarks show that increasing the ram doesn't improve the CPU performance, however it depends on your specific usage.
If you're going to be running a ton of apps simultaneously, then more RAM will benefit you
There is no correlation with ram amount ever. It’s ram speed you’d have to look for and that will make a difference for the amount of resources available
For me there is, at least some. If the rams amount is so low🙂...we often stumble upon really sluggish Android tv device as the result of too low 1gb ram in board..
@@my2prxmy2prx78 yes a low ram amount will also amount in bottlenecking. But you will get better performance out of an electronic if there is less ram with higher speeds than more ram with lower speeds. Preferably you would want to have more ram 4-8 with high speeds. I don’t what speeds these ram run at but I imagine it’s pretty low
Now i really wanna customize my head unit with amd z1 extreme and 144hz oled panel
A little but overkill for a car radio :)
Hi Stu. I love videos. Brilliant work. I try as I may, but I can't find any EKIY T7 or T8 head units that specify that have the 7862 processor. I've looked at the high-end models. Not sure what I missing. I really don't want to buy a head unit with an inferior processor. Please point me in the right direction. BTW: it's for a 2018 Toyota HILUX. I appreciate any help from anybody. Cheers!
Hello my friend, I was wondering if you could recommend a decent single din unit that I can use to just replace my stock CD player in the fibre optic saab 9-3. Many thanks in advance.
Nothing will be plug and play in that car. And flip out screen models won't work in the location of the factory CD player because the dashboard is slanted, so the screen will be tilted downwards.
Ultimately, yo can only install a basic head unit without a screen in place of the original CD player.
If you're more adventurous, you can follow the he guide on my channel on how to retrofit a proper touch screen head unit in that car.
@@SaabUnleashed Thanks for your reply. I will reconsider changing out the CD player based on your advice and I appreciate it. I was looking at the cheap £100 single din touch screen amazon ones but I will now pass and proably just stick as is.
I did consider making the iCM2 conversion as you have shown in previous videos but I fear the screen is quite small and I even more so considered upgrading to your iCM3 touch screen but the cost of buying the iCM3 online and then the kit is allot.
I appreciate your advice you saved me wasting £100 on an amazon special.

Hey! I bought a BMW 1 series 2010 on Saturday and im having trouble with the speaker quality.
The car came with an aftermarket head unit linked below. Ive gone through all the audio settings on the screen, watched endless UA-cam videos but cant seem to find anything which helps the audio.
Can anyone help me with this? Took it to Halfords today and the audio technician wasn’t sure if it was the speakers themselves or the screen thats been fitted. The speakers do go loudish, but compared to my old car (2011 Ford Fiesta) the audio from my BMW is much worse. I just cant seem to believe a Fiesta has better audio than a BMW.
All the speakers work its just the quality doesn’t sound the best- I’m unsure whether it’s the new fitted screen (which was installed before I had the car) or the speakers themselves.
Tried everything on the screen as I said but all the settings just seem to be downloaded apps from the play store which are like equalisers which just worsen the quality.
There’s no rumble to the speakers, they don’t go anywhere near as loud as my old car. I’m all about music and want it to sound right so any help is welcome please.
I even took the car to a car audio specialist yesterday and he said that the speakers sounded pretty quiet. He also said the 1 series from 2010 have pretty bad speakers anyway.
My question to you would be do i upgrade the speakers or the head unit? I know its probably worth upgrading both but i just wondered what your opinion would be and what speakers/ head unit to go for!
thanks so much for reading! I really need some help as I love listening to music- I have linked the product below
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165680418829?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=eexxu-imqp-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=kvb25cn7rq6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=FB_MSG&fbclid=IwAR02yhq9-QooizVsatoRwAUBQ2a6Z6oWuLlKLHOADoX97gi9qdy1fvZ-O2s
That's a very basic no-name head unit which doesn't appear to have DSP (digital sound/signal processing). This could be the reason why you're unable to tune the head unit to sound good. However, the only way you're going to know is to replace the head unit. I would not be replacing speakers for a cheapo head unit like that. With a better head unit, you can assess the requirement to start changing speakers
@@SaabUnleashed thanks so much mate! what would you recommend to fit in my BMW 1 series (2010) something with wireless apple car play and a decent audio output?
My Question is: Does head unit speed matter when using android auto with a flagship phone.
No it does not
Thinking of a hipzo S8 which is just a generic uis7862/7851 amp.
Any good?
I'd have to play with one to give an opinion, I'm actually waiting for one of this brand at the mo
@@SaabUnleashed Excellent can't wait for your review 👍
Was the ekiy tested the T7 from your link, specs look good with the 7862/7838 amp, any info?
I watched your review it was the T7 which spec wise looks really good, just not sure on the tda7838 powering 4 components speakers.
I just make Geekbench6 test on my headunit, it's uis7862s soc , single score 429, multi score 1302 ,vulkan gpu score 779
So, the uis7862s soc is faster than the uis7862a?
@@donnyyeo I think yess
Quite sad that fastest cpu in those is low end chip by unisoc. Altrouh iknow now there are some low end snapdragon units, but probably they will use weird mcus and not MTC.
Y some of this android head unit temperature in Celsius and not F ?
I mean, who uses F any more? :D
@@SaabUnleashed what I mean is Celsius to Fahrenheit. Is there any unit android have Fahrenheit available. Teyes don’t have it. This is on my GX 470
@@phong333nguyen I know what you meant, I was joking with you :P What do you mean the head unit doesn't support Fahrenheit? It's Android. Just install an app which does.
