Choose and Purchase Your Android Head Unit Upgrade
Select the feature first. Compatibility is checked from your System Info, MCU, platform, build number and app screen before activation or file delivery.
An Android head unit software upgrade can add or restore supported features without replacing the complete stereo. Compatibility must be confirmed from the Android version, MCU, CPU or platform, build number, AppVer and installed application screen.
Check Compatibility Before Buying an Android Head Unit Upgrade
Screen size, vehicle model and the displayed Android version are not enough to select firmware or an activation package. Two visually identical units may use different motherboards and software.
Android versionUseful background information, but not a complete platform ID.
MCU versionHelps identify hardware-control and firmware compatibility.
CPU / platformExamples include Topway, FYT, XY-AUTO, NWD and HC/MTK.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to remove the dashboard or cut wires?
These are software services and normally do not require dashboard removal or wire cutting. The required tools vary: some orders use a code, while others may require a USB drive, Windows computer or guided file installation.
How do I know whether my Android car stereo is compatible?
Send the full System Info page, MCU, CPU or platform, build number, AppVer and the relevant application screen. Compatibility cannot be confirmed from the vehicle model or Android version alone.
Is the service a one-time purchase or a subscription?
It depends on the product. Boot-screen and some activation services are one-time purchases. iLauncher license duration and Toppal options depend on the selected product listing. Review the product page before payment.
What happens when the requested feature is incompatible?
FixMyDash will review the evidence and explain the available route. Refund or replacement handling follows the terms of the purchased product and the information supplied with the order.
Does Toppal Voice Assistant work without internet?
Availability depends on the Toppal version, language and command. Functions that use online search, streaming, weather or online navigation generally require an internet connection.
Can 3D Car Model activation add a physical 360° camera system?
No. It is a software or interface activation for supported units. It cannot add missing cameras, radar sensors, wiring or a physical panoramic-camera system.
Can I use my own image or video for the boot screen?
Yes, when the head unit and selected package support it. The material may need to be resized or converted to the correct resolution, duration and file format.
Will activation delete my apps and settings?
A normal supported activation should not be treated as a factory reset, but risks vary by procedure and firmware. Back up important settings and follow only the supplied instructions.
Can dealers purchase several activation services together?
Yes. Bulk enquiries are accepted, but each compatible device may require an individual code, license or activation record.
Check Your Android Head Unit Before Purchasing an Upgrade
Send your System Info, MCU, platform, build number and requested feature. FixMyDash will use those details to review the suitable software upgrade or activation route.
Compatibility and required resolution must be confirmed before installation. A successful checkout does not make an unsupported firmware compatible.
