Re: [AE0273B] How to upgrade Pumpkin AA0273B car stereo to Android 9.0

Yes, I have to say I agree. Hopeless service. There are silly bugs still present three generations of device later, like the balance fader constantly resetting randomly. I've reported it multiple times now and they just fob me off each time. Just poor quality code that never improves. Trouble is, th...

Re: [AE0273B] How to upgrade Pumpkin AA0273B car stereo to Android 9.0

An update after a couple of weeks use. Same old annoying bugs unfortunately: 1. Fader doesn't work properly. I set it to forward to have the volume in the front two speakers only. It initially works, but then randomly the sounds starts coming out of all 4 speakers again. In the amplifier fader scree...

Re: [AE0273B] How to upgrade Pumpkin AA0273B car stereo to Android 9.0

Hi. I certainly would not recommend anyone try this unless they are competent at sideloading and Android recovery procedures. However, it shouldn't be this hard. Might I suggest a better update process? Most Android devices have OTA or simple file based updates rather than hacking about like this. I...

Re: [AE0273B] How to upgrade Pumpkin AA0273B car stereo to Android 9.0

I finally managed to get my AE0273B upgraded after a few heart stopping blank screen moments. The update.zip image must be installed via USB. Trying via SD Card just doesn't work. The problem I had is the recovery menu system does not work with any of the buttons or the dial. So you cannot select op...

Re: [AE0273B] How to upgrade Pumpkin AA0273B car stereo to Android 9.0

Re: [New Release AA0513B] Pumpkin 10.1 Inch Android 10 Double Din Car Stereo with Rotating Screen (4G+64G)

Only useful if you own that VW! I'm just curious as to why you seem to be staying with 1024x600 screens still? Surely suitable 7" and 10" HD panels are readily available now. A lot of Android applications do not display properly with this low resolution. I certainly do not see me ever upgr...

Re: [New Release AA0513B] Pumpkin 10.1 Inch Android 10 Double Din Car Stereo with Rotating Screen (4G+64G)

Great looking product. Why still a low 1024x600 screen though rather than HD? Surely higher resolution screens are readily available now?

Re: [New Release] Pumpkin AA0405B 7" Android 9.0 Universal Applicable Infotainment System Car Stereo

Thanks for the info. Are there any plans for Pumpkin to move to the PX6 RK3399 SoC? It has two A72 cores in addition to the A53's and a much enhanced Mali GPU. The current octacore A53 only chip that Pumpkin uses doesn't support the GPU functions needed for the TomTom Navigation app to display the r...

Re: New units with panel size (173 x 98)

I've got the opposite problem with my Android 8 Universal unit. The unit's front bezel is much thicker than the older units. It's now 15mm deep. This means the unit does not sit flush to my dashboard - the deep bezel hits the DIN cage before the unit is fully flush. The older unit I had fitted perfe...
