The radio from the BMW is useless for about a month now and the radio of the Golf is getting worser everyday.
The decision to pay a bit more for a Pumpkin radio instead of another reasonable and lower priced Chinese radio was the service from Pumpkin, they where unbelievable quick with answering my questions when I had the plan to buy a Pumpkin radio but it looks like nobody is home when you have problems with it. And another thing, when I start reading on the forum I am not the only one with this and all the other problems so it has nothing to do with age whatsoever.
It's ridiculous that I need to wait for one month to solve a problem. The only thing I know now is that I need to send an email to customer support and I did....

You need to tell them your order number or ebay id so that they can confirm your unit . i suggest you show them an short video to help them understand your query and find the cause.

2 months ago the BMW pumpkin radio started to have dead spots in the touchscreen. A few lines/area's on the screen did not respond at all and now only 1,5cm from the top responds and the rest is dead, so the radio is useless now and I spend about an our to reach the firmware info in the settings menu. Tried a full factory reset/wipe and reset button. does not solve the problem, unplugged the radio and that does not solve the problem either.
Just a few days ago the Pumpkin radio in the Golf started to have the same issues, a few lines of the touch screen are dead. not really annoying but sometimes you need to press a button on exactly that place on the screen. It scares me a bit that this screen will die too same as the Pumpkin in the BMW so I'm looking for a solution.
Another thing. Both radio's are having some strange bugs in exactly the same sequence and time after a full factory reset. The most annoying thing is that the "forward/reverse" button is not working or only "reverse" and after a day or two it does'nt work at all and then de "return" button becomes a "mute" button. Factory reset/wipe does'nt work at a situation like that but I found out that the reset button does the job, works like a charm then for a few days and then the shit starts again. Looks like a firmware bug but still strange that it started after about a year, and again the 2 months older radio started with that problem 2 months earlyer.
The Pumpkin radio in the Golf has a DAB+ module, worked also perfect for about a half year and then it started to hang on the same radio station. You can switch between radio stations, then you see it switching to another radiostation but keeps playing the same radiostation. Does not finetune while driving when that problem occurs and after a few kilometer it stops because it does not search for the nearest DAB+ transmitter. Again the same, reset button does the job and works fine then for a few days when the shit starts again.
But for now the most important thing is the touchscreens. I'm a bit disappointed about that after al the softwarebugs and I'm stuck now with 2 broken Pumpkin radio's just out of warranty...
