PUMPKIN CAR STEREO SUPPORT CENTER

Hi,

Im really tempted by these android units. I appreciate they aren't 100% perfect, but I guess I can be quite forgiving, but have a couple of questions.

I'll be buying the Focus mk2.5 (oval) unit so...

1) As far as I can work out, 4.4 is currently the only option for this model?
2) Is it upgradable to 5.0/5.1 in the future
3) Can you root the device and use any other firmware (including a vanilla 5.0 if I want to?
4) Is there any way for Tomtom to be installed and work? I know there are issues, I'm happy to hack around if there is a fix available, but I really want tomtom (I pay for traffic on ios etc)
5) Can the dvd drive / player play music cds?
6) I already have a reversing camera - can this be used, or do I need to use the pumpkin camera?
7) Ford use Canbus. Can the unit read Canbus information from the PCM/GEM without the need for a wifi or bluetooth OBD device?
8) Finally, can the device be constantly connected to the internet when I'm in the car via personal hotspot on ios rather than a 4G USB dongle? Does this work?

Now I also want the DAB box so...

9) Is the pumpkin dab box a better option than the dab usb sticks you can get for android?
10) Is the DAB app as good as the radio app, and are there any odd things I should be aware of?
11) Can the DAB box be connected at the same time as the freeview TV box?

Also how do pumpkin compare to the other 2 main manufacturers....

Thanks for any help, and hope to repay the favour when I buy!

Hi, could you please take a photo of your original radio and send it to us?

This unit come with android 4.4 system, and cause we have already released the new android 5.1 universal unit, the factory told us the android 5.1 update firmware was not available on android 4.4 unit.
You can try to use the TomTom or other online maps, such as google maps and waze.
This unit have the special power cable with canbus box for your car, but this unit does not support the factory reversing camera, you can buy the aftermarket reversing camera from us.
If you want to get the DAB box, you can also buy it from us, more information you can check our website listing.

Jammy,

Thanks for the info.

Sorry it's not an OEM reversing camera - it's just a crappy thing I bought off ebay. Fairly simple thing,

My radio is this one:

Mk2.5 (oval) Sony DAB (so I can reuse the dab aerial.

What are the benefits of 5.1 over 4.4?

Also can I reuse the built in microphone from my OEM bluetooth or not?

Thanks for replying

WIth the DAB box, and maybe DVT box too...

Hi, the android 5.1 system may be more compatible with aftermarket apps, but the android 4.4 system has more stable operation.
Sorry that this unit does not support the built in microphone from your OEM bluetooth, but our unit also has the bluetooth, you can make call or listen music via bluetooth on our unit.
If you also want to get the DAB box and TV box, please contact our UK amazon seller, they will reply you and provide you best service.
Regards

OK, I bought the oval unit, dab box and reverse camera.

Please add the Digital TV box to amazon prime for quick delivery
