I am using an SD card in the device, no problems.

No. I've been trying to get some help from them - this is a process when I get in the car. I have to unlock my phone, start the car, open WiFi settings and then watch to see how long it takes to connect. It can be anywhere from a couple seconds to a couple minutes. Sometimes I have to turn off/on wifi on the phone or the headunit before it finally takes. It goes through a series of attempt trying to connect and login, but fails (no idea why), until one time it just works.
[Android Head-Units] mamba76:
Oh yeah forgot about the SD slot. Thats enough memory to do anything. Will be trying to emulate an XP image on mine so I can run my DSP software from the HU rather than a laptop.

Im ordering mine tomo morning, When installed Ill be using hotspot on my S7 and will post my findings on here. Actually will probably be bench testing first so can try it sooner.
[Android Head-Units] shay79:

Yes my car has no steering wheel control.

Where should i get the conectors from? From The seller?

Buying Pumpkin 8 OREO unit in the UK?

Hi. I was just about to buy the Pumpkin Android 8.0 OREO Universal Car Stereo fro AutoPumpkin.co.uk but according to their contact info it looks like they are not based in UK as I thought but in Hong Kong.

I have experience in sending and receiving stuff from Hong Kong and if it is fed ex'd you get a separate shipping invoice from them a week later, for this device that will probably be about an extra £80.

Does anyone know if / where this can be purchased within the UK?

Thx
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
You should be able to get it sent out from Germany, so there are no additional customs to pay... as far as I know....
[Android Head-Units] mamba76:
I bought it from AutoPumpkin.co.uk after all including all accessories for just under £300 delivered. It says this is in stock and coming from UK warehouse. Then I read some reviews on trustpilot and ppl say they were told the same but had to wait for it to come from Hong Kong. Theres so many dodgy companies out there with great looking websites its a bit of a gamble although I paid with paypal and have buyer protection so I Guess its Cosha??
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
If the installation of the previous firmware does not work out of the system settings, you can start the same out of the recovery.

Unit complete power off,

insert SD card with your Zip file to GPS slot,

Press the loudness knob until the hardkeys are flashing.

Short release the knob and press it short again.

After some seconds, the recovery will start.

push the loudness knob short to move the highlighted part of the menue

long press to enter

You need to choose update over SD card

If the system starts up instead of starting the recovery, go back to point 3 and press the loudness knob until the keys are flashing...
[Android Head-Units] omniajet13:
I installed the new firmware successfully it's just that the unit does not quick boot all the time now. It sometimes completely reboots for no reason on engine start
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Keep an eye on your battery. This effect is mostly if the battery is nearly dead.
[Android Head-Units] packetjunkie:
I second this - my F150 has a battery protection thing where when it runs low it does a hard power down of everything. I recharged the battery and no issues.

Hi guys, i have Mercedes Benz Vito, 2012 , W639 model, the size of my MB radio is - 245 top side, 240 bottom side, 130 mm high. I have now a small JVS radio with bracket size 190 by 120

Do you think this new Pumpkin unit will fit in my car even if is sticking out a bit?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
You need special mounting kit like that: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CKHMZJ...=1524387398&sr=8-1&keywords=mounting+kit+Vito

Otherwise there is no possibility to fix the 2-DIN-radio.
[Android Head-Units] evo1234:
Thanks, so this model will definitely fit using the mounting kit - https://www.autopumpkin.com/pumpkin...screen-octa-core-with-gps-navi-bluetooth.html ?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
What do you expect from my side? :D

I didn´t try to get the unit in your car, so that´s something you need to find out.
[Android Head-Units] evo1234:
Well, to be honest - when you suggested the mounting kit, i thought that you have same vehicle like me and already have that unit and are familiar with whether it fits or not

Apparently i was wrong :D
[Android Head-Units] abbots:
thanks for the info, I'm thinking of getting this unit,

is anyone from Australia here, does the DAB adapter supports Aus DAB b/cast ?

another dumnb Q: is the GPS antenna external, that I need to mount somewhere ?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Did you have a look into the shop? ;)

For sure is there an external GPS antenna included. This antenna needs to be mounted in the car on the dash or just bejond the dash cover.

If your car has a metallized windshield, you need to use an external antenna, other wise you don´t get a 3-D fix.

Regarding your question about DAB+ in Australia:

I don´t see a difference in there.
[Android Head-Units] evo1234:
Hi, guys, just a feedback - finally i decided to buy this unit - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Pum...32852057457.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.UBTqLa

Will give my impression about the unit once i install it and start using it. I hope it will not be very complicated to fit it into my MB Vito W639 model, i was told that will need an installation frame - the unit comes with one included but not sure if will be suitable for my car. Lets hope it will work without any problems

Where's the place to download firmware for this head unit from? The Pumpkin site isn't helping much.
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
You need to create a thread for getting the newest one. https://www.autopumpkin.com/forum/

The newest one just now can be downloaded here: https://mega.nz/#!IAURRJAY!xYpgUrbW06U-dwYbbWOMlSt7ThEEtjRP2GhKFJV1iR4

Just download the zip file and store it in the root of a SD card. Put the SD card in the right slot and normally there will be a pop up after some seconds.
[Android Head-Units] mamba76:
Is there a way to limit the maximum volume of and android device or in particular this device? I checked with odb test tones and an oscilloscope and this unit clips at volume 23 of 30. I know all head units allow for 5%-10% leeway as music is usually recorded between 0db an -12db. But being an audiophile my previous alpine HU is set to -5db on every source so it never clips, same with my DSP (output will never go above 2v), I only allow the possibility of clipping at the amps (the 5%-10% leeway or 9db). I want the HU to never clip, can anyone suggest an app or another way to achieve this?

After all the research Im glad I got this unit, well impressed. It even plays mkv files! and flac of course.

What phone mirroring apps are S7 users using with this? The included easyconnect is chinese based and not safe according to this device. Still to look into the tethering but will post my 2 cents when Iv got it working.

pumpkin vs joying

i want to buy HU, and i dont know what to choose..

Pumpkin AE0273B or JY-UO128N4PX5 ?

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Dou...-0-Universal-Car-Radio-Audio/32853278833.html

there is 50$ difference, both have 4GB RAM and all the details is almost the same except the CPU, i dont know wich one is better.

what should i choose???
[Android Head-Units] mamba76:
Pumpkin

From what I heard the $50 cheaper model is more buggy. I would compare them as cheapenese and chinese brand?? On pumpkin website it tells you about some of the IC chips used for amp, BT, etc which are very good quality according to the chip manufacturers. Makes me wonder if the pumpkin is the same as joying but with improved hardware? Anyhow Iv had no issues with mine at all yet so I would recommend the pumpkin and buy from their own website Autopumpkin.com /co.uk. HU, DAB, OBD & camera for under £300!

I was a bit sceptical of the uk website but you can only pay with paypal so your covered if it goes pete tong! (check stock location is not hong kong or you may have to wait 2 weeks)

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

Also what is the main reason ppl are wanting to upgrade the firmware for this device?

I know its best to have a backup of firmware and software if your going to f'about with rooting etc (bit like a bdm read on car ecus) but this unit isn't as restricted like pioneers, kenwoods etc?

There is one thing Im interested in. Can you get this unit to use a USB DAC instead of the onboard?

Think Iv just answered my own question! d
[Android Head-Units] evo1234:
Hi, i also was wondering for a while which one to buy and finally decided to buy Pumpkin - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Pum...32852057457.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.hW88wL

Anyone found a USB/BT TPMS unit that works with the AE0273B?
[Android Head-Units] clapele:
Installed my unit today. No luck to login into my google account or create a new one. Always "verification user". Internet (via WiFi) worked. Cross-check with my cell phone worked as well (server not down). Flashed the latest firmware and even the apk "Google Play Services" and "Google Play" from apk-mirror - without success. Any workaround?

Edit: today I received an automatic update for "Google Play" and afterwards I was able to login.
[Android Head-Units] bicho1986:
Have you tried the mirror link with android without wire, with wifi?
[Android Head-Units] evo1234:
I received my unit today - it took 2 weeks for delivery, quite good actually from China to South Africa. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Pum...yer-GPS-Navigation-Bluetooth/32852057457.html

Just one question - does someone know what is the max size SD card that this unit can read? I also see that there are USB ports - it connects with cable at the back of the unit - my question is - can i connect a USB stick to the cable output and if YES, what is the max size USB stick this unit can read?
[Android Head-Units] mamba76:
I heard someone uses a 128Gb SD. dunno about USB, mine is 16Gb no probs, yes works in both usb ports
[Android Head-Units] evo1234:
Thanks, i needed the information because i want to load my music collection onto a USB - even if it is on few USB sticks - i don't mind, but if you know a better way to listen to big size music collection - please let me know as i am very new with this stuff.
[Android Head-Units] Kazliux:
I can confirm that 128GB SD card and 64GB USB stick works fine on pumpkin!:good:
[Android Head-Units] evo1234:

hi.

I buy the pumpkin too.

can pls somebody confirm that there are rustle from the speakers by using a2dp?

maybe I got a defective one ?
[Android Head-Units] Kazliux:
2 questions regarding the unit:

1. Is it possible to unlock regular bluetooth functionality, e.g. for datalogging ecu.

2. What settings do you use for audio, the built in equalizer is not good... Tried to use poweramp without EQ, but it sounds too flat...

Overall the unit ir really good!

Does anyone know if 'auxilary in' can be routed out through USB / usbdac?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Due to the fact that there is still no reliable possibility to root the device... What information do you want to get? ;)

Seems that no one tried it yet.
[Android Head-Units] mamba76:
Being an android noob, heres a noob question- I know most of these threads go over my head regarding viewing / editing files / policies / audio policies / adapting & programming in general. You mean none of this can be done without rooting the device??

I just want my minidsp ministreamer to output audio (or most of it) to my dsp. Can I not do this without rooting? If so why not?:(

Thx
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Did you try it yet?

There is no one who ever did it in here. May be this is a question for another place... but sorry, I don´t know where to ask.

Seems that you need to try it yourself....sorry
[Android Head-Units] mamba76:
Just to clarify I am an android noob but have learnt from other members that no one has got audio to output through USB yet on a PX5 / Oreo unit. Which is FYT based (dont know what that means yet). I thought I read a thread where this was solved but it may have been about a different HW/SW combo Ill have to check.

Thx

What a shame the audio on these units is ****e!
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
Sorry, but you are buying a unit for around 300 bucks. You cannot claim to get audio output like your home stereo for this price. That is completely unworldly...

You can use the chinch output and use some external devices if it doesn´t fit your wishes.

If you want more, you need to buy an upper class radio starting from 900 bucks, but all of them have propriatary OS and are completely closed for anything.

I can´t say anything negative about the audio output with my unit.

It´s your decision what to do, but don´t spam this thread with this nonsens.
[Android Head-Units] mamba76:
If you look at my other posts Iv said exactly the same as you, they ARE great units for the price no question thats why I bought it. Im very attuned to my old alpine and could tell the difference immediatly. Im not putting the unit down in any other way except the pre outs are total junk and Iv already said thats to be expected for £300. I just thought it would be possible to route output through USB but according to some very helpful members on here I now know that this isn't possible on my PX5 / OREO device. Yet... Your happy with yours and thats great to know, Im not thats why Im on here to see if I can solve my problem. Dont no what cliche output is but it wont allow digital output.

USB or any digital output is not possible on this device yet, so the preouts are your only option. I think others thinking of buying this should know that. There are other models when this issue has been fixed like the Joying PX5. NewsMy carpads are another option so Iv read. Just trying to be honest mate. No offense. Was hoping to spark some interest into this topic not end up in mum jokes! Read my other posts and responses then prove me and them wrong, please!
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I´v read your other postings and the questions you asked are all the same, just blaming the audio output. Have you seen any other user denigrate the audio quality on this unit?

Once again in other wording:

Your personal expectations on a cheap Android car stereo is set too high.

...and this is my last comment on this topic:

If you need extraordinary HiFi in your car, you need to choose other units as the ones from China.... sorry....
[Android Head-Units] mamba76:
You actually read all my posts lol. Really??

Lots of people are after quality audio, and it is possible with a chinese unit just not with this model(yet) As I said many times (in my posts) Im an android noob, I had a stab with this unit and it didn't work for me. No big deal. I learnt a lot and I will move on. My expectations were never the issue, I don' t care I wasted my money I just wanted some information instead I got you!

I think this thread is dead now. Thanks to everyone for your help.

HD DVR for AE0273B

Hi, I bought a Pumpkin AE0273B 2 months ago, I'm very pleased with it, the only problem is finding a DVR in HD, that can be used. I'll like It to be a DVR, with internal processor and SD card.

That's why I bought a Joying DVR, but I can't make it work with my Pumpkin Headset. I have tried with different Apps, and guides found on Youtube, I only see i as a USB disk.

Is there anyone who has suggestions on how to make it work, or know a HD DVR that will work with my Pumkin headset?

Thanks in advance!

I just installed this unit in my 2005 Ford Excursion and it's awesome. Steering wheel controls work without a canbus decoder.

I plan on getting a SD card for it and I'm not sure if I need a second one for Google Nav or not in the GPS slot? Also is Nova launcher a good option and can I roll back to stock without resetting the unit? This is my first Android HU and I'm glad I waited for this one. cheers

Deal on the PumpkinAndroid 8.0 HU: $95 off!

I had the Pumpkin Android 8.0 4GB unit on a wish list at Amazon... Today the Amazon app on my tablet automatically sent a notification to me that the price is now reduced from $349.99 to $254.99... that's a $95 price reduction. I believe this unit is the AE0273B, the subject of this thread (though I've not yet found that model number on Amazon's product page). This deal seems too good to pass up. Thoughts, anyone?

Thank you
[Android Head-Units] rekids:
Just ordered one my self, been looking for a while now as to what I really wanted for my 05 silverado. Not sure if it is the same unit as the AE0273B model since there is no model number listed (as mentioned before) and after looking only thing I can find is a difference in ASIN numbers and when it was first available April 2nd. Really hoping it is the same and that the ASIN number is just different due to firmware that it ships with.

Wait and see now, should show up Monday and will edit the post with details. Oh and I did get one ordered just under 15 minutes before the sale price was over, back up to $350 ish

128GB Samsung EVO Plus MicroSDXC works just fine.

But do not expect fast speeds, the SD slot is slow on the unit.
[Android Head-Units] packetjunkie:
No luck on the Metra unit - installer said I have a "digital" interface and it can't connect with the powered analog wire on the Pumpkin unit. They did have an adapter that they are installing ($119/retail), so since it was already apart I'm going with that. They did say that most model cars this kind of setup would work, but in my specific case because of the digital interface, it would not without a converter.
[Android Head-Units] Chetski:
If and when anyone tries out the Easyconnect app, you'll need a very short usb cord. my 3' cord doesn't work.

[MENTION=2534110]rigattoni[/MENTION] , with rooting the HU have you by any chance tried replacing the boot.img in the update file with one that was rooted with 16.4 instead of 16.0? I would think you would be able to unroot as well using the original boot.img instead of patched boot.img.

This is just an idea I have and will probably see if I can screw mine up since I do really do kinda need root. One of the apps that I got the unit for requires a bunch of downloaded map sections and the app (including google maps) downloads them in some really screwy size, that takes forever and seam to be larger then needed when on another device. Any how that a different subject.

Also open to any other ideas as well.
