[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
I did it again....

Since last weekend I have the new Pumpkin here and test it extensively at my test place before I install it in the car.

Data

Scope of delivery:

2 DIN Unit

10.1 inch glossy screen, with metal frame

Cable set with 2 USB ports

User manual English/German

PX5

64-bit 8-Core Cortex-A53 1.5GHz

Android 9, build number 201907251651

MCU: CSN2_06252ß19_163051 (Despite this MCU the device is obviously a KLYDE device)

Here again an information to the MCU:

It is a PX5, but with a newer mainboard. The CSN2 devices are not firmware-compatible to the known PX5 boards, so there are no custom-roms at the moment.

First impression:

I must say, the first impression is very good.

The first startup was done after about 20 seconds.

The original launcher is as usual from Punpkin, as well as the apps included.

What's new:

Additional USB on the front panel

2 micro SD trays on the front panel

Volume control knob (illuminated)

Knob for App switching (illuminated)

App called "Tachograph," a new app for the Pumpkin USB-Dashcam.

Caravan, an app that supports rear view camera and front camera and you can switch between both cams. (did not try it...)

Sync (I don't know what it's for yet)

CD player for external CD players

An app called "Joykey Study" for certain OEM-Key-Pads, I have to do some research myself...

VoiceControl App Looks like an app for Apple's friends. The app doesn't work for Android phones (at least for mine).

The Settings menu was cleaned up, also the menu for the "factory settings". Here you don't find the strange menu anymore, but it's neatly clean arranged. Unfortunately not in German, but I think you can live with that.

Display of the battery voltage in the status bar is now possible in the "Personal settings".

Also the settings of the phone can be displayed now. Here you can see the field strength and the battery status at the top of the status bar.

The radio runs very smoothly and I was able to install all the apps I needed without any problems. Root was possible with the well-known ADB method without any problems.

The screen is connected to the radio with a flat cable plug, just slide it on and click into place.

You can turn the screen with a little effort in all directions and the holder makes a very stable impression.

First Tests:

The working temperature is important for me. With active route guidance, DAB+ active in the background, Blitzer.de active, the temperature stays ~60°C... and that without any optimization.

Yesterday I installed the radio. The first thing I noticed was, that Pumpkin is finally keeping the usual EUR installation dimensions for this radio. My previous radios always needed a reworked installation frame. A new frame is therefore due because the existing frame was reworked to fit my other units....

Potential for improvement:

Developer menu is password protected. The PW is even not known at Pumpkin. It's marked as secret... But i´m on it. :D

I got the information from Pumpkin that the new Android 9 design from Pumpkin is still in work. I'm curious when that will come. So I'll show you some pictures as soon I will get it from them.

On my car the phone keys don't work right now, they are not recognized by the app. So I had to change my voice key so that I can answer a call via the steering wheel and hang up (double assignment of the actions goes via long click).

Recommendation:

For me its´s a clear YES, because I don´t need any custom rom. I just use another launcher.
