Well, with all the help and advice I got brave enough to see what happened…It’s installed and all seems good. I have accessed the menu and set the steering wheel control OK and installed the GPS in the compass cluster. Was a little worried about that I’d break the dash panel, it put up more resistance than I expected, but I didn’t.
The mapping works great (though haven’t been anywhere yet, but locked on to the location really fast).
The OE brackets line up perfectly. And the unit fits the hole perfectly. It powers up with the Toyota logo straight off. It looks OE which is great.
I plugged three of the five connections out of the OE head into the back as shown earlier. The others don’t seem to connect, one is to the Aux and we know that doesn’t work, not sure about the other but it all functions withe the exception of the iPod. I didn’t connect any of the RCA’s or other wires at this stage.
I plugged the iPod lead and the USB lead supplied direct into the unit (LM-C0676), but not sure whether the slots are different. Anyway, the iPod is connected (powered and shows on iPod screen), but not communicating with the head unit.
Now I just need to learn how to use Android.
So here’s the installation process:

Review for Pumpkin KD-C0223 Android 4.4 KitKat 6.2 inch Double Din Car DVD PlayerSD card: Other than that, I put a 64 GB SD card in it with a ton of music and pictures on it and it read it as easy as if it were a 1 GB card. If you place the MP3's in folders (band/album) then you have the folder name come up on the head unit and you can quickly browse through and find any particular song you want. You can even get it to list all the songs on the card and have it play the whole thing, although I could never listen to everything there while in my car. I believe (not certain yet) that there's a randomize or shuffle function, but I haven't had the time to try that yet. They state it will only access a 32 GB card, but I'm getting the full 64GB's I have in it. Maybe it has something to do with the type of card you're using? I bought one specifically for cameras and its read/write speeds (very fast) and it accesses the whole thing ! Bluetooth: Bluetooth on this is seamless and works like a charm. Set it for the phone and as soon as the unit turns on again... bingo - it automatically connects if you've set it up for automatic connection. Mic: The internal mic is clear enough that other people can hear me and I have it set to auto answer incoming calls so I do not have to take my eyes off the road to get the phone to answer. Safety is the main concern. I value that over screening my calls while driving. The contacts list imported easily and calls made out are fine. I now need to incorporate voice commands to it and then try to find a text to speech app for texting... if that can even be done on this unit. I easily would recommend this to friends and family without hesitation. UPDATE: This head unit is a tank. They sent me the KitKat update. I followed the instructions and it went through without a hitch. My buddy just bought a high dollar Pioneer and it can't do 1/4 of the stuff this one does. Do yourself a favor... if you're looking for a good android head unit, then you're in the right place. The people behind it, while a little poor with the english language - not so bad that I can't understand them - are quick to respond, very helpful and will answer any question you can throw at them. I would not hesitate to buy another head unit from them again.
Review for Pumpkin JY-C0662T Android 4.4 Car Stereo for Toyota Key Features Android 4.4 Kitkat OS Steeling Wheel Control function 2 inch LCD HD Capacitive touch screen Support OBD2 Support both 3G and Wifi Support Bluetooth Support 7 Color Button Indicator Support 1080p Video Support DVR, Reversing camera I’ll give a review of Pumpkin JY-C0662T. The unit has a 6.2″ capacitive touch screen and is flanked by buttons on the two side. The buttons are pretty well laid out and are easily accessible. Radio: This tuner sounds just as good if not better than my stock Toyota radio. There are your basic auto-scan (Scan) and preset buttons for the radio stations. There is a band button (on-screen) that chooses between AM, FM and RDS. CD/DVD: There’s a slide in slot atop the radio for CD/DVD discs. Works as expected when you insert a CD it launches the CD player and plays the music. Basic seek and skip functionality is available and it also supports DVD video playback.…
