Customer Review on Pumpkin 2GB RAM Android 4.4.4 Car GPS Stereo

Pumpkin 2GB RAM Android 4.4.4 Car GPS Stereo

Thanks to the built-in quad core,it is very comfortable with faster response. The key feature of this Android radio is the quad core CPU with 2GB RAM. If using Facebook or a browser,you will quickly see the benefits.
Android 4.4.4 is currently installed on this device, but I’m sure PUMPKIN will  deliver an update to Android 5.1 soon(as they do with many other devices). But this is not important to me, because in the car, I see no advantage by an update.


Radio reception makes a very good impression and can keep up with the previously installed factory radio.


Hands-free works well, however, the supplied external microphone should be installed. 


Navi is impressively accurate and Google maps is already installed, an Internet connection is necessary however. But now there’s also a free offline alternatives (MapFactor or NAVIGON via Amazon).


The MediaPlayer is quite good, plays everything and all necessary setting options are also available. 


Installed apps worked with all desired programs (Zattoo, Amazon Music, TuneIN and co) without any problems.
Internet is absolutely necessary in my view for such a device, because it extends the possibility of unbeatable. For me, I have implemented it with a small router Huawei (E8372), it has no battery and thus addressed by the radio and, thanks to eBay from abroad also quite cheap to get.


Power consumption: Have measured before installation to the secure the operating and StandBy power consumption to avoid an empty battery. Result is quite good (better, yet without hesitation), operation without sound there are 1.2 about AH and StandBy (10 minutes after ignition off, not to change) are between 0.02 and 0.03 AH. 


Fazit: I’m absolutely convinced by this Android radio and can recommend to anyone who wants to listen to more than just music from USB. This device is very fast and suitable for resource hogging apps. Only the DAB extension connection is missing.
