OVERALL ABOUT PRODUCT
This review will be about 7 inch 1024*600 Android 5.1 double din Quad Core Car stereo–RQ0264.


There are few Pumpkin car stereos available, but I chose this one because I like how it looks and also screen resolution was very important to me. Screen quality is very good, touch screen – very responsive and picture quality – amazing. Just what I wanted! This is my second Android car stereo in my car. I have two Android units in my car – one Pumpkin double din and another custom made Nexus tablet, one for navigation and another for entertainment.
Quality for the price is very good. Everything works as it should, as my oem radio. When you will start car it will continue to play track, or will jump to same radio station or any app you have used, before you have switched ignition off.
Navigation also works very good. I have downloaded google maps offline maps. And also GPS signal is very good, even with GPS antenna hided under dash.
I could not find anything very negative about this Pumpkin car radio yet. BUT little improvements would make this unit more premium:
-Screen feels a bit plastic. – glass screen would make this model more premium – also to look and feel more expensive.
-Better integrated EQ – easy fix is to download better from Play store.
-MORE Launcher THEMES – also there many launcher apps in Play store, but not many people know how to install them.

FITTING
I have managed to fully fit this unit in my Avensis in 1 hour, but I still have some problems with fascia. I have to make some modifications to make it look nicer. Unit came with all necessary cables, exactly same as you can see in product page pictures. I have bought Steering Stalk Control for my car to connect steering wheel controls to Pumpkin stereo. And everything works perfect. You can also set function for every steering wheel button individually in settings.

Most important FUNCTIONS
-APP resume when you start car.
-Screen brightness changes when you switch light on/off.
-You can set time after how many minutes unit to shut down after ignition switched off.
-Bluetooth hands free calls – It connects automatically when your phone is in range. Call quality is very good even without external mic. You can change to auto answer calls in settings.
-Steering wheel controls – works very good. Not expected to be so eeasy to connect. Plug and Play. ( if you want to connect steering wheel controls just buy Steering Stalk Control instead of wire harness for your car)
-Easy change button LED light colors to match other interior buttons.


Basically it is Android tablet with all the same functions as your home tablet plus it has a lot more special functions. So far I am very happy with all function and quality. If you have any question or you need any help in fitting, just ask here. I will try to answer ASAP.

My install was on a 2001 pre-facelift e46. I will compare this BMW car navigation to a similar unit I’ve had experience with. I have previously owned a WIN CE Dynavin E39 unit when I had an e39 5 series. This Pumpkin unit is significantly better than the Dynavin. The user interface software is much more polished and tidy, has more features and is just better overall. The Dynavin had full 4 channel RCA outputs for those wanting to use the unit via an amp, however the pumpkin only has 2 channel left and right (not front/rear) so that’s one thing it falls down on. I’m not using an amp so I don’t care.

You can disable the “mute when in reverse” feature which wasn’t possible on my old unit (I don’t like it) so that’s nice, however the pumpkin still switches to reverse cam AV IN even if you don’t have one fitted, so you get a black screen. At least the sound doesn’t cut out when reversing (unless you want it to).

Before buying I repeatedly asked what sat nav software it came with, and in particular if it was the IGO PRIMO software. For anyone else wondering, yes it is the IGO PRIMO sat nav software, and it is very good. I was relieved it wasn’t something else. If you are having problems entering a postcode, what you do is you enter it into the “city” field, and you MUST include the space if you want to put in the whole postcode, otherwise it won’t let you and/or it won’t work. Beyond that, this is the premium standard for aftermarket sat nav in my opinion, and it’s great. I had a browse through the supplied SD card, and it appears I have been supplied with maps for the entirety of Europe! So that’s pretty nice.

The Dynavin I’m comparing it to had to be cunningly installed in order to play dvd or video of any kind while driving ( I.e. with the handbrake off) . This one just just has an option in the settings, which again is great.

Finally, the screen is a good size and the interface is nice and fast not laggy like some units out there.
