Android 10 Car Radio - Does what you need without the Brand Name

android 10 car stereo install on kia sportage 2005 stock car stereo on kia sportage 2005

I bought this Android 10 car stereo two weeks ago for my KIA Sportage 2005, then I thought it was Worth every penny.

Spotify is great, Youtube is awesome and Google maps and Waze are all great. Almost like having a tablet in your car. P.S. yes, you need your phone’s hotspot or some sort of internet connection to stream. you CAN download stuff to the unit like Spotify, youtube videos, etc. so you’ll always have your content or put them on an SD card.

Excellent once I figured out I needed to set the country before the timezones. I added an SSD drive to hold a ton of media files and also a rearview camera. It switches automatically to the camera and back without missing a beat.

Also, LOVE that plex works on this.



Car stereo with navigation

Navigation is one of the necessary functions of a car stereo. It offers real-time GPS navigation, traffic, and transit info, and explore local neighborhoods by knowing where to eat, drink and go. With navigation, you just need to see the car stereo screen instead of the small screen on your smartphone. So you can still concentrate on your road while driving.

Pumpkin car stereos support many navigation systems, such as Google Maps, Waze, Garmin, iGo, Sygic, etc.

Here’s my experience so far as I have only had this unit (JY-C0662) installed for a few days:

Good

  • Very fast shipping, I think it arrived in 4 days from China.
  • The build is very good and solid. Buttons give good feel and the unit overall looks professional. Just remember this is not a top of the line Pioneer, Alpine etc, so don’t get too picky… Let’s just say I was pleasantly surprised.
  • Easy install… It doesn’t get much easier than this. The unit comes with the Toyota harness adapter and will plug directly into yours…Period. No bezel is required as mine fit the dash perfectly as if it was made by Toyota for the FJ cruiser. Only thing you’ll need to do is to either grind or flatten several centering dimples on the brackets as they don’t have a place to sit on the HU. Took me 2 min with a ball-peen hammer a few love taps on the vice and voila. The factory HU uses 4 bolts per side but mine could “only” accommodate 3 per side… I hope it doesn’t fall out! hahah
  • Back-lighting…The description of the unit gives the impression that there are only a handful of colors to choose from, but I found that the color is infinitely adjustable and I was able to match the factory dash back-lighting with no problem.
  • It’s Android…So with an internet connection, you can connect to the Google Play Store and download apps to your heart’s content. I would recommend replacing the stock launcher with something else… I am using Nova and it works much nicer and smoother. The installed radio app, GPS (iGo), video player etc… all work good.
  • Steering wheel controls worked perfect… You just program them in the software settings.

Not so good/ But not so bad

  • I lost the subwoofer functionality, but I think it’s just a matter of connecting power to the correct wire….Pending…… Fixed!
  • Memory Card. Recently installed a 32 GB micro SD card to hold my music, photos, videos, etc… 32 GB is the largest this system will accept, at least that is what they say.

Enjoy:
