Greatest receiver by far

Replacing my old receiver with this Pumpkin 7 inch 2 Din Octa-Core Android Car Radio. Wiring was a breeze as I only had a few wires to solder. At first glance it is very well made and solid. Came with all the connectors as specified. After the install, it turned on immediately with no delay. The screen was clear and responsive, it has multiple different menu options and it functions much like a tablet. The settings are similar to any Android phone setup. The wifi antenna picks up all nearby signals. GPS on/offline is great, but you need to install the initial maps. Sound clarity is great, having an EQ is a plus. The external mic is a bit awkward to mount anywhere so I left my old one on. This receiver is far superior than my previous in all aspects. One bummer was that there is an IR sensor but no remote was provided, kind of weird as there was no offer of remote online either. Check out pics.

Install Note: If your car had a 6.2″ DVD player previously, the dimensions on this receiver will be much larger. As the console bezel on my 06 WRX fit a 6.2 screen perfectly. I had to trim down the bezel to fit this receiver.

Excellent value for the price of the Pumpkin single din 7 inch touchscreen android car radio

Ok, so I pulled the trigger on this based on price point, and the review by the guy below with the Land Rover – I have an old BMW that’s a Sunday cruiser and really just wanted to update the head unit to have Bluetooth, nothing more – for the price of a regular old Kenwood deck, I picked this up figuring the extra features, if they’re as good as promised, would be a bonus.

Unit arrived FAST, and was well packaged. Included GPS antenna, mounting bracket, a rear view camera, single din bracket and removal tools. Wiring was simple, following the schematic on the unit itself, and the notes in other reviews about making sure the blue antenna wire gets jumped to power.

Interface out of the box is good, but I chose to run a car launcher, as have some others – I like the home screen better than the stock one. App selection from the google play store is great, and there’s plenty of memory to accommodate whatever you want. Even the stock offline gps is pretty solid. I’m including a few screenshots of the stock home screen, the launcher, and an app or two.

I’ve kicked the tires on all the features of this unit since having it and am incredibly impressed at the functionality for the price point. It performs pretty darn close to my other android units in other cars that cost much more. If you’re looking for a modern single din solution for an older retrofit, or a budget friendly alternative to the Alpines, Kenwoods, and Sonys, check this out. It’s a great value.

Lastly, kudos to the seller for offering EXCELLENT customer service – I expected there would be little to no support for the questions that came up about the product but was pleasantly surprised when any issues I had were resolved within a day and to my satisfaction. Five stars for a great seller who stands behind their merchandise.
