Video Review on Pumpkin Android Universal Single Din Car GPS Stereo--RQ0109

The Pumpkin Andorid Single Din Car GPS DVD Player we’re talking about is: goo.gl/FHnq9e

This is a full-blown Pumpkin android tablet for your car. It’s well built, well thought out with great features, and generally well polished. Google Play is included, so you can just install apps from the play store (although you’ll really need an SD card and will have to move as many apps to it as possible). Most apps just work, and work great. Apps that want a lot of space on internal flash storage (such as Google Maps, for its offline maps feature) may have major problems. It’s not ENTIRELY stock android: one third-party app told me change a setting in preferences, opened the preferences for me, and the setting wasn’t there. Mostly though, the changes are to add features, rather than remove features.


Sound quality is good. Radio tuning and quality is decent, though it seems to only catch main stations — maybe the stereo (ST) or local (LOC) settings will help it tune more distant/weaker stations, but I haven’t tried those yet. Some volume tweaking is required to make the navigation volumes sane whilst also listening to music, but I think it’s customisable enough for that to be OK.


Haven’t tried the DVD video/audio playback yet. For a linux/phone hackery-type like me, though, this is doing everything I really hoped for so far, apart from the storage and DAB issues, which are mostly surmountable.


Also, I didn’t expect this, but if you connect your android 6 phone with USB and use the Easy Connect app included, it will prompt you to enable USB debugging / mutual control, and then your phone will become a secondary Android Drive mode screen. So between this, your (modern) phone, and a car mount, you get TWO computerised driving displays


Highly recommended, if single din is all you have.
