I just bought an Android head unit from Pumpkin Audio http://www.autopumpkin.com/new-products/pumpkin-quad-core-android-4-4-kitkat-car-stereo-double-din-6-2-inch-in-dash-gps-navigation-system-support-3g-wifi-odb2-dvr-air-play-7-color-button-indicator.html
Everything's working fine for the most part but I want to root it to fix a few minor inconveniences. Pretty much the same issues most people have around here(connect to my OBD2 bluetooth device, map steering wheel buttons for 3rd party applications, etc) but I can't find any information on how to root it or even any ROMs for this head unit or it's CPU.
Does anybody know If/how I can root this or even install a new ROM (I don't mind either one)?
Thinks in advance.

You can install any of the pre-rooted ROMs that match up to your CPU(RK3188) and screen resolution(800x480).

Thanks for your reply. I had seen that thread before but didn't see any ROMs for RK3188. There are some in the repos mentioned there but the rooted ones are either for RK3066 or just don't say which CPU they're for. The closest I've found is on the list of Boo's ROMs on the Custom section of the Google Drive repo which says it's KK4.4.4 and rooted but it doesn't say if it's for RK3066 or RK3188. Am I missing something?
Also, I don't know yet if my unit is KGL, Klyde, RoadMaster, GS, JY or MD yet. For what I gather from your post, I can install any ROM as long as it's for the right CPU so, Assuming Boo's ROMs are for RK3188, I don't need to bother checking which kind of unit I have, am I right?
Search the Threads updated ROMs by Malaysk and DSA3810

Make sure you match up your CPU(RK3188) and screen resolution(800x480) and you will be fine!
Same for me with the GF. I'll try Malaysk's ROM tomorrow and see how it goes.

the KD-C0410 model uses a DUAL CORE Processor RK3066, you can't use RK3188 ROM's, the RK3188 is a QUAD CORE processor.
in this thread you can find all the development for the RK3066 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662
also remember that most of Pumpkin stereos are made by KLYDE, so you will not find the name Pumpkin look by KLD

That's exactly what I ended up doing. Malaysk's ROM has been working fine so far since I flashed it on saturday and I was able to change/fix everything I needed.
thanks!
Do any of you know if the ram can be upgraded in these Chinese head units? I know inside the Joying head unit there is what looks like a ddr3 ram slow. I am unsure if the Pumpkin variant has one as well.
If it does, in theory it should be able to be upgraded.
I asked the Pumpkin Auto people if this was possible and they said no. I am thinking they may have said this cause the want the buyer to buy the ram from them instead of using a 3rd party stick of ram.
Anyone care to weigh in on this?
please delete, sorry

Looking for a pre-rooted ROMs that match up to your CPU(RK3188) and screen resolution(800x480). All the links I click on are dead. Can someone send me a working like it would be appropriated greatly..
thanks
Hi everyone
I hope someone can help me with this issue. I bought a stereo on amazon by what I thought was Pumpkin but after I started having issues with it found out it was not a true pumpkin stereo. Pumpkin will not help me because they say I did not buy it from them and Amazon will not help either.
The touchscreen only works if I touch in the center so I can not get to the settings. Device info is
Model S07
CPU ARM Cortex-A9 @ 1.6 Ghz (x4)
Memory 1024 MB

Sorry I am not sure what you mean by air mouse?
just connect a mouse (over air, eg. via bluetooth...) with your stereo so you are able to make your inputs by this way...

Are all apps compatible?
Also can you use google maps / waze simultaneously?

Hello Members,
I'm looking to convert my Volkswagen Stock Stereo Unit (RCD 310) to an Android HU, My Stock RCD 310 served me well without any trouble for the last 7 years, but it was a very basic stereo without any fancy techs involved in it just a CD /USB player. Hence my hunt for an upgrade began initial plan is to upgrade it to RCD 340 Series to keep the stock look and with updated features like Android Auto, Car play etc. But since they are mobile phone dependent which needs to be constantly connected to your mobile phone to access the android auto features i ruled out that upgrade and decided to try independent Android HU, After a Lot of Online search I narrowed down to 3 different Android Head units in Ali express.
1.) Pumpkin Model Name:ND0380B (Pumpkin Android 8.1 Car Multimedia Player 2 din 9" Car Radio GPS Fastboot Car Stereo No DVD Player For VW/Skoda/Golf/Volkswagen)
I liked the look of the above Model but its a Quad core processor with 2GB ram and also after having a conversation with a person who own it he was strongly against this player and its running slow and have few lags. Hence ruled out
2.) Pumpkin Model Name: AE0373B(Pumpkin 2 Din 8'' Android 8.0 Car DVD Player GPS 4G RAM Car Stereo For Volkswagen/Skoda/Golf/Polo FM Rds Radio DAB+ Headunit)
I have almost finalized the above head unit and right before placing order I bumped up into Dasaita Brand and looked into their models. Luckily I found a similar Pumpkin 9" model in Dasaita which had PX5 octacore with 4GB ram (assuming this will run faster. ) Dasaita 9" Android 8.0 Car GPS Radio Player for Seat Leon Alhambra Altea Toledo with Octa Core 4GB+32GB Auto Stereo Multimedia.
Now I'm confused which one to choose, After reading some couple of XDA threads i understood all these chinese models are similar but would like to know which one is more reliable and have a better customer support Pumpkin or Dasaita, Would love to hear from some owners who own any of these devices in this forum.
TIA

My brother bought a Jeep Wrangler PX5 MTCE_HA Android 8.0 4gb/32gb from a company called GTAcarkits. These units are Dasaita brands or Hot Audio. This unit came with a Custom Rom for the specific company so my brother contacted them because he was having low sound problems and he was already looking for a way to change the rom or install Viper4android. So my brother asked GTAcarkits if the unit was rooted, they said the device was locked. I downloaded root checker and it turns out that the unit is rooted already and of course it has their custom rom. So GTAcarkits told my brother that they suggest not to flash any compatible rom because if he does the specific unit will get bricked. He said their units they sell have a fail safe. So, they might be rooted but you cannot flash any new firmware. The head unit is a Dasaita 10.1 . same as buying it directly from them how can it get bricked?
If any body can help out with this? I really appreciate it. My brother wants to flash a different rom with better sound quality and Viper4android but, I just want to make sure I do not brick it. I will post pictures below.
Another thing . is it possible extract the current stock rom and recovery. img just in case it does get bricked it can be reflashed back to the original rom with stock image?

Hey there! I'm literally minutes away from pulling the trigger and buying the same unit from GTA car Kits, for a Corolla 2015.... Did you end up chancing it with the new ROM? on a side note, how is the sound quality with this unit vs OEM radio? I know upgrading OEM with anything by name brand like Kenwood or Pioneer pretty much garantees better sound, but I'm a bit worried as I find the sound pretty good with my Corolla already (now that I've added a powered subwoofer). it is VERY hard to find reviews online for similar Dasaita units that focus on the sound quality! thanks!
