I've found this unit on eBay, item 301778626466, (I'm still too new to post links. Sorry)
6.2 screen, dvd, two knobs, four buttons on each side of screen (slightly angled toward screen in and down)
The title states the head unit is 1024x600, but per this forum, I check the description and which states the resolution is 800x480. I contacted the seller about the discrepancy. They responded, stating the resolution is 800x480. However, due to the poorly written description, and poor email exchange I'm left wondering. I really like how Pupug has the buttons laid out and labeled when compared to how other vendors repackage and label their buttons (same chassis). Having the buttons labeled as Home, Menu, Back, Navi, >>, <<, radio, and phone make the most sense to me.
Does anyone know if this model is available with the higher screen resolution? Where?
Thanks,

I have two resolution settings on my android 5.1 head unit. I set it to the higher one. And now the screen is to wide to fit in the 6.2 inch monitor. And the Settings icon is off the screen. I can scroll right and see it. But while scrolling I can't select it. To get back into settings and reset the resolution back to the lower setting.
Does anyone know how to access settings someplace else other than the home screen button? It's an Eincar unit. But I think they are pretty much all the same. It's android 5.1.
Android 5.1 head unit
Hi there,
I just bought one of those units and it happen to me exactly the same right after I found the code t unlock the general>extras menu.
I managed to "guess" the position of the buttons since it seems like the screen changes but the original position of the touch buttons does not. It took me a little while but I was able to do it but its complicated thou.
The other way around would be to try the the reset pin button on the front right top corner. I have not try that so honestly don't know the exact behavior of this reset button.
Good look.
Hi folks,
I have bought a Xtrons PB96MTVAPL last week. which is a GS MTCD PX5 Octa-Core HeadUnit.
I am very pleased withe the performance of the system and the UI in general.
Since i am pretty new to the matter i played around with it a bit today.
I wanted to optimize the Factory Settings today and "accidently" pushed the "Reset Soft-Buttons"-Option... resulting in directly disabled Soft-Buttons... which is not preferable on a "Soft-Button-Only HeadUnit".
I also have a horizontal mirrored touch input now wich is really crappy and twists my poor brain...
I have contacted the Xtrons-Support but I have the feeling they force me to return the Unit which i dont want....
Is there maybe a way to remap my MCU Softbuttons?
Is there anybody who could send me a copy of his dmcu.cfg for the PB96MTVAPL?
[solved]
Hi,
i solved the issue myself by using the "Reset Toch Screen" function. One has to point at the upper left and lower right of the touch area. After that one can remap the softbuttons.
it was quite a struggle getting there with a totally flipped screen.
Hi. I am also interested in you unit. How is the radio reception, the audio quality and generally the unit? I would like to send me a quick video if you can or upload one in youtube. Thanks
Due to the problem of Opel Astra H having the 2-Din slot quite low, I want to try to install a head unit in the place of the standard Opel display on top of the dash panel. Since there is not enough space behind that display, I'd have to install only the display of the head unit and then put the unit somewhere else - maybe behind the actual 2-Din slot or the glove compartment. Since I don't have a head unit yet (partly because it depends on whether I can do the above), I thought I'd ask here.
1. Looking at pictures of various HUs, it seems removing the front panel with display should be no problem, for example on this unit - https://de.aliexpress.com/store/pro...ith-Octa-Core-2GB-Ram/600991_32805474302.html . Is this the case or are there HUs with the display glued to the HU or otherwise unable to be removed?
2. Is there just one flat cable connecting the display to the HU or are there more? I'm talking about HUs with touch buttons, like the Dasaita unit linked above, not ones with rotary knobs for Vol/Tuner and mechanical buttons for Home, Nav, Radio, etc. Maybe someone can upload a picture of his HU with the front removed?
I did it again....
Since last weekend I have the new Pumpkin here and test it extensively at my test place before I install it in the car.

Data
Scope of delivery:
2 DIN Unit
10.1 inch glossy screen, with metal frame
Cable set with 2 USB ports
User manual English/German
PX5
64-bit 8-Core Cortex-A53 1.5GHz
Android 9, build number 201907251651
MCU: CSN2_06252ß19_163051 (Despite this MCU the device is obviously a KLYDE device)
Here again an information to the MCU:
It is a PX5, but with a newer mainboard. The CSN2 devices are not firmware-compatible to the known PX5 boards, so there are no custom-roms at the moment.
First impression:
I must say, the first impression is very good.
The first startup was done after about 20 seconds.
The original launcher is as usual from Punpkin, as well as the apps included.
What's new:
Additional USB on the front panel
2 micro SD trays on the front panel
Volume control knob (illuminated)
Knob for App switching (illuminated)
App called "Tachograph," a new app for the Pumpkin USB-Dashcam.
Caravan, an app that supports rear view camera and front camera and you can switch between both cams. (did not try it...)
Sync (I don't know what it's for yet)
CD player for external CD players
An app called "Joykey Study" for certain OEM-Key-Pads, I have to do some research myself...
VoiceControl App Looks like an app for Apple's friends. The app doesn't work for Android phones (at least for mine).
The Settings menu was cleaned up, also the menu for the "factory settings". Here you don't find the strange menu anymore, but it's neatly clean arranged. Unfortunately not in German, but I think you can live with that.
Display of the battery voltage in the status bar is now possible in the "Personal settings".
Also the settings of the phone can be displayed now. Here you can see the field strength and the battery status at the top of the status bar.
The radio runs very smoothly and I was able to install all the apps I needed without any problems. Root was possible with the well-known ADB method without any problems.
The screen is connected to the radio with a flat cable plug, just slide it on and click into place.
You can turn the screen with a little effort in all directions and the holder makes a very stable impression.
First Tests:
The working temperature is important for me. With active route guidance, DAB+ active in the background, Blitzer.de active, the temperature stays ~60°C... and that without any optimization.
Yesterday I installed the radio. The first thing I noticed was, that Pumpkin is finally keeping the usual EUR installation dimensions for this radio. My previous radios always needed a reworked installation frame. A new frame is therefore due because the existing frame was reworked to fit my other units....
Potential for improvement:
Developer menu is password protected. The PW is even not known at Pumpkin. It's marked as secret... But i´m on it.
I got the information from Pumpkin that the new Android 9 design from Pumpkin is still in work. I'm curious when that will come. So I'll show you some pictures as soon I will get it from them.
On my car the phone keys don't work right now, they are not recognized by the app. So I had to change my voice key so that I can answer a call via the steering wheel and hang up (double assignment of the actions goes via long click).
Recommendation:
For me its´s a clear YES, because I don´t need any custom rom. I just use another launcher.
Please comment on the 10-inchness implementation
Did you have to cut into your car plastics? Or does it stick out an leave a gap? Was there a snug adapter with no gaps and no cutting?
Does it tilt/rotate? If it does, does it stay in place when you are operating it or wiggle under your fingers? Does it stay still on bumpy roads? Etc.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The unit is exactly 2-DIN large so there is no gap and nothing has to be cut from cockpit plastic at all.
The screen stays completely in place even when placing the hand on the top and using the thumb for a screen touch on bumpy roads.
... and yes, it stays still on bumpy roads.
For my car (Mitsubishi ASX) I need a car specific adapter, because the OEM unit is 2-DIN high but about 6cm wider than 2-DIN but with just a 6" screen and lousy firmware/UI and OS. The adapter I buyed needed to get cut, because nearly all 2-DIN chinese units are not really 2-DIN, they are a bit larger. To get the chinese units in my car, I had to cut the hole larger.
With the new unit I would be able to use the original size... so I have to buy a new one.... unfortunately...
You can tilt and rotate the screen to get rid of any glare and you can move the screen up and down, to get the right position at your dashboard.
Until now I don´t see any bad behavior.
Hi All,
Given that the suppliers (drop-shippers I guess) have been less-than-helpful, I thought i'd come here to see if anyone else has fitted one of these.
It's supposedly a relatively simple install, with looms pre-made with splices etc. already pre-done.
Does anyone have any tech info on the unit? Specifically, should the two LEDS on the panel light up when power is present on the device? Because mine doesn't.
Seller isn't accepting that's a problem - but who knows - maybe those LEDs show CANBUS activity, not power / CPU etc.
Just want to open up a dialog to see if we can make this a bit of a help resource for me, and others who might get the box!
Thanks
