Hi, I am looking at buying a Pumpkin double din head unit that has the option to attach a usb 3g dongle for direct connectivity. However I intend to install a roof mounted combined gps and 3g antenna for better reception, therefore I would like to buy a usb 3g dongle that has an external antenna socket. Can anyone recomment one that is android compatible, or am I able to buy any dongle? The dongle that Pumpkin recommends and that is also mentioned in a similar recent thread does not have an sma socket.
Although I know it is an option, I do not want to connect via wifi.
thanks in advance

Hello,
It's possible to connect a GPS antenna on a Kyser.
I've got an antenna but I need to buy an adapter cable.
It seems there are several satelite connectors available on the market.
As I want to order online, do you know the name of the Sat connector present on the back of the Kyser ?
Best Regards
According to MobilePlanet, the GPS antenna connector is a MS-147-C(LP)-2.
Hi! I got an PX5 headunit with Malaysk rom android 6
I tested the modem on my computer and it is works fine, but when i connected to the head unit it seem like not being recognised, the 3g HSDPA dongle is for Pumpkin car stereo so theoretically it should work.
Any idea what to do next?
Thanks!
In further investigation, I found out the problem is the head unit can't see the USB dongle. It is connected to the 3G/Wifi USB port, my guess is the problem it's not just a 3G dongle, it is a micro SD card reader as well. Any idea?
This is a Joying for a vw. Running android 8.
There is two usb connections at the back. Left and right.
The one marked 2.o (left one looking at the front) works with the DAB adapter and Zlink Apple car play. All is good.
Q1:
If i connect to the right usb the iphone then zlink wont connect. Why? (Im assuming its USB1.0) Can I use one of the zjinnova adapters to get carplay on this usb port?
Q2:
If i connect the DAB adapter to the right usb it works but the sound stutters enough for it to be annoying to listen to.
Anything i can do to help this? Im assuming its a data speed issue.
Q3:
Any tips on getting both DAB and Apple carplay to work?
Regards Kurt
Hi there
I have an issue with my Sofia based joying unit JY-UMS01N2D.
For usb thetherin purposes, I bought a usb>Lan adapter and a gli.net mt-300n. and: it works!
I connected the joying with the usb/lan adapter and from there with a cat5 to the gli.net mt300n device.
The problem ist; After sleep mode/reboot of the joying unit there's no lan connection anymore (to the gli.net mt300n).
Workaround: re-plug the cat5 OR usb/lan adapter
Does anyone knows, why does this happens? I guess it's not a usb/lan adapter driver issue, since the workaround with the re-plug of the cat5 helps also.
Are there some android setting that might have an affect on this?
regards & many thanks

I have what is hopefully a simple and straight forward question. I purchased this unit about 12 months ago https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot...&orderId=87843158798481&productId=32807153130 and I have both a DVR USB Camera and DAB+ Module connected to the 2 USB ports on the rear of the unit.
It appears that one of the USB ports is faulty, so I can only get reliable DVR or DAB+ but not both. If I were to buy a small, simple USB Hub like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/keb...-Splitter-Hub-Adapter-For-PC/32889011052.html, connected it to the working USB and then connected the USB Camera and DAB+ Module to the hub, would this work?
Thanks for reading!
I'm not certain if it works correctly on Android 6, but on my unit that has Android 8 i have a similar USB Hub connected that has a memory stick, the TPMS receiver and the receiver for a wireless keyboard, they all work correctly.
Taking into account how cheap a USB Hub is, i think it's worth checking it out.
Also, i managed to get one of the USB connectors into the glove compartment and connect the USB Hub into it, so the devices are easily accessible but not too visible.
Note, if you can take the unit out and send it to a service, they can probably fix the USB connector (the one that doesn't always work), it might have a loose connection, they sometime come loose and can be resoldered to the motherboard.
Also, if you open the unit and check the motherboard, some units have a 3rd internal connector that needs an adapter, not all of them though.
