Hey,
i recently purchased a truck that had this headunit it it, previous owner said it didnt work well - as far as i can see the sound works very intermittently, perhaps playing for a second, then nothing for 5-10, keystrokes when typing on the keyboard to play, and you do hear the music briefly, so i know it has the potential to work. perhaps it just needs firmware? can anyone guide me as to information on this? what common unit it it based on? what firware can i flash onto it - if any?

ive tried reaching out to pumpkin and had no response, and it wont let me force it to reboot with pressing the RST button followed by the "middle button" for two short presses and then a long press uuntil the menu appears"
it does have an SD card inside the unit, which i have seen it advised that they use this to force an update?
anyone lend a hand?
happy weekend.
I dont know what it is I m afraid, but it DEFFO is not and MTCB or MTCC unit.
Maybe someone else will be able to identify it.

Thanks for your input. This thing is driving me insane - I don't want to buy a new unit if this thing is salvageable.

I would read through the Android Headunit General forum and see if you can see any with the same info in the settings/about device screen as yours.

I'll have a look again, but I did scroll through for a good time and didn't find anything, seems like this is an uncommon variant of pumpkins devices.

Hi Tobi.
This is how to update this unit via the internal sd card.

Actually there are no Pumpkin devices, Pumpkin are a seller, they buy from several different manufacturers and sell as their own.
Hope the post from @brocky2k1 above helps you.

Got a unit from China, seller name "UmeCity" on Aliexpress. Bought the unit for 207$ which I assume is pretty good for what I got.
However, I'm looking for rooting my device and unlocking some the features that is locked today.
Lets start the work of a detective
8" Android 4.4.2, from China of course Tried searching the web for more info on this unit, and found almost nothing about it. Is it brand new, or is it just really rare?
Seller URL of the unit I got: http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...kswagen-Passat-B5-B6/1949726_32513068348.html
This is what my "about device" says (sorry for the swedish part):

Been looking at pages like http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Generic_Android_Head_Unit and http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Hui_Fei_Type , where the hardware specs seems to match but not the default launcher or anything else. Seller tells its "Allwinnertech Android 4.4.2".
My main goal is to root this device, but I do understand its a good start to identify which unit it is from the beginning. What info do you need further more to be able to identify my head unit? If you need more screenshots or anything, please let me know.
Highly appriciate if I could get some help!
Thanks
The YT-video of KingRoot seems really simple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW4bZ8Q20Jg , however. If my unit does not work to root, will it just give me an error message? Is it safe to try it out, will it commit any other changes to the system except giving access to system files and so on?
Also, found this Russian site (used Chrome translation) which seems to be pretty similiar hardware. It also states KingRoot should work, but not 100% sure it's the same. Also the CPU-Z tells me I got ROOT access, but the apps I tried says I do not. What does that mean?
Anyone with information is highly appriciated!
Thats a Tonghai 2nd gen. I have the same and there is a good thread here. Just use kingroot apk

I've seen those, kinda look like a tablet with an amp built onto the back. I wasn't impressed with them. But my new Eonon double din was a huge disappointment also, so buying any of these Chinese units is like playing Russian Roulette.
In this head unit space I think your expectations for an $82 unit are too high
I say run it over and spend more money. Joying or Ownice. And really, compared to what you have to pay for Pioneer/Sony/Kenwood etc full GPS units these are still really cheap!

That would be great for space limited applications.
..Spend more monney on another... yea, that is what I am going for next.. did not have the monney at the time, and this looked like something I needed to fill my 2din hole with temporary..
But for real.. is there anyway to flash this with another ROM? for fun, just to se if it can be used at all.. before I run it over with the car :silly:
(bad thing, I got another, almost the same, on the way to.. a 7018B model... but still gona buy a Joying maby, or used main brand..)
this is not an Android Headunit... you cant flash anything on it...
I found your post by accident... I am inside a car with the same system right now... and I am pretty sure this is a Java based program.. not an android interface
I just got this Hizpo 6.2" inch Android 7.1 Double Din In Dash Radio.
According to the manual, this unit appears to support Ipods, but I can't find any info on it
It has a port on the back for a wire harness also after enabling it in the factory settings, it adds a Ipod icon to the app drawer.
Does any have any info on this or know where to get a wiring harness?

Did you ever find a resolution for this? I'm in the exact same boat. I am trying to deal with the support folks but it is a slow process.
Thanks

Ya I did, I returned the unit. I talked to support and it is not supported on this unit even tho the port is there. They use the same parts and software for multiple units.

Ah, gotcha. I made sure to ask before I bought the one I have if it supported ipods, they said it would so that's why I bought it. Starting to get the feeling it might not after all. Thanks for the reply!
Does the mp3 player not have a headphone jack?

I can't see a setting to do this on my unit, is there a way I can do this over ADB or some sort of command? I'm trying to connect my ODB device. I'm guessing it won't connect as I can't input the code.
No idea what manufacturer, all I have is AC8227l and SWM-9128. Also the info below.
Build number : CVD1810-WJ_19.07.09_011
MCU Vers : ZXDZ_2019.07.30.12
Some HU look for a device name that includes ODB. You can also try this app.
You don't have an MTCD unit but maybe that can help.
I have the same unit and it cannot paired with my OBD which use 1234 pin.
I read at 4pda forum they mention it will get paired with OBD which use 0000 pin
I tried using this APK https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.solvaig.forcepair&hl=en but still failed to paired with my OBD

Hello friend, after searching a lot I found your message. The options of my radio are the same... But when I change from comparison number to passkey entry, the radio asks me to reboot, but nothing changes in the bluetooth options. I have no options to change the link code. I'm trying to connect an obd2 scanner but I can't.
Maybe I'm skipping a step, then I'll take photos and upload them to the forum, in case I make a mistake in what I'm doing.
I hope you can help me. Thanks a lot!!
I'll reproduce all steps I've done and record it in video later this day. Just started working so this will take a few hours.

Thanks mate, don't worry... I'm not in a hurry. I also noticed that my bluetooth options screen is different from yours. As much as I put in the passkey options. In bluetooth I don't see the option to change the pin. Anyway thank you very much.

What should appear here? Car specific and maybe can bus related data? Maybe can setting is not correct or the head unit is not supporting your car?
What's the sellers suggestion?

You need to ask your seller. They can provide a Lincence.dat file you need to put on the root of head units file system.
