[Q] Help rooting Pumpkin Quad-core Android 4.4 Kitkat Car Stereo

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?

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

Thanks CompletelyNumb,
before installing it, a shot from the front and the back, to see what butttons, dials have, and ports/connectors
I dont know if you can remove the top and keep the warranty, to take a shot of the SoM inside and check what oct core is, maybe know for a fact if it is the Allwinner A83T, what Bluetooth it have
Also whe you install it, please get some shots of the Android info, version, kernel, processor, the Bluetooth contacts/calling screens, and if you have access, the menu with the canbus settings/steering wheel controls
and the default music application and radio application
Thats lot, sorry
and thank you very much

Ditto - Is this really a funded project or are they getting Chinese units and branding them? No information is out there... The website is very limited.

Ditto. Currently working with them to get an Audi TT version. I am really stoked about the 10-15 sec startup time I keep hearing about but very few actual videos/reviews of this unit. I am also concerned about FM reception, screen brightness (last few android headunits had TERRIBLE washed out screens) and overall low voltage audio output quality (going to a DSP but still would prefer 4V minimum). PLEASE!! Anyone with the new Octacore whether it's 4.4 or 5.1, please share your thoughts.

I created new thread with all the questions and info that I've got directly from Thomas from InDashNet

Help on Head Unit Selection

Hi all,
I am currently looking to replace my car head unit on my mitsubishi lancer 2009 from stock to an android based unit.
I went thru a lot of thread and info in this forum and narrowed down my search to a few unit, but i'll be honest I am a bit overwhelmed with all the model and version available on top of all the information available.
can anyone help me figure the best option available ?
so far those model seem to be the most popular

is there one of those that really stand out from the others ?
would they all fit a standard double din ?
can I expect to run into any major issue setting this up in my car ?
bottomline, I am looking for a headunit I can use for radio, internet music like spotify, navigation like waze or google map and support for backing camera in america.
any help to figure out what is the best fit would be amazing.
Thanks a lot!

Erisin have very bad reviews, seems that their devices are quickly dying and they don't provide support and it seems that the FM reception is not that good. Joying are well supported but I read that the audio amplifier is not that good, Ownice and Pumpkin are popular but I do not know much (not sure about the components)

I like my C500 octacore 2GB so far. Very fast and everything I want is working fine.
All the apps I've tried so far are working great including the ones you mention above.

Please Help for my New Headunit RK3368 PX5

Hello I'm new, greet everyone, great performance to you, I have searched through, I also found rk3368 px5 pages for me, but maybe you can answer my questions better here?
See also pictures.
I would like to spruce up my new system with functions and a 360 degree view display with automatic switching. Is that possible?
I bought a system with 360 degrees, only it says that I have to connect it to the DVD input, but it is occupied by entertainment DVD players and font displays!
And if I connect it to the reverse camera, it only works with the reverse gear!
I would like to work one by one to get closer to my goal, would you help me?

You have an MTCE model. You better ask this in the MTCD/E areas of this forum:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcd-discussion-questions-development
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcd-android-head-units-general
W.r.t. "And if I connect it to the reverse camera, it only works with the reverse gear!"
Yes, of course it does. That is what a reverse camera is for.

Unbranded head unit microphone upgrade

Hi everyone,
I recently bought a used 2010 Prius with an android HU. It's unbranded (noname) and pretty weak (1gb ram). I could live with the android performance issues but the microphone is driving me crazy. Nobody can hear what i'm saying. The unit has an external mic and i wanted to upgrade it to a different one but for some reason, the mic that's connected to the HU has 5 wires (last picture) and the one i ordered only 2 (mono jack). There's also no mic jack. Here are my questions:
1. Is there a way to connect a different mono mic?
2. Does anyone have any idea what unit this is and where i can find a wiring diagram?
3. Can you recommend a better unit? I like the ones that look more like stock, with physical buttons.
4. Any known fix for the error in the picture? "Software has not been authorized legally" when trying to use Easyconnect to mirror my phone.
I need any info i can get, you don't have to have all the answers
Thanks!

I googled "Sp9853i_1h10_vmm" (taken from one of your photos). Turned up quite a few results. I have not had experience with that particular unit but maybe might turn up some useful information for you perhaps.

Not an MTCD, requesting mod moves to [Android Head units] forum.

Thanks for the reply. I've done that first the problem is there are multiple manufacturers with multiple configurations. I contacted Seicane and am still in the process of identifying the unit/software with them but the back and forth is pretty slow..

This is not your "standard" moddable unit, I'm afraid. Most information here and on forums like 4PDA is on units based on 2 main technologies:
1. 8227L Mediatek, system: YT921xx
2. Rockchip PX3, PX5, PX6, PX30 based on MTCx chip.
By having a quick look at what you got, the mic is the least of your problems. These units are packed with so called features but need considerable hardware and software modding to make them work and even excel.
Here is an example of one such modded units, started off as cheap £70 Android, and ended up performing on par with luxury Android units. The video shows the mods, just to give you an understanding.
To save you time, invest in a Dasaita MTCE unit as that one requires least mods to perform well. You can find them for around £200 on AliExpress. Good luck!

Thanks for the info. I'll look into one of the PX chips and go for dasaita.

so i've found a single Dasaita unit for Prius G3 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001625066855.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.20fa2e0eCiCqeA
The problem is i can't find this model on Dasaita website or store and i'm not sure it's real. I've emailed Dasaita but no reply..
There are multiple units from diferent brands (Ownice, Wondefoo..). Can i go for one of those? What should i look for?
Some sellers list the "K6 plus" version as the top of the line. Should i still go for PX6 or is that better?
