[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

Do Google Commands work with it?
How is bluetooth calling and hands free calling?
Are all apps compatible?
Also can you use google maps / waze simultaneously?

Allwinner T3 head unit bought from Seicane, can I enable bluetooth in the settings?

Hi all, I bought a 9 inch android 7.1.1 head unit from Seicane (yes I know they aren't the manufacturer, just a seller, I haven't worked out who the manufacturer is).
The built in bluetooth is only for phone functionality and A2DP. I was hoping to add a USB bluetooth device to it....but the bluetooth option is missing from settings. Is there a way to enable it? I'm aware it may not have drivers and it may not work, but I'm hoping (as it is a bit of an unknown) that its just the settings option missing and it will work if I can get that in.
Any help much appreciated!
I often see thread asking for device info screenshots.....so I will include them just in case lol

I like to know that too, I have the same problem and unit!

I have found things on adding bluetooth in, but I can't get root on the unit. Seicane are insisting they are the manufacturer and won't provide the firmware
Also can't get ADB to work over wifi, and USB seems to be stuck in host mode

Click on the Call Icon. You will get the Bluetooth connection settings there. Please Note: For all car units Bluetooth is always on and cannot be disabled.

Hello, it's 2021 but it looks like there is still no solution to this issue. I have an Allwinner T5 and I am faced with the same problem. I want to connect the head unit to an OBD scanner via Bluetooth. The issue is that, if you go to the network menu, Bluetooth settings is not available.

Currently I have an inexpensive head unit Allwinner t3. The Bluetooth OBDii doesn't connect. Was able to use the Cheap ELM 327 and both pair and connect with my iPhone. My android HU will not connect. Says it pairs with both 0000 and 1234.
Too me, it appears some software must be missing. My HU doesn't allow me to reset, but reset to where it was when I bought it.
Was going to buy another OBDII bluetooth scanner, then I saw many people having the same issue.
Anyway to verify the proper software on the head unit?

On another thread, someone suggested going into Config Info., in the settings, from Bc6, to BC8. Didn't and it didn't work. It also changed the Android Bluetooth name from CarLink, to iTop blah blah. Changed it back.
Does anyone know if we're missing system files on these android head units or anything else?

Same here i have T5 Android 10 but couldn't find the BT menu to setup OBD reader.

Hello, the BT menu should be a BLUETooth App. Just like picking Radio, Weather, YouTube etc. You might have to add one if it didn't come as a default. Others have said to add your OBDii first. i.e. do not add your phone or other bluetooth devices. If you're lucky enough to get it going and it works, wahoooooo! if not, keep looking like the rest of us. Basically, we've been had.

Thanks. You are right the bluetooth app is there and I could find my Konnwei OBD reader and linking it works. I also downloaded an app called Bluetooth finder and I could also pair using that.

What obdii app are you using with your konnwei 902? Does the app work on your Head Unit? Not just come on, but does the reading work? Unisoc Chip SC7331e quad core isn't a name brand. Type that in and see What brands pop up.

In case you don't know, you need a OBDii App on your head unit to work with your OBDii, unless they have one. If they do you still down to download that via Google play.

I have the problem.
Unfortunately, the radio still doesn't show the name of the station and I can't change the memory location of the station.
With the canbus I had to swap the two cables (7 canrx 13 cantx). Now the display is in the car work and i can see all. With the two sdcarten only the map slot work not work the other. The reversing camera only shows black and white, no more color. no matter what setting.

Who sent you these files? The seller? In this case: Get in contact and tell them that you have issues. If you got these files from elsewhere... Set it back to factory and get in contact with the seller.
BTW: There are a lot of threads about your MCU "STM32", please use the search and read around

Search for the MCU in this forum and tell the seller that you have issues. This unit is quite new... so send the unit back if they are not able to get it running.

Thx.
