Information on Pumpkin 12-C0257-US

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.

Joying, Canbus decoder and info displayed

I would like to configure the information transfered to original display (radio RDS info, songs names, etc...)
By default on 5.1, Joying can transfer some information such as "Welcome" on power on, Mute, Volume and Radio frecuency /Song list info

What's Can bux box upgrade menu for?
Have you ever used it?

Can bux box upgrade menu (I belive) is for upgrading CAN box adapter FW coming with some HUs. I did not see any CAN box FWs available from say Joying though.

Yes... It's estrange because anybody is talking about this xd
I think all chinese interfaces are the same, but with different configuration for every car model/makes

Does it ever display any text, like track name or station name? Or is it all static like MUTE, FM 1, AM 1.
I'm trying to figure out if the head unit sends the text, or if it's hard coded into the canbus decoder box.

I hope we can find something, it would be great
In my opinion it has to be on the radio because of the "current/total" song, is has to get the strings from the radio value, never make them up

Mine (MaxiDot) only displays in FM Radio HU mode: Ch4 103.40 Mhz, FM2 and in Misic Player mode: TOC 369/592 TIM: 0:09 SD. That's it.

Looking for advice on a Android head unit for my VW Touareg

I don't know why I didn't just come to XDA first. I recently picked up a 2008 VW Touareg. The factory Nav system has to go, it's like playing a 8-bit video game and don't even get me started on how tedious it is using the search function without touch screen controls.
What I am looking for in a head unit:
Obviously running Android OS
Customizing ability, aka rooting, custom ROM and/or Launcher. I here THIS launcher is good, but I don't know if it works with all Android head units.
Backup Camera support (a bonus would be to be able to keep my OEM camera)
DVR to use with dash cameras
Steering wheel control support
Ability to install 3rd party apk's as well as use the Google Play store for apps.
It seems all the Android head units have one thing in common, they are all weird companies I've never heard of from China and the support I get is very limited when I have questions. Even if I go to Alibaba there are like 10 radios that all look the same. It also seems they all do about the same thing and have the same look so knowing what is what is not easy. This is where I am hoping you guys can help.
I have my eye on the company Seicane. They make THIS unit that will fit right in with no dash mods but the downside is a smaller screen. So with that said, I am leaning to a full double din radio but a lot of these are universal and don't say specifically if they work for my make/model car. I attached a pic of my OEM head unit if it helps.

Thanks in advance for any answers you have.

I don't have any experience with the seicane or other android units yet (i'm looking at getting my first one now as well). That seicane unit should just drop right in with no issue which is nice. Other standard double din units should work, but you'll need to use a dash install kit. Be careful though. From what i've been reading it sounds like a lot of these chinese units are a slightly different size than standard double din. larger by a couple mm I think. They still fit, but you may have to modify the dash kit a bit to fit it.

Looking for advice on a head unit

Hi all,
Been doing some research and am looking to get a HU to take on a round-the-world overland trip in an SUV. Want something decently stable, don’t want to spend too much. Has to be a 2DIN standard unit. Been reading the forums here but getting a bit lost between the Aliexpress units. A few questions.
- Should I get built in LTE, or a USB dongle? LTE is basically required as I’ll be using Google Maps / Waze on the trip.
- Do all units basically have the same 7” 1024x600 screen?
- I want it to be relatively snappy. Intel or Mediatek octacore?
Any advice on what to get? I don’t need a DVD so if that helps save space / pick a better unit, I’m all for it.
Thanks for any help!

I have a 10.2 inch Dasaita universal, huge amazing IPS panel., so there are a few options on siza but mine might block too much of your car factory controls.
I am also looking at doing a 4g lte dongle but the deck, and most android head units will, works awesome just with a wifi Hotspot from your phone.
I think most dongles are tied to manufacturers so you might want to look at each deck offers. I could be wrong on this and someone way smarter than I on these deck might be able to answer that.

Thanks. Yeah I was considering a pop-out one, but for the car that I want, I'm worried it'll block the controls...
As for LTE, yeah the hotspot is probably good enough, but in my "day to day" car I got a LTE-capable 10.25" unit, and it's pretty awesome - I don't need to think about anything, it just works. The 2DIN one would be for my dad more than me, and... well, yeah, it really needs to just work, otherwise I'm afraid it'll go unused

How to upgrade Android version on head unit? "YT9216BJ"

Hey All.
I just got a head unit for my 2005 Mazda and found out that the actual version is Marshmalllow 6 instead of the advertised 8.1.
Do most head units come with fake 'upgrades'? I used Aida64 app to query list my device (hope accurate).
Is there a way to actually install Android 8.1 on my head unit?[/SIZE][/SIZE]
Unit Info:
YT9216BJ_00012_V001_20200515 <--- build I.D. kernel version (supposedly)
MCU 3.1
Alps AC8227L_demo <--- (not upgradable?)
And... what the heck is 'XY Auto' ?

I had an issue with connecting to my steering wheel control until I went into the Factory Settings to change my CanBus info.
After cycling through different providers and versions I found the 'Raise - 22017 Mazda' works for my 2005 control. (finally says 'connection' instead of 'disconnect")
The only issue I still have is Not being able to connect my stock OEM LCD panel to the head unit, different connection (12-pin vs. 14pin)
Another con I have to get used to: No AM Radio, FM only.
But overall, not too bad for a $130 unit to upgrade my stock radio in my old car.
Now if I can actually get Android 8.1 on it.
Anyone know where I can get latest firmware that'll work for this particular unit ?

Looks like I have the same HU than you in my 2018 Sorento. I'll take a look to see what Aida64 has to say about mine.

Check out this guide to make your unit much better. Faster, better looking and with unlimited tweaking options as well as vast sound improvements.

can anyone know where I can get this update for Android car stereo
update name- "UP_UI19_F27LJ_00011_V001

Hello does this mod or any other fit my radio
