The upgrade
The Pumpkin Universal has had an upgrade. The PX5 processor has served well, but the production of chips has moved to the scale-up of the newer PX6 processor. Pumpkin has engineered its flagship universal to take advantage of the faster chip and now fits the PX6 in their best universal Android headunits. We wave goodbye to the Pumpkin PX5 and welcome the technological advances that bring even greater speeds to keep ahead of the latest apps with the PX6.
The favorite just got better.

A universal fit is not specific to a particular vehicle and ideally suited to older cars and vans with a double din mounting. It is supplied with the standard generic ISO connectors, ideal for connecting adaptors for vehicle-specific applications available to make the installation much more plug-and-play.
