I have installed a chinese Pumpkin Android head unit in my Toyota Previa van and after adding an external 3G router and connecting it via an ethernet adapter and an car roof antenna I am now extremely pleased. I get close to perfect streaming video on the road!
I would love to supplement the small Pumpkin display with a roof mounted flip down monitor so the back passengers can watch youtube on a decent size screen. There are many of those on the market, so that should be easy.
However, it turns out that the video output connector of the Pumpkin head unit is only connected to signal of the DVD player! And I stubbornly refuse to go back to juggling with silver disks.
I assume these Android head units coming from China are all very similar. Has anyone ever tried isolating the signal of the head unit's LCD screen and connecting it to an external monitor? If so, please let me know so I can install a monitor that just mirrors the head unit's display.
