That 4.4 unit looks interesting. Kind of unclear on the manufacturer and model number, so can't search for a thread on it.
There's also this 4.4 unit, but they aren't quite shipping yet according to the XDA thread on it.

Thanks Man. The unit your shared was great. But I still the other one. The unit was pumpkin manufacturer the model number was KD-C0224, I will contact the seller to know more about it.
I'd love to hear more about the 4.4 Pumpkin unit. One thing I am wondering about it how that 3G dongle works. Does it take a SIM card? How do you connect it to a carrier without a phone #?

Note the one I shared is a quad core. But the user interface seems kind of meh.

Sounds everything good. I would plan to buy in the near future. If your guys who have ever bought from the pumpkin, please shared the review.

The KD-C0224 looks nice, though I much prefer *****. The KD-C0223 appears to be a 4.4 Kitkat version of my JY-C0227 / GS-C0219, which came with 4.2 Jelly Bean but can be upgraded to later versions of Android according to the FAQ:

A: android unit can update the 4.4 kitkat. If you bought unit from ebay, amazon or other, please contact it after-sale service. Any questions please feel free to let me know.

800*480(WVGA) works out to 150 ppi for the 6.2" display and 132 ppi for the 6.95" display. Do you think that's insufficient for a head unit mounted in the dash 2-3 feet away? It looks great to me!

Come on, folks. The Subscribe to this Thread option under Thread Tools works just fine on this and every other BBS I've used over the past 20 years.
Back on topic, the following video shows how to update this HU from 4.2.2 to 4.4.4 using this firmware update. My HU works great as is, and the enhancements are not particularly relevant to me, so I will likely wait for 5.0.
