Android 6.2 GPS DVD Player Navigation For JK / Insane Jeep ,Pumpkin and Ouku
Android 6.2 GPS DVD Player Navigation For Jeep Wrangler
I'm seeing this same dvd receiver (made by different brands ... Insane Jeep , Pumpkin and Ouku) on ebay and Amazon from anywhere in between $280 and $1000 (do the research)
I was wondering if anybody has bought one of these units and if so what was their impression of it? I'm also a full on Apple guy for the last 15 years, so I was wondering how the Android OS is? Is it easily customized? Any known limitations? Some also come with a rear camera and I wonder how hard the installation is.
Let me know, thanks.

I'm also an apple guy, and personally I hate the android OS, but in this case it allows me to do what I need to do. Back Country Topo Maps, GPS Navi, Torque app, gas buddy, two separate trail cams with record, back up cam, etc.

I run one in my '14 (around $350, plug in play version). Sound wise it's a step up from the OEM system. I have mine paired to a 400w amp, new Kicker speakers and a pair of Basslinks in the cargo area. Top down, doors off at 70 I'm running the volume on 15-17. All in all I'm very pleased with it, I'm no audiophile, but with the HU, amp, speakers and subs, my sound is very clean. All my steering wheel controls, etc work also.

~$350 sounds awesome for a 6" touch screen head unit with USB/Nav/Steering controls etc.

These have been around a lot longer than Insane Jeeps JK-01 unit. Looked into them back in 2013.
Ostensibly the same as the 1000 HU. I think Insane tweaks the OS a little and may include a few apps. But honestly it isn't anything that you can't pull off the play store that I can tell.

If you look at the details you will see there are only a few different versions. They are all made in the same factory in GZL province in China, so whig you choose basically comes down to OS and faceplate. They have one with Windows something, which I wouldn't trust to run correctly more than 70% of the time, and two versions of Android, 2.xx and 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. Faceplate style, there are a couple of different styles depending on who they are suppling. As long as you pick up one of the Plug N Play versions for the JK everything else comes down to your personal preference. I'll post up pics of my JB 4.2 in a few sec's will be a couple different replies since I'll be doing cell pics, I'll attempt a Vid with sounds first but not sure if I'll be able to upload without hosting it on YT or some such.
Warranty... These are Chinese... so pretty much the same warranty you see on all the chela light bars that have flooded the market. There's one in writing, but getting any support or warranty fulfillment is up in the air. Personally I say don't rely on it, and keep that in mind if you purchase. If warranty is that important to you skip the $300 HU and go with the Insane version.
