Which is the best pumpkin unit to buy which will fit a 5g lude? Im thinking of making an upgrade quite soon too?

I went for this one in the Odybus -

You can buy packages with the dash & reversing cam or fit your own.

Nice and clean!

(Well, I wouldn't have expected anything less.)

Always just used Google Maps myself, added advantage of being free which is the best price!

Been thinking about picking up one of these Pumpkin units for the Lude, how's the audio quality compared to the big brand stereos?

Ive a Pioneer MVH-8200BT in the ATR and it knocks spots off the Pumpkin audio wise. The Pumpkin is much better than the Honda HU, but it doesn't really compare to higher end stuff. But a Pioneer HU with half the features of the Pumkin would be £800 odd, so it is all relative.

Ohhh @Shiny thats a nice bracket, need to do the same for mine.

The sound quality is fine from the pumpkin units, some of it depends on what source you are playing, flac files will always sound much better than standard mp3's.

If anyone likes to tinker i have upgraded the firmware on mine to one developed on the xda forums. It's hands down miles better than the standard firmware, works much smoother and has more customizability. But as with any modified firmware this is at your own risk. Links below to threads for the Android 4.4.4 (older unit that i have) and android 5.1 (unit you have bought i think) builds. You just need to ensure you install the right screen res for your unit.

My lad installed Novalauncher on mine, so it has a much better interface without the associated risks of flashing it. I read the XDA forums and considered flashing, but decided to maybe wait until such a time as i was prepared to take the risk. Didn't want a £200 brick within days of owning it.

Novalauncher works well and i've downloaded poweramp for music, so i have a full graphic equaliser etc.

You guys seen the new Android Auto app? Version 2 runs on anything (doesn't require custom hardware in the car). I've got it on my phone so assume you'd be able to run it on these:
