This is the most thourough, defined and explanatory review/demo I have viewed on this type of product. I tip my hat to your team.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Thanks :)

[@LordCommandor]

@@TheSundaeDrive BestBuy installed this reviewed radio in my wife's car yesterday and the audio sucks major ass compared to the boss radio I had in there. You guys do these review videos and leave out most important review of a car stereo....sound quality. All that touch screen bullsh...t you talk about in your review is totally unusable especially on a 300-400 miles road trip. Sound quality is the main component of a car stereo for long trips. Sending that POS ATOTO back to Amazon and going with real car stereo like Pioneer or Kenwood next month. Thanks for nothing.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Sound quality is something incredibly hard to review and quantify when reviewing these because every vehicle is so different and every user has their own preferences of what they like. The exact same radio will sound very different to two different users. Ideally we would have some sort of sound studio we could hook this up to a 'typical' (but then again, what is typical) vehicle system and bring in multiple people to rank the system sound and attempt to create some sort of usuable matrix of quality. For our truck, the sound quality was just as good if not better than stock but it is a very basic sound sysem.

[@rheise4876]

@@TheSundaeDrive Is your head unit still working good? I heard that they only last like a year..

[@TheSundaeDrive]

No issues with ours.

[@Maediros1]

Honestly, this is the best review I have seen for any kind of head unit. You answered every question I had, without me even asking them and even convinced me on getting one for myself!

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Awesome! Glad it helped you out!

[@Paul-bp9hf]

Great video guys! Ive bookmarked it for reference. Lots of features on this unit. At my age, 69, it's easy to forget all the features and paths to get there. By now, with so many comments, you may already know Atoto killed the auto update feature because of customer issues where auto update caused issues. Think auto update would crash if you suddenly lost wifi to the unit. It made sense. Who has their unit connected to their wifi network all the time? When I purchased my a6 pro I was told you have to check myatoto support page for update notices and download links. You have to then put those update file(s) on a clean sd card or usb thumb drive and install update. Making sure you have a secure power supply to the unit and do not interrupt the install process. I just did an update back in Oct or Nov 2019. Btw. Usb adapter works great. To go wireless android auto you can try Head Unit Reloaded. Emil at xda has an additional app wifi launcher for HUR. My s7 just wont work. The permissions to start phone wifi hotspot just won't let it start. I've tried Tasker, Good Luck 2018 Routines, and a combo of both apps to run tasks. The Routine did turn on the wifi hotspot, but still HUR display goes from its main window to black screen when I select its WIFI MODE. I did get its USB MODE to work but using the adapter I bought from Atoto that does the same thing as HUR"s USB MODE. But I just wanted to not have to plug in the usb cable each time I wanted to use Android Auto. That's why I installed HUR and Emil's WIFI launcher for HUR. My phone just wont work that way but many others have had success. Get it to work and you can save yourself the $35 bucks for that adapter cause u wont need it. And you can possibly get Android Auto to connect wirelessly. "Look Mom...no usb cable!!!". Emil has his apps on Play Store and on XDA website. Good luck.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Very in depth and thank you for those pointers! Hopefully we can get a nice repository of information in the comments

[@BoltRM]

Thanks Paul! I'll check it out after I get the unit. (too hot to install now during the summer here in S. Louisiana lol). I kept wondering if there was a way to update from the USB.. 🤔 Probably good to use the "Backup" feature before updating I'm guessing. I'm excited, this is just what I've been looking for

[@czook812]

Just installed this yesterday and going from having a simple 5 preset stations to a tablet is pretty overwhelming 😅. Great, straightforward video explaining almost every function.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Glad it helped!

[@Liberty4Ever]

Thanks for the review. It was a great explanation of setup, quirks and daily use. It gave a great synopsis of what it's like to own this ATOTO Android head unit. I'm now leaning toward an upper end ATOTO for my 4Runner and a lower end ATOTO for my 1996 Daihatsu Hijet. In both cases, I plan on stripping out a bunch of the complexity by uninstalling apps I don't use, and then keeping it entirely off the internet after that. I don't like being tracked or monetized. I plan on a temporary internet connection to install a few apps that I use, notably OSMand+ for offline GPS navigation, then keeping it off the internet after the initial installation. I wish ATOTO did more than the least they could do to nominally check the DVR box. I'd like the forward and rear cameras to be recording any time the ignition is on, and I'd like the date, time and GPS speed to be superimposed on the recorded video. Apparently, ATOTO DVR records front view only and no GPS speed, so I still need a separate DVR to have usable capabilities. I'd use the front camera as an interior view cop cam to record traffic stops but it apparently doesn't record audio. In most other regards, ATOTO seems to provide the features and capabilities that customers want. It's a shame their DVR is almost unusable.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Yeah the DVR is not great

[@bobg1315]

Hey Peter. Very informative. There is another youtuber (jpulley) that showed how to get steering wheel controls without a kit, its pretty simple. I have an F 150, new Atoto A6PF. I found the wire he showed, then figured out which pin it was. Then I looked at my scosche wiring harness, and that pin was unused, but wired. So I used that, and did not have to tap into the wire. Worked great.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Thank you for the tip!

[@cesilycarrillo4844]

Great review. A simple helpful starting guide ! Atoto a6 pro has soo many capabilities it will take some time to fully learn and get use to. I recently bought and installed this unit and I love it soo far. I have never seen a radio like this .. and for this price. I did a lot of searching before I purchased. I have the atoto a6 pro with gesture and it’s soo fun, and different .. I get a lot of compliments. Not to mention the color of the screen and the video quality is awesome . I love this unit .. could not be happier. Super modern looking . I get happy every time I enter my car 😅

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Awesome! Glad the video helped you out!

[@blamuk]

No high pass cross over for the front speakers (to block the bass when there's already a subwoofer) that is such an important function if you want good sound.

[@danielirving7209]

If you have one of these, have you found an app for more detailed crossover controls?

[@ficmrepair]

While there may be no high pass cross over, if you ran your speakers from an external amp instead of using the internal amp in the radio head unit, the cross over could be done there and you'd also have better sound as the dedicated amps commonly have, well, better amps in them.

[@rolfathan]

The Pro WITHOUT gestures is only $250. It has a better amp, and a MUCH better screen than the Standard version.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Yup! If you want to save a lil you can get the pro without gestures (looks like current price is $260)

[@TheSundaeDrive]

The pro without gestures control and with gesture control have the same screen which is the best out of the line up

[@TheSundaeDrive]

No problem! Glad too help

Good in depth video but it would of been nice to have some more demonstrations for Spotify & Netflix. Also some more in depth information on the Bluetooth calling function.

I just installed one in my 2008 super duty. The new unit has a 3.5mm plug built into the wire harness that will plug into a steering wheel button module. This is different from the 3.5mm on the back of the unit. That one is for wireless steering controls. I installed a aswc-1 module. It didn't auto recognize the Atoto. Just manually select the radio type. Use radio type 8. It's labeled for Boss and some other radio, but works for Atoto to.

[@soggyfries4347]

I really like the Android interface with these stereos however, they all seem to lack decent RCAs. It seems like all Android car stereos lack attention to this feature set that even the crappiest brand car stereo offers. Then when I look at the double din touch stereos offered by name brand car stereos they all have great connectivity but they typically will use their own propitiatory OS to run the stereo. Which always seem to be lacking compared to even the oldest version of Android.

[@jeremyseward6973]

Where u able to connect a 4 channel amp up to it cuz I’m struggling. Never had such a hard time doing 4 channel amps cuz most aftermarket’s do indeed come with multiple rca outputs. Frustrating 🤦‍♂️

Incredibly detailed review, thanks! Couple of questions. 1) My sunglasses are polarized and when I wear them, my current stereo's display becomes very dim (unless I tilt my head 90 degrees). Does the ATOTO have the same issue? 2) Can you listen to the radio and hear turn-by-turn directions at the same time? Or in general, how does it handle cases where multiple apps want to play audio?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Thanks! 1) I can see the screen fine with polarized glasses. They don’t affect it much, if at all. 2) It handles GPS directions through Bluetooth while using and listening to the radio app very well. It seems to do a pretty good job with multiple apps that want to play audio.

I'm a little bit confused...this Atoto unit has its own full installation of Android and can link to your phone via bluetooth to make calls. It can also link to your phone to access the internet. So why would anyone need to have Android Auto functionality? It makes sense if you have this unit and an iOS device. I just don't get what Android Auto would do that the unit itself can't already do.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

The only plus side is full integration of your phone to the display for messages and music and you don't need to setup a hotspot too use Google maps. Having an Android head unit does eliminate a lot of the need for Android Auto tho

Thanks for your work through / review, i want to know if this will fit my wife's car ( citroen C3 piscasso exclusive hdi 2010).

[@The_Brew_Dog]

I have this in my 2008 GMC Sierra 2500 HD. The truck has steering controls but I haven’t been able to find the schematics I need in order to wire it in. Does anyone have that info by chance? Maybe you covered it in another video and I missed it. Great coverage of the A6. It really helped with my install.

[@spydaman617]

Did you end up finding out?

Great video. I just installed this unit and i can't seem to get my phone contacts onto the unit. I do not have the dongle for apple CarPlay so maybe that is my issue.. Any tips you have?

[@diego81683]

I can get the wifi to connect but when I play somthing on KZbin I can see the video but no sound. Any advice?

How do you change the background to like pictures or like something Else

[@Mr2greys]

Just came across this as I am looking at doing a double din in my 98 TJ but I want to use the camera as a rock camera. Curious if it can be done.

[@luderick]

Thank you for a wonderful and detailed review - has there been an update of this product?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

No problem! Had no issues with it at all but we swapped out for an S8 model atoto about 6 months ago to test that. No issues with either one 👍👍

[@TheSundaeDrive]

We also have a 12 month update on this a6 on the channel you can check out.

Can you make it turn on faster? And how do I set a radio station to default when I start my Jeep? It’s preset is a static station and it takes so long to turn on it’s hard to find a station while driving especially since i have a standard that I’m still learning to drive 🤦‍♀️

I see Kaelin's number has been leaked. 2 years and 174k views later, I'm gonna assume she's been called at least once or twice

[@ARCSSelfDefense]

any additional thoughts on this over the last year? Also, any opinions about buying one today considering it is a 3-4 generations behind on Android now, but ATOTO hasn't put out one with an updated version on Android yet?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

They our promising a new one in the next few months but it has be severely delayed because of the outbreak. We are supposed to be getting on to test

[@TheSundaeDrive]

We also have a one year update video on the channel :)

[@logicalson]

How can we make it start earlier? Mine is around 30-40 secs.

I've had my unit for 2 years and still can't figure out the blue tooth. Phone will not connect. Never had that problem with any other unit

[@philpreston3072]

After turning the car off does music playing from the USB or SD card resume from where it left when you turn the car back on? And is there much delay?

How do you get the buttons at the bottom to illuminate?

[@willyd3927]

Question is there a button to turn on the backup camera without being in reverse? If so how did you wire it?

[@damiansanchez6962]

Great Video!!! My vehicle already have steering wheel control for the stereo... will the ATOTO head unit be compatible with it ?

[@GreaseCrease]

Not the poster of this video, but I do have this head unit. Yes you can map your steering wheel controls manually in the settings menu! It's what I have done.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Thanks for the response 👍👍and ditto

[@ThomasH7]

Hey do you guys have an after market and subs in your truck? With the sub output option, it seems that when you activate it that sub will work but the volume is adjusted separately from the main speaker volume so your sub plays the same loudness no matter the volume until you hit 0.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Hmm no we do not have aftermarket subs. Maybe there is an internal setting in one of the menus where the sensitivity can be adjusted.

[@ThomasH7]

@@TheSundaeDrive its sub output. Found out A means auto m means manual. Changed it back and readjusted my sub n amp. Now it sounds waay better. Appreciate your review, you sold me on it.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Awesome! Glad you were able to get it working👍👍

[@ronrandall7118]

Why doesn't the A6 Pro or A8 not support both Apple Carplay and Android Auto Receiver as does the cheapest ATOTO head unit, SA102 model for $150?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Not sure except that I think it was released first, we are testing the s8 which is their newest unit and that has a lot of the missing features

[@nickbruce8757]

Great video!

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! It ended up being a little long but there was a lot to go through 😬

[@woah954]

Oh I'm sorry, I also forgot to ask you....Was it a difficult install for your Chevy? I have a Trailblazer SS and wanted to know how hard it would be. Thanx again

Hi, great video. you skimmed over the DAB+ app, does it need an external dongle for DAB reception? Also, are is secondary USB port capable of connection, or just for charging? Finally will it connect to the original steering wheel controls, or do you have to purchase thier proprietary remote? Thanks

[@TheSundaeDrive]

You can get it work with steering wheel controls but you may need a module to interface it with. Watch our SA102 installation guide which we connect factory steering wheel controls too. You can do data of the USB. Not sure about the DAB+ question tho

[@chrisscott373]

Why can i not connect to bluetooth 2? it connects and immediately drops and says previously connected

Great job, really helpful!!👌🏾👍🏾

[@Motorpig251]

Great Content, but very hard for me to watch a video where people call a "button" a "buoon." Why did the younger generation start doing this? Thank you for the video though.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

[@StarOasis26]

Do you need to plug in the USB cable for the navigation to work?

[@diyertime]

when using the bluetooth phone link feature which speakers does the phone audio come out? I just installed the unit and it works fine but I only have rear speakers in my truck and I don't hear phone sound. I am thinking maybe phone sound only comes out front speakers. Can someone verify? I wish there was a forum for this radio.

[@Avantime]

At the start it was like "45 seconds boot time...for real?" and only after 7 minutes into the video did I realize that there's a battery-powered standby mode.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

I believe you are correct

[@TheSundaeDrive]

That is generally what the constant power connection is for

[@andrewmcc6935]

Atoto have just started selling a panoramic rear camera which looks pretty cool 😬

[@mumtaz1977]

Just a few pieces of information about this headunit (my own experience): In the firmware, only a very small part of the base android parts are translated into languages ​​other than English. I’m talking about things that are included in the base Android 6. It is incomprehensible why they were not included in this firmware. Bluetooth 1 disconnects from the phone many times. Or it seems to be connected and also shows the status of the phone in the HU status bar, but for example it does not often indicate or answer incoming calls. There is a description on the support.myatoto page for updating the bluetooth firmware, but it doesn't work for me. A real factory reset will not work from either the menu or the reset pin. Apparently it resets to factory settings, but, for example, the steering wheel remote control and other settings (and maybe some settings we don’t see) aren’t cleared. And who knows what other settings will remain. So in fact, the device does not fully reset to factory defaults. The recovery menu, which can be found on all android devices, cannot be accessed here or we do not know how to enter the recovery menu.

[@DoYourResearchBossMan]

Same here!! It pairs but does not let me play bluetooth. It only answers calls for me but does not play my music. Kinda pissed

Hi bro. How do you adjust the equalizer (EQ) in this A6 Pro?. I can't find any EQ setting for this head unit. Thanks

[@mannydrives]

I know you mainly use ACP but can you see either Here We Go or Sygic I’m the apps store on the unit? I’d like to know if any of these apps work on the ATOTO.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

I’ll try to install them this week and let you know how they work

[@mannydrives]

That would be greatly appreciated.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Just tried Sygic. It worked well for my trip. It is not slow or laggy and it will lower the radio or bluetooth music as expected when giving verbal directions

[@mannydrives]

@@TheSundaeDrive thank you for taking the time to check it out. I think I'll be getting the A6. Cheers!

Hey Pete I just installed the atotot a6 it’s not the pro, but now my music won’t play on Bluetooth. Any suggestions?
