Hey Pete Thanks you have really inspired me to get this done in my own truck!! Tomorrow I’m going to install it into my 2007 GMC Canyon. I can’t wait till tomorrow for me to put that stereo in my truck and let my pet cockroach watch me get her done!!💯👍

Thanks, great video! Getting ready to do my own install in a 2004 Sierra. Also, you might consider adding a link for a wire harness that comes with a data bus that retains door chime, etc. (example, Metra LC-GMRC-01). Also, when taking out the factory radio I’ve seen a note that the dash support needs to be cut out to allow larger radios to be installed. Guess I’ll find out soon enough.

You inspired me to do the self install for my mom's Toyota Rav 4 with the atoto! I read the reviews on Amazon for the stereo and they seemed great buy you totally sold me on it with your transparency and the ease of how well you explained everything perfectly! I'm no car expert at all but have always wanted to be and I hope with watching your videos I'll get there one day!! 😁

Tap the RAP wire from the BCM Gray,B3 dk blue wire so the radio stays on while on standby mode. I did it that way and it's much better then taping the AC.

Thx Bro! You saved my day!!!!

[@dereksdiatribe]

Tip for anyone installing any head unit on these year trucks.... you HAVE to connect the red accessory wire from the radio harness to a switched wire as shown in this video. If you connect the red accessory wire to the 3rd party harness as shown, it will NOT power up as, I've learned, there is no switched power in the factory radio harness. No, I have no idea how the factory radio powers up without a dedicated accessory wire. Good luck.

[@lulop022882]

Has to do something with the 03 and above full size GM trucks using a CANBUS system. The 99-02 were simpler, they used 12 volts to power everything. The newer trucks run everything through the BCM makes for a more complicated electrical system.

[@sourdeaux5716]

This was a very helpful video. My truck is a 2013 Sierra and I was still able to use this. The one thing I can't figure out is a 12v switched ignition source in my dash fuse box using a fuse tap. Tried dome lights and BCM, but the radio retains power after the accessory shuts off. Any suggestions?

[@garyspencer511]

A little late to the party....outstanding video guys!!! I was looking at the 10in ATOTO A6 Pro, but the overall look of the smaller unit convinced me to change that thought for my 2004 Avalanche. Hoping to be able to get all factory "stuff" working (steering wheel controls, Sat Radio, etc). I have a wireless backup camera, but am going to switch to the ATOTO since I will have a nice screen. Should be easy wiring from the back, lots of room underneath the truck. Might even get a forward facing camera - saw good video of where that could go....

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Glad the video helped! :)

[@garyspencer511]

@@TheSundaeDrive Well, I just purchased the stuff, but the video will give me all I need, except maybe for how to retain my steering wheel controls. I'll lose Sirius XM, but I can use my phone app/android auto for that. Don't care about OnStar.....

@@TheSundaeDrive To clarify - the Silverado you installed into did not have a Bose factory system, steering wheel controls, etc?

[@Condorflyful]

Hello there, I have a question, I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado Z71, I followed your video and installed everything as per your instructions. The only issue was the radio antenna adapter that came with the harness didn't fit, the connector on the truck is a pin connector, but on the adapter the female connector hole has a fine pin in there. Any ideas?

[@johnboivt]

Thank you!

[@TheSundaeDrive]

No problem! Glad it helped!

[@1SICKGLI]

I love how well you explain how to install the radio. I have the steering wheel control on my truck and I wanted to retain. Do you reccomend a stereo wiring harness???

[@TheSundaeDrive]

You'll need a separate interface module to retain steering wheel controls. The harness that we solder in the video includes the factory audio. We will be shooting a video soon that shows how to connect steering wheel controls

[@rvm4574]

I bought the harness to use on a 2005 gmc envoy because I was told it was the one I needed. After wiring harness to the radio harness I get nothing. The radio doesn't even power up. I'm betting it is a pin in the wrong place issue. Also after watching several other videos I see people talking about running the red wire to the ignition switch. Any info woulkd be appreciated!

[@luciano3617]

So the red 12v ignition wire thats on the quick connect harness is not being used? Only the one from the aftermarket radio harness?

What would you have to do to keep the factory’s controls when installing the atoto in the Silverado? I have a 06 Sierra and I have factory controls that I want to keep, I’m suggests?

[@JupiKitten]

Question about the switched power for the 12 volt red wire... I'm installing in a 2007 silverado (new body NOT classic), do I still need to worry about tapping into another wire as shown in the video? If so which wire exactly should I use? Brown wire on the bottom isnt really helpful since it could be totally different to other models/years.

Hey, quick question about the WiFi... just wondering if the head unit can load audio from the network? Understand not a usual configuration, but have a NAS unit in my motor home, and would be cool to access it via the head unit. Cheers

[@Karma-1221]

Well done brother! Seriously i feel way more confident on this install now. I have a 2005 Chevy Impala LS with an after market JVC headunit. The stock amp has been by passed I would assume since the radio works, but honestly I've never pulled it out. Any suggestions or tips?? Or is it pretty much what you already described? I was planning on throwing on the rear view camera and steering controls. So other then adding those two on the harness do you for see any other issues I should know? Most importantly are you happy with the Atoto? I guess I should've led with that lol

[@TheSundaeDrive]

We've been extremely happy with atoto a6 pro. We have a full in depth review of the unit and the backup camera installation up on the channel as well so I would check those out. My first suggestion before buying anything would be to pull out what you have installed and see how it is wired up. Look for a working diagram for your vehicle so you can determine what goes where.

[@johngonzales8961]

I have looked at many videos, not one can tell me how to update my contacts on A6 Pro. Thanks John

Awesome! Glad it was useful! It does not affect the chimes on non-canbus systems. for canbus systems (often ones with the upgraded sound systems) you'll need an additional interface module. We will be uploading a video soon that shows how to setup a system when an interface module is required.

Great video. I have a 2012 Silverado and looking to get the same stereo. My truck already have the speaker for my bluetooth and this stereo comes with one. Do i need to replace the one the truck comes with or can i continue to use it with the new stereo?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

The built in Bluetooth OnStar microphone does not use a 3.5mm audio plug. It instead uses a different type of connector. I have seen people try to use the factory OnStar mic with an aftermarket headunit without any luck however I have also seen people use this product to keep the factory Bluetooth/OnStar in their trucks: amzn.to/2BNe5L8 With the item I linked you probably won't use the stereo for bluetooth phone calls

[@quinnstewart9165]

Why didnt you show us how you connected the 12v red extension wire?

[@miked6434]

I've watched this a few times, love the detail. But, on the quick connect harness, the Red wire that doesnt connect to anything on the car side of the connector (3:21), why connect anything to it? Can't I just bend it over and tape it off and just connect the Red accessory wire from the head unit side (6:20) to the 12v switched wire on the back of the a/c controller? I'm not understanding why even use that wire? Please help. Seems the way its shown is to connect both Red wires together then connect the 3rd wire the extension to the 12v switched wire on the A/C.......Is that correct? BTW this is for a 2006 Silverado 1500 (NO Bose)....... It should be exactly the same as your 2004 in this video.

[@luciano3617]

[@RobsTechs]

Can you just install the wifi antenna in the stereo where it will be hidden and the mic on top of the stereo less wiring around trims and such

[@TheSundaeDrive]

The antenna should work there yes. You'll just need the mic somewhere near where you talk because it doesn't pick up voice the best if it is far

[@unaembalmer]

can i install the a6 with wiring harness shown in video into a bose system and just lose some steering wheel and onstar features? will it work? what features will i lose?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Usually the Bose systems add some complexity to this and the wiring harness adapter that we used probably won't be the one you want. To keep steering wheel controls, the Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Adapter should work. For a harness that will work with Bose and keep OnStar this should work: - Metra GMOS OnStar Interface for GM Systems: www.amazon.com/Metra-GMOS-OnStar-Interface-Systems/dp/B000980HC4/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=2004+chevy+silverado+radio+wiring+harness&qid=1558842033&replacementKeywords=radio+wiring+harness&s=gateway&sr=8-1&vehicle=2004-47-491------------&vehicleName=2004+Chevrolet+Silverado+1500

Aww man ☹️ that really sucks. I am sorry to hear that. I just double checked the link and that is the exact one we used. The fitment was tight because of the rounded edges on the bezel and the square edges on the unit. We were able to get it on tho and once we did it fit. It was snug for sure tho.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

So after using it for a couple of weeks I will say that it works quite well. The only hand gesture controls that I use are volume up and volume down so that’s kind of a gimmick for now. Ever since receiving the single that allows Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to work i have been using that and it has been working extremely well. Before having the CarPlay dongle I was using the Bluetooth and it worked very reliably. Audio sounded good and it would connect quickly and start playing music. The hands-free microphone is “OK”. People can understand me but the quality isn’t too great. The auto dimming screen worked good at first but ever since daylight savings it hasn’t been dimming the screen properly when it gets dark outside so I lay have to mess with those settings more to fix it again. I’m not sure how the audio amp RMS compares to other Android headunits but it sounds good with my truck speakers.

I bought a metra wiring harness and wired it up as indicated. however, the Atoto only works when the car key is on ACC. If I start the car the Atoto will power up but then enter a boot loop. This seems like it might be a power issue, do I need to do the 12V power tap like you did in this video ?

Hmm I wonder if you could use a joycon EXR steering wheel control module like the one here www.mo-co-so.com/mobile/Product.aspx?id=37736 It wires up to the resistive steering wheel wires and then you program it and plug it into the usb of an androids tablet. What kind of vehicle do you have?

[@weldphd]

James D. Were able to figure out the steering wheel controls? I’ve been unsuccessful.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

We haven't installed a kit into a vehicle with steering wheel controls yet so no updates but when we do we will make a video 👍

[@kylestanford9208]

I just installed the PAC RP5-GM11 harness with the Atoto A6 tonight in my 2006 Silverado. The install is straightforward with both sets of instructions from the harness and the head unit. The steering controls were the tricky part. I used trial and error and eventually was able to get it working after a few hours of messing with different combinations. On the RP5-GM11 control box, there is a numbered dial you turn to match the head unit you're using. If installing the Atoto A6, turn the dial to the number 7 BEFORE plugging the harness into the vehicle. While you are wiring the harnesses together, you have to wire the blue/white wire from the PAC Steering wheel control harness to the orange (Steering Control#+) wire on the Atoto harness. Leave the 3.5mm aux plug unhooked from anything. Then once plugged in and fired up, go on the head unit, go to settings, general settings, steering controls. Select the button you want to program (volume up, down, etc.), it will start flashing, the select the corresponding button on your steering wheel and the selected item should have a small flag pop up on the screen to show it is programmed. Repeat for the rest of your buttons then click save. Done.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Thank you for the info! This is the one thing we haven't done yet

[@lukiss01]

I have Bose. Any ideas how I set it up?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

You'll need some additional hardware. Bose may operate over canbus (not positive of this) but if it does you will need a device that is compatible with the atoto head unit and your amplifier. Not sure which that one will be. First step is to determine if the system is canbus or not.

[@itzmrfizz]

Just an FYI ATOTO is a Linux based system not android. Great video though! Thank you!

@@TheSundaeDrive like where which wire do you suggest? Thanks

[@TralfazConstruction]

"If I send power to the wrong wire..." I'll tell you that this is possible. In February of 1984 I was installing a new Craig Road Rated Receiver ©️ in my wife's '82 Buick Regal. Somehow I managed to cross a wire to the dash lights and when I tried everything out that evening the interior of the Regal lit-up like the sun. I forget exactly what I did wrong but I eventually found the problem. I was fortunate to not have set the car on fire.

[@CharlieSmith-de7qd]

has anyone had an issue with a whining noise coming through the speakers after installing? i believe it could be the alternator. I soldered all connections well so i don’t know what is causing the loud noise

Is the Bluetooth function reliable to use with Waze and Pandora. thanks

[@TheSundaeDrive]

The Bluetooth works very well. Connects every time I start the truck and will automatically pick up where the music was when I launch the Bluetooth phone app. The audio still works even when going back to the home screen on the device and doing other things. One thing I noticed was that even when I toggle BT1 to be off in the phone app my phone will still connect to it via BT.. Need to figure out what is happening with that. If you are wondering what BT1 is, what I mean is there are 2 Bluetooth modules... BT1 is for the music and phone calls and BT2 is for tethering and data transfer type stuff. Another thing I've noticed is that when playing music over Bluetooth the app on the headunit does not show a progress slider of where you are in the song so you can't scrub forward/backward.

[@tigerbone321]

Thanks for the response.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

If you pick up the dongle which we have linked in the description you can also use Android auto or car play which allow you to have Pandora and Waze on the display with audio. Both work well

I need to buy this unit but only found a retailer out of the states is there anyone selling these here in the USA 🇺🇸?

Do the factory chimes still work with the wiring harness? I have found the low fuel chime and turn signal chime helpful and wouldn't want to loose them with this install.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

To our knowledge, any vehicle without canbus systems will retain the factory chimes. If you have a canbus system, you will likely require an additional module (you will see this module in a video we have coming in the next couple of weeks on a Jeep Wrangler install of the Atoto). The chimes still work in Pete's Silverado which did not have a canbus system. The module required will vary with the make and model. The factory chimes and signals also still work in our friend's wrangler with the canbus system.

[@TechnologyConscious]

Do you know if it has a connection for steering wheel buttons?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

It is compatible with steering wheel controls. This truck didn't have them but we will be showing how to do it with a different atoto head unit on a Dodge ram in a future video.

[@TechnologyConscious]

Thanks for the quick reply. Also, my car has a factory backup camera and mic. Would that just plug in?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

The ram also has one so we will go through that as well. We have not done it yet so I am not sure but we will find out 👍

[@tigerbone321]

Do you need to purchase a dongle for Android auto to work and if so where can I buy it.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Yes! The dongle supports Android auto and apple car play. Both work well. We actually will have a video coming out soon. On it. For Android auto to work, you'll need to install an apk on the unit. The instructions come with the dongle

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Does it only work for android or can can it work for iPhone to

[@TheSundaeDrive]

It works for iPhone if you buy the ATOTO AC-CPAA48 adapter. I use it daily and it works well for CarPlay. We just uploaded a video showing how it works

[@cyclinglifetj]

You can istall the gps antena iside the dash, no need to istall it on the window,

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Yes you can. Pete opted for the window to make sure he had the best connection. I install them inside the dash all the time without an issue

[@tigerbone321]

Can you lock the screen for privacy..

[@TheSundaeDrive]

So I just went to check this, in the Settings -> Security menu there is something called Data Protection which seems to let you set a pattern to lock individual files from being accessed. If I go to the bottom there is an option to turn on Screen Lock, however, when I select it nothing happens. It is not grayed out but it doesn’t allow me to set a password, pin, or pattern to secure the device. I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible though, so I’ll try and get that figured out before I say with 100% certainty that it can’t be done

[@chinoking356]

Will it fit a 2002

[@TheSundaeDrive]

This was out in a 2004. Should fit in a 2002 might be some slight trimming behind the dash but ours fit with no trimming

[@alidangerfields7726]

??what is the reasoning for hooking the red pwr. wire to climate control power instead of the actual harness???

[@TheSundaeDrive]

It was just a convenient place to access switched power. It works with the truck in accessory mode which is why we picked it; however, we will probably be changing it to be connected to another source that remains on for a few mins after the vehicle is turned off. Currently, when Pete shuts the truck off, he has to turn it back into accessory mode for the radio to come back on while parked

[@RandomThings242]

What wire did you end up connecting too for switched power, to keep radio on after truck is shut off?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

We haven't changed it yet from what we used in the video

[@oppkiller7250]

Can this be done in a 2010 canyon sle?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

With the correct brackets and wire harness it should be doable as long as there is enough space behind the dash.

Is this compatible with a mercedes benz r350 2006?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

I looked up some pictures of your interior and I would suggest first popping out your screen and making sure there is enough room for it to be installed in the dash. Try to find someone that has installed a double DIN unit onto your vehicle as the head unit dimensions are pretty standard. You will also need to find a cover plate made for your car and if you want any steering wheel controls to still function, it may require any additional module (watch our SA102 install guide which gives an example of steering wheel control compatibility).
