Installing ATOTO A6 PF Double Din Radio in my Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee

[@cameronalessandrini374]

Thanks alot for the video! Just installed the A6, and backup camera. Works perfectly! I don't recommend using any T-taps. I used a couple, and none of them worked. I just sodered everything, now works like a charm! Steering wheel control was super easy with your method as well! Keep up the great work with the WJ content!

[@JolicoeurAbear]

does the A6 only work with Atoto camera?

[@ronr149]

Best channel for WJ owners

[@cargogh]

Nice! I've been wanting a WJ for months and just had this conversation today about some of things I'd want to upgrade--the radio one of them. Perfect timing!

[@NajarOffroad]

Yea I would definitely recommend this one still no issues with it and it turns on fast compared to the old Atoto and the Ousmin Amazon radio (I don’t recommend the Ousmin)

That is a killer radio!!! This would be perfect in our WJ if it was running!!!! Man I miss my Grand!!!!!🤘🤘🤘

[@NajarOffroad]

I like the apple CarPlay! Especially wireless

[@LuTsCh_mEiNe_kLaBuStErBeeReN]

i love your channel since a few years ❤ friendly shoutout from Frankfurt Germany ❤

[@kyleb4151]

This is perfect man, I love this channel and your suggestions!

[@NajarOffroad]

Thanks man! I did get this sent out by the company to make a video but honestly it’s been the best radio from Amazon I have used. Doesn’t lag, wireless CarPlay, and under $200 can’t beat that

[@Love2Wander]

nice radio will be one of the last thing we will be upgrading. Stay safe my friend

[@NajarOffroad]

Yea it’s definitely worth the upgrade! Next is the speakers and adding a sub.

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

@@NajarOffroad oh heck yeah 🙏🙏 gotta have some decent bass and overall good sounding, clean music!!!

[@girl600podcast]

I never thought about wired CarPlay charging the phone until you mentioned it.

💪

[@OverlandingOzarks]

I need to do this! Thanks for the video!

[@alexcubaavila21]

Looking forward to install it im my jeep. Thanks

[@Hibbitz1]

Great video and thanks for putting it together. Where did you get the side mounting brackets from? Thanks

[@notme22]

The only issues I have with that radio is the latency is with audio played through CarPlay and when you leave maps and come back in take it a minute to catch up to your current location. Also, for some reason it’s created 3 different CarPlay connections in my phone.

[@NajarOffroad]

Interesting. I noticed sometimes CarPlay like once a month or two months would take a bit to boot up. I had it for about a year and upgraded to the new F7 which is faster than the old one and I haven’t had issues yet

[@notme22]

@@NajarOffroad i bought my wife the F7 for Christmas and just got myself the A6 PF because it was on sale for the same price. I’ve got to say that even though the F7 doesn’t have all the features the A6 PF has, I like it better. It’s just easier to use the CarPlay. Even though I have automatic boot to CarPlay turned on it doesn’t seem to do it unless CarPlay was the last thing I was on.

[@anthonygonzalez5984]

Hey brother great vid! I looked on you amazon store for what to buy but I didn’t see the harness for me. What’s the wiring harness for 1999?

[@soulforge78]

@najaroffroad any updates to this head unit 1 yr review pro cons looking to buy a 8" ver any suggestions

[@NajarOffroad]

I would say it’s been good with connecting to CarPlay and Bluetooth. Only thing that has happened twice is a black screen that won’t turn on and I had to press the reset button and it worked again.

[@particleinthewave8378]

Thanks for the video. Just picked up this unit on Amazon for $180 including tax and shipping on their Black Friday sale. Looking forward to getting it into my NC2 Miata

[@user-22-]

Ohhhhh PLEASE do mine! 🥰🥰🥰 It’s an ‘01 & my ONLY vehicle. I use a Jabra...

[@ngtatsang7690]

excellent review. do you know a way to quickly access a radio station? so if you you’re in carplay and you want the radio, you have to press toto-radio-favorite-select station, every single time

[@yoterchris1028]

Are you gonna install a front facing camera for the trails👀

[@NajarOffroad]

Wouldn’t be a bad idea 💪

[@vxnova1]

Have the exact same radio and love it too,

[@bakerfamily2010]

Thanks for the video - I just bought one after watching this! One question - how do you get CarPlay to boot up automatically on startup? I have the default Atoto screen then have to manually select CarLink app, in your demo it goes straight in to CarPlay

[@NajarOffroad]

If you go to the call app on the left hand there is Bluetooth I believe the setting is right there to start the car link app automatically. I believe that’s where I saw it

[@natesambo9759]

Great vid, I just got this for an old 2008 Honda Pilot. Was wondering if you had to buy a steering wheel kit of it just worked for you? It would appear I might need an adapter kit, which is another $60.

[@NajarOffroad]

So for my Jeep, I had to splice into the factory wires for the buttons. Just one wire and then I programmed it with the radio and all my buttons worked. I’m not sure about a Pilot though

[@natesambo9759]

@@NajarOffroad Thanks for the reply. Yeah I sort of got it to work, I have 2 wires coming off the Atoto A6 PF head unit, one is steering + and one is steering #+ - I tried wiring both plus using the ground method you showed, and when i would press and release volume up it just kept increasing until it was turned up full blast lol. Anyway, I also tried with each individual wire and same deal, 2nd time I was at least smart enough to test using volume down. :). I've seen several vids that tell me which wires i need to use in the Pilot, so maybe it's just my head unit. The steering wheel program buttons light up and everything, it just doesn't work right. Anyway, thanks for replying and listening.

[@natesambo9759]

I figured out the issue of why the button was behaving that way. The wiring was correct, but you have to program more than one button on the steering wheel control app to get it to work correctly. I was only programming 1 button and testing it, if you do that it will just keep "pressing" the button, you have to program at least 2 or more to get it to function correctly. Thanks again!!

[@bigtg42]

Can you review the Q95 maXpeedingrod

[@johnfeather-o5x]

I have an 04 limited is there radio that is plug a play without slicing the two harnesses together? Also one that can connect to the steering wheel controls and has a back up camera thanks

[@alburvill7034]

What wires did you use for steering wheel controls from the jeep,not the unit?

[@mrfixit5404]

Does it support a backup camera? Automatic camera display with backup light signal?

[@blazejjedrzejewski8449]

ATOTO A6 is the best from all ATOTO ? Any experience ?

[@NajarOffroad]

Compared to the S8 Pro I had before and other android radios i've tried. The A6 is definitely my favorite. I would eventually like to get a name brand one and test it to that

[@fazejokes4038]

Hey I have a 2003 jeep and I wanna put a sound system in it can I use this radio

[@rrebaza]

How do you connect the steering controls, i wouldlike to buy and upgrade mine. also what about the GPS functionality... it has a GPS antenna? I do lot of offroading.. so it will be very useful to have the maps inthe screen and not using a external GPS..

[@NajarOffroad]

Video is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYDMg3uwg510i5I Yes the Radio comes with a GPS Antenna

[@sfalk2640]

Hey, just stumbled across your channel and i've gotta ask, how well did the speedometer from your cafe racer brat build from a couple years ago do? Did it work atleast decently or was it something you wouldn't recommend? Cheers

[@Flowmide]

how low can you dim the brightness at night ?

[@Dawton1996]

HELP! I installed the ATOTO F7XE in my 99 Jeep Wj and i can't figure out this issue. Between 30 and 45mph my radio will turn off. Once above 45 it comes on and stays on until you slow down again. It also works when lower than 30mph and stays on until you go above. This has perplexed everyone I've met and asked. Wires are good, fuses are good.

[@kencook2438]

Thank you for the video, very nicely done 👍. I have my Atoto A6 Performance model installed and it powers up fine, but no audio output. I've just seen your tip for turning on the amp in Android settings and will give that a try later (dark and cold here in Spain at the moment). What I'd like to ask is... I am assuming you have connected to an external amp, otherwise I guess to wouldn't need to turn on and looking at your wiring it seems as though you are sending high-level (speaker) signals to the amp and not low-level (RCA) signals to amp... Is this the way you have it and is it ok? As part of my search for a no sound solution, Atoto have told me not to send high-level speaker signals to the amp! Mines a 2001 GC Limited with oem Infinity sound and amp. Thanks for any info.

[@G2offroad]

He’s probably running a aftermarket amp

Hey man, I got a 2001 WJ 4.7 I’m overhauling. I wanna put a digital dash like they have in new cars. The speed, the car, etc. is it possible? Maybe help me look into it!? I can’t find anything for WJ’s specifically

[@StunnerTheGreat]

Would love an update if you do find anything

[@SouthDakotaBudgetOverland]

Again no you do not have to run a wire from the steering wheel to the radio. You can just tap into one of the pins on the factory harness. Otherwise very nice radio!

[@NajarOffroad]

Yea I would do it that way next time but I already have the wire ran 🤷‍♂️

[@SouthDakotaBudgetOverland]

@@NajarOffroad just want people to know:) wasn't aimed at you

[@bobbyisking]

Is this all vehicles or some? I remembered Crutchfield recommending a module needed to run the steering buttons on my 2010 prius. If that module isn't needed, then that'd be gr8.

Would be nice if u had a tutorial for it

[@stevengill8151]

What usb port did u power the dash cam from

[@desertd2609]

Can you use OnX Offroad with this radio? I’m looking to use it but not much info if works on aftermarket CarPlay units.

Hmm I’ll look into that

[@Veldkamp88]

Dang! I replaced my crankshaft position sensor a month ago and now I'm having wiring issues. Idk if that would work dealing with my current b.s on my WJ

[@Skurbbz]

Do you have to be parked to use KZbin?

[@alexberkovsky249]

Do you think that the radio antenna adapter you link to will fit a 2005 Jeep Wrangler with the same ATOTO unit?

[@jaketorres6304]

Do you think cutting into the dash is necessary with this new radio since it does not go as deep compared to the other radio?

[@NajarOffroad]

No with this one you should be able to slip it in maybe a little trimming at the top where the factory clips go in

[@BurtonRider90210]

So I got the Atoto F7 XE and got the metro dash kit, but the head unit is too big for the dash kit. It says these radios are true to size 7in screens and so mine is too wide and tall. Isn’t your atoto the same exact size as the F7 XE??? It looks like the same exact radio. I’m confused, I have to trim the dash kit now which is a pain

Hey brotha! I’m not sure about that model. Mine fit pretty good without any modifications.

Thats nice, but i prefer Kenwood, (or any other well known brand), with dvd and or Bluray... cause in the middle of no where you dont have internet for android...... then you can watch a movie, load dvd maps, etc... with this one you cant..... i know a lot of people will say, why do you want to look a movie in a off road trip???? yes i do watch rock crawling, off road tips, etc...... but this is just a my self preference....
