Atoto A6 PF Android 7" Stereo Install - Wireless Carplay - 3rd Gen Toyota 4runner

[@HT7980]

Hey man great video. Used your video but maybe add that non base models have a OEM amp that the cables needed for the harness adapter are plugged into. Amp needs to be removed.

[@PhoRunner]

Sorry I hadnt realized this as mine always had aftermarket ha. I’ll ping your comment!

[@SILVERBACK086]

Thank you Sir!!

[@laynezwrld9861]

I know this is an old thread but I’m having trouble getting sound to my front speakers. Everything else works expect that. Any help? I have also had the oem amp

[@BuffEverett]

Over a decade of owning 3rd gen 4Runners and it never occurred to me to do this. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge and expertise. Right to Amazon purchased everything you recommended and install was a breeze. I would have over paid for a stereo that was half the beast of the ATOTo system. Apple CarPlay and KZbin! A+++ anyone on the fence about getting one DO IT

[@PhoRunner]

Nice!!!

[@ultrazep]

It's about time I replace my original radio with burned out backlighting. Thanks for the link and tutorial on how to do this!

[@PhoRunner]

No problem!! Very easy job for our yotas!

[@jwsxyz]

I decided to buy one of these and install it after watching your video, I ended up sticking the GPS antenna on top of one of the center air ducts rather than on the dash, I figured that was a good spot since there is only plastic above it.

[@PhoRunner]

Nice

[@markgriffin7529]

Lots of praise below but man you’re a legend. Thanks for the help. Would have never been able to do this without this video. Works perfectly. CarPlay is awesome works perfectly with an IPhone. Seriously thanks man.

[@PhoRunner]

No problem! Glad everything worked out awesome

[@jerseattle0722]

I’m so excited for my 4runner

[@PhoRunner]

It’s a great addition!!

[@chaseharrison2064]

Thanks for making this video. Looks like a nice option

[@PhoRunner]

Very nice indeed. Like all androids though, they are sometimes buggy and crash lol. But overall, quite pleased. Wish it had a tilt option

[@scottychop1]

Great video! I actually returned this head unit because the volume buttons were terrible. They might work 1 out of 5 presses. It also would only connect to my phone randomly even though my phone would recognize the unit in CarPlay. Still my favorite channel for 4Runner content!

[@PhoRunner]

Mine hasn’t given me too many problems but I do agree the volume buttons could be better. My pioneer unit I used to have gave me a lot more problems than this one though.

[@dprofeta1]

Great video as always. I just installed one of these replacing my pioneer unit in my 3rd gen a month ago and love it!

[@PhoRunner]

Nice!!

[@pn7064]

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!!!

[@PhoRunner]

Love the modern features!!!

[@RyanKirkland-vr2bc]

Thank buddy! I will be doing mine tomorrow. Love your videos. You gained a subscriber. Also the don’t put it upside down ask me how I know was actually so funny!

[@PhoRunner]

lol

[@mattswanson79]

As always, great video! I truly appreciate all the time and effort (and of course, money) you put into your content. Thank you!

[@PhoRunner]

No problem. I been wanting to do a stereo video for a while now. I figure this one would be good to help modernize our 4Runners. I had a lot of self inflicted issues with this video lol. My camera kept dying, the antenna broke, my cb radio was being annoying but I got it done!

[@PhoRunner]

Thanks bud!

Thanks man I’ll be doing my install tomorrow

[@PhoRunner]

Nice!!

[@snakebebop]

Great video, I like how you showed pretty much everything. I plan on doing this soon on my car but I was wondering if it's necessary to disconnect the car battery when doing this. I assume so.

[@PhoRunner]

Not necessary but probably wise.

[@aubreychowdhury3012]

I installed one on my 97 a few months back and it’s been working great. Wireless CarPlay is the best and can’t beat the price. Agreed with the adapter. Highly suggest going to Crutchfield and getting an adapter wiring harness so you can plug in to the original harness.

[@PhoRunner]

Indeed and yes wireless car play is nice!!

[@0341stroker]

I’m confused. Will the adapter Pho Runner linked from Amazon not work as well as the Crutchfield?

[@aubreychowdhury3012]

@@0341stroker it looks like they are the same!

[@PhoRunner]

Yes indeed they are the same

[@xstaniamx]

Phenomenal video dude! This set up looks awesome, I just ordered everythingfrom your parts list haha. Is there a build/story on your steering wheel? It looks like you either have a mint stock wheel or replaced it or something because it looks brand new. Let me know, thanks!

[@attilaenergyracer]

Thank you for this excellent instructional video.

[@PhoRunner]

You are most welcome

[@DIRTY_ELECTRIC]

Great video! where did you connect the rear speakers to? the purple ones I don’t see on the adapter connecting to the OEM harness

[@PhoRunner]

Should all be there on the aftermarket harness

[@maxrockatansky1981]

A few things to mention.. on the unit braket the small middle screw should not be used. On the second set of brakets the screw closest to the display cant be screwed in all the way. also the stock amp from the radio needs to be removed to use the wire harness adapters.

[@PhoRunner]

Thanks

[@chrisryanbeltran]

Great video, but I have 2002 and noticed the wire harness is different which is one plug, compare to yours is two. Bummer, I was excited to install the Atoto. I guess I have to look for another harness :(

[@PhoRunner]

They must sell another harness for that year. I’ll see if I can find it!

[@chrisryanbeltran]

@@PhoRunner Thank you and appreciate it! By the way, the plug that connects to the back of factory radio is a 20 pin. Forgot to specify that on my first comment.

[@PhoRunner]

Hmm I couldn’t find anything for this :(

[@chrisryanbeltran]

@@PhoRunner I figured it out, mine has an integrated AMP behind the oem radio. There are two plugs underneath the AMP that matches with the two plug harness that were butt connected to the Atoto harness. I watched your video again and notice you didn't have an OEM AMP behind your Pioneer radio. Whew! I can now install the Atoto...it's been bothering me since then and I almost returned it lol

[@PhoRunner]

I think I do. There’s a stray harness back there I left unplugged :)

[@BJMiguel3]

I just wish the 4Runner head unit location was higher and not so far down in the middle

[@PhoRunner]

Yah…

[@imagebyu]

They just came out with a newer version with wireless android auto the screen is Qled and the buttons at the bottom are on the side and they are touch not clicky the model is A6 PF-A1its like $20 more. You just solved my issue with those wires, hows the car play working I hear people been having issue staying connected using that flush mount?

[@PhoRunner]

It seems to be working fine for me! But I need more time and miles to know for sure. I haven’t had too many issues though

[@EdwardSupra]

Great video help out a lot! Just installed the Atoto S8 but I have a question, is anyone dealing with the antenna going up as soon as the accessories is on and it won’t go back down even when on BT option or even when the unit is manually turned off/rest mode? Please help! Thanks

[@PhoRunner]

Is your antenna going out? I have another video on it. The Atoto will extend the antenna when unit is on even if not used. But once off, should retract if things are working properly.

[@thatdankmemeguy2550]

How did you get it to play KZbin I can’t figure out how to do it I have I phone

[@PhoRunner]

Tether your phone to the unit using wifi and it’ll use your phone for internet

[@ryanwong9740]

Great video! I installed in my 2002 4runner. The only thing I don’t like is that the unit automatically turns on when starting the car. This powers the antenna on which normally is not an issue unless it’s iced over or frozen. The antenna also doesn’t retract when the Atoto is turned off. It does retract when I turn off the car. Still researching to see if there is a setting to resolve this. Or maybe it’s time to get rid of the power antenna!

[@PhoRunner]

I got rid of mine!!! Lol I’ll be posting a video of a diy tacoma whip mod on the cheap in a few days!

Was wondering if it was possible to splice wire your rear view mirror you installed in a previous video to also show on your atoto screen when you backed up?

[@PhoRunner]

Probably if you split the video signal wire? One is hd though so I don’t know. I’ll look around

[@MikeJones-jq5we]

@@PhoRunner as always you make great videos!!!

[@fighter45108]

Does the harness that was used on the pioneer unit not work for the new atoto unit? I see my old boss unit that was installed by last owner looks like the same plug-in on the Atoto and wondering if I need to connect them to the atoto harness still.

[@PhoRunner]

Yes same one will work. If they used a harness for the old unit, that same one will work with the Atoto unit

[@LiveForTheDrums]

You mentioned you repaired your wiring harness from the car to its OEM harness as another owner had changed it. I am in a similar situation, could you explain how you did that? I am trying to install this same radio, and the previous owner of mine installed a different radio and had cut out the old harness and used butt connectors to adapt it. Thanks !

[@sp-xx8ty]

I just got this for my 05 sequoia but I can't get it to update the firmware. I've tried leaving just the zip on the USB and unziped it but nothing gets it to start updating.

[@sheeshmcgeesh7441]

I wonder if the SR5 climate control will work on the LIMITED model. I'd rather have the more "analog" control than my push button. I have bad connections on mine and it's a pain in the butt.

[@PhoRunner]

I’m not too sure but likely not as these are all mechanical back there. Not sure if the limited is this way

[@PhoRunner]

Also we have the issue of broken knobs and not being able to adjust the temperature

[@yetichris]

Do you have a video on fitting the cb in place of the ashtray and what model cb is it?

[@PhoRunner]

I don’t have a video but I used double sided tape and a few screws if I recall. Also cut the housing some. It’s a tight fit back there and I had to get an 90 for the antenna connection

[@cybrah]

Just noticed that the previous owner cut my factory plug going to the radio also. Would you happen to have a part# for the factory plug? Did you wire it in using butt connectors or factory wires directly to pin in factory harness? Any feedback is greatly appreciated . Thank you

[@PhoRunner]

There’s no part number since it’s part of the oem harness. Do what I did and find a junkyard Toyota as they are all pretty much the same. I used but connectors for the repair.

[@cybrah]

@@PhoRunner that’s what I did Saturday. Picked up the two harnesses from salvage yard and there just happened to be an old Tacoma next to it. Scored the antenna too! Thanks brother for all of your help.

[@cybrah]

@@PhoRunner I picked up the harness and getting ready to use butt connectors to attach, but these wires look thin. Any idea of what gauge they are, or what size connectors you used? Thank you

[@PhoRunner]

18 gauge red ones are fine

[@jackrogers6792]

Question, I just got a 4Runner with pioneer stereo and the Bluetooth keeps saying memory full. What should I do?

[@gunteqkz2696]

I ordered the same harness you linked below and it’s the wrong one the white connector doesn’t connect to the Toyota harness it’s 2 different sizes man…..

[@PhoRunner]

Toyota hasn’t changed their harness in ages for these. You sure you aren’t trying to connect it or the amp. Dig around back there, it’s likely deeper in

Is it still working okay? CarPlay isn’t glitching out?

Thanks for responding so quickly.

No problem. Basically you leave the car link app loaded and when you get in and start the truck, it connects automatically. Quite seemless if you ask me. The load time can take time sometimes but not bad at all.
