Seems like a good radio for the price, Its also nice to see a video from you again! :)

[@phoenixkevh]

I have one of these in my Audi. Never regretted the upgrade. Customising the launcher to a true car one will make a huge difference. I’m using AGAMA car launcher. Links to other apps for ease of use of them from the Home Screen. And looks great

[@patrickjbowman]

I just got mine in the mail today. Excited to see this video posted, thanks! It wasn't up when I ordered it so you've boosted my confidence with the purchase. I'm putting it in a VW Golf. Any good updates on it would be appreciated! I also did something similar and got a MyCarly incase I get into a bind or an error. Take care,

[@kevinfarrell5778]

Nice one sl ..looks like a great bit of kit..Good to see ya back..mr2 still looks great..👍👍🍻🍻

[@creativekitesurferCo]

I've watched and watched and can't see how you secure the head unit to the mounting brackets? We see them bolted in situe but not how you fix the brackets and screw the head unit to the brackets to fix in place

[@golfman1987]

Nice to see another spyder lee video. Hope you are doing alright.👍

[@lintologyword13]

Bought an atoto 10 inch double din and white i was driving it smoked up from inside the stereo

[@atomicorang]

Good job sir. I appreciate your input. I’m wanting the same setup for my Toyota.

[@c4rt3r92]

Hi mate, how are you getting on with this 6 months later?

[@brummiebushcraft278]

Hi pal just fittingf one of thesxes in my T5.1 and its looking a mess, there a gap behind the stereo is like 2 inches lol just cannot get it back as close as you have yours??? thanks

[@Bigbackbraders]

Did you manage to sort this problem mate?

[@garryturner7836]

Hi great video I’m looking to purchase one when you pushed the brackets behind the panel did you have to fix them in thanks

[@SpyderLEE]

Hi no I didn’t have to fix them the radio keeps them in place but I did end up putting in a screw just below one to stop the radio moving down and covering the buttons below.

[@jonyjay1429]

My wired connection doesn’t seem to work with this wireless is fine but i do sometimes want wired, how do you get that working

[@neiljackson5137]

Think you should do a give away on the old head unit mate 😉

[@SpyderLEE]

Good idea.. I might just do that 👍

[@jomosi78]

Just a question... Where did you get the brackets to fix it inside, SpyderLEE?? Thx for the video

[@jrdavila4967]

Can you add your own personal wallpaper on this stereo?

[@denisebarrett3256]

I bought the ATOTO A6G29PF radio after watching your review, for my T5 2012, and it won't fit in like you showed on the video. Do you know what cage adapter I need for it, are you able to help Thanks

[@SpyderLEE]

I completely removed the original cage and only used the parts that come with the atoto. If it doesn’t fit then you still have something in the hole that needs removing

[@garryturner7836]

Hi spyder I’ve started fitting the atoto a6 pf and I’ve come across some issues how to secure the brackets behind the panel and the connectors fitting to my iso lead that were supplied have you got any information for me 🙏

[@luigidaniello8959]

Hi, can you tell me how I can use the navigator and the music at the same time? thank you

[@JevIRIEPIXEL]

does it work with steering wheel controls and parking sensors?

[@levitatingnun]

I don't suppose you found out the answer to your question did you? I'm after buying one but I have the same questions as yourself.

[@1DASMOOVE]

I just purchased this system it's a great unit I have only one problem the illumination on the control panel does not illuminate. I can go into settings and illumination turn it off and back on and it will then light up but i have to do that everytime i turn the sysyem on...any suggestions?

[@SpyderLEE]

Mine illuminates when the side lights are on. Is the orange wire connected to your lights.

[@1DASMOOVE]

My illumination wire (the orange one) on the stereo one is connected to the orange wire on my vehicle harness labeled illumination

[@SpyderLEE]

@@1DASMOOVE should be good then. I’d be tempted to test it has power when the lights are on.

[@Iverbraidhead]

Does the brightness of the screen change automatically depending on the outside light situation?

[@stephenmcfadden1193]

After fitting the HU it has backlights but keeps turning off then on without cycling through to start-up. Have swapped the yellow and red wires in the iso connector and android initialised to main screen but when switched off won't switch on again. Assume wiring must be out somewhere?

[@stephenmcfadden1193]

Sorry that should have been switched y&r wires in VW quad connector. Head Unit goes off when drivers door is opened or headlights switched on.

[@samwiggins8534]

Great video think I am going to have to put one of these on my Christmas list!. Quick question- what does the unlabeled switch on the opposite side from your traction control and demist? I have one the same and can't work it out- Thanks

[@stephenh1616]

Just got an A6 pf. Installed with an ISO adapter harness. No sound to the speakers. Tried a diff radio using Same harness and it worked. Tried to hard wire the A6 no change. Have I a bad unit ? No reply from atoto as of yet.

[@financiallyfree]

Did you fix it? I am researching it, think the Amp power one cable needs to have a live feed from the 12v source that powers the unit, even though the car I am using does not have a amplifier built in to the stock system.

[@stephenh1616]

@@financiallyfree yep , the HU they sent me was faulty, they eventually took it back. I bought another one of the same and it's perfect

[@The_K_Man]

Do you have function from your steering wheel with this unit? I’m looking at one for my 2014 but don’t want to lose my steering wheel controls or my parking sensor visual

[@JevIRIEPIXEL]

any update on steering wheel controls and parking sensors?

[@mintyprojects]

Great to see a new video from you, Lee. I use "Hey Siri" quite a lot and I'm in the market for a new head unit. Does this model still allow that hands-free control? Have you gotten a chance to try that yet, or are you still in Android mode?

[@SpyderLEE]

Yeah Siri works 👍

[@wazup3333]

@@SpyderLEE how do you make it so it uses the original amp in the car? I have premium audio system in the car

[@neilwharmby4639]

Installed and mostly working. But it has permanent power. I can switch it on and off. But it does not switch on/off automatically when I switch ignition on/off like urs. What am I missing. All the loom wires match on the t5 I have. It’s driving me nuts😂

[@SpyderLEE]

Sounds like the red and yellow need swapping

[@neilwharmby4639]

@@SpyderLEE so the red and yellow wires should not match the loom wires? So van red to yellow loom wire & van yellow to red loom wire? Also do you Can Bus fitted?

[@detwinkz438]

Hi nice video and looks like a nice piece of kit, but I'm curious, how did you get the better angle as that's the main issue iv had with touch screens in the t5. Was it a built in ability of the screen or did you need to jerry rig it to allow for the better angle?

[@SpyderLEE]

The mounting bracket of this screen allow for a little movement

[@detwinkz438]

@@SpyderLEE oh good to know ty.

[@thomasduggins1272]

Hi mate, will this fit directly in a t5 or did you need to re wire the harness yourself?

[@SpyderLEE]

Fitted straight in using the harness I used in the vid 👍

[@1kswatkins]

Has it got DAB??

[@TheShintothechin]

Is this the 9 inch screen?

[@bjlanders]

bummer, every one of these Atoto 'installs' shows none of the physical mechanical install...the only part that is a mystery. There are hundreds of videos going over the features..don't need another. Thanks anyways.

[@SpyderLEE]

Thought I did to be honest, can’t remember. It’s literally 2 side plates that fit to the car and this slides into them. I’ve got another video on my channel with the atoto s8. I think I go through it on that one.

[@bjlanders]

cool, I will go give it a watch. It appears like you have to be able to get at some small philips screws..so that seemed weird, but I guess it should be tight enough, or even some foam or felt could be added to cover up and visible cage. @@SpyderLEE

[@mandismith89]

been having alot of customers back recently that have had these and the halo units smashed and grabbed also these units do not have very good audio chips in them like the more expensive units...stay safe

[@haleybluemn3090]

Hey Ben, I just ordered this and I’m moving to a big city with a lot of car break-ins. Any tips for how to deter theft of the stereo? Should I cover it when I leave my car with a cloth or something?

[@mandismith89]

@@haleybluemn3090 oh this is not going to stay in the vehcile long then sadly as the thieves know its a high value item, a cloth would only attract someone to wonder what your covering, if your listening to radio or music then i see absolutely no point in such a large screen to be honest
