I'm just a guy in Kansas playing around in his garage. Come along in my adventures riding, racing, modifying and repairing my small fleet of unusual misfits.
#ATOTO #Carplay #TorquePro - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
This was quite the in-depth installation video. That plastic removal though.
Every guy who works on cars has an 80s or 90s gold wing in the background somewhere.
Yes, because they're fiddly and expensive to get parts for and obscenely complicated for their era.
Seriously, never buy an old goldwing.
But also *definitely* buy an old goldwing.
I realize I am quite randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to watch new movies online?
@Casey Jeremy I would suggest flixzone. Just google for it :)
Thanks for being a bro and posting links for all of the stuff you used
I purchased my latest stereo from Crutchfield. Their prices are very competitive but you can call for any help installing. Most excellent. And for $25, they'll wire up the harness for your strep/car. WELL WORTH IT!
Tesla screen in your Buick. I approve
Gotta love the old Buicks🔥🔥🔥
You should clean our Bench every Time your done with the day. Clean shop makes for faster work which makes for a happy mechanic
I always get excited when I turn on my phone and your new video is displayed. You post the best stuff that turns boring into awesome 😎
Solder... and yep always remembering to put shrink tube on first...cant remember how many wires I've had to redo a perfect solder job only because my dumb ass forgot the shrink tube first.
Same
Haven't heard of Atoto, I've owned two Eonon android units... I'll check out Atoto.
You're right. That workspace is a fire hazard. You should clean it up.
I've never been a fan of screens larger than the OEM hole for the radio. The standard double din screen would probably be nicer in my opinion. It blocks the controls below the OEM head unit, and to me, it looks tacked on and cheap (even if the unit itself is not cheap). STILL! Having said that, it looks like a really nice unit.
Kinda like...."dig my audio system, but why can't I defrost my windows?"
For the Steering wheel controls. Just buy the Atoto Steering Wheel control. Its like $20 and sticks on your wheel. It has a button cell battery that lasts 1 yr.
That was a really nice install video, I like those crimp connectors a lot more than I have any business doing lol
As far as those connectors go, butt splices are fine as long as you have the wires stripped at the proper lengths, use a properly sized splice based on the wire gauge, and use a good quality ratcheting crimper, preferably Thomas and Betts or Burndy but they have a decent one at Harbor Freight. This is nearly 25 years of crimping experience for mainly telecom DC power connections talking.
Also, I think to get back your steering wheel button functionality, there may be an additional GM-specific interface that you’ll need to use. My 05 Sierra would need this if I ever changed the stock head unit. It also returns the functionality of OnStar and the key buzzer chimes that normally run through the speakers. And GM antenna plugs are (I’m sure intentionally) different from those of every other vehicle make.
Note to ATOTO, modify how screen is secured so that you can use the mounting screws from any side. >>>>. I wish my mom's '96 Olds had had that headunit. I wish all my cars had that headunit. Points to ATOTO for adding Bluetooth 5 and some good codecs. Bluetooth 5 locks onto a device a lot better than previous versions. It has a QLED display? For under $300? That is N I C E !
BTW, my only experience with Olds/Buick was the last 3 cars my mom drove. Hated them all, especially the '96 Olds. The driver's seat felt like I was sitting on a bucket, and not an upside down bucket. The brakes felt like they were from before power brakes. And the #1 reason I hated that car, about 10 years ago, while driving in heavy Friday evening traffic on the San Diego Freeway, in the far left lane of a 6 lane freeway, suddenly the steering wheel became so hard to turn that I had to use every bit of my strength to make even the slightest change. My mom had driven that same freeway to pick me up from where I was getting my truck worked on. All I could imagine was that steering wheel problem happening while she'd been driving only minutes before.
At the repair shop they showed me that the shaft of a pulley had bent at about a 30* angle and the belt slipped off. Is that the only pulley for the power steering? I was moving at 40-50 mph when it went. Never had such a hard time steering. I thought for sure another car would hit us but we made it safely off the freeway. I had a lot of motorists angry at me even though I was flashing the car's emergency lights.
Anyone care to share any similar stories?
Earlier editions of the front wheel drive "big" GMs had a fault inside the steering rack. It would start as being harder to turn one way than the other. Eventually it would simply lock up. I know a few people who crashed because of it. It was a defective valve in the centre of the rack. All of them were under 100,000 miles. Meanwhile my 90 Volvo is at 400,000 miles with the factory steering rack still perfect. It has had a new coupler and new outer tie rod ends, but the rest is all 31 years old. The joy of a one owner car!
@@michaeltutty1540 I think there are a lot of cars and truck models out there that are capable of very long lives as long as you do recommended services. Pick the drive train that's been proven reliable. Me, I'd love to have a well cared for 2003 BMW 530i.
Clean your workspace and make the state of Kansas proud! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
That huge ATOTO works great for the Buick. Nice job.
If you ever need something with similar functionality for the ZHP, I recommend the Eonon GA9450 unit. It's only a 7" display but it has factory looking controls and fits perfectly in the dash and plugs into the factory harness.
Absolutely love the Eonon head units and I will definitely be trying to get my hands on one but the price is a bit out of reach at the moment, especially with how much stuff that car needs.
For the Eonon is there any cutting into plastic needing to be done toward the rear by factory harness? Or is it just remove old stereo and put new in no mods needed? Thanks for any help.
That radio display is huge.
Cool instructions video!! Thanks Jake 👍😎
Another great video!
I love your channel because it is real and on point.
The fact that you share these with their ups and downs is fantastic!
Thanks Brother!
Jake is the real deal.
Dude, if you're promoting their stuff, take a commission if it's offered. I know it's early in the channel, but don't set the precedent "i don't take a commission, i don't do that kind of stuff..."
100PercentJake does what 100PercentJake wants. Keep up the great work.
TH-cam already makes you work for free.
All good, u till u wanna use that radie in a different car.....that's where wire nuts come it
Looks like u can't really use the climate controls....would of went with a smaller head unit
Thanks for the install vid, tripled the value of the old beater
As a geezer, I'd like to say your Park Avenue is geezerlicious!!!
Nice, clean wiring crimp job. Always satisfying
Meh soldering is where it's at.
@@rxtuninginc8444 it has it's place. But a lot of Motorsports prefer crimping and those are ran in worse conditions
Hook the brake wire from the head unit to ground . This is so you can watch movies and enter input on your gps and other things while driving.....😀.. I mean your passenger can watch movies and enter input while you drive
Good tutorial. Sliding the heat shrink on all the wires first, never would have thought of that.
I need this head unit in my life. I will definitely be waiting for your review.
I have been waiting for this one.
Atoto stereos are awesome! You can watch TH-cam videos as you drive.
Uh huh. Maybe you should be watching the ROAD when you drive!
Great in depth, you made it look easy
I wish I had know about this before I bought the JVC head unit for my 99 Mazda 626, I feel robbed....
Hmmm hadn't seen those types of crimp connectors before... .very interesting.
Head unit, looks nice too, just too bad you didnt get the BIG one...
Thanks Jake,!
I used to have a Joying android head unit in my old jeep. I really enjoyed it. Also XDA Developers had a large community with lots of mods to improve the head unit. They probably also have mods for the ATOTO.
It's my understanding the dash illumination dimming as well as steering wheel temp control requires factory head unit. That's what keeps me from installing something like this in my '98 Park Ave (prestige package, non-Ultra)
I've been meaning to get a car play head unit for my moostang, nice to see this is process
Love the install looks like decent value..oh and clean your work bench :)
Very good information here, Jake. Well done. What I use for those connections is the heat shrink with solder and flux. A one step soldered joint that I then seal in more heat shrink. I've never had any issue doing it that way.
That size and brightness of screen would drive me batshit crazy. Too much of my driving is on 2 lane roads in the country at night. I can't even stand the back lit instrument clusters in new cars. I much prefer the old front lit cluster. I'm also not used to, nor do I want, anything in my car that means I must look at a touch screen. That is, to me, dangerously poor ergonomics. Picking up parts for my 90 Volvo, I looked at the new V90. When I asked the salesperson how to use the controls without taking eyes off the road, I was told that the passenger should use them. I laughed out loud.
i had the same issue with my crown vic and the steering wheel button wire. i de-pinned an unused wire on my radio adapter and re-installed it in the correct location on the adapter that matched my steering wheel button control wire.

Hey Elliott!
Hey sock!
This is the most comprehensive car stereo install video on TH-cam. Great Job!
Check out UnWrecked. Just did one in a 370 Z, and a Chev 1500.
Looks like it might be blocking some (or most) of the heater controls. Other than that nice job
I'm with the, uh, Audio police and this is an official audio audit. yeah um, we're gonna need the name and model number of those chinese ear buds and a complete list of all vintage swapmeet, yard sale , pawnshop speakers you have in your possession.
Currently rocking KZ ZSNs with a balanced cable and Fiio BTR3K. Also a set of Fiil T1X true wireless buds for when I'm doing yardwork (lacking some detail but amazing soundstage).
Also have a set of Koss PortaPros with Yaxi earpads that I listen to through a USB C Apple dongle (one of the best DACs on the market under $100 due to economies of scale). This setup is seriously great.
For speakers my TV in the house is hooked up to some Pioneer GS-G403s through a cheap receiver with a 12" Klipsch sub filling in the bottom.
Computer is hooked up to a Sony STR-K6800P (I hate this thing) receiver with a pair of ???? logitech something-or-anothers whose internal amp died and was thusly bypassed. Subwoofer for that one is the 100w sub that came with the receiver, but with a Skar audio 8" driver put in it. It's ok. Might move the driver and amp board into a custom sealed case. The port is super woofy.
In the shop is that random Fisher speaker as well as a single orphaned Klipsch KG3.2 that sounds amazing and I someday want to have an actual stereo set of KGs. I'll probably part out the one I have since finding another orphaned KG3 is nearly impossible.
Dig it! I'm about to start converting a 2000 Econoline to a camper van. I'll be checking to see if this will fit.
I've used similar crimps for header pins. (The 0.1" kind) I had no idea they made wire to wire crimps in that style but it makes a ton of sense. If you don't know how to use the crimper it can be a nightmare, but once you figure it out it's not bad.
Interesting crimps. Haven't seen those over here in NS Canada.
I have a wick type 10,000 BTU kerosene heater in my garage that heats up everything nicley. Doesnt even make any noise so you can film and be comfy at same time.
Excellent... misssed nthe part on seperation, 8/4 ohm, a followup with more teck details would be a good part two.
the number one thing you'll say in car show is "not a Holley display"
Lol I just did a review of the atoto F7 on my channel today
At least you're focusing on the most important part of any vehicle, the radio. ✌️
Put a Pioneer Avic W8600 NEX system in a '99 F350. Love it; will put something like this in my W-Body Regal GS.
Now I know another benefit of having a Roadmaster instead of a Park Avenue. Easier dash removal.
my dual 7 inch slide out screen radio I bought over 9 years ago has about 5 inputs and stuff on the back. its ridiculous and still works great playing movies. I am just missing the xm radio that was a optional plug in
Wow that looks sweet! Does it ever get in the way going into park?
I should have just bought this instead of my tesla. It would have saved a lot of money
Keep in mind maintenance cost
Cool. I wonder if the box could be installed upside down? That may make reaching those screws easier.
Hey Jake, thanks for your videos on that atoto radio.
I got a german Mercedes Benz B Class (T245) and i want to connect the SWC cables and the onboard mic.
What Adapter would you suggest ?
Thanks for your help !
Have a nice weekend.
That column gear shifter location has to be a bitch when you put it into drive.
I was thinking the same thing
Ah Un-wrecked reviewed this same unit yesterday. Like this channel, unwrecked is so underrated. Great video, Jake, and love your sense of humour! “Where is the car? All right, here it is!”
Yes to Unwrecked! Check him out people.
Nice !. The S8 is the latest model. Ive got the Atoto A6 Pro PRB, had it just over 1yr. Brilliant headunit. They use a Toshiba Class A amplifier which sounds excellent. re Torque. Its not that great to be fair. "Dash Command" is a far better app.
Jumbotron indeed. Even old people like me can see that screen!
Next time, twist the insulation pieces as you remove them. Then you don't get finger oils on your wires. Much more important when you're soldering than crimping, but good practice regardless.
Like the radio I’ve got a power Aqustic version
do you know anywhere to get the side fender vent chrome replacements? Just got a 2005 park avenue from my great grandfather!
Man you should do a full system build. Subs, amps, the whole 9
Subs are great put component systems are better. I like to run 400W RMS component system and 400w RMS subs 12" x 2 in a sealed box personally.
@@hithere7382 I love full sound systems too. I hate it when people just have bass and no mids and highs. Im with you on the components for sure
@@Pittsburgh-412 When I was less cultured I liked out-blasting black folks in my town that had a 10" sub blasting ghetto music with no mids or highs, myself using death metal. It was good times.
Ratcheting crimpers are the best. After using them I'll never go back. I use to use the cheap on the end of wire strippers. They always fell apart.
I'm disappointed your not going to have a massive clock other cars can't read when driving by and you didn't color match the heat shrink. 😆
Kidding aside, very nice how too!
I'd never forgive you if the nifty motorized volume control on the OE one were still working, but since it's broken, I'll make an exception.
Got a question! Does your have the onstar as well? Getting ready to do mine and I’m curious if that could screw things up. Thanks!
Crutchfield my friend.
Always a success when you don't destroy the car while removing/installing. Haha.
Never heard of this brand....looks reasonably priced. Been a Pioneer guy for all aftermarket stuff since the 80's.
The pre-outs are 2 volt
I always waited for stores that ran free install sale
I would love to put one of those in my 2004 Buick park ave ultra. We're did you get from and how much?
Great video. Curious: how long did you apply heat to the shrink-wraps to get them to set properly?
Less than 30 seconds.
A lighter also works well and takes only a couple seconds. Good for those who dont have a hear gun.
Hey man did you ever get the steering wheel controls working on this? Trying to figure out if i require an adapter or if its really just one wire.
could you tell me what cable harness you used and did it maintain steering wheel radio controls? Thanks
Microphone at the top of the a pillar trim
Great install. Ordered the crimps they look great. You gotta clean that workbench tho, tsk tsk.
yes your work bench needs a bit of a tidy :) .....also clean that windshield :)
Lol I fit car audio for a living. I've encountered way too many really nasty EvilBay or jungle site stereos so I'm hoping this is a decent one for a change and very interested to see how it is.
It makes me laugh that people buy an all singing, all dancing stereo for $40 and they expect it to be amazing yet it weighs the same as an empty Coke can 😄
Very good video dude.
You should look into 3rd party front end interfaces (launchers) my favorite is CarWebGuru.
Oh no...now it's not stock anymore.....lol
Dude, is that an 80s vintage Fisher speaker on your bench at 15:30? I have a functional pair that look similar as well as the system they came with. It all works except the receiver.
Yep. Mid-range 80s stuff. Not amazing, not awful. It makes sound. I have a pair of old Pioneer GS-G403 hooked up to my TV with a 12" Klipsch sub filling in the low end. It's similarly okay. Not amazing. I'd love to get some "real" speakers but I realized that while $600 will buy some mediocre speakers, $600 will buy world-class headphones and $60 will buy a solid set of IEMs.
@@100PercentJake I just think it's cool seeing survivor vintage stuff from my teen years.
I'm far more disturbed by your mismatched speakers than the messy bench. Priorities Jake.
So what version of Android is it running? This would be great with the WiFi antenna for WarDriving.
Why are people so afraid of soldering cables? 😂
Now you can reinstall those great aftermarket 6x9 s
I love how the heater controls are completely obscured....
Will this work in a 1.5 din opening even though the device is actually 2din?
Thank you for this. I have been looking for a replacement head unit for my 1997 Buick PA Ultra. Until now I had not found one that might support my steering controls. I am going to research The S8 Pro Plus (I want the features similar to yours but do not want the 10 inch screen) to see if it will integrate with my controls. There were a few changes between yours and mine. I am presuming that I can make it work. lol maybe that is a bad thing maybe not! I would definitely want to watch you getting yours working. You did a great job on this.
The S8 series has the "steering wheel adapter" built in so if you have a basic resistive-type controls it's pretty much just figuring out which wire to hook up. I'll have a video about this when I get it figured out on mine but given the absolute lack of info online about these Buicks and AV I get the feeling I'll be on my own with a lot of trial and error.
@@100PercentJake Thanks for going through the pain. I appreciate you when you suffer lol. On the serious side I am looking forward to your vid on it. I have really enjoyed the series.
@@100PercentJake Did we figure out if this radio works with the steering wheel controls? Want to upgrade mine (gonna to oddly miss the moving volume knob...) and would like to keep the steering wheel controls
Couldn't make out the ear buds mentioned - any chance to link to those?
ZK ZSN, I believe. They're on Amazon or a bit cheaper on aliexpress if you don't mind a long wait
Should've just used heatshrink with solder in the middle. That's what we use on military aircraft and it works amazing
let me get that old radio lol
I have one out of my 2001 buick century you can have. Has the 32 pin blue connector
just out of curio, since you're building this adappter harness on the bench, why not solder?
why would you? It's messy, it's hot and these shrinktubed crimps will do the job just fine.
@@jfv65 solder is messy? Lol maybe if you dont know what you're doing.
The best way to build a harness! Only takes 15 or 20 minutes and the connection is perfect. Crimp ons are not so much!
I buy heat shrink connectors with solder and flux already in. A heat gun or cigarette lighter is all that is needed. I add a second layer of heat shrink, just to be safe.
Isn’t it bad for the valves to run e85 when it’s not a flex fuel vehicle?
Does anyone know if I could install ilx-650 in a Buick ?
What was the name of the Ear Buds you said you like a lot?
I'd like that info, too. A link?
The buttons on the steering wheel are notorious for failure.
Because radio!
