I bought the A6 for my truck a couple of years ago. Sold the truck and left the atoto in it.. mistake! I bought a small motor home last November and I just bought a Atoto A6 pro . Love it! Something I like is playing XM streaming from my phone through the head unit it is just like it has XM built In it. Shows the song title and the band name . I'm old, and getting used to the head unit was a challenge but I'm learning . I even have a front dash cam working . I opted not to use the back up cam because the motor home already has a backup in it. I also bought the wireless remote and mounted it on the steering wheel.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for mentioning responsiveness! I am a massive stickler on this and when I heard you say something about it (after watching about 14 other review videos with no mention of it) I immediately looked to see if you had affiliate links and went through them. Thanks for the info. Great little review of all the little caveats that were obviously found by someone who pays attention to the small stuff on tech as I do. Keep it up man. You got a sub out of this one.
I also searched for heaps of reviews to see if anyone has mentioned the responsiveness because I have the Atoto A6 Pro and I'm finding it super slow with every app I use such as Spotify, Gmaps and TH-cam. Keyboard input is painfully laggy AF. This was also before and after I updated the OS from Atoto hoping it would improve it but it didn't. I might try factory resetting it to see if that helps.
Just got one of these and am installing Saturday. Waiting on wiring harness adapter set. Your other video was a big help in deciding for me. Don't care about car play and android auto is a minor consideration. Got the rear and front view cams and OBDII Will update after installed.
I've been happy with my unit. I wish Atoto also made a programmable wireless keypad for these units that you could stick anywhere so that you can quickly switch between GPS, Music, Phone, etc. apps while driving without looking at the screen. The unit has 4v low level outputs as well as high level pre-amp out which can be used in almost any combination. It also has sub woofer out, and two video inputs (one for rear cam) along with the front camera USB input. I have everything except TPMS hooked up and all work great.
O ok NJ boy i was looking on Ur maps I live in NC now but Gloucester County is my old stomping grounds like Deptford Mall. Good video!!! bout to purchase this unit for my Avalanche
Deleting radio stations from that presets bar is really easy, just swipe up on the station you want removed. Found this out by accidentally a couple of stations, so I know it works!
Be aware that even know this is a good unit it has a very important issue at least for people that leaves in places with very hot weather like me. I am in Florida and I personally know 2 people that purchased this unit and the issue is over heat. Long drives the unit shuts down when is too hot. Unlike Kenwood and Pioneer this unit does not have cooling system.
Good to know. I think the longest drive I’ve taken with this was 8 hours straight. It didn’t overheat or turn off for me but I know everyone’s unit can vary slightly
Just found this review by accident... Great! One of the most detailed on the user interface. (Other reviews skip over so much!!) So thanks! Any updates for 2022?
Much obliged for following up on a product. That's all I really care about is if it's going to last or not. But I suspect it depends on climate on the longevity of any car electronics. Such as me being in Phoenix Arizona, will it last? Or being in a place where it's freezing cold? I'm getting it regardless so...much obliged!
It has worked well in NJ climate - gets up to around 100F in the summer (outside the vehicle) and are 15F in the winter. We have heard that some units have experienced over-heating in hotter climates but it is hard to say if those were rare cases or normal. Our unit has worked without issue on long road trips in summer weather without an issue tho.
Tengo ese mismo estereo pero no me deja entrar a configuraciónes del mismo estereo tampoco me deja que lo pueda conectar al wifi y cuando entro al menu de las aplicaciones se ven en grande los iconos intente con el orificio el hueco de resetearlo y no dio tambien le di en la misma opcion del esterero donde dice que reset y sigue igual? Que se puede hacer o que hago gracias?
That stinks 😔 ours has still held up without issue but there are always bad units I'm sure. Most electronics these days aren't designed to last for more than a few years sadly.
@@TheSundaeDrive I'm hesitant to buy another ATOTO unit, but there doesn't seem to be something else I like with the same options. Can you tell me if this version allows you to save more than one equalizer setting?
@@zeketaney5567 we just updated to the s8 version which seems to be more responsive with a nicer display and can come with built in carplay etc. I would probably suggest going with the newer model. We haven't had a chance to do a long term review on it yet but it was plug and play with the A6 wiring harness in our truck.
@@TheSundaeDrive I just ordered a S8 Standard, couldn't find the Premium one with the 7" display. Hopefully I will have a little better experience this time.
Good reviews on this unit. Thx. Watched both. Question on SWC. Can the Pro unit you have work with factory installed SWC wires already available or is the inly option to purchase the wireless SWC sold by Atoto?
I just got this unit today. I'm replacing the M4 model I have. I loved your videos on this model. Since you've posted this video, 9.6 update has come out. I can't find much information on it. Have you had a chance to update to this version? Also you should do a video on the M4 vs A6 Pro :P
I just installed the S8 standard in my car, so of course I had to go with the recommended dash cam. I have a 128GB card in the dash cam and also one in the stereo, but the dash cam does not save video to either. When I load the DVR apk, it looks like it's just loading instead of already being on. And then when I hit the record button, the little red icon pops up for a second then goes back to the folder icon with the slash through it. Any help would be appreciated.
So how do you feel about it now. I’m between this unit and the Boss version of the same. I want to use the Apple CarPlay so I’m not as worried about apps but the torque app is interesting. Has it held up to time? I’m putting in my avalanche z71 so I was curious what your experience has been at this point. Also was there an option to install an external mic and how is the call quality on blue tooth?
Yes, there is an external mic option. You can watch our 2004 Silverado install guide. It worked really well with no issues. We have since switch to the S8 which is also really nice and are testing that out.
Can you install the GPS Nav app called "Here" and download the free map and turn-by-turn voice on this unit? I wonder how it works since I am considering moving the nav feature to the bigger screen but not sure I want to buy the android auto dongle.
I have a JL 4 channel going to my components and a sound cubed mono tied to a 10" sub. I cannot tune the sound to sound good. Took out a kenwood that sounded amazing. Any tips for getting this to sound right?
Hi thanks for the great videos. Looks like great and capable head unit! What do you think about the 7 inch 4GB Ram 32GB ROM Pumpkin android unit? Ive been looking at that last few weeks and looks a decent device?
So you have to buy an adapter for Android auto? I thought you could just plug your charger to the staereo deck and your good to go? But you have to buy adapter?
Hi how’s everybody doing today I just installed an 86 performance in my Ford I hooked up the ignition line the continuous 12 V line and apparently the dimmer control with the headlights and it’s draining my battery when the car is off does anybody have a suggestion out there thanks
Any one else have an issue with internal or external mic? Its so quiet and cannot find out how to increase gain or turn off noise cancelling (if thats the issue as it seems the first word I say is ok then rest of call is quieter, even when right next to mic its only slightly better.) Thanks!
Appreciate the review, I am thinking of buying the updated version of this unit. With that said, is there any other unit that you would consider over this one? I am Android play and this is going into a second vehicle that will be driven only 5 or 6 times a year. Will be adding back up camera and the android play auto but I noticed your link is no longer available. Any other link that works or is everything down because of the CoronaVirus? Thank you for your time and consideration, your feedback is valued!
This is the only one we've used and we haven't had any issues with it. It has worked really well and is used on nearly a daily basis. You may be correct on the dongle. I have seen it sell out before and come back in stock. I know a lot of parts coming from China are delayed.
Awesome feedback! What year is your Silverado and did it have the Bose system with the amp? I have an 05 Tahoe with Bose and it's been a nightmare trying to find a unit like this that'll easily work with it (I need 4 channel pre Amp)
I having a problem getting my iphone contacts to show up on the unit. It connects fine but just wont upload the contacts. have tried all sorts of things but hope you can help. Oh BTW it works fine with android phones.
Great review, thanks! Quick question. I'm thinking of switching out my Pioneer W4500NEX to this unit. My biggest concern is wireless Android auto, sound quality powering my subs with no issues. For instance, if I'm listening to the radio and I turn the vehicle off... When the unit powers up do I need to do anything for the radio to come back on or does it play from it's last source. Now if you're bluetoothed I understand you need to reconnect. Thanks again.
Shouldn't need to reconnect even with bluetooth, as far as quality it concerned it is really fantastic, far better than most name brand headunits in the $500 range. With this A6 pro being $250 it's a steal. There's so many great features in this and honestly although it's not a super well know name brand, imo it wipes the floor with the competition and is far better than most headunits at the $500-$650 price range.
Wireless Carplay/Android Auto wireless adapter can be purchased as well from Atoto amazon seller store, I believe it's like $80 last time I checked. Hope this helped

I've always heard to stay away from these style of head units with the capacitive touch buttons instead of physical click buttons. Apparently the capacitive touch buttons glitch out and stop working rather easily.
@@TheSundaeDrive You have physical buttons on the unit and the screen is a touch screen. The capacitive touch you'll see on similar head units where we would have click buttons. I've installed the same head unit in my Passat.
Have you guys tried the standard version? right now is about 170$ (The new version with buttons on the left) but I was wondering if it there is a noticeable different between the PRO because Hardware wise it has 1GB of ram less than the pro (that is has 2GB). And its only 16GB of internal storage (Which is not a problem since you can plug an SD card)
Yes, if you have spotify premium you can download songs to it. It also has expandable memory. Get the model with physical buttons though if you're still questioning buying one.
Have you had any problems with the update? I wish I could just connect it to the wifi and download it directly, I did the whole thing, copy the zip file on a SD card and inserted it in the unit but didn’t do anything, it suppose to launch it automatically, but mine didn’t do anything, bad luck I guess. Great review tho, one of the reasons I decided to buy this unit.
It will prompt you to format the memory card. Format it from the A6. Then take the memory card back to your laptop copy the update. Then take it back to your A6 insert it. The update prompt will pop up in the middle of the screen
i have the same radio but when i leave my house to go to work i lose connection on wifi dont get me wrong i love the radio but i dont wanna listen to the radio every time i wanna listen to spotify or pandora or sirusxm can anyone help me out how i can keep wifi connected with out loseing connection
@@TheSundaeDrive yea but when i try to used hotspot or teathering its telling me to get att data plan or something but i have unlimited data and everything i dont no what could be wrong
+Dangerous Fandango looks like you’re right, seems to be 2v pre-amp output now. Thought mine was 4v but having a hard time confirming that now. Looks like you’d be stuck with 2v which isn’t the end of the world I guess. Just gotta turn to the amp gain
Video update or product? It worked great up until we swapped for the s8. No issues at all with it. We most likely will be installing it into another vehicle.
I wouldnt get the gesture control but since they've gotten rid of the physical buttons I'm considering it. So are you saying the volume control is on the touchscreen?
You can make this work with steering wheel controls by buying an additional unit like the PAC steering wheel interface. It depends on your vehicle though What do you have?
+blade5054 doesn’t work well with google assistant so I wouldn’t recommend that unless you are using your phone’s google assistant via android auto. It will work with factory steering wheel controls but you need to purchase an extra module from a company such as PAC audio. They make the converter from your factory controls to the headunit input
Hey just to say... You can download google maps offline to run areas. You have 32gb of rom, plenty of room to download a City or State. Then turn hotspot off.
Did I miss it, or did you never mention how much RAM and ROM this unit has available...? That's one of the major basic specs on any Android device, along with the processor details. I think you put a lot of effort into this review, so its a thumbs up and much thanks! But its kind of incomplete without basic specs? Just found it in the text under the video...
+ Holleyday Evolution SiriusXM? Google Play says incompatible for my Atoto a6. There's another app in the Play store called XM Radio which is compatible, but guessing that's not the one you're referring to.
The Pro version has more RAM memory for faster response, more internal storage, better screen quality, dual bluetooth, usb quick charge for your phone, and a few more watts for the speakers. It also has a wifi card so you can connect to your phone when you turn on the phone hotspot to use your phone data plan.

Are you using a hotspot from your phone?
@@TheSundaeDrive yea but when i try to used hotspot or teathering its telling me to get att data plan or something but i have unlimited data and everything i dont no what could be wrong
That sounds like an issue with your carrier if your phone is giving an error.
Did they change the specs? Cus I was just on amaxpn and its saying the pre amp Volatage is now 2v instead of 4v
+Dangerous Fandango looks like you’re right, seems to be 2v pre-amp output now. Thought mine was 4v but having a hard time confirming that now. Looks like you’d be stuck with 2v which isn’t the end of the world I guess. Just gotta turn to the amp gain
A6Y2721PR says 4v out on amazon.ca
Will this headunit work with todays newest iOS??
Does it have DAB radio?
So this has 4v preamp outputs?
Does this have satellite GPS nav? Or is it data/offline maps from apps only?
This has a gps receiver and maps can be downloaded to the unit
Can you do a video running a chromecast or video game console to the back of the Atoto?
Haven't tried doing that. Maybe someone watching has tho!
@@TheSundaeDrive would be good click bait for the channel :-). My screen arrived with a scratch today from ebay unfortunately.
Lol that is true! There isn't an hdmi port at the back tho so you would need an interface of some sort. Good idea tho! That stinks about the screen :(
its well equipped but man it gets slow when you have more than one app open
Question! Does this support side cameras?
Guys, anyone know where you would find the dash kit that would fit the screen?
We have gotten all of our kits from amazon
What’s an apk to be able to play TH-cam in the background?
Supposedly an apk called NewPipe will work. Check it out on github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe
I’ll try it on my S8 as well
mine has a very bad WIFI. its hard to connect it even to a close wifi. and it takes forever to download offline google maps
That sounds like a faulty antenna. Ours has been very good.
Where can I find the Atoto a6 pro update ?
Video update or product? It worked great up until we swapped for the s8. No issues at all with it. We most likely will be installing it into another vehicle.
@@TheSundaeDrive update for the A6 pro. I'm running Android 6.0 Atoto Aice 9.4
South jersey represent. Lol
How do you tether your phone? Don’t you have to pay extra for that iPhone feature?
+dutch971 I believe tethering does not cost extra for some cell providers like Verizon or T-Mobile. Not sure about AT&T
Anyway to get 4g or LTE on it? also, how did you download Netflix, did you have to use an older version?
Use hotspot
What is a good flip down that can coincide with this unit
Not sure what you mean? Flip down display?
I wouldnt get the gesture control but since they've gotten rid of the physical buttons I'm considering it. So are you saying the volume control is on the touchscreen?
Anyone know if the atoto a6y2710s has adjustable equalizer
It does. Not very good, but it does the trick
To delete stations! Swipe em up....
Does it work with google assistant? Does it work with factory steering wheel controls?
You can make this work with steering wheel controls by buying an additional unit like the PAC steering wheel interface. It depends on your vehicle though What do you have?
I have a 2009 scion xb
+blade5054 doesn’t work well with google assistant so I wouldn’t recommend that unless you are using your phone’s google assistant via android auto. It will work with factory steering wheel controls but you need to purchase an extra module from a company such as PAC audio. They make the converter from your factory controls to the headunit input
wait could i connect a blutooth controller an play games of the play store?!
Not sure!? But I like the idea. Maybe we can give that a try! If you try it out let us know if it works tho!
Can u upgrade to Android 10 by any chance? What about rooting the unit ? Can anyone comment?
Only Android 6.0 max on these. If they work, leave them, update sometimes break things
I appreciate this video, thank you. Just ordered. Quick question, have there been any firmware updates that you have applied?
no updates
Shiiiiiit mine won't do internet over Bluetooth, it keeps closing out
If on Iphone turn on personal hotspot, dont need to connect that way but that enables bluetooth tethering
Doesnt it lag with opening 3rd party apps like Google maps?
In my experience, Google Maps opens pretty fast and doesn’t run poorly. I’m using Spotify right now and that also loads and runs good
Hey just to say... You can download google maps offline to run areas. You have 32gb of rom, plenty of room to download a City or State. Then turn hotspot off.
A car stereo needs a knob. You can have all the fancy touchscreen you want but still needs a knob.
Having a nob is always nice for that tactile feel
Did I miss it, or did you never mention how much RAM and ROM this unit has available...?
That's one of the major basic specs on any Android device, along with the processor details.
I think you put a lot of effort into this review, so its a thumbs up and much thanks! But its kind of incomplete without basic specs? Just found it in the text under the video...
Delete presets by swiping a preset up or down I think
Thanks!
is this compatible with a 4g dongle?
We have not tried it yet but maybe someone else will chime in!
Will this fit in a bmw
What bmw?
DSP?
Digital signal processing.
Hi everyone let me know if the stereo have video RCA out
dande souto nope
It has RCA outs for Front/Rear/Left/Right speakers as well as a pre-amp RCA for a subwoofer.
Wogness Monster how about vídeo out (RCA)
dande souto just video in for front/rear cameras
Can I download xm radio app
+
Holleyday Evolution SiriusXM? Google Play says incompatible for my Atoto a6. There's another app in the Play store called XM Radio which is compatible, but guessing that's not the one you're referring to.
@@trafferz yes I meant Sirius
Hi, someone can explain me the difference with the Standard A6Y2710SB 1G / 16G edition?
The Pro version has more RAM memory for faster response, more internal storage, better screen quality, dual bluetooth, usb quick charge for your phone, and a few more watts for the speakers. It also has a wifi card so you can connect to your phone when you turn on the phone hotspot to use your phone data plan.
@@HairyKeester ok so the PRO A6Y2721PRB-G 2GB / 32GB Is a lot Better
Delete the station you have to use your two fingers and drag up on the station
Thanks!
