    What's your guys thoughts on the box? would you do anything differently?

    • @jonnewton5929
      @jonnewton5929 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I reckon I would of made the same decision. A workable double din unit couldn't go anywhere else. And it looks great and works well. Great execution Liam

      This really looks sick. I would not change a single thing honestly. I’ve got a 98 Triton and this video has given me some ideas to work with my Ute and get it fitted out. Cheers guys 👍🏼

      Got a link for the sub you put in, I recently put one of the teyes android(practically the same as yours) touch screen units in my old 2003 courier, they're pretty cool hey having a bit of tech in an old car.

      The only change I can really see, is to make it slightly lower, but I don't think you could go much less.
      Otherwise, to make it more of a factory look, & it would be a massive effort, would be to rip out the whole centre dash/console, & start from scratch. Your design is much more cost-effective & still gives you everything you need

    I love how you guys just make it work with what you have and not just go out a spend ridiculous amounts on mods. Keeping it real and relatable. One of the best 4x4 channels out there in my opinion. Thanks guys

      Was going to comment the same! What a bloody lovely video to watch. And a great result too. I get your reluctance to drill or fasten to your dash Liam but please consider it.
      Reckon I’ll be doing something similar in my GQ one day and will be posed with the same problem. I won’t be removing it, it’s a great permanent addition so it will likely be fastened permanently. And securely.

    8:32 Now you have the perfect place for a single din UHF radio. The box "fits" really well in that spot on top of the dash, with a very good heads up display position. Great work fellas
    10:48 Why do you have a Cummins sticker on your dash? Is this an easter egg? Is a 6BT upgrade in your sights?
    Don't forget to smash that like button & comment, to feed the algorithm, as reward for these fellas efforts to entertain us

  • @maxgames.5690
    @maxgames.5690 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    the atoto units are very nice, i have a a6pf wich for the price destroys most stock touch hu, but something that could be a pain point is that by default instead of turning off when ignition is off they go for ~12h in standby before shutting down, wich lets it boot quickly(not that the default boot is slow) within the standby period as you have shown in the video, but it means that they'll still drain battery, the only way to disable this "sleep" mode is by accessing the secret menu, which contains some further customizations(be careful in here) and can be accessed by going into settings, then click the “system” button 4 times in rapid succession and when prompted put in code 3368

    I've been using Android Tablets in my 4WDs with my favourite Android Apps, including iGO Street Navigation and OziExplorer Maps for over 7 years now. I love the ability the tablets offer to test and try out the different Street Navigation and Off-road Topo Maps on Android Apps Store these days and for the life of me, I can't see the point of spending $600 on a main brand headunit that only offers Android Auto Play when you can have a fully functioning Android Head Unit like like the ATOTO,
    I had a serious look at the ATOTO S8 earlier this this year, and came very close to buying either the S8 or A6 Advance, but as I was about to undergo surgery and off work for a couple months, I opted to stay with my Single Din Kenwood and up-grade to a Newer Tablet for my Patrol and have another look at the ATOTO later in the year or early in 2024.
    With most of the ATOTO Headunits, you can also connect a 2nd front camera and record and store both the Front and Rear camera views, and the front facing camera can also assist in that dreeded front Black Spot due to the bonnet while 4WDing.

    What a great combo. Having the S8 up top is so much better than hidden down low and it does look great and will be very useful. I’ve been looking at the ATOTO units but either the pro isn’t available here or just not seen it yet. It does look very sleek. Also impressed with the JustRaceParts gauges. I was in touch with them for a tricky setup and need to complete the order with them. Very good to have the audio and gauge set there. Also the additional switches. I’ve a few blanks but if I was making a pod then I’d follow your CAD. The dash mat and the pod do look very factory. My dash has reasonable space for a double-DIN but I’m impressed with the aluminium box, rivets and carpet. You’ve done in a couple of week, what I’ve failed to do in a couple of months. Would I do anything different? Well no. My application is a bit different but I need to think now! Thanks for making and sharing.

    CAD.... Carboard Aided Design..... I like it and its a time honoured process. In shop we would score the fold lines a lot deeper to help them fold easier and get a square edge bend. You could also use Vinyl or leather for wrapping, carpet is more difficult but cheaper. May have put the Head unit on an small angle pointing toward you. May be a pull out glare hood over the head unit so as you can see it in the sun or pushed a littel back in the shell so as it has shade over the screen.
    Nice job but!

    I have considered such a method but the location on top of the dashboard obscures the view essentially with a high clearance rig and even difficult for off-roading. So I brought it down just under the ac vent and a second tab facing me from the passenger side dash top/shelf.
