Hello everyone,

I have an A6Y2710SB and I’m looking for any ROMs or apps that will allow me to activate the rear view camera when the vehicle is put in reverse. I’ve quadruple checked my wiring and can get the live image if plug the camera into the dedicated FCAM port instead of the RCAM port and open the app in reverse but I’m wanting it to automatically bring up the feed once I put the vehicle in reverse regardless of what app I’m in at the time.

Any help would be appreciated. I’ve been trying to get this sorted for a few days and I don’t think I can have a good nights sleep until I do haha

Hi there, I bought the Android 13 Head Unit for my nephew. This unit was purchased for the Peugeot 301 and has been successfully installed in the car. The problem arose after an online update. The only thing you can see is the Android boot loop (video 1). After the contact of the Chinese, she sent me if I see the System's information Figure 1. From it I conclude that it is K2501, because I forgot to take a photo of the system before the update. I tried to find some solution to get to the recovery menu and make a factory reset, but unsuccessfully. The only thing I can read from the unit is in Figure 2. Would someone find who would know how to get into the recovery menu? Or how to fix it? The last option is to send back to China. well thank you

Trouble with auto dimming

Hi! Is anyone else having trouble with the auto-dimming feature? I have an A6 Pro (A6Y2721PRB) and ever since I updated the firmware to 9.4.3 the screen brightness does not dim when I turn on my headlights. Oddly enough, if I manually dim it, it will automatically brighten when I turn off my headlights so I know that the wiring is still good.) I've tried disabling and re-enabling this feature in the device settings, but no luck getting it to dim automatically the way it used to. I upgraded to 9.5.1 last night, but the new update did not fix it either. Thanks in advance for any advice on this!

Your car may have its own built-in amplifier. If so, the output of this unit (which is designed to directly drive the speakers) would be too powerful for the input of the amplifier. You may need to use a line-level converter to decrease the signal output so that the amp can handle it. I'm using one in my car and it works well. They cost under $20. I'm new, so I can't post a link, but search Scosche SLC4 on google or amazon.
[Android Head-Units] jsylvest:
Sounds like a DOA to me. These units quickly show a screen animation when powered on. If you didn't get that, it might be a brick.
[Android Head-Units] pseudus:
This HAS to be the issue, anyone have an further insight here? Looking myself now. ;)

EDIT: So from what I can tell, you run the speaker connections from the factory harness to the line-level converter, then run RCA's from that to the head unit?
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
The ATOTO A6 Pro has line-level outputs (RCA outputs on the back), so if your vehicle has a separate amplifier, then you should probably be using those.
[Android Head-Units] pseudus:
Can I just splice RCA's on the end of my speaker wires from the harness kit and then plug those in to the RCA inputs on the A6? Or do I need the Scosche SLC4 Speaker Level Converter?
[Android Head-Units] sd_shadow:
I think splicing should be fine.
[Android Head-Units] jsylvest:
The factory OEM sound systems can be weird. I tried using the RCA outputs, but the volume was way too low, and I heard a lot of digital noise. The Scoche converter has a switch for OEM sound systems, which seems to require a hotter signal than line level, but not as hot as speaker outputs. The Scoche unit connects to the speaker wires and outputs to the OEM amp. It has little set screws that grab each wire, so you don't need any other connectors.

[Android Head-Units] X-Nemesis:
Edit: I got the unit installed and it runs properly and I ran the recent update without issues. The only problem I've got is no sound.

I was reading something above regarding whether your car is using a separate amp which mine is and has the 6 RCA cables for FR FL RR RL and two RCA's for SUB-L and SUB-R which I plugged into the A6Pro using a Y splitter. ( I assume this will work?)

Am I missing something here in order to get sound?
[Android Head-Units] alfie2350:
Hello! I am thinking of picking up this unit. Before doing so does anyone know the preamp voltage for the rca outputs? I already have a line output converter that outputs 4v connected to my aftermarker amplifier. If the the voltage is the same or less I'll just stick with my converter since it is already connected. I would appreciate any help given. Many thanks.

what is the current update from ATOTO version of android? Any idea when android 8.0 will be released for it? I would like to have the split screen feature some of the other android units have with the latest OS but the ATOTO still seems to have some of the best hardware/suppoprt

I've got a A6Y2721PB that's been overheating randomly for a while now, I was going back and forth with Atoto tech support and they suggested firmware/mcu updates (which were performed), factory resets, and lastly, uninstall waze. After uninstalling waze today I let my car run to see if the overheating issue would come back, and it did, and now I've lose audio output from the head unit. If it weren't for the heat issue I really like this unit, does anyone have any suggestions?
[Android Head-Units] MelenaHelen:
It's a great android head unit. I'm using it like a pro. :D
[Android Head-Units] les_garten:
For you folks using the Pro model. How does it do on audio compared to a HeadUnit from Alpine or Pioneer or so? My real question is I ma building out a somewhat High End audio system and don't want to waste my time on this if I will be disappointed in the sound from it. I'll only be using the Pre amp level outputs.
[Android Head-Units] twokidsandaphone:
I've only tried mine on the bench but sounds good. You may want to consider new joying unit that has built in DSP chip and digital SPDIF out. As well Ownice has an 8 channel DSP model (c800) coming out and it appears it will have the ability to have and control bandwith/crossover slopes for front tweeter/mid/woofer/subwoofer all separately.
[Android Head-Units] les_garten:
The DSP is interesting, but not a big deal, my amp has a really nice built in DSP. It has SPDIF as well but it is Toslink. The thing I am most interested in is Good Audio, 10.1 Good Screen, and Good Radio, stable, etc. The Joying look pretty good. Thanx!

p.s. I'm looking over the Joying unit and it has some potential, thanx!

I installed the Easy Connect app on the phone and enabled USB Debugging as per the instructions, but when I click ok on the following prompt from the app for the USB connection option, it pops up this message.

"Because an app is obscuring a permission request, settings can't verify your response"

[Android Head-Units] sd_shadow:
Do you have an app that that changes the screen color?
[Android Head-Units] X-Nemesis:
Maybe Nova Launcher, but nothing else that I can see in my app list.

I found the culprit. It was the floating bar on my LG V35.
[Android Head-Units] jsylvest:
I wonder if the resistance of your speakers might be too low? If they are 2ohm they may be allowing too much current to flow and overheating the transistors in the amplifier circuit. Also, if you've got multiple speakers wired in parallel you could have too low resistance as well.

Also, it might sound obvious, but is your heater core really close to the unit? That could make it over heat.

If so, maybe some heat sheilding would help?
[Android Head-Units] tenchuuu:
The speakers are factory Subaru (nothing fancy) so I doubt the impedance is too low? The heat is close, the face ducts go right above the radio, but I have another (last Gen) atoto a6 in my other car and the heat vents are on both sides of the radio and that's never overheated.
[Android Head-Units] X-Nemesis:
A few more questions about this unit after using it for a bit.

1. Can you turn off the screen completely and still listen to music?

2. Is there a way to get the Atoto to connect automatically when the car starts to the phone's hotspot?

3. Is anyone else experiencing very slow download speeds even with 3-4 bars on Wifi (both channels) And then also very slow installation speed of apps from the Goog Playstore?

4. The EasyShare app gives three options, USB, and Wifi for Android or IOS. I interpreted it that you need to connect the phone via USB first to get stuff set up but then after that you can connect via Wifi from then on. Is this correct and if so, how do you do it?
[Android Head-Units] redmiataowner:
I am having a problem getting audio out from my car speakers from an iphone/ipod connected via USB.

I have tried 2 iphones and 1 ipod. I have tried 3 different USB cables. I have tried the back USB port, the front USB port and the Atoto y-cable.

I get music from the iphone/ipod speakers, but not the car speakers.

The devices will charge just fine. I have switched to normal charging.

The radio and iphone connected thru bluetooth play ok, so i'm sure its not the amplifier nor speakers.

one caveat: it is a $180.00 unit that was returned by the original buyer, so it could be a hardware problem. I have no idea how i could verify that.

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

For any of you who may be curious what the inside looks like and under the shield. I had some overheating issues with the last two A6s I had so I'm looking to add some cooling to this one.
[Android Head-Units] les_garten:
What were the symptoms?

Are you using the builin amp or the Preamp outs?
[Android Head-Units] tenchuuu:
Built in, after about 60-90 minutes of driving (I drive a lot for work) head unit would start boot looping and be very hot to touch, in the end the amp died and I had no audio output
[Android Head-Units] les_garten:
Was the headunit still functional other than the amp section?
[Android Head-Units] tenchuuu:
Yes
[Android Head-Units] les_garten:
Yeah...

You can look into these boxes and see that they are not up to being an amp IMO.

Being a Headunit and a Pre-amp should be fine, but using the amp section is asking for trouble IMO.

Thanx for the info. I am looking to do an Android Headunit as a Preamp only, hopefully that will work out.

Wish Samsung would get into this market...

I'm using an app called CARSPOT READY and it works perfectly. Everytime the Smartphone is connected via BT with ATOTO A6 PRO (or any other device) start the HotSpot function. When I leave my car the Hotspot turn off automatically.

Steering wheel controls

Please list the make and model of your vehicle. You should have purchased an adapter wiring harness specific to your make/model in order to wire it into the Atoto wiring harness. The Atoto wiring harness has two wires specifically for steering wheel control or SWC. They should be labeled SWC + and SWC [+] . You may not need the ASWC-1 at all. I didn't for my Tacoma. You will have to splice in an additional ground wire to the harness ground wire. These 3 wires will connect to the factory steering wheel control wires. I don't know which. I found a YouTube video listing mine. There is a SWC menu in the setting where you select the function and press the corresponding button on the steering wheel and the steroids learns that function. Do the rest with the remaining functions needed and save the changes and exit.

I do not however seem to be able to use the steering wheel controls, tried the button matching screen but I get no response when pressing buttons.

Is anyone else using the canbus adapter for VW on a 2017 or later model that has working steering wheel buttons (I assume via the canbus)?

Why won't my Atoto A6 Pro play certain songs via Bluetooth? I am having issues with the Atoto refusing to play certain music files on my phone via Bluetooth (No matter what codec). No matter what music player on my phone they refuse to play. They are regular MP3 320kps files. The rest of my MP3 320kps and FLAC files work perfectly, but once a playlist play one of the problematic songs, the song pauses (it never plays) and my phone disconnects from the Atoto. This did not happened before on my factory head unit. Strangely enough the problematic songs work perfectly via Aux input. Would you guys have an idea why these issues happen and how to fix it?

Volume and Eq issues

Hello and good morning all. I bought the A6 pro A6Y2721PR last week and finally had a chance to install it in my LegacyGT. So far i love it and am familiarizing my self with it all. One issue i have found and haven't really found a fix yet is when the volume is 13 or below it cuts all low end audio like mid-bass to sub bass, once the volume is 14 or above it is fine. Also if i adjust the eq levels it never saves the custom settings. it always reverts to what ever preset eq i had it on. Is there a "custom" eq option? has anyone else experienced the volume/ audio issue?
[Android Head-Units] dementedGT:
I have since done some more troubleshooting and have narrowed the issue down to the eq portion. I changed the eq settings and mysteriously my volume issue with the bass went away.

Jeep Wrangler 2008

Hello Everyone ! Here's a strong first post :)

I installed this head unit last weekend; Atoto A6 Premium A6Y2721PB, and everything went smooth with the installation of the head unit and the CRUX SOOCR-26 radio interface to match my Jeep Wrangler 2008 with Infinity amplifier.

So everything work perfectly fine (GPS, Internet, audio in general, streaming audio from my iPhone) but in call, i get no sound/ really low volume audio on my side of the call (and phone volume in head unit and iPhone are leveled at max), but the other party is hearing me perfectly. I updated everything, me head unit os and the MCU file to the latest with no changes at all. I tried with an android phone too and I got the same behavior.

I should note that as my jeep is pretty basic except for the amp, some wire where not connected like the camera, wheel steering, park sensor illlumination.

Someone else saw this problem before ?
[Android Head-Units] Oamamn5:
Ok here's your problem first question is does your jeep have 6.5s in the front that provide only bass? Like mid bass? My 05 jeep grand cherokee has the Boston acoustic system the same way the problem is bluetooth calling uses only the front speakers what you want to do is go behind the dash and connect front to rear I'm trying to find the page for you online I saw a post about it awhile back and it fixed my problem with Bluetooth calling they could hear me but I couldn't hear them.

Having issues with Bluetooth steering wheel controls. I removed the Atoto controls because they offer no customisability which is incredibly stupid.

Connecting the BT controls works very sparingly. If I power off the vehicle and then power back on, the radio connects to the controls but none of the inputs work. It requires me to restart the entire head unit, which is very unnecessary.

Any ideas? The radio correctly identifies the controls as Input controller.
