I have an Atoto a6 pro and so far so good on everything. I currently use my phone as a wifi hotspot for the unit and also connect it through Bluetooth, but I was wondering if there is a way to be able to receive notifications that I'm getting a call or text messages and answer, without actually being in the bluetooth app that comes with the unit. I also have to be in the bluetooth app in order to hear the other person through the speakers.

I just installed the A6Y2721PB. Everything seems to be working well, EXCEPT I can't seem to find the app or settings where you set up the steering wheel controls.

The unit has the typical Key+ and Key#+ wires. My vehicle has a positive and negative wire coming from the wheel. I probed them and found that each button give a different resistance reading, so if I'm research is correct, they should work without an extra in-line devices (like a PAC box). I hooked the positive to Key+ and the negative to common chassis ground.

But, looking through the radio, I see absolutely nothing in apps or settings for setting up SWC or mapping the buttons.

Am I completely blind or is it possible the unit came with the wrong settings files?

Just bought the Atoto A6 Pro but I haven't had a chance to install it yet. But I was watching a video today and the guy said that Netflix doesn't work on the A6. Is this true? This video was uploaded just last month so I'm guess it had an updated firmware on it. So I'm just curious if Netflix works or not. Thanks.

I have not been able to find a place to buy the dongle to do android auto (atoto ac-cpaa48). Is that the only one that works? Is there another non-Atoto brand that works also? Or should I not worry about it and try to go with the head unit reloaded route?

My brightness button no longer adjusts the brightness level. Anyone else run into this?

The button still looks the same, just nothing happens when I press it.

I already checked the cables and they are good.

Thank you.

I have an Atoto a6 pro (A6Y2721PRB)

I've got everything up and going and I'm happy with the whole setup, but now I'm just nitpicking.

I use Bluetooth and mobile hotspot from my phone and both work, no problem. The head unit will connect with Bluetooth almost instantly as I turn the key, but it takes about 30 seconds to a minute for it to log into the wifi hotspot. I know it's super nitpicky, but is there a way to speed up the auto connection to wifi?

Anyone attempting to use Amazon Music Unlimited with the A6?

I'm running into an issue and I can't determine if it's Atoto's problem, or Amazon's.

I can sign in to my Amazon prime/music account, (it does not require 2-step authorization) and it welcomes me by the account name on the splash screen as the app is loading. But then, I get the message: "TRANSFER AUTHORIZATION TO <account name>. This device is currently authorized to play music from another customer's Amazon Music Library."

I transfer authorization by clicking the button "Transfer Authorization" and the app finishes loading and I have access to all of my Amazon music library. If I check my authorized devices list on Amazon, I will see this device on the list, with a registration date of Today's Date.

Everything works well for the rest of the day. Switching off the car and getting back in, if I go to Amazon music I don't have to re-enter my credentials; it just opens up and starts playing.

BUT!

The next day, I have to go through the process all over again. I get the "This device is currently authorized to play music from another customer..." message and I must re-authorize. The device shows in the registered device list, but now it's the new date. (For reference, other Amazon devices such as Kindles are in the list, with their original registration date from a year ago or more.)

Also, while Amazon allows up to 10 registered devices for Amazon Music, I have only 3 devices in my list, of which the A6 is one.

I thought at first that perhaps the A6 was generating a different Device ID, causing Amazon to think it was a new device each time, but I have confirmed it's the same device ID each time.

I suppose it's possible that there is another A6 out there with my same device ID, logging in to Amazon Music and transferring authorization back to their account each day. But I seriously doubt it.

It is extremely tedious having to re-enter email and password on the A6 screen each day I want to use Amazon Music, and many days I will skip it and use other music services - btw, every other account works fine on this device. I never have to re-login for SiriusXM or Waze or Google or YouTube, etc. Only Amazon Music. I realize I could just ditch it, but I do have reasons for needing it on occasion to listen on occasion.

I really do suspect the problem is somehow on Amazon, but dealing with any kind of tricky technical issue with them is very difficult.

I've had mine installed for about 6 months, and the WiFi is just wonky. It was super slow, unusable, at first. Atoto support told me to reset, which helped but it's still not right. Any new wifi connection always failes with an authentication problem in the first attempt, then connects on the second attempt. Later reconnects match your experience, anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds to connect. I finally got a hotspot set up for incar use and did a speed test. 1.5 mbs down and 13.5 up (t mobile service). The download speed is the same I get connected to my 100mbps home network in the driveway. We've got an AP in the window of the house, so the slow WiFi is definitely the head unit. Why is it that the upload speed is 10 times faster? No idea, but certainly that's not right. I'd be delighted to have a fix, the unit is usable, but only just for apps needing a steady stream of data and regular app updates are a pita.

I installed the A6 today. Netflix won't even show up in the play store. Either does Disney+. Anyone else not seeing these not the play store also or just me?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] glassjaw99:
I get pretty good speeds from the hotspot on my phone. I stream full 1080p YouTube with no buffering issues or anything. I switch to the 5ghz band on my hotspot and it made a world of difference. I just want it to instantly connect to my wifi on key turn though, like Bluetooth.

Maybe your speed issues can be solved with the 5ghz band change
[Android Head-Units] MichaelBrock:
I just installed an Atoto A6 Pro into my truck. Everything is working well except that the quick charge feature is not working through the 2 "split" USB ports. I tried enabling in the "Quick charge" app but it already was (and switching back an forth between standard and quick charge did nothing). It does charge, just not "quick charge" . I saw earlier in this thread a few other people reporting this. Does it work for anyone on a Pro unit? Any ideas on how to get it working?
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
Does this unit have overheating issues like other Android head units? I purchased one and will receive it next week. Need to know if I should open it and add thermal paste and an active cooling fan before installing.
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
I've had my A6 Pro A6Y2721PRB for 4 months and have not had any overheating issues -- the system has been very stable without a single unexpected reboot or system freeze. I have not seen any reports from others in the XDA forums nor the ATOTO forums about overheating issues. If you do decide to open it up, please take some pictures of the internals.
[Android Head-Units] CpTChucky:
To use android auto do you have to use the Atoto USB dongle or can you just install the app on the head unit?
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
You don't need the dongle. You install Android Auto on your phone and Head Unit Reloaded App on the ATOTO.

Hi All !

I followed the instructions.

I have a Outlander 2015 and a ATOTO Pro A6.

After configuring the AWSC-1, only two buttons on the steering wheel work in the mapping panel (Volume up and skip right) no other wheel button is recongnized by ATOTO

I tried to swap the wires from the male jack connected to Steering key and key# with no luck.

Anybody encountered the same problem ?

Thank you (I also posted in the thread cited above. Sorry if I should not have)

Internal Photos

Here are some photos I took which are the internals of the A6Y2721PRB. I did this to see if any active cooling would be needed but it the CPU area is fully sealed off.
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
I'm happy to report that this head unit has proper working, DUAL BLUETOOTH which allows you to connect to BT Dongles, such as those used by anti-laser / radar applications such as the AL Priority. The ONLY head unit which had this working properly before the Atoto A6 was the NewsMy NR/NU3000 series which are now very out of date. For reference, none of the PX5 / Cortex / Intel Sofia I tested had this working. Thank You, Atoto for releasing a proper, working product!
[Android Head-Units] cooleb09:
Hi, I hope that this hasn't been asked before (I tried searching this threads for "tasker" and "automate"), but has anyone got one of theseautomation apps working on an atoto unit - seemingly the service/background process for it gets killed on sleep and it isn't relaunched by the unit - I'm try to make it always open bluetooth music then waze on every launch without me interacting with it.

Dash Cam

Hi, when the dash cam fills up the SD card, what happens? does the stereo tell you it is full, or does it simply loop record over oldest data? Also, how many hours of footage fits on the SD card that comes with the unit.?:confused: Thanks
[Android Head-Units] sd_shadow:
It records over the oldest, depends on the quality of the video.

[Android Head-Units] LoloTheJeeper:
I finally found a solution to my problem.

I got rid of the aswc-1

I connected pin 9 from the 20 pin power harness to the steering wheel key + (not the #) of the ATOTO pro and I also connect pin 19 to ground.

That's it !

After that I configured the different associations between keys and action in

Settings general settings steering wheel on ATOTO.

Hope it helps :)

Merry xmas to all. !!!

I just purchased and installed the A6Y2721PR and I have a couple of questions. I have an Essential PH-1 running Android 9.

1. How do I get the HU to accept USB or Bluetooth tethering? I turn either one on on my phone but the HU still has no internet access.

2. Is there an android audio player app that has touchscreen gesture/swipe control similar to video playback controls with VLC? (eg. swipe up for volume up)

3. Is there any way to set up crossover settings for the front and rear cabin speakers? Are the frequencies listed in subwoofer output LPF frequencies?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] kevdav100:
To get the BT to auto tether I may have a solution, but only for Android

1, install Bluetooth tethering manager on both the HU and the phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomlocksapps.bluetoothtetheringmanager, set it up on both the HU and the phone using the wizard in the app

Now normally this should be enough, but I think what is happening is the HU is shutting down all apps when it is switched off, so when the HU is powered up again, the app needs to be manually restarted, which is not what we want.

2, install BT auto connect https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.refluxa.android.bac and this one too https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect and set them both up (not sure you need both, but I have them both installed), again I think the HU shuts these down when it is turned off.

So now we need to try stop the HU turning these apps off, and I think that is done through battery optimization

3, Settings > apps > gear icon top right > battery optimization > and then choose the apps that you don't want to be optimized (all the BT ones above).

I think this may help, but I am still testing it at the moment, and sometimes it can take a short while for BT tethering to connect, but try it out and report back if you could to see if it helps

You, sir, are awesome. Thank you very much. It's just so weird that they advertise bt tethering yet rely on 3rd party software for it and provide no suggestions.
[Android Head-Units] kevdav100:
Well give it a go first to make sure it works for you ..... when I had my Nexus7 setup, the BT tethering manager was all I needed because when the IGN was switched off, the N7 didn't shut down the tethering manager on the Nexus, but I am pretty sure that it is doing it here on the A6 through the battery optimization ... but I still needed to have the other 2 apps (although just one of them may only be needed) to get it to start tethering without my intervention, like I say I am still in testing at the moment and it may still not work as it should, but so far so good ...

Yes crazy they do not allow BT tethering to take place automatically, please report back after you have tested it and hopefully will be working ok for you .. if not we will have to fins another solution.
[Android Head-Units] sonicsleuth:
Hey all, quick question. Trying an install of an Atoto A6Y2710SB, and cannot get any internet connection to work through Wifi OR BT tethering. If I park the car directly next to my window - with the Wifi completely working on my phone - it connects to the Wifi but shows no connection "level" on the Wifi icon, and won't connect through any app (says no network). So I disable Wifi and BT tether to my phone, and the same thing happens - no network. To troubleshoot, I turned off the Wifi on my phone (so I was using data), then turned off the Wifi on my laptop, connected my laptop through BT tethering to my phone, and browsed just fine. Still nothing on my Atoto.

So, I looked at my firmware. 9.4.3. Seems okay, but I factory reset, try all the above solutions... nothing works. I download a new firmware update.zip to USB, update firmware from scratch, wait 20 minutes for that to finish, and then try BT tether... nope. Wifi... nope. Same exact issue. Then, to see if it's an issue with the Wifi antenna, I unplug that from the unit and the Wifi now has a different error - meaning the antenna was working. (And the antenna picked up a ton of Wifi signals from the surrounding area, so it was clearly working.

To restate... I can connect my Atoto to my phone's BT tethering or my apartment's Wifi connection. Under neither of those connections can I access the internet from the Atoto, even though I can from a laptop surfing through the same BT tether connection on my phone.

It seems as though something about the networking functionality in the stereo is just... bad. Am I missing something? Is there some network screen or security feature I'm just not aware of? ANY solutions are welcome. Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] kevdav100:
Just check the date and time are set correctly, I have had this several times where the Stereo date and time does not change to the correct time zone, and this gives the no connection error.
[Android Head-Units] sonicsleuth:
This felt like a great solution that would solve all my problems... but it doesn't seem to work. I manually changed to the correct time zone and time, and that didn't help. I tried to use GPS time and that didn't change anything (didn't change the time). In fact, when I load Google Maps it doesn't even show a default map... but when I run the GPS Check app to make sure the GPS is detecting, it has signal, shows where I am in the world, etc.

Also, if I go to the settings screen with the network status, there is nothing under "IP address" when hooked up to Wifi, BT tethering, or USB tethering. There is a MAC address and a BT address. And, I hooked a USB between my phone and the face to see if I could USB share... also no network.

If this were a computer, I would say uninstall all the network adapters and and nuke the networking code and reinstall everything... but I've done that with factory reset and network setting reset and it makes no difference. It's like there's a handshake that works (with either BT or Wifi), but after that point, no communication. I'm stumped!

anyone tried the recent update? I'm confused with the 2nd link (MCU) on how it will be used.

We just released the newest firmware update OS9.5.1&MCU, you can download the update file to your SD card (format into FAT32 or NTFS, you would need to delete the previous update file to avoid further trouble) :

not sure how "quick charge" can be "quick charge" when it says it will only output 2amps

It's better then 1amp chargers, but quick chargers are like 3amps or more.

Hi,

I'm very happy with my atoto a6 Pro but a few noob questions..

1.. My suzuki scross had dab already, but this unit is usb and my existing is fakra connection. Is there a way to convert rather than install a separate USB dab aerial?

2.. Again for reverse cam already built in...

3.. Unit spec says 3 USB connections yet I only have 1? Can I fit a USB splitter, will it work?

4... Bluetooth tether. I use my phone to link the Bluetooth to my mobile Internet. Is there a way of doing this automatically when the phone connects to the Bluetooth of atoto?

Cheers [emoji106]

New ATOTO (S8) Coming

I saw this on their support website: https://support.myatoto.com/show-29-25-1.html

I'm very happy with my ATOTO A6 Pro but wish it was quite a bit faster and ran a later version of Android (particularly on that allows split screens).

The new one should be much faster and I suspect will support split screens.
[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
There is one USB built into the front and the others are in the back, so if you want to use them, run the cords and install them somewhere in your dash (you can find faceplate plugs for a neat install on Amazon). The quick charge USB is one of the back ones.

Use the Android app "Blue Car Tethering". It is easy to set up, just choose which Bluetooth profiles you want to connect automatically to Internet tethering and from then on, every time you connect to those Bluetooth connections, tethering will start automatically. I'll hopefully be getting my A6 installed very soon finally, but I have tested the app with connecting to my iPad to tether the Internet from my phone and it works perfectly and immediately.

Hello,

I have problem with Bluetooth1. I have my phone paired and it is working great but I can't pair any other device. Atoto doesn't see them and vice versa.

I even did a software factory reset recently and it didn't help.

any ideas?

I have atoto a6 Pro with newest software

Thanks for your help. I've installed the blue car tether app and it doesn't work. I still have to manually click it on my phone to connect.
[Android Head-Units] sataniccrow:
Hi everyone,

is that possible to connect the rear (parking) proximity sensors to the atoto unit?

If yes, how? what happens normally on my car, it's that the car stereo shows the car figure and the direction where the "clostes obstacle(s)" is (are), once you shif into reverse
[Android Head-Units] what3va:
Can anyone describe how to pin reset the unit to factory settings?

if I disconnect power from the back of unit and press the pin down on front panel, and then while still pressing pin I plug in power back it does not reset the settings.

Doing a factory reset from backup menu in settings it does keep Bluetooth1 settings intact.
[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
Did you set up the "Blue Car Tether" app by opening it and throwing a checkmark next to the Bluetooth connections you want it to tether automatically with? You put the app on your phone, not the stereo, in case that was confusing.

---------- Post added at 05:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 AM ----------

I have no idea, but why not just get one of their backup cameras if you want an image on the screen like that? They have a $20 one that is just the live view of the camera and a $72 one that is live view plus generated bird's-eye view with its own processor, showing both on a split-screen. I decided to go for the latter recently, so I have one of the $20 cameras to get rid of (plus an ASWC-1 to get rid of since I got the newer waterproof version which is apparently easier to pair/set up according to the guy who is going to do my install), but I think it will be worth it for the bird's-eye view, which I experienced on a family member's new car (granted theirs uses multiple cameras built in to the car).

Hey all,

I have the A6 Pro for a while and recently when booting from fully off (like when you do when you restart) it takes much longer because it does some "Optimizing apps 1 of 1" for quite long. Fast boot and other functions ain't affected. Any idea how to fix this? Also today after leaving the car parked for a few weeks, the screen backlight wasn't coming on, but I could see it was doing the "optimizing" thing if I pointed a torch light to the screen. Eventually it did start after switching the ignition off and then back on after a bit. I don't have the latest firmware by the way, is it worth upgrading?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
I believe that if you don't use your car for two weeks, the Atoto turns all the way off, so that's why you didn't get the fast boot then. On my Android phone, it only optimizes apps when it does an OS update, but can you recall if this problem started after you updated the firmware or added/updated a certain app?

I'm getting my A6 Pro installed next week (unless they put Marshall law into effect), but I definitely am going to do the most recent update for the new unlock-with-Bluetooth feature (don't need the occasional family member, car repairman, or valet accessing my Google account or anything else) and the steering wheel button to use a voice assistant because my state has a new law where you can only touch your phone once while driving (including at red lights) to make/accept a call (or use GPS) and you're not allowed to hold it, either. Who knows if upgrading would fix your problem, but it is worth the try, IMO.
