Hey just wanted update you guys.... I did a factory data reset (from within settings like when you're going to sell a used android phone) and now everything with my SD card and USB are working. I noticed something in the notification shade called "permissions manager" that I think I had turned on in the past. Could be what was stopping music players from accessing music on my SD and USB storage. Hard to say, but it works fine now and the manager is set to off by default. I was also able to run the update without any file copy errors so the block on my storage drives is lifted at last!

I still cannot get Google Play Music specifically to access any of my stored music though, but all of the other 3rd party apps will and that's good enough for now and probably app-specific at this point.

For now at least, I finally found another music app I like called Musicolet. It looks good and sorts things in a similar way to Play Music, my previous go-to app. It has a lot of advanced customization as well. I haven't figured out how to get it to auto-resume playing but that's probably in the options menu somewhere.

It has separate output control in the sound settings that work with the sub out. Keep in mind it's a mono output. So you might want to use a y splitter for an amp with left and right inputs like most have. I use that personally and it works well. It's slightly more of a volume adjustment than a fully independent sub control, if that makes sense. Like it has 80hz and 120hz (wish they had a lower option than that) crossover but it's nowhere near as sharp of a crossover as a dedicated one on a traditional stereo. It also keeps closer to the main volume with basically a gain adjustment. It's fine and works as well as I need it to, but just for example, it won't completely cut off the sub even at "0" It will just lower it a lot. So it may take a little bit of adjustment on your amp side to get a happy middle-ground between the two. I use just an 8" polk home theater sub and an old 300 watt car amp so I don't have that much overhead for bass to worry about.

Tried search but did not find anything.

I have a Dayton DSP-408 in place, thinking about better headunit.

Would like to send audio signal to it over Bluetooth 4.0 and aptX without any pre-amping, just plain digital.

Does A6Pro support audio out over bluetooth?

Can I do that?

Flip Video 180°?

I bought a camera, and it was shown mounted upside-down. So when mounted in the orientation I planned on (based on the product photo), the picture is upside-down on my cheapo monitor. Does the A6 have an option to flip the video 180° so I can go ahead and use this camera? Or do I need to get a different camera?
[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
What size SD card will I need for doing the A6 updates? I won't be using it for anything else as far as I know. Thanks!

Can all three USB connections on the back of the Atoto A6 Pro be used for charging phones? I definitely need the Quick Charge one for myself, but am wondering if other passengers can use one or both of the other rear USBs (with cords running to adapter plugs, of course). Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] brlowe:
I have used at least 2 of them at the same time.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

Can someone tell me where to find the new firmware update? I looked on the Atoto website and only found an old update from almost a year ago. ***Edit *** found the update

Also is there usb cell adapter that I can plug in to give it internet connection without hotspot from my phone?
[Android Head-Units] opjose:
Yes there is a hidden passworded gain menu.

Look on ATOTO's site and search for "Microphone gain" to find instructions.
[Android Head-Units] Joshlbw:
Howdy, I bought this ATOTO A6Y2710SB and paired it with the ATOTO backup camera. It worked fine for the day after I installed it, however now it doesn't want to turn on anymore when I put it into reverse. I know it's still getting power and it has been properly grounded so I'm not sure if it is a software issue? Any help would be amazing thanks!
[Android Head-Units] benjmiester:
I do know from installing a 3rd party one over Thanksgiving that the camera needs power and also a signal telling the HU when to kick to backup cam when you put it in reverse, and when to lick back when leaving reverse. It was labeled rear camera + and initially was confusing me as I thought that wire was sending out power to the camera.

I did mine by tapping a wire from reverse light in the trunk and splitting it, 1 to camera power + and the other through the long camera wire to the HU to the rear camera + (reverse trigger) wire which accepts power, not sends it. Hope that helps a little.

Oh almost forgot there are a few rear camera settings like showing the guide or not. In display settings I think.

---------- Post added at 03:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 AM ----------

Does this HU support changing the dpi? I can't find any adjustments for size/dpi except font size some of the buttons on 3rd party apps are tiny and hard to hit while driving.

Radio App

Are there any other radio apps that may be better than the stock one? No sure why but mine is only letting me have 5 pre programmed stations. Would like more and maybe info like station name and song info.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
You can defo have more than 5, I don't know what you're doing there. I hope you've tried to swipe left and right on the radio stations saved!

Also no, you can't change the standard radio app I'm afraid. I got the dab adapter so I could download an app to run it, at least then I had a choice.
[Android Head-Units] brlowe:
Yes I have swiped right and left. I will delete all data for the radio app and see if that resets it.

What is a DAB adaptor? What is it used for?

It was set on white. I changed it to black. I can't see where anything has changed, and I can't find any explanation of what the setting is supposed to do.

That should change the color of the backlight for the physical buttons across the bottom of the ATOTO front panel. I have mine set to red, and my buttons are lit up red.

Is there a way to have Bluetooth 2 connect automatically for data or do I have to connect it manually every time? I have the A6 Pro A6Y2721PRB
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Dab is a digital radio system, you need a usb adapter to get it.
[Android Head-Units] col5ter:
I searched this thread and haven’t found an answer but after updating firmware to 9.5.1, how do you update the MCU? I have a model with the Y.

Both files are on a USB.
[Android Head-Units] maccaberry:
Put the downloaded MCU file on a USB stick and insert to the USB on the front (if your model has one) or another USB port from the back. The unit should detect the USB and offer to update MCU. If it doesn't do that you can go to the USB via the file browser and select the file. Takes a couple of minutes to install.

Keyboard is gone

Starting yesterday whenever I need the keyboard to pop up to enter in text the keyboard will not pop up. I'm new to the Android world and have no clue what to check. I went into the main settings and clicked on language and input and made sure the gboard was selected. It is showing the it is on but the on/off slider is grayed out but is pointing toward on.

Any suggestions?
[Android Head-Units] Syndeo:
Also, does anyone know if the A6 unit comes preinstalled with a plastic screen protector? It looks like it has one but I don’t want to peel it off.
[Android Head-Units] gottifour:
I'm pretty sure they are separate in the box. I just installed mine and can't remember though!
[Android Head-Units] Achristocat:
My unit is an atoto a6 pro a6y2721prb. It shipped with a protective film for transport that I removed. It also came with 2 screen protectors - one matte, and one shiny. They gave you a choice..! :)

[Android Head-Units] finnd1:
I only just installed my A6 last night, but after upgrading the code, immediately enabled the lock screen feature. With the new code I have it set to automatically unlock when it pairs to my phone via bluetooth. The A6 pairs quickly with my Samsung Note8 and unlocks the A6 screen within seconds.

I also went into control panel : Apps to disable the google mail app and anything else I know I won't be using on the A6, so as to limit access to others.

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

Has anyone else experienced Torque no longer being on the A6 after the most recent firmware upgrade? I'm not complaining, as this 'should' pave the way for me to easily install the licensed version I have owned for years.

2007 Jeep Wrangler with stock amp

I just installed the Atoto A6 into my 2007 JKU (with stock amplifier) last night, following the instructions of the PAC C2R-CHY4 Radio Replacement Interface to wire the front speakers from the radio to the rear speakers of the amp. Well, it works well, but I am only getting sounds from my front speakers now. using the fade via the radio does decrease the sound going to the front, but sends nothing to the "rear" overhead bar.

Bluetooth 2

I saw someone else asked this question with no response. I have an iPhone. My iPhone sees 2 Bluetooth networks (Atoto and Bluetooth 2). When I turn on my car (Atoto with 10.1” screen) it will auto connect to the “Atoto” Bluetooth but not the “Bluetooth 2” one. I have to click on it on my phone or Atoto to get it to connect. Does anyone know why there is 2 Bluetooth connections and why they both don’t auto connect?
[Android Head-Units] comptechltd:
The second Bluetooth connection (Bluetooth 2) is for the data connection for your head unit. Apparently using Bluetooth for data uses much less battery than true wifi sharing. Also I can tell you if your phone is currently connected to WiFi (say you're at home when you start your vehicle) it won't connect. I have a Samsung note 8 and it behaves exactly like yours does.
[Android Head-Units] CocZamudio:
Possible keyboard solution

I had a somewhat similar problem: When I tried to use the keyboard to enter text, a popup screen with a “Help build a better keyboard” message came up and I could not enter text. I restarted the ATOTO A6 but I still got the “Help build a better keyboard” screen. ATOTO Support suggested I do a Factory Data Reset by pressing Settings --> Backup & Reset --> Factory Data Reset but that did not solve my problem.

My solution: I was able to use an external USB keyboard (plugged into the USB connection on the front of the A6) to sign in to the Play Store and update several apps including "Gboard - the Google Keyboard”. Now I am able to type using the on-screen A6 keyboard without getting the “Help with a better keyboard” message.

Good luck!
[Android Head-Units] rhino6303:
I'm looking to move on from my joying head unit and I have two questions about the atoto.

1. Does the unit lock Bluetooth to only connect to certain devices? For example, a Bluetooth obd dongle must be named "OBD" or "OBD2".

2. Does the unit allow otg functionality?

I use a subaru specific logging app called btssm and it uses a bluetooth dongle that is named "btssmk". If that won't connect, a vagcom cable would work via otg.

Thanks for help and possibly checking.

Hey all!

I'm trying to log in to my WitGarage (Garage door opener) app but the next button is under the bottom task bar and I can't press it.

I've tried enter on the keyboard and several fullscreen apps with out luck.

I was hoping to control the screen from another android device but it seems like rooting of the Atoto is needed for that.

Anybody have a suggestion?

Here's the app link in case somebody has an idea.

If the lower menu/navigation bar wasn't there would the app work? If so you can remove the menu bar for just that app using an ADB command from a laptop connected to the Atoto.

Hi, will it become possible to install Torque Pro at any time in the future? Is this under development? I have been patiently waiting for this for quite some time because I cannot use the stock Torque app installed in the device with my OBDKey reader (since I have a JDM Subaru). The OBDKey requires Torque Pro. I think a lot of people are craving this functionality.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
I think the new version is without Torque? Also can you not simply remove it from your version of the OS? I do know they released (once asked) a version of the OS (old version) without Torque as well.
[Android Head-Units] gottifour:
I can try that.. I've used a few full screen apps and it makes the bar disappear but still can't reach it.

So are you saying use ADB via the front USB port to a laptop?

Hi, is there any way to record video from "video in". I have a Back cam which is connected to A6 pro with Video in. I can see the live video from one of the Atoto apps but can't save or record it to sd card it. I have tried a few different DVR apps but did not work for me. All of the apps can't find any source. I am thinking to try with a USB Video Capture Card. Is there any easy way to do that? thanks.
[Android Head-Units] Drifthunteralbo:
Hi guys, hoping someone can help, this is extremely frustrating!

I am trying to install the new Firmware v9.6 and the MCU into my Atoto A6 Pro (A6Y272PRB-G) via a MicroSD card or a USB thumb drive, however the firmware update box does not ever appear.

I have tried to put both 'zh_arm_mcu.bin', and also 'zh_arm_mcu.bin.cpgz' (which is the file that extracts if you double click the first file) along with the firmware 'update.zip' in the same microsd. I have also tried a different microsd card and an external USB 8GB thumb drive. I have tried to format the card and thumbdrive through both my Macbook Pro and directly through the Atoto A6 Pro unit. I tried when both the card and usb drive were empty, and also when they had the default folders left by formatting through the unit.

When I insert the micro SD cards or thumbdrives, they are detected by the Atoto A6 Pro, and I can see the contents through the File Manager app, or through Settings, but the update box never appears from the main screen to prompt installation of the firmware.

Please help as I really want to update the firmware so I can install Torque Pro.

Thanks,

Albo

I have the A6 A62721P, when I installed the 9.6 Atoto AICE OS upgrade, the factory installed version of Torque was removed. I was then able to successfully install Torque Pro from Google Play Store.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

I spent Forever on this exact same issue like to pull my hair out. Out of all the apps in the Play Store and I mean all of them, I was able to get two to successfully work. Mind you these are DVR / dash cam apps and not just video capture apps.

The first one is called Road Recorder. It has less features and customization however it was the only one that I was able to get GPS to save a proper subtitle file with coordinates to overlay on the video. You can save to SD card and it will auto over right when it gets to whatever limit you set. You can manually toggle recording, set it to be GPS activated or have it start recording when the app is opened.

The other app I was able to get the rear camera to record was called Autoboy, it was my favorite and had the most customization features and options however one day it just stopped saving GPS coordinates to a subtitle file. It's still displays proper speed and location however the information on my unit is not saved properly. What's neat about Autoboy is they have a secondary Plugin/App you can install thats basically a small picture in picture window that will pop up whenever you desire.. Either manually or you can trigger by GPS or the launching of another app. There's a lot of customization settings but once you get them right the app is pretty solid.

I should mention that to get all the features working properly both apps are paid but not more than $2 I believe so it was well worth it.

The track recorder plug-in for Torque Pro would be an awesome solution as well as since it displays rear view camera video, however I could not ever get it to actually record on my head unit.

It's also noteworthy for anybody that sees this in the future looking to do the same thing that to record video and still have a functional backup camera you simply just need to split the video signal coming into the head unit, with a basic RCA Y Splitter so your rear-view camera is is feeding both the auxiliary input and the reverse camera input.
[Android Head-Units] nawjesh:
Thank you very very much. I was trying for the last 3 months. I have split the video signal from the reverse cam and feeding both the auxiliary input and the reverse camera input. but that's it. could not figure out how to record it. I did not have any hope someone will answer my question. Because I search everywhere, no one even mentions recording from the auxiliary input. I haven't tried the apps yet, i will try tomorrow. But thanks in advance.
[Android Head-Units] nmashe1:
No problem, you're welcome. I will admit it took a little trial and error and some patience to get the recording to start and stop when I wanted it to, so just take some time and mess around with the settings and Sample rates to get what you're looking for. Be careful not to set the resolution any higher than 1280x720, or it will cause the app to lock up. Oh and I've had absolutely no problem with recording both the front cam (using native dvr app) and rear camera (Road Recorder or Autoboy) simultaneously with enough memory left for to run Torque, Pandora or YouTube without any major lag. Going on 18mo, no issues.

Hello, I just buy a A6 Standard, but RDS sucks.

[Android Head-Units] Drifthunteralbo:
I'm glad you were able to install Torque Pro once you installed 9.6! This gives me hope.

My problem right now is I'm unable to get the unit to recognize the update file. Did you upgrade through MicroSD or a usb stick and how was it formatted? Also, what exact files were in the card when you put it into the unit? I put the update.zip file and the MCU file into an empty MicroSD, and slot it into the unit, but no pop-up box to update ever comes up. Many thanks for your help.

Just received my A6 Pro (A6Y2721PRB) and had tested it before installing using the RCA outs on the back.

Just installed it and I have NO CALL AUDIO!!! All the music players play fine, I can stream from my phone over BT, but when I make a call, I can't hear anything over the speakers. I plugged my powered speaker into the RCA outputs and I do have call audio there, but not over the wired speaker outputs.

Any suggestions out there?

It does have the most current Firmware 9.6 already on it...

*****************************************************************************

Answer: for Chrysler vehicles with an OEM amplified system:

The audio from a call or directions from a GPS is sent to the front speakers and Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler don't use these. Instead, it uses only the rear speakers connected to the amplifier. As soon as I inverted front and rear speakers wires everything was working.
[Android Head-Units] Alexeisayle:
My unit is now doing the same. I previously connected to my home wi-fi network without issue.

Just recently when i scan for wifi connections there are none show. I know the antenna is still plugged in and with the car on the drive should be picking up numerous wi-fi connection points.

Anyone else had the unit just refuse to find a single wi-fi connection when scanning?

Edit: After a reboot everything came back
[Android Head-Units] nmashe1:
Yes and no, depends on what you want to use the Hotspot for.

Since the A6 doesn't utilize a 3G/4G SIM card, and there's no "WiFi Sharing" (aka Wi-Fi repeater) option. I don't see a way, at least natively, to create a Wi-Fi hotspot to share data.

Now, If your intention is to create a Wi-Fi hotspot to share files, APPS, photos, etc.... with other devices... then you could achieve that through a number of apps, like: Google Files, Xsender, I think even the factory installed Quikpic app has the ability to create a Wifi-Hotspot for file sharing.
