I love the stereo but I can not make the steering wheel work with axxess ASWC-1 does anyone have any suggestions of what can I do?
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
What kind of vehicle steering wheel controls does your vehicle have? If it's a simple resistance circuit, then the ATOTO should have native support. If the vehicle uses a digital interface for SWC (e.g., CAN) then you probably need ASWC-1 or similar to make it work. This web site has some details on car steering wheel systems that might be helpful: http://www.exinterface.com/an1055/?ckattempt=1

Does the atoto a6 pro have a farka z type GPS connector? The pictures look like it but it is hard to tell. If so would I be able to use my cars GPS antenna?
[Android Head-Units] Paxie:
is there anyway we can re-map the buttons? Like I would like to re-map/switch the volume +/- (increase volume for the right-button, and decrease volume for left-button)? Or switch the Home and Mute button as it is closer to the driver side. TIA
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
Yes, the ATOTO A6 connectors for both WiFi and GPS are fakra-style connectors, although they are keyed differently. I'm not totally sure which keying ATOTO used for GPS, but I *think* they used "D". This is a link to the various standard fakra keyings:

https://m.eet.com/media/1203555/fakraf1a.png

If your car's GPS antenna uses the same keying as the ATOTO, then you should be good to go. If not, then use the provided ATOTO GPS antenna.

Yes, there is a way you can re-program the function for each of the front physical buttons on the A6 Pro. There is a description on the ATOTO support site (you need an account over there to access) for details on how to do this. http://support.myatoto.com/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=38&id=187

I haven't tried this myself, but it seems ATOTO supports it.
[Android Head-Units] Paxie:
Hi thanks for the reply. Yes, I joined that support site too, tried that setting but I believe it is for steering wheel control (if there is any connected), but mine does not have SWC. I tried the steps see if it will work with the front button, but it's not working. It just keeps blue highlighted even I pressed the button I wanted to re-map.

Tried few remapping apps as well, but it's not working as well.
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
I tried those instructions and confirm they don't seem to work for the ATOTO A6 Pro. I do have the steering wheel buttons all programmed and working. However that screen doesnt respond when I press the panel button that is to be mapped (it also doesn't respond if I press one of the steering wheel buttons). I do believe that page is supposed to be for reprogramming the front panel keys. So either the functionality if broken, or maybe it never worked on the A6 Pro. Sorry for directing you at something that doesn't work.
[Android Head-Units] Paxie:
another question regarding screen autobrightness connected to "ILL" wire. I have this setup and working very well, it adjust the screen brightness whenever headlight is turned on/off.

do you guys know how this auto brightness works or how it is triggered by ILL wire? Planning to use that as tasker event as well in relation to Emil's Android Auto Emulator (to set Day and Night mode). BTW, I would recommend that app for everyone who has atoto as it works very well.
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
Hi [MENTION=5653213]Paxie[/MENTION]. You seem to be getting some good response from Emil in the other thread. From my viewpoint, the ATOTO auto screen brightness works great, including when running Andrioid Auto via the Head Unit Reloaded emulator you mentioned. That is, the Andriod Auto screen dims nicely when I turn on the headlights. I dont have any details how ATOTO implements the ILL functionality.

Atoto a 6 pro bluetooth issue

Hello guys, i have a big problem with bluetooth dialer, when i say "ok google" voice command, work only for maps and apps but don't call, don't write messages...

I look for an apk that interface google and native dialer and i found tmc dialer...so this apk don't work on this atoto chipset version.

Have you fixed that? Calling someone with hands free is primary.

Thank you in advance
[Android Head-Units] Paxie:
Hi maurizyo85, I suggest you install headunit reloaded (Android Auto Emulator) by Emil for hands free voice calling. I have google assistant installed on Atoto A6 too but all it does is voice command to open apps or search/navigate. I even have the Atoto steering wheel control installed but it has simple functionality:

- media next/prev (does not even have a play/pause),

- end and answer button (but will no way to at least a function to re-dial previous call)

- volume up/down

- voice command button (I have it assigned triggers google assistant but no beep sound to determine that assistant is activated). Again, i have it useful for opening app like "play my private on <spotify>" or navigate to nearest gas station. I have it to work as well on my smart devices at home like "Turn on my living room lights". Again no voice command or hands free calls. Edit: Hands-free/Remote Mic Button call works as long as Atoto is not connected to internet, so either you give up internet on Atoto to gain voice call or access internet without it.

So I end up using Emil's Headunit reloaded to run Android Auto and it works fine with voice command:

- Call someone like "Ok google, call home"

- Smart device "Ok google turn on dining room"

- navigate "ok google navigate to nearest gas station"

So far that 3 above are the most frequently used for me so I end up with Android Auto.

Hope this helps.
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
I second [MENTION=9545840]Maurizyo85[/MENTION]'s suggestion about using Android Auto for hands free calling over bluetooth. The ATOTO A6 Pro is a good unit, but I think using Android Auto is a much better experience than using the ATOTO apps for hands free calling and music playback. I also use Emil's Head Unit Reloaded which works well. In addition to what was already listed, these are a few other of my regular driving commands:

"Ok google, Play [insert your favorite artist]"

"Ok Google, Send a text message to [insert your contact name]"

"OK Google, Set a reminder for [insert whatever and whenever]"

"OK Google, Listen to the news"
[Android Head-Units] lexeyd:
Yo, well I have 2 issues, first of all when I put in reverse music keep playing at same lvl. My old bs mms that was stock had lowering sound feature.

And my second problem is the quick charging idk why but it doesn't work for me, but I have a 2a cable, and when I try with charger at home it does a quick charging
[Android Head-Units] Maurizyo85:
Thank you for answering i install emil head unit reloaded but when i connect with usb cable or with wifi i have a blackscreen....after few seconds return to home screen...i suppose is a dpi resolution issue? Have you same problem?
[Android Head-Units] REDUTOPIAxda:
I don't understand without Android auto and the car dongle usb, is it possibile call with "ok google calls home"?
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
For controlling the music level in reverse, there is a setting for this, although on my A6 Pro this setting doesn't seem to have any effect. I know the reverse signal is connected properly from my car to the ATOTO because when I shift into reverse, the backup camera is activated.

For the quick charging, my phone (Pixel2) does not switch into fast charging mode even when connected to the fast charging ATOTO port. My phone does fast charge at home. Maybe the fast charge doesn't work on A6 Pro?
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
Nobody has an answer to me? :/
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
you can use prefixfixer from playstore. It worked for me with google contacts
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
I will try gonemadaudio.

For now I'm using Pulsar, is free and without any kind of commercial/sponsor. Nice and customizable app.
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
Using ExDialer with 00 prefix instead of + i can make call but when some call me atoto doesn't recognize the number because it has + instead of 00. However i have problems with contacts with exdialer because google contacts aren't shown and also bluetooth contact aren't stable (someone miss someone, other times it doesn't show anything). I read in official thread on xda that it is a common problem. I also tried to use drupe but it tell me "call not installed".
[Android Head-Units] brlowe:
Does anyone know if there is an app that will let me plug an iPod into one of the USB ports and let me control it from the A6 head unit?

A6 Pro 2721 PRB G Quick Charge died

Anyone else ever have the Quick Charge USB port stop working? I've had my unit since November.

I also have an intermittent back up camera not responding as well. Today it and quick Charge have not worked.
[Android Head-Units] merewood bebox:
sleep delay would be so good on this device
[Android Head-Units] Serfma:
So is it possible to use "Ok, Google" from any page on this head unit? I have the A6 Premium and I've been trying to figure out how to get a hands free experience without having to do anything with my phone. Am I going to have to use the Android Auto emulator?
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
Yes, you can but you can't make call with it. There is an other assistant called Hound working with telephone.
[Android Head-Units] saken.sf:
Hello :)

Regarding voice calls, you can actually set up Tasker + AutoVoice for custom dial. I can say for example 'Speed dial one' (or whatever you wish as long as it does not have the key word 'call') to call a number directly.

Configure the phrase you want AutoVoice to listen for, and then on Tasker catch that command and trigger a direct call to a number.

You can configure as many as you want with these 2 apps, I am only having trouble because for some reason the google assistant stops listening and I have no idea why, so I have to manually trigger it, which is annoying.
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
Does it work without root?
[Android Head-Units] saken.sf:
Yes :) I do not have root

Hi I want to purchase the a6 which model is best for golf mk6 2011. I would like the hand gesture.
[Android Head-Units] petris11:
Atoto a6, unfortunate, has little memory 3gb is little, does not go smooth

The gps is little, when today there are others, galileo more precise, glonass

It has android 6, today is outdated, many applications go wrong, radardroid does not start when approaching radar
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
Finally someone that tried to answer my question as well. So, is it really that bad? From all of the Android Head Units the A6 Pro was the one that caught my eye as a package. Is it that bad for navigation and that slow in general? Which one you recommend instead? I'm considering to buy one this month and I made some simple and basic questions about it but nobody gave a f@ck to answer them, weird since this is supposed to be a "noob friendly" topic :eek:
[Android Head-Units] petris11:
I have the ATOTO A6Y2721PRB-G and it has android 6, and 3gb of ram, it is very slow, today I would not buy it, to buy one that has 4gb of ram or more,

many app are optimized for android 7 or more and in atoto with android 6 do not run well, example radardroid widget, widget music folder player.

Yourself
[Android Head-Units] petris11:
Sorry with the translator ATOTO A6Y2721PRB-G be 2 GB
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
KUDOS

Thanks a ton man for your detailed feedback!

Also, what about heat. Is this an issue? I live in a country when in summer it gets pretty hot, is this an issue for the unit? About GPS performance, does it work well without an internet connection? (turn by turn instructions). And what do you think about its long term longevity?

Thank you!
[Android Head-Units] merewood bebox:
some of information in the post is wrong, maybe it wasnt updated or something. i'm going to go through the post and add my own input

>Left my car for a week and a bit with the head unit once and leave it for 5 days a time due to riding my bike to uni, battery hasnt died and my start stop always works (which usually only works if the battery has at least 50% charge). While it may use small current when the car is parked, after the week it did do a full startup which implies the battery drain prevention is working. May depend on the car and how the battery is protected

>dont have the gesture model but it didn't seem practical anyways like round2 says

>the radio does have AM. in the upper left region where it says FM, if you tap the word FM it will change to AM.

>not sure about the bluetooth comment. the manual describes how to set it up so read the manuel. Secondly its an android system not a custom made system. It has to follow the rules of audio playback. since functions are held within apps and not directly by the system, the bluetooth app cannot just play music cus youre connected. just like you have to use the aux app to allow aux music to play. this may not happen on newer versions of android but there we go but ugly but i have enjoyed it

> the eq suck as round2 said, and i dont use the RCA as i just wired it to the car directly so Round2 knows best on that
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
What about navigation performance without using an internet connection? Is it good enough in turn-by-turn instructions?

And also what about high heat in summer, can it cope with it?

Thanks again!
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
Thanks a lot guys once again for your feedback. After a lot of research, even without owning this unit yet, I conclude the same, that it's probably the best deal so far. Anybody contacted ATOTO whether they will launch a more improved model soon? I'm super interested to pick one, just wondering if I should wait a bit till they launch a newer one.
[Android Head-Units] tenchuuu:
There are no pre-loaded maps on this unit so turn by turn directions will not work without internet unless you find your own software/maps

I ran into heat issues with mine after 60-90 minutes of driving, I actually cooked the amplifier in the first unit I had and Atoto replaced the unit for me, so I modded it by adding heat syncs and fans
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
Every time I restart my unit (hooked up to a power supply right now as I am still getting audio components for the install) I get the 'Preparing SD Card: checking for errors' notification/icon

I have a 256gb card in there that I want to leave in permanently.

The notification does clear if I swipe it away but I'd rather it not show up every time.

I thought this would only happen on full shutdown but I get the notification back after disconnecting and connecting the ignition wire.
[Android Head-Units] saken.sf:
I have the same issue for more than a year with no real consequence, I have the dashboard camera recording to the card and never had issues, so that causes no problems :)
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
Glad to hear that it's not just me. The sd card is brand new but I started to wonder if I just got a bad one. I played around with it a lot last night. Like you, I was able to clear the notification and I could always access the drive without issue. The last thing I did was a factory reset and then formatted the sd card as internal. Not ideal for my preferences but I am not getting the notification anymore. :D
[Android Head-Units] HijoProdigo:
Yep. I only use mine offline with Google maps with downloaded maps. I've also got maps.me loaded as a backup, but Google maps works perfectly. I do miss the traffic info, but as long as I get my route at home when I have WiFi, I'm good.
[Android Head-Units] comptechltd:
I have both downloaded maps and used the data over Bluetooth function to keep traffic updates and it works great using Google maps although it is a little slow when starting up.

Firmware Update AICE 9.3 Version (not the latest version) & User Manuel for DAB+ Box

Post by Atoto 2018-04-18 12:12:29 2822

New A6 firmware update for current inventory & previous sold products is available.It has included improvements on certain bugs, and the most important change is about built-in Radio app prompting without being opened manually in certain cases, which had been reported as one of the most concerned issues. Now it has been completely fixed!

Some known bugs this firmware has fixed as follows (not all are listed):

live wallpaper applied after change can not be saved;

Radio app prompts out unexpected when users restart the A6, or radio app starts to run when audio from third party app stops

Adapted to working with new released ATOTO Dab+ receiver firmware. Only Buyers from EU may need to buy additional ATOTO Dab+ receiver and download ATOTO Dab+ Player app.

Touchscreen firmware has been optimized;

improper alert prompts when USB 3G Dongle is inserted;

Newer EasyConnect app is included;

Others;

The new firmware displays as "ATOTO AICE OS 9.3 2018-04-02" (only for A6 premium models, please contact Customer Support to get the latest system version) from Build Number option in system settings. Due to special reasons, we did not use OTA online firmware update this time. Users are required to contact ATOTO online support team for updating instruction (Download link and operation guide), in order to avoid update failure;
