I didn't know this, and it was useful, can you tell me how can I make it so I can quickly reactivate it once the key is removed?

My question however is how do I make the default assistant instead of google asistant? and how can I start it?

Sorry I don't know the shortcut to restart that particular service, but you can use tasker or Macrodroid to start up services with a button click or other trigger. You'll have to do some research on Google to find out the command for your app.

I use a trigger on Bluetooth connection to start up accessibility services after the Atoto kindly kills them all on key out.

You can go full screen, called immersive mode, via tasker. Or even better is to use a laptop and ADB commands. The below example forces Chrome to always run full screen for example. You can even do this with the default launcher if you like so the Navigation and/or status bar are hidden.

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.full=com.android.chrome

Atoto AC-CPAA48 dongle with ATOTO A6 PRO

Hello to all,

I have been installing the Atoto A6 Pro for some months now and I feel really good about it.

In order to use Android Auto I purchased the AC-CPAA48 dongle from Amazon, but I have a big problem:

the phone battery (OnePlus 3T), instead of charging, runs out very quickly. I also tried using the original USB cable without having better results.

If any of you have the AC-CPAA48 dongle can you tell me if the phone battery is charging?

Thanks.

Car Stereo Shopping Suggestions please

I'm currently shopping for a car stereo, and this is one I'm looking into, anybody have some comments as to another better or suggested.

or

https://www.amazon.com/ATOTO-Android-Navigation-Stereo-Bluetooth/dp/B07CMV84L2/?th=1

How is the RCA output on these for high output voltage and sound quality signal strength?

I've thought about the SPDIF models but not sure what exact equipment to connect my amps?

One feature I can't find anywhere is Wireless Android Auto, anybody know of an Android OS unit with that, possible I don't need it, what features would it add?

would you help me start autovoice and autonotification at startup? in addition with tasker I did not understand how to enable full screen

[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Create a tasker task of type "custom setting". Type "secure". Name whatever you like. Value is:

com.joaomgcd.autoinput/com.joaomgcd.autoinput.service.ServiceAccessibility

This code starts up the Autoinput app accessibility service. Adjust this code to the service of the app you want to fire up.

Then add the tasker task to something that you can control, export it as an app for example and then add the app to your home screen.

For immersive modes, search the tasker tasks for immersive, it's on the list and pretty self explanatory.

Hi, I bought an Atoto A6 Pro (without gestures because I grew up in an Italian household :laugh:) this summer and plan on getting it installed soon (once my car's braking system is fixed after I killed it avoiding a crash :rolleyes:). The award-winning installer said I bought the wrong steering wheel kit, that they have a newer one than the one mentioned here and in Amazon reviews, and that the new one programs correctly on these lesser-known models. The only new one I saw on the manufacturer's site was the waterproof version of the same one - is this the correct one to buy for a 2005 Cadillac Escalade? Has anyone here used the new one yet? I will have to sell the other one on eBay since I'm past the Amazon return period, but since the newer one is more expensive (cheaper on sites other than the manufacturer's site), I need to make sure it is the right one before buying it!

I will basically be using the A6 for Google Maps (via Bluetooth tethering to my phone - already have Blue Car Tethering installed on my phone for automatic tethering mode every time it connects to the specific Bluetooth device [works great with my iPad, too]) and for playing music off my phone. I am confused as to the current situation with using phone calls with the A6? Texting via voice? Syncing contacts correctly? If someone could enlighten me, that would be great, though it isn't a priority for my use, so isn't a deal-breaker if it doesn't work well.

I also bought the Atoto backup camera and the installer was glad to see it wasn't illegal because apparently most are because they block the license plate. I understand there's a setting to turn off the redundant guidelines, which I will do.

I plan on using the homescreen from Google Play that is the cool oval with the option for my music player app in the middle of it (I forget the app's name 'cause I tried a bunch on my phone). I use Rocket Player (paid version) on my phone; anyone have experience using it on the A6?

Does anyone use the PIN security to keep the screen locked in case of theft or valet use? If so, is it annoying to enter a PIN every time?

Any other recommendations for the A6 or things a newbie should know? Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] BarryR1:
For some cars (like my Miata) you don't need any steering wheel kit. I don't know about other cars. If I remember correctly you don't need a kit if you're steering wheel has "resistive controls" but I may be wrong.

RE: PIN - I set mine up but really never use it. Unless you have email or something else that's private/sensitive why bother?

I doubt there's much of a market for stolen Atotos and even if there is, a security code won't bring it back to you if it's stolen.
[Android Head-Units] cla_laguerra:
Ma come fai a fare il tethering Bluetooth con Atoto A6 Pro? Ho provato anche io con l'applicazione che hai citato ma si connette normalmente e sul mio telefono non compare l'icona del tethering!
[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
My car needs the steering wheel kit.

I was thinking the PIN more for valet use and if someone took the car (not just the stereo). My Google acc't will be connected to it, and possibly also e-mail or other acc'ts depending on how I choose to use it once it is installed.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

I haven't used it with an Atoto yet since I don't have the Atoto installed (finally got my car back from the mechanic yesterday, two weeks after wrecking my breaking system avoiding a crash), so I don't know if there is something else you need to do on the Atoto side to get it to work. But, for the Blue Car Tethering app, all you need to do is set it up first: open the app, turn on Bluetooth, and for every saved Bluetooth paired device that you want to use tethering with, put a checkmark in the box to the right of it. After that, every time you connect to the selected connections, your phone will automatically (and instantly, in my experience) connect in tethering mode (and you won't need to open the Blue Car Tethering app for it to happen as it runs in the background). :good:

P.S. I don't know much Italian, unfortunately. My parents are first and second generation and spoke Italian at home a lot growing up (it was my dad's first language), but didn't teach it to my brother and I.

Can anyone tell me who has the Atoto steering wheel control gadget. Does the left and right buttons cycle through your radio stations even if the radio app is not on screen? For example if the radio is playing but I am using Google maps on screen will the buttons still go through the stations?

New Metra 70-7052 Steering Wheel Control wiring harness.

Hello,

New Atoto A6 Pro, and want to install it on my 2012 Subaru outback 2.5i Premium without navigation and also without harman kardon. For the Metra radio harness i got this : Metra 70-7552 , the VSS and SWC pins are already include on the harness ( Is a upgrade version ).

Because the signal of my Car steering wheel control is resistive I don't need any SWC kit .

Now my concern is how can I do the steering wheel control wiring between, Metra 70-7552 and A6Y1021PR Power Harness

Thank you !

[Android Head-Units] nimbus22:
I have a 2014 outback and did the same swc wiring a few months ago. I didn't have the upgraded harness. So I'm guessing the pinouts of the metra harness. In any case all the wires of the metra should be labeled

You want to connect

- swc1 (pin 4 ?) of the metra to steering wheel + (pin 2) of the atoto harness

- swc2 (pin 13 ?) of the metra to steering wheel# + (pin 12) of the atoto harness

I just installed the 10.1 inch pro model in my trailblazer, movement isn't motorized but even on the horrible roads here it hasnt budged by any bumps yet. Trying to get the amp issue sorted at moment, have a feeling it's related to the low power output of the remote wire but haven't confirmed yet
[Android Head-Units] nimbus22:
I don't have the swc gadget. However, I'm able to cycle through the radio stations when maps (or other apps) is displayed
[Android Head-Units] HijoProdigo:
Quick question. Got my Atoto A6 installed, worked perfectly. Then had to repair A/C, dash out, etc. Afterwards, the GPS signal is constantly off by about a block. On country roads not a problem, but driving me crazy in town. It's not like the GPS can't get a lock, but rather drops signal. Restarted, diagnosed, etc. Think a wire/connector could be the cause?

anyone know how to fix atoto a6 autobrightnesss? i want it to work with the time? but doesnt do anything ?
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
If you have a smartphone connected with bt it works if google assistant work on smartphone. When you click on the mic button doesn't appear nothing on atoto screen. If smartphone is unlocked you can see that appear the assistant, if smartphone is locked you only view a notification of google assistant, now you can speek to smartphone's assistant through atoto mic.

It isn't intuitive this function, but that is how it works on my OnePlus 6 with android 10.
[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
I still haven't gotten my Atoto installed yet. Are you saying that it can now make hands-free calls without additional apps like Android Auto? If so, can it read and send texts, too?

The unlocked thing isn't an issue for me as I would have my phone set to stay unlocked whenever it is connected to the Atoto Bluetooth (like I do with my current Bluetooth-to-FM adapter setup).
[Android Head-Units] ansan95:
Yes you can use smartphone's google assistant through atoto mic. You can use the icon on the screen or you can map this function on a steering wheel control.

For unlocked i mean unlocked and with display on (on home screen, not lockscreen). But it still work with smartphone completely locked, the only "problem" is that you can't see nothing or ear nothing, you have to trust that the assistant is on. An other thing that i don't like is that you need to speak louder because atoto doesn't stop any music/radio.
[Android Head-Units] IplugNplay:
Would be nice if there was a way to have the headunit radio play while android auto is active, and when android auto is making noise lower the radio volume.

Instead as soon as you connect android auto the whole headunit changes to a dumb display.

Reason I use android auto is because I can use my own language, and google maps doesn't murder street names :D

If anyone figures something out to help in this situation, would be sweet.

ps. yesterday I removed a radio station from my favorites list, which I thought was not possible.

I'm trying to connect to my Atoto A6 via ADB over USB but not having any luck. I've enabled Developer Options and USB Debugging and installed the Mediatek VCOM drivers, but nothing happens when I connect my laptop to the A6 with a male-to-male USB cable. Nothing shows up in Windows Device Manager, and when I try type "adb shell" in a command window, I get an error saying no devices were found.

Is there something else I need to do?

Does it matter which USB port I use on the back of the unit?
[Android Head-Units] merewood bebox:
is there a way to increase mic volume?
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Yes it does. I only get the USB connected sound when I plug it into the right port. Not sure which one it is, I have an extension from the rear to my dashboard. But I have adb access no problem on my A6.

[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
Thanks for your reply! That sucks that it doesn't turn on the screen or you can't hear anything, but even more so that it doesn't stop the music! I do have a button on the steering wheel that is for voice command, so I can map it to that.
[Android Head-Units] benjmiester:
Hey guys, long time XDA-er but pretty new to the Android head unit scene. So I bought an A6 (A6Y2710SB) and everything is mostly ok on it. I have one huge problem though. I can't get it to play music from either SD card (a 64gb Sandisk which I've tried as internal storage/external/Fat32/NTFS/ExFat) or my USB stick (Also a Sandisk 64 gb tried Fat32/ExFat/NTFS) on anything but the stock music app with only USB that I'm really not the biggest fan of. I've tried about half a dozen music player apps off the play store, tried Google Play Music which is my preferred app and I also tried PowerAmp. None will find any music at all except the stock app that it comes with.

The oddest thing is the card and usb work perfectly fine, I can see music and folders in the file browser app on the head unit, can see them on my PC and the music plays fine in the stock music app via USB only though and it takes a long time to scan my USB. I'm told the delay is just par for the course there.

I had read that Power Amp works so I tried that. Absolutely infuriatingly... it can see the sd card and usb drive in it's settings. I can enable the folders and run both quick and full scan but nothing. Says "nothing here". Same with play music, just shows I have no music. I've tried force closing the apps and clearing caches etc. Tried rebooting the head unit though I haven't tried a factory reset. This is driving me insane, SD card music is Android base level functionality and I don't understand why this is such an issue.

Any ideas?
[Android Head-Units] nimbus22:
I have music on an SD card and am able to play the music with a number of different music players. Currently using Pulsar music player. There is a "scan" function in the player where it automatically looks for music in all your folders.

Been a while since I set this up but I don't recall needing to do anything that was not intuitive.

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Try "head unit reloaded" from the play store. The app costs $5 but there is a trial version to make sure it works for your purposes. Sometimes the app hangs but it works pretty good for the most part.

I use it and am able to use android auto and play the radio on the head unit at the same time.
[Android Head-Units] benjmiester:
Sadly I have tried the scan options as well. At least the ones in PowerAmp. I'm not aware of any others besides the built in app that works and does that automatically. In PowerAmp, they finish suspiciously fast and still no files/artists available in any music app but the stock one. I noticed today while trying to run the latest firmware update that it fails and gives me some failure to write to system error or something along those lines and says try again. I put it on both the SD card and USB stick and I get the same error. Update.zip un-extracted. There must be some block on the external storages on mine. Power amp is able to see the drives in folder select, and can even see all of the album folders... but refuses to add them as playable music. All just regular MP3s and a few Flacs.

Given that the music issue and update issues apply to both my SD card and USB I think they might be related. I tried enabling "storage" for every single app including the hidden system apps in the permissions section but still no go. I might have to send it back but it really doesn't seem like a hardware issue. I can view the music on the drives in the file browser, and they play fine on the built-in music app but absolutely nothing else. I'm going to try one thing tomorrow which is putting the music into a music folder on the drives. It did occur to me that they are all just individual folders per album or ep etc on in the root directory. Maybe it needs them to be inside a main music folder. Just throwing darts at the wall at this point.
[Android Head-Units] nimbus22:
The fact you can't run the update seems to point to a larger problem. I would try to get this fixed first. I believe there is a way to do a factory reset. Also you can reach out to Atoto support. They can be hit or miss but will usually get back to you within 24 hours.

FWIW, my music is in different folders on an SD card. I did not need to put them into the main music folder on the Atoto.
[Android Head-Units] luisfer77:
Hello, does this ATOTO 6 PRO fits on a 2011 Dodge Dakota?
[Android Head-Units] Titan Edge:
I have a similar issue to benjmiester. I can read from the SD card in the file browser and CX3. Music will play with the default app. However, if I try any other music programs, they don't find any music.

Another weird issue is that I can't browse the main storage with either the included file browser or CX3. Both say error or access denied. I see nowhere to enable permissions unless the app asks for it and neither does.

I noticed that regardless of how I format my SD card, it will never be seen as SD card. The unit will always say SD card not plugged in.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
[Android Head-Units] benjmiester:
Wow that's slightly worse than my problem. I can't play anything or run the update zip but I am able to see my files in file browser and it does recognize that I have an SD card and/or USB stick plugged in. I tried them formatted as external and internal in the past but nope. For the permissions I just went to settings > apps > app permission and then hit the settings icon at top right and clicked show all or include system apps (can't remember the exact wording). Then I went to 'storage' and just enabled everything. It didn't fix my problem, but might help yours. I'm going to do a full factory data reset and see how that works for my issues.

Stereo installed yesterday, update firmware to latest?

Hi,

I just had the ATOTO A6 Pro A6Y2721PRB installed yesterday and I see there are new updates. I have downloaded both the OS and MCU files to a micro sd. The firmware currently installed is from April of this year.

Question: Does it matter which file is installed first, OS or MCU?

It took me a while to realize that the MCU file has to be installed as well.

I think the instructions are a little vague there. They mention the MCU file but the screen shots only show the ARMS file.

There is a way to get into a hidden settings screen on the ATOTO & adjust the mic volume.

I did it but don't have the info. I think it's somewhere in this thread but maybe you can find it by googling.
