Here's one question of the thousand or so I have:

I have an ATOTO A6 PF (model A6G2A7PF). I'm trying to use Road Recorder 4.3.2 to record my rear view camera but it doesn't seem to write the video files. Below is an example of what's being written:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 colonel staff 0B May 9 15:21 video_15-21.mp4
-rwxrwxrwx 1 colonel staff 11K May 9 15:23 video_15-21.srt
-rwxrwxrwx 1 colonel staff 17K May 9 15:23 video_15-21.xml
-rwxrwxrwx 1 colonel staff 0B May 9 15:23 video_15-23.mp4
-rwxrwxrwx 1 colonel staff 0B May 9 15:24 video_15-23.srt
-rwxrwxrwx@ 1 colonel staff 13K May 9 15:24 video_15-23.xml

You can see that it's writing XML and SRT files fine but the video files are 0 bytes. To the best of my knowledge, Road Recorder has full privileges. What should I be looking at to fix this issue?

Hello guys, I have 1 major issue with this unit (Atoto A6 Pro). I use spotify on my phone, but in the car, i prefer to have it directly installed on the unit, and not streaming in it by the bt on the phone. With the "free" spotify from the play store i have just no problems, the app installs fine and works just fine. But i can't get to work any of the "mod free apk" i find on the web i even verified the system architecture with the various app. But every single time i try to install one of that mod apk i always have the same result, app not installed and i can't get to know why. I have just removed and cleared the cache of the apps but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have some ideas? Thanks

I just got an ATOTO A6 Performance last week. I updated it to the most recent version of Android. That being said...

I bought this basically ONLY to watch Amazon Prime Video, HBOmax, Hulu, Disney+, and YouTubeTV. Amazon Prime Video works fine. Disney+ and Hulu both say that the app is not compatible with the Android version. YouTubeTV will load the app, show the selection screens and line-ups, but when you click play it never completes loading. This same thing happened when I used the web browser to login to Hulu and Disney+. It just spins the wait wheel endlessly. HBOmax will show the subtitles as the show or movie plays, but no video or sound. I tried casting with an iPad and an error saying something about the video being unplayable kept popping up. I contacted CS, and they told me to live with it like this or send it back. Is there a fix for any of this? I don't really know much about Android operating systems, do they use Codecs?

I've attached pics of the About device screen.
[Android Head-Units] WildWest66:
I would recommend requesting Atoto support send you the factory OS that it was shipped with. Try reverting back to it and see if it fixes your issue.
[Android Head-Units] WildWest66:
Does anybody know what the Atoto A6 PF model A6G2A7PF exact screen size in MM is by length and width? I purchased a screen protector from Boxwave that is a little to long (width fits perfectly). I want to give them the exact measurements so they can update their design.

BTW, since Atoto discontinued their screen protectors Boxwave has them for several models now.

Just got an A6 the other day great unit, but I have a really weird issue, pressing the volume up button (+) on the actual head unit, makes the google assistant come up, I have not set any special instructions to do this, as I tried factory reset as well, also tried uninstalling assistant app and same thing happens, anyone know why?

Can someone please tell me how to turn on omri on my android 10 head unit on dab z please? Can’t find it anywhere and have looked in settings and still can’t find? Thanx
[Android Head-Units] IINamelessII:
Hi, how to set a setting to be enabled by default (on launching the car)? For example, how to set subuffer to be enabled by default and don't go to settings - sound - subuffer on any launch?

subwoofer* XD
[Android Head-Units] Quiche2192:
I have a 6PF and I've noticed that the button backlights do not illuminate automatically when cycling power on the unit. I have to keep going into the settings and toggle the panel illumination setting every time. Any solutions to this? I have a video showing the issue:
[Android Head-Units] Speedy_Gonzalez:
In your video I don't see any cycling power on the video using vehicle ignition.

By default the back panel lights will illuminate only when the car lights(Parking/Headlight) turned ON provided of you have connected the "Illumination" cable correctly. Hope helps!
[Android Head-Units] Quiche2192:
Yeah I just used the power button. I do not have the illumination cable connected. I expected that if the panel illumination setting is set to on in the settings menu as seen in the video, it will stay on regardless of the illumination cable or vehicle ignition state. But I'll connect it and see what happens. Thanks
[Android Head-Units] jrubins:
Hi all, I have two issues with my new Atoto head unit (A6 performance, but AFAICT it's the same as the "Pro" in these issues)

issue 1:

What I'd like to do is run an app called Harry's Lap Timer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.harrys.laptimerpro&hl=en_US&gl=US

This app enables an android device to use the camera to record video, and it overlays data from OBD2, as well as GPS, and internal sensors. It's a very powerful tool for track driving. I've What it can't do on the Atoto head unit is connect to the camera to record.

I have tried connecting the front (usb camera): no video

I've tried connecting the rear (backup camera): no video

i've tried connecting the backup camera to the "front camera" video input: nothing

I've tried connecting the backup camera to the "aux video" input and nothing.

I've also tried Trackaddict which is a different app with similar functionality

So my question is: is there a way to enable Harry's Lap timer to access the camera devices so it can record video? If I need to remove the USB camera and use a video camera like the backup camera, that's no problem. Ideally, I'd like it to record using that HD USB camera and the 128gb card in that camera.

Issue 2:

I'd like to have the crossover frequency in the eq settings go from 20hz-20khz for both the low pass and high pass filters so I can properly crossover electronically from woofers to tweeters. I'm using the rear channels to drive my tweeters and the front channels to drive my woofers. The current range of adjustment isn't as much as I'd like for the low pass or high pass filters. Is there some hidden settings to get more full control of the DSP?

Thanks,

jrubins
[Android Head-Units] Speedy_Gonzalez:
About Q1: let's talk about the type of camera and port you are connecting to.

Is that camera is a USB plug and play type or analog signaled RCA connector type?

Second, are you trying to connect that camera to back up camera connector (RCA reverse camera port) or to a auxiliary (External Input RCA) connector?
[Android Head-Units] jrubins:
I'm using this USB camera https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0822KMK48/r which has a built-in micro SD card. this works fine with the native hd-dvr app, but not with Harry's Lap timer

And this backup camera which uses RCA ATOTO AC-HD01LR (from this package https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09PDL2JM2 )

Since the backup camera is RCA type, I can connect it to the backup camera input, works with native app, not with Harry's Lap Timer (HLT) or trackaddict.

I've tried plugging the backup camera into the front camera rca input, which also works with the native "fcam" app but not with HLT

And I've tried plugging into the auxiliary video input, which also works with the native video input app, but not visible in HLT.

So the cameras all work just fine, it's definitely some kind of software thing.

Thanks!

Has anyone tried rooting the A6 PF (A6G2A7PF) yet? I've been trying to source some stuff but I have to wait on a new USB A - USB A cable to come in from Amazon before I can try anything. I've been looking at the various threads on here regarding the S8 and the S8 Ultra, keeping notes here and there. Just wanted to see if anyone else had taken the initiative.
[Android Head-Units] Raiden11X:
Nevermind, I figured it out. I posted a guide here.
[Android Head-Units] Raiden11X:
Note: If anyone has a back up of their A6PF, that would be great! I messed up a Magisk module installation and now I'm stuck in fastboot :/
[Android Head-Units] Speedy_Gonzalez:
How can I help you.? I haven't done back up yet. But if you guide,I will try to help you.
[Android Head-Units] Raiden11X:
Did you get root working already?
[Android Head-Units] Speedy_Gonzalez:
No
[Android Head-Units] Raiden11X:
I posted a guide here if you want to try getting root. The root process worked. I just messed up installing a magisk module.
[Android Head-Units] Flash1993:
Is there a root guide for the Atoto A6 Pro with buttons (A6Y2721PRB-G ) ?
[Android Head-Units] Raiden11X:
Ended up fixing the issue! Read here if you want to see how.

Basically the unit knows to read the firmware at boot if provided. You can trigger a restart via the reset button if it doesn't work right away. If you are dumb like me and you flashed a not-so-good recovery.img, you can signal a crash to the kernel by holding 'ALT+PRINTSCREEN' and repeatedly tapping 'C' on a USB keyboard you can hook up to the "External Storage" USB, which will force it into the buggy fastboot mode where you can flash the original recovery.img. Then, unplug your USB Keyboard, plug in your flash drive with your modded stuff on it, boot to the bootloader via fastboot reboot bootloader and, if your USB stick is inserted, the system should recognize it and immediately start the firmware install. WOO!
[Android Head-Units] Raiden11X:
You should be able to do the same thing as long as you get your correct firmware from the website. The only difference is if your unit uses an SD Card vs a flash drive. Other than that, it should be exactly the same

I am having a similar issue but my Illumination cable is connected properly...it's on a 2008 VW Jetta; is there some kind of extra connection I need to make? Alternatively, is there a way to just force the lights to be on permanently?
[Android Head-Units] Speedy_Gonzalez:
If you are connected the Illumination wire correctly then as I said the panel lights will illuminate only when the you turn the Head/Step Lights ON. Alternatively you force the panel lights to permanently keep illuminating then you can go to Settings>Factory settings> here_enter_the_password_8888, click OK

Now go to "KeyLightSettings" and the system will popup "please open the debug button lamp lights!!" dialogue with only OK option. Click OK.

Now scroll down and you will see "Open Light" check box.

Tik that check box then click back button.

Now system will ask you to save the settings.

Click OK.

That's all now the lights will illuminate permanently on your system .
[Android Head-Units] Speedy_Gonzalez:
Look at my previous☝️ post.
[Android Head-Units] silverhawk79:
And this method will work with an A6 Performance model? Wasn't able to find a specific thread for that model, but the one in your picture does look a bit different.
[Android Head-Units] Speedy_Gonzalez:
I just snapped the picture but I have same A6 PF model and I did the same to just test in the past. Procedure is same (Edited AS->A6)
[Android Head-Units] silverhawk79:
Wasn't able to get that working, I shot a quick video showing what I'm able to pull up.

I just got a car that has a Atoto A6 installed. Been looking over this thread.

Over all first thoughts are AWESOME display, nice sound QH! Butt... SLOW SLOW SLOW! come on ATOTO Like an S3 was faster.

Any how have you thought about a timer switch https://www.amazon.com/12-volt-timer-switch/s?k=12+volt+timer+switch
[Android Head-Units] zman519:
I have a ATOTO A6Y2710SB and i plugged in a (it came from a server's hot spare) enterprise grade SanDisk 512GB SSD into the back USB port via a Startech USB 3 to SATA adapter. (I have tired many SSDs and it always seems the same) Now this particular USB 3 to Sata is old and has been kinda funky at times. I have another Startech thats always worked flawlessly and i have a band new one setting next to me that will get swapped in, next time i pull the headunit out of the dash.

Any one have issues or advice with a SSD SATA over USB on an A6 ?

I used both Startech USB 3 to SATA adapters when i first pulled it out of the dash and was testing different SSD. So i don't really feel it's the adapter.

Sometimes OsmAnd+ says it cant find it's data. That can be resolved by killing the app and reopening it. (very annoying, but have a work around)

The only media audio player that can find the music on the USB SSD is the crappy default app. I have over 50GB 7000 plus tracks and any time i open it it's always searching for update (says something like that.)

Things i have tried

Ext4 formatted =NoGo (maybe ive been using CynagenMod and LOS for so long but i thought all androids R/W to Ext4 partitions )

NTFS =NoGo

Format to Fat32 via Linux = NoGo

Tried a 1.92TB intel server SSD = supper supper dupper slow!

FatEX =NoGo

My first thought was root it and use symlinks. Well they don't work on FAT 32 and the dumb thing dose not R/W or read Ext4.

I have thought about buying a 128 or 256 SD card, but at this point i feel like that might be a waist of money.

d'où cela peut-il provenir?

Hello all. So nice to find a forum about the atoto 6PF. I bought a new Atoto 6 PF and connected it to my car via the ISO plugs. I drive a Saab 95 2004. The car had an old after market radio that played well,..., but did not have extra functions. After a while i bought a new radio that had some extra functions. i connected the Iso plugs and it played ok. After i saw the Atoto i instantly wanted to have that one. I connected it, found the carplay, internet bluetooth, everything worked instantly exept THE SOUND. no sound what soever, no beeps, no radio, nothing via bluetooth. The speakers seem to be dead. To be very sure i did not damage anything i reconnected the "old radio". played fine. I had some nice contact with the support of Atoto, but they don't seem to have the golden tip how i can connect the radio to make some sound. No extra amps or anything are fitted in the car, just a standard Iso plug. Are there any golden tips here what to do ?? i would hate to send the unit back,.... at the moment it feels like a DOA. Thanx in advance

Fred

Hi there! I've an Atoto A6 A6YVW710PB and I was wondering if there is a way to delete the contacts from the HU. On my phone I tried to switch to an account with no contacts saved , then connected the phone to the HU and, at last, reload contacts on HU (swiping downward on the contacts app of HU), but nothing happened. All the contacts already saved, stayed still there.

Any advice?

Thanks

Hi,

My Atoto which I have just purchased/installed says it's a an A6 Performance, is this the same as the Pro version and suitable to ask a question in this thread?.

If so, I have installed and can get no sound output. I am connecting to an external amplifier which is stock/standard on my Jeep.

I have read somewhere, but can't find it again, that there is a setting to turn on the external amp in Android. Can anyone tell me where this on/off setting is please?

Thank you.

Good day,

I have a generic-ish Android head unit in a Toyota with a canbus adapter. When I adjust the climate control, fan, temp, whatever, the Android head unit's display goes from navigation or whatever to a screen that reports the settings of the climate control for a few seconds, then it goes back to whatever was on before. Does the A6 do that as well?
[Android Head-Units] Royce1969:
To sort your MP3 collection to use with the default MP3 player, use

\%artist%\%album%\%disc%%track%%title%

That is the string I used in TagScanner to rename the files

No spaces or dashes...if you name your files in this manner, they play in order. AND the display is just the song title, not the screwy filename. If you put spaces or dashes in the filename, that gets stripped when the thing sorts the media. I had to throw "disc" in there because I have some multi-disc rips where that is important to not have five different 01"Title" in the same listing

I had hoped the system updates would have fixed the default player, but no dice. It is a terrible MP3 player app, but it starts right up and plays music as soon as possible, like the radio function... Other MP3 player apps, you do not get immediate playback.

I am waiting for my copy to finalize, but I am going to try this from the SD card. I may need to copy the files to internal storage for the immediate playback. My testing just got the files in order so far. Then I had to do that to my collection and output to the SD card... 5000items remaining....
[Android Head-Units] Royce1969:
You will lose that functionality. My Subaru has this tiny screen that does those functions and has the backup cam. I was able to get the backup cam to work. All the other stuff won't work. That is all proprietary to your Toyota.

With my stock head unit, I could see audio controls on my little screen as well, but when the stock receiver was no longer there, neither were those options.

If your car integrates a lot of car features into your stock head unit, you may be better off keeping it.
[Android Head-Units] eeyan:
Thank you, that's unfortunate but good to know. I guess I'll keep the original stuff and add a secondary unit. Have a great day!

Hi Guys, i need your help.

My ATOTO A6 PRO are locked on homescreen.

I can up and down the sound but i can't launch app or menu.

I push the reset button but it just restart.

My iphone are detected but i can use apps.

Do you have an solution for HARD RESET or unlock ?

Thanks for yout help
[Android Head-Units] Royce1969:
The pinhole reset button should bring you all the way back to the full Android boot. You should see the 4 balls doing their thing...

If you hit the pinhole reset and it just comes up to the blank screen when it finishes booting, you probably need to reload the current firmware image.

If you could bring up settings from the drop menu, you could do the factory reset from there and start from scratch.

If you insert an SD card with the latest firmware image, it should just pop up and ask you to update the firmware as soon as it recognizes and loads the SD card.

Otherwise, you would need to get into the downloader mode of Android, and I don't know how to do that part with Atoto.

Every black screen screwy behavior I have seen has been corrected with the pinhole reset button, on my stereo at least. But I did do the firmware update as they instruct on the download page, and it just came up and worked. My head unit is much better with 9.7 firmware vs. 9.4
[Android Head-Units] creampuff99:
I have an A6 Pro with stock firmware. I attempted to install a Hieha wireless Android auto dongle that works perfectly in my Mopar car with stock Uconnect display. It does not work with ATOTO. I then attempted to launch AA via ATOTO supplied USB connection and that also doesn't work. I read that ATOTO did not license AA which needs to be sideloaded by using an Emil's Android Auto emulator or requires a special dongle from ATOTO. Threads on this forum also suggest that it is necessary to install a tasker app to detect USB connection and launch AA. Has anyone been able to successfully launch AA wirelessly with any of these methods on vehicle entry (phone pairing on vehicle startup) without physically connecting to USB or manually launching apps? (e.g. ability to leave the phone in your pocket and it just works). Has anyone used Open Auto which appears to be a newer release but may not support proprietary features such as the steering wheel control?

Hello. I'm hooking up an A6 pf to a 2017 Kia Sportage. I believe I have the correct wiring harness: a Metra 70-7306. I'm not really concerned about the steering wheel controls since I never use them anyways. I would, however, like to keep the factory backup camera.

The Harness says that the Kia camera needs 6 volts. What does the Atoto put out? Do I need a 12 to 6 volt adapter (a Metra AX-CAM6V, I believe). Thanks in advance for your help!
[Android Head-Units] Speedy_Gonzalez:
Yes, AA works good. To answer one of your question, AA auto launch setting available on both Atoto as well as on Android Mobiles whenever there is Bluetooth connection with AA availability.

Second, if you turn off your car ignition while you were using AA/CP then it will come back to the same screen when you turn on the ignition again, meaning it saves system state. Hope that helps.
