[Android Head-Units] round2:
Here are the things that suck about this unit which just makes me so depressed becuase it had so much potential.

>The subwoofer has 2 settings. Manual and auto. In auto the sub volume increases and decreases as the main volume changes. In manual mode the subwoofer has a volume level you change, however this volume level stays teh same and does not ever change. So when you tuen the volume down on the main buttons, the subwoofer is still loud. Its stupid. Also the subwoofer crossover is a stupid 200hz which is useless. Therefore I stay in auto mode and use the amplifiers x-over.

>the 4 channels of rca out puts do not haev any crossovers. They all play at full bandwidth all the time which is ok if you dont mind all your speakers playing everything, but not good at all when you want to have a proper system that plays only highpass frequencies to the 4 channels. This is stupid. very stupid. You will have to use yoru amplifier x-over.

>the many eq settings are not useful. You can adjust them, however, if you happen to close the eq app, the sound goes back to the default eq setting and your labor for changing the sound is gone. You can not make your own eq setting and make it stay in the setup for ever. It will dissapear when the unit is off or when the eq app is closed or even sometimes when you change from, fm radio to bluetooth.. This is stupid. Very stupid. USeless.

>It took me all day just to learn that you have to click on the BT icon to use that feature. Its not anything like going into settings then pairing and then you can hear BT device. You have to pair, THEN when you want to hear that device you have to click on that BT app. This is nto so bad however is very painful to figure out at first.

>No AM. Just FM.

>The music app is rather stupid. Instead of going back into the folder when pressing th back button, it closes. You have to click on the left portion of that music app when it is open and this is where you will choose a specific spot on the left to go back to the list of music. Its rather confusing. Hard to explain to be honest and the app does not show how many files are in the folder. It just says zero when i know there are many songs in the folder. this is a dumb music app.

>Good luck using the gesture. You will be changing stations, music tracks and all sorts of things when you are simple trying to shift gears on your vehichle or changing the ac settings. It will pick up any movement as if you are telling it to do thinsg .. and youre not. Its dumb.

>never really turns off. After a few days it will drain yoru battery.

A couple of good things about the unit

>The internal amp is good. Powerful.

>The preamp section , when using the rca outputs seems pretty clean and of good quality, better than a Pioneer 80prs.

> nice screen

> connect to BT device for audio while also connecting to your cellphone in hotspot tether via wifi to use maps and apps on the aoto... forexample, use google maps on atoto while lsitening to podcast or music on your phone through bluetooth...

>Has aptx on BT which sounds as good as wire aux input.

>can install lots of google apps like for example podcast apps

>Plays just about every sort of video and audio file. No more messing with bull**** cd and dvd's. Play your downloaded movies! and it has no break light bull**** requirements.

>Fm radio is good. catches allot of stations. app is nice. eay to use.

>has both sd and usb reader. Dont bother with the gesture model. just get the pro without the gesture and get the usb port where the gesture mechanism is. Your good to go..

>overal decent android unit... Im sure in the next years the technology will greatly advance and take over...

Atoto has really good customer support. They respond quick and seem really honest and good people.

I just hope they get it together and start incorporating 18 to 24db crossovers on all speaker outputs including the powered speaker outputs. That would be so great OMG Id never look at any other brand or unit again if they did this. To be honest its is a normal for high end and even allot of mid -fi models to have crossovers... Fix the subwoofer volume. Geez that was a major fail .. So I just use the unit mostly for podcast listening and some music on spotify app. But to be hinest ill sell it and get something that has crossovers cause i like my subwoofer and satellite setup. Thsi unit is cripppled without that...

The ram is low, however its not the main problem.. the cpu is very slow. it uses a very cheap cpu. nothign even close to what we have in cell phones. It does work. It is rather slow.. BUT it does work.. It is not very slow it is just slow. it takes 3 or 4 seconds for google maps to open. when its open, it works fine.. i think we are a few years away from having these androind car audio devices work fast and have good features. right now they are just starting out... this one is probably the best one so far. others just suckk

They used ANdroid 6 because its the most stable version of android to use with this sort of setup. Car audio.

It takes allot of development to rearange the operating system into what Atoto has done. Its a pretty good functional Operating system . Other Android phones are like working on a tablet. thsi is not.. its more like a car stereo..
