Bluetooth music player

Is there a good alternative bluetooth music player app I can use? The standard one is very basic and you cannot turn the annoying fake visualiser effect off. I have tried a few different music players but couldn't seem to get them to play the music from my phones bluetooth connection like the standard app does.

I prefer to play music using the bluetooth as I use Deezer and they are already downloaded to my phone.

SWC Question

Ill be purchasing the Atoto A6 Standard unit (A6Y2710SB), I have a 2010 Ram 1500 slt, basic SWC for volume. Im wondering if anyone has or is aware of whether its possible or not to connect and use the SWC without purchasing the Axxcess ASWC-1
[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
Unfortunately, I haven't found one. I prefer to play via Bluetooth, too, because I'd never remember to update an SD card with new music or changed/new playlists and because sometimes I want to continue the same shuffled playlist between the house and the car.

Try searching for your car model in the Amazon Questions section of the ASWC-1 product page (even if you choose the ASWC-WR instead - it is the newer water-resistant version) to see if anyone has asked about it. Also, go to the Axxess Web site and search for products for your car as that will tell you what you need.

google assistant and volume

Just got a couple of questions:

1. Is anyone elses google assistant really bad or are the microphones awful? I had a lot of trouble getting the assistant working with the microphones and I can't retrain it without saying 'ok google' a whole heck of a lot of times hoping it'll actually pick it up

2. volume seems to default back to 20 after turning off the car. Can that be turned off?
[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
1. Are you talking about the A6's Assistant or your phone's Assistant via Bluetooth? I believe the latter uses your phone's mic, as my S8's Assistant picks my voice up perfectly while the phone's via Bluetooth sucks. I use steering wheel controls to start them, not "Okay Google".

2. Check the Settings. I know on the S8, we have a default start volume setting choice (I set mine to 11 because the automatic volume for Bluetooth music on my phone is set high for other devices). There are also settings to mute or lower music when backing up the car and the mix of navigation voice volume to media volume (I think I have mine on 10 - it is difficult to set because there's no preview of what it will sound like, so you have to set it, go into Maps and start a navigation to anywhere, and if you want to change the mix do it all again until you like it).
[Android Head-Units] vongdong:
The A6's assistant. It kinda works if I'm up real close and speak a bit slow to the mic on the unit itself. It's really bad compared to my S10 and Tab S6.

I'm just playing music from the internal storage.
[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
Search this thread for microphone issues, as I believe there was a solved issue people had with the mic not picking up their voice due to a setting. Make sure your A6 has the latest firmware updates, too.

The default volume has nothing to do with Bluetooth, but overall volume of the unit. I was just explaining why my setting is at 11 because that might seem low, but it is because of the volume setting on my phone.
[Android Head-Units] vongdong:
Not much I can find about the mic on this thread other than looking for a setting to raise the gain for it. Do you know where it is? It works fine as far as I can tell but not great for the assistant. Latest firmware as far as I know, late last year's release.

Guess I'll ask their support about the volume.
[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
I found this quote (sorry, I forget the username who said it): "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."

I recommend you ask Atoto how to get into the hidden settings because they told me how to do it so I can fix a screen problem on the S8 by adjusting the VCOM, but I don't know if it is the same process/password for the A6 or if that's the same hidden settings where the mic volume is (there were lots of different settings, some of which I had no idea what they were for, and I don't remember seeing one for the mic, but I also wasn't looking for it).

The A6 doesn't have the default start volume setting in the Settings app? On the S8, it is near where you change the navigation voice mix and if you want the volume to decrease when you are in reverse.
[Android Head-Units] vongdong:
A hidden menu eh? I'll have to ask them about that. I emailed them yesterday and they just asked if I could change the time & date manually and if the unit starts up in 2secs or not. Thought that was a strange response that had nothing to do with my question.

Not that I can see, settings seem so limited on this unit compared to an android phone/tablet.
[Android Head-Units] Mumtaz77:
Two hidden menu reachable. This two is named "OEM Settings". One is for mic adjustment, and one for other things.

Just go to "Setting" -> "About device" . In there tap some times the "Model Number", I think, or an other. I can't remember, what exatly. This pickup the "OEM Settings" where You can input a password.

The two password is 1238 for MIC settings, and 1617 for other hidden settings.

No other hidden setting menu, just this two.

(Sorry for My English)
[Android Head-Units] vongdong:
Thank you so much for that. Google assistant works so much better now.
[Android Head-Units] Mumtaz77:
I have a hard time describing in English what I want. I'm partially using Google Translate, to write what I want. Sorry

So. The ATOTO factory ROM is not the best. They should be upgraded to at least Android 7, but I don't think they will, since the S8 has already come out.

I’m not good at ANDROID, but I’ve looked at a couple of applications and, for example, language files are a disaster within ROM. They are not fully translated into specific languages ​​and a lot of things are left out of them.

The whole ROM should be optimized and usable translations should be done for it.

There are things left out of the translation that are included in the base ANDROID 6. I don’t know why these had to be left out of it.

English is completely included, although there are also some Chinese in it. The other languages ​​are only partially included, so when set to a language other than English, many things remain English. That there is only English in other third party applications is one thing. But the fact that it was omitted from the system, which is included in the base android 6 is very strange.

English is not a problem for me. I don’t speak and write English well, but I understand it. But if the basic things were left out at ATOTO ...

And these are just translation problems.

I also saw things in the system that were left in from the base android, such as vibrating or feedback LED support.

For example, I was unable to repack ZHSystemUI.APK after translating, because contains links to resources that does not exist.

it looks like the entire ROM has been ported from some completely different device.

So I feel like this ROM somehow seems so tangled up. Not ready

Need someone to port another android or make a CUSTOM ROM for it.
[Android Head-Units] vongdong:
So customer service got back to me regarding the deafult volume. They said it can't be changed and it defaults back to 20 because incase someone leaves it at max volume, they won't be startled by the next start up. Dumb.
[Android Head-Units] Lace'n'Pearls:
Yeah, on the S8 you get to it by tapping the "Settings" option in the Settings app multiple times and entering a password, but as I see from the other poster, on the A6 it is in a different spot (or maybe there are multiple hidden menus - I might have to check!). Glad it worked for your Google Assistant to work better!

That is a weird response from them. I think sometimes, things get lost in translation for them, and they are too serious to understand a joke, but oh well! They have been trying to help me with my questions and issues, much more than any other company does these days.

---------- Post added at 05:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 AM ----------

Weird! I love the S8's default volume setting because I did one time set the volume super loud due to the lower sound of the show I was watching in the Xfinity Stream app (while parked, of course), and I forgot to turn it down before turning the car off. When I started the car next, it was automatically reset to my lower default volume for listening to music (via Bluetooth), so my ears were not blasted clear out. I didn't know that setting wasn't in the A6, so I'm even more glad I sold it after never getting it installed before they announced the S8 line.

Maybe a third-party app can help? I know there's one I tried on my phone that lets you set a default volume for individual apps because I wanted to try it with Google Assistant, since I'm having issues with the Bluetooth Google Assistant voice (via the S8) sometimes being too low to hear and sometimes being too loud, but it didn't allow me to use it with Google Assistant for some reason.

Hello!

I have recently bought and installed the A6YVW710PB model on my Skoda Yeti (it should be the same Golf VI platform).

With the original Skoda radio I had a menu Audio on the MFD showing radio frequency, track number or name, etc.

Now, with Atoto HU, that menu doesn't show anymore.

I tried to change the canbus parameter on the Atoto hidden menu but nothing changed.

Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Thanks

Fabio

P.S. the sw version is: AICE OS 9.6 2019-11-12 - MCU ver is: 2019-11-25 3AD0
[Android Head-Units] Mumtaz77:
Does anyone know how to actually do a factory reset? Because if I tap factory reset in the settings menu or use the reset pin in the front, a lot of settings remain.

For example, the steering wheel control settings and a few other things don’t get back to factory defaults.
[Android Head-Units] dd3d212:
I would first like to say........Thank you all for your help and patience beforehand.

I purchased an Atoto A6 base...for a 08 nissan sentra se. The radio works and the gps. The person who installed it could not get the Atoto SC3601 to work, nor does the steering wheel control unit that i purchased (

Metra Axxess ASWC-1 Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface).

We both called the 800 number listed for METRA and was given "basic" instructions on what wiring to do(I called them 2 times and both, were rushed off the phone with little help).

1. The Atoto A6 unit comes on with no issues - radio and wifi works

2. The camera comes on , yet with multiple colors on the display and not the view of the rearview image.

3. Utilizing Both Method 1 & 2 of what is listed on the Metra Axxess website (printed out - the general instructions & the vehicle specific instructions). We could not get the steering wheel to connect.

4. I also purchased SCOSCHE NAA2B Antenna Adapter - (which according to him we didn't need since the Atoto had the piece already. )

This is frustrating since we started this work at 0800 and couldn't''t get it to work. Atoto did send me a possible solution yet, that to couldn't work. Thanks again for any help.

Atoto A6 firmware

I would noticed that there is a newer version of the shared MCU. When I asked the manufacturer to send me the latest software version, they sent me the link to the latest ROM and the newer MCU firmware was sent as an email attachment. This is newer than what is shared on MYATOTO.

This is the link to the ROM (What you also shared): ATOTO AICE OS 9.6 2019-12-23

And this is the MCU firmware sent by ATOTO: MCU 2019-12-25

Personal Note: It would be time for ATOTO to finally fix the firmware because it is somehow not done that way. Or somehow someone would have to make a custom ROM
[Android Head-Units] dd3d212:

Player FM on Atoto A6 Pro

What's FM player do you use on A6 pro with RDS and name of station and Icon ?

The internal player does not display names in favorites for example

I have an Atoto A6 with firmware 9.6 installed. Somehow I uninstalled mirrorlink/easyconnect.

I am trying to reinstall the firmware to get this program back. I downloaded firmware 9.6 again but when I go to the system upgrade setting, it says to contact atoto support for uprade instructions. Is this because I have 9.6 already installed and can't reinstall the same version?

A few months ago I had 9.5 (?) installed and did the upgrade to 9.6 without any problems.

1) is there an easy way to reinstall the easyconnect apk? Is this in a hidden folder somewhere on the Atoto?

2) Has anyone tried reinstalling the firmware to the same version? Is there some trick in doing that?
[Android Head-Units] Mumtaz77:
This is what the device never did for me. Even if I wanted to put the same firmware on it.

Put UPDATE.ZIP in the root of a memory card or flash drive and plug it in. After some seconds You should see the refresh option.
[Android Head-Units] nimbus22:
Seems I had a corrupt update.zip download. I tried again and this time it updated.

So you can reinstall the same rev of firmware if you run into problems with your Atoto.
[Android Head-Units] comptechltd:

Rear camera not working, looking for suggestions

The camera I'm using is Atoto's own AC-4486. All I get is the exclamation mark when shifted into reverse. The camera is getting 12 Vdc when in reverse, I checked. I'm pretty sure the camera and wiring are OK, this leaves me with some kind of issue in the head unit. This is a new unit, I just bought it, everything works except the rear camera. Is there some app in the head unit that needs attention, or would a firmware update help? Any help would be much appreciated! Oh, this is the A6 Pro Model A6Y2721PRB-G.
[Android Head-Units] H4RnIcu7zu:
Hi guys,

Purchased and installed an atoto A6 pro, on my wife's skoda Yeti 2010, and got some few problems with it.

1. Every time I start the car, I hear a Boom noise coming from the speakers. I'm not totally sure I plugged the aux connector, dunno where to put them.

2. I got a constant flickering light in interior lights, the ones from locking the doors button.

3.Can't seem to find the plastic trim cover to fot the radio. Any ideas ?

4. Front camera (Usb one) isn't recognized, I'm afraid my son attached it to the computer and deleted some drivers/files- or windows installed another driver I don't know for sure !

Could you help ?

Thanks in advance !
[Android Head-Units] BarryR1:
1. This happens to me if the car is in the Accessory position (sound coming out) and then after that I start the engine. I believe it's because the amp is powered up and the Atoto makes a thud (not sure if you have a separate amp). If you can't solve it, you can buy a delay device from Amazon (or wherever) to prevent the thud.

2. I can't imagine that has to do with the A6. Did you disturb some wiring?

3. Not sure what you mean. I think it came with a bezel.

4. I only have a rear camera but looking at the instructions, it appears that the front camera needs an RCA plug not USB (just like the rear). I think you have the wrong camera for it unless it's adaptable. I don't think the USBs are for cameras. Drivers get installed on the computer not on the hardware. This has nothing to do with your son connecting it to a PC.
[Android Head-Units] H4RnIcu7zu:
1. I redid the wiring and connnected the aux wires. It stoped for now. Could you point me to the delay device ? Maybe an amazon link or something.

2. It might be just the light bulbs of the button. Also i saw a slight flickering in the display of the unit when the brightness is turned down.

3. I'll attach a picture. It's the plastic trim that comes around the radio. I seem to have a gap between the radio and the around dashboard. P.S. I don't know how to attach pictures from my phone :eek:

4. Yes I saw that I have the possibility to connect a RCA camera, so I'll return this one, and get a new one, though I don't know where to get the power (+) from ? It will work if i take it from the back camera ? Or it will light up only in reverse ?

Thanks in advance !

Have a nice day ☺️

Suggestion

My suggestion is to check camera by plugging into middle video and hit the aux button and see if video works..

If it does it must be the trip wire for video feed on the harness on Atoto radio is not getting a 12 volt feed when in reverse...I had to run another wire from the backup light (+) to the trip wire (Pink) on the Atoto harness.

I am preparing to finally update my Atoto A6 to the lastest firmware. I get how to handle the update.zip file but what steps do I need to use to update the MCU file?
[Android Head-Units] Mumtaz77:
Copy the update.zip and mcu .bin file to pendrive/sd-card root. Plug the drive to the headunit front usb/card slot. Some seconds later the update window pop-up. Choose the update.zip and follow instructions to update the firmware. After full update process finished and update window pop up again, do the same process, but this time choose the mcu.bin, not the update.zip.

Ok, now I have another minor issue. I had to replace the clockspring in my steering wheel. That is the part that allows the steering wheel buttons to work. Now for whatever reason, when I press the button for 'Next' or the 'Pause/Play' I get an annoying beep through the headunit but weirdly the volume up and down do not beep. I have checked under sounds and have screen touches turned off. I have tried re programming the buttons, restarting the unit everything I can think of. Anyone have any ideas?

I have had the A6Y2721PRB Pro in my truck for a little over a year now. The microphone has never worked on it. I have tried both with and without the external microphone plugged in. I checked with a voice recorder app and it shows nothing at all, not even low level background noise. It is like it is muted. I have also tried doing a reset and firmware upgrade. I am currently on 9.5.1.

The entire system has been slow and generally unimpressive. I am pretty much ready to toss it in the trash. Is there anything I can do before tossing $250 away?

Hi to all,

Hope this is the correct thread to my issue.

I got a A6Y2721P now but I can’t get the sound to work, no beeps, nothing!! I have read plenty of threads & vids concerning blue wires, amps and so on. Here my problem:

I got a Mazda 5, the original radio works properly. Since 3 years I was using a Xomax radio with no issues. I connect the xomax with a Mazda iso connector, the two blue wires(amp & antenna) are not connected.

When I connect the Atoto with the same connector I get no sound. Connecting either blue wires to Red brings no success.

I have checked red & yellow with the multimeter, all work as supposed.

Please help.
