ATOTO A6 AICE OS 9.4 firmware update

ATOTO has released a few firmware update since ATOTO A6 is available, and the latest ATOTO AICE OS 9.4 has the most

changes and now it is available for download & update manually. At the bottom of the document, there is a link for

downloading the new firmware.

Here are some of the changes in this firmware update:

1. Includes support of ATOTO Hands Gesture Control feature, which is the beta feature available on ATOTO A6 Pro.

Current A6 Premium/Standard products do not have hands gesture sensor inside, so will not be available for

experiencing;

2. Includes support of latest Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX feature, and though it is available on A6 Pro version,

the optimized firmware allows current A6 Premium/Standard users to see phone phone signal strength/battery power

on A6 notification bar(see images below)! ATOTO A6 is the first Android car stereo brand to synchronize phone signal

and battery power on car stereo screen!

3. We also included a screen lock option in system settings for users to lock the screen when the car (car stereo) is not in

their control (Valet Parking, vehicle taken by others), in order to protect privacy. Local media apps (Radio, BT Music,

Video, AUX) can still run next time when car is ignited, but there is a password input window to block non-authorized

users to access sensitive personal data; The downside of enabling this option is users need to input password

every time when system finishes booting;

4. This issue that A6’s Wi-Fi MAC address changes randomly every time when system finishes booting has been fixed.

A few ATOTO users who want to let A6 connect to specified router hotspot found that once they enable the

MAC filter option from Wi-Fi router hotspot, ATOTO will not be able to connect to the router next time, until

changed/new MAC address from A6 has been added to router. Now this issue has been fixed, and it even

allows user to revise & input the MAC address they want to display from A6!

Please write to support@myatoto.com with your order number and product Serial number for password, as it cannot be

set/revised by users and we generated different password for products manufactured in different batch. How to find the

Product Serial No. for my product? Click this link for more details http://support.myatoto.com/show-30-4-...

[Android Head-Units] BarryR1:
But the latest firmware is 9.5.1...
[Android Head-Units] sd_shadow:
yes, so?
[Android Head-Units] BarryR1:
It seemed to me that the post above by sd_shadow implied that 9.4 was the latest. Perhaps I misunderstood.
[Android Head-Units] sd_shadow:
OK, just a cut and paste from Atoto site.

I will see if I can find some release dates and add a note.

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] chronicfathead:
Anyone had issues where the dialler app doesn't work correctly, ie it doesn't show an incoming call or ir it doesn't show an outgoing call so I can't cancel an outgoing call. Works perfectly on my Mate 10 Pro, but not on my wifes Razer Phone 2.

Its her car!

Torque Pro support?

I read an older message thread that stated that you could not load the Pro version of Torque on the A6 Pro and were stuck with using the included 'Lite' version. Is this still the case?
[Android Head-Units] traroberts:
I'm having an issue to where the EQ changes preset modes on its own (i.e. from classical to rock, etc.). Any suggestions? This is very frustrating, to say the least! Forgive me if this has been addressed already, but I have honestly looked and can not find any instances of this problem for others.
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
Check the air gesture setting if you have.
[Android Head-Units] traroberts:
Ahhh, I hadn't thought about that. I'll experiment a little and will report back. It may take a while because the unit is in my personal vehicle and I'm in my work van all week, but I will check it out. Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
my A6 Pro has the full version of Torque on as default. :good:

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

quick question, it seems some apps CAN over-ride the lower bar on the Atoto, the bar with the icons for brightness, equaliser etc. The app in question is Absolute radio, it goes full screen. So this suggests to me that it is an option in code somewhere to do this. Any thoughts, it could be utilised in front ends installed on the device and would look loads better, i have absolutely no use for equaliser and have "classical" on my screen at all times is pointless and a bit silly

Custom EQ Settings

So, is it possible to customize the EQ Settings and save them? I think someone told that it's not only possible for it to save a custom EQ only in a specific EQ setting. Any idea, is it possible, or you gotta keep tweaking them all the time?
[Android Head-Units] r757chan:
Resume Playback Poweramp

When I turn on the ATOTO A6 Pro A6Y2721PRB it won't consistently resume playing where I left off in Poweramp. The settings in Poweramp are correct I think. When I go to the app its usually ahead in the album by at least one song, but sometimes several. It's not related to how long the head unit is off though. I thought it had to do something with the SD card not mounting in time, though it did it even when I put the music on the internal memory. I'm using Nova Launcher. Thoughts?
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
I don't have that issue, when I turn on (even from deep sleep), Poweramp starts with last song played.
[Android Head-Units] r757chan:
Where's your music located?
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
On the microSd.
[Android Head-Units] r757chan:
Mine is 128 GB, and I have tried formatting it using my computer (FAT32) and using the actual head unit, both as internal and portable (I'd prefer portable for easier access.) Nothing really seems to make a difference. When the unit wakes up if I open Poweramp immediately I can see it tell me that it can't find the folder. The fact that it sometimes skips several songs ahead makes me think it might be trying several times until the card eventually mounts. It having similar behavior with the music on the internal memory contradicts that though, so I don't know.

Also, when messing with the SD card I've noticed that whenever I eject it the stock music player opens in the notifications, not sure what that's about but it is kind of annoying.
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
Maybe is the launcher.

I'm using Agama launcher, try it, you have free trial of 30 days.
[Android Head-Units] CrumbleMuffin:
Subwoofer doesn't seem to work on native apps

When I stream audio by Bluetooth, I get full sound, no issues. A (lot) little bass heavy to my subwoofer, but native apps (ie Spotify on my a6) push absolutely no bass to my subs, although, I was able to create one instance in ONE video on YouTube where it did push sound, but it only clipped, and didn't make sense given it was an instructional on adjusting the setting under sound --> subwoofer. (Which changed nothing)
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
Way to save Custom EQ Permanently

I read that if you customize the EQ Settings in Flat mode it should keep your custom settings permanently, no matter if you exit the app or restart the unit. Is that true, anyone tried it?
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
A note that may be of interest, you CAN hide the lower menu bar. You need to use an app that forces everything fullscreen. Fulscrn is what I tested, but I do run a launcher which is probably forced fullscreen to cover the bar. You can still "recall" the bar by simply sliding up from the bottom, and it remains for a few seconds before hiding again. There are other apps which you can select which programs go fullscreen, so simply select your launcher so the bar is hidden, then any of your apps when open the bar will return, if that's what you want. Gives you a totally stock look without having an equaliser and volume etc icons there which are catered for elsewhere.
[Android Head-Units] JaceV:
Display PR vs. PRB

I am trying to decide between the A6Y721PR and A6Y721PRB.

Main difference is the display. According to ATOTO:

A6Y721PR comes with a TFT-LCD display with 1000cd/m2 brightness.

A6Y721PRB has a 600 cd/m2 IPS display with 178° viewing angle.

I have asked ATOTO about the viewing angles of the 1000 cd/m2, but their reply only quoted the specs above.

Does anyone have experience with both the A6Y721PR and the A6Y721PRB? Which one has the better display? I am mainly worried about viewing the screen in bright daylight. I currently own a Joying JY-UL124N2, but I'm very unhappy about the display: I can't see a thing during the day.
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
Link of the 1000 CD/m2 model?
[Android Head-Units] JaceV:
Sorry, I can't:

To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!

You can find it through Google or the Atoto site, look for a6y2721pr. From the Atoto site:

3).This model comes with 1000cd/m2 TFT-LCD display screen,which has highest brightness to help improve the viewing experience in daylight!

[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
Thx.

I have the other model, i search on youtube any review of the 1000 cd/m2 but without luck.
[Android Head-Units] JaceV:
What is your experience with your model's visibility of the screen in bright sunlight?
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
I will install it next week, for now I just tried it at home.
[Android Head-Units] sd_shadow:
I have the A6Y2721PRB
[Android Head-Units] round2:
Have no clue how you would burn out the amp.. sounds liek you did a crappy job of wiring the speakers and they had a short somewhere..

.. to answer the question about using the google maps with no internet, you can, you just have to connect to the internet before you do youre traveling, and download the area of the maps you want to use.. i tried it it works.

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

format the sd card.. in a cell phone or try formatting it in the car stereo unit... that problem should go away after this.
[Android Head-Units] tenchuuu:
Heat. Said it right in the same paragraph that you apparently can't read [emoji106]
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
They mentioned upping the min/max limits of the TPMS app in the latest update. Can someone tell me what the min/max values are in their app?
[Android Head-Units] gordon.mott:
I installed mine just today. Used a Scosche adapter in a Nissan XTerra. Booted up and just about the time I logged into wifi and fired up youtube, wondering why I had no sound.... the unit started on fire. Not kidding. Verified wiring using Mitchell OnDemand. Probed everything out.
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
Fire??
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
Do you know an alternative app for the FM radio?

The original one is horrible!
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
Have you tried any from the app store?

Looks like there are a few although most of the good interface ones are internet radio vs tuners. The tuner ones I ran across look similar to the atoto app.
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
Unfortunately I found only radio internet!

So I stopped search and ask here.
[Android Head-Units] kramttocs:
That was what I kept running into also. Definitely a lack of true [and aesthetically pleasing] tuner apps.
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
So we must use the original one ?
[Android Head-Units] GreenEnvy22:
I have an ATOTO A6, and would like to add a USB LTE stick permanently hooked up. I prefer this over a wifi hotspot. Are their any certain models of USB stick that are compatible? I'd be using this on Bell in Canada, but any unlocked stick that works with ATT/Verizon/Telus/Rogers should work.

If USB ports on the a6 don't provide enough power I can stick a powered USB hub behind the unit, lots of room in my Rondo behind the radio.
[Android Head-Units] taiven:
I installed the Atoto A6 back up camera the other day. I wired it a little different then your suppose to. I hooked it to a toggle switch so I can turn it on whenever I want and not just when im in reverse. I dont have it hooked into back up lights, I just have power run from fuse panel to toggle switch then to wiring on camera. It works fine, I turn on switch and my HU switches right to the back up camera screen. The only time it doesnt work is in reverse lol. As soon as I put car in reverse I lose the back up camera and just get an exclamation mark on the screen. When I put shifter in park or drive the camera comes right back up again.

Any thoughts?. I dont know how my HU even knows im in reverse to begin with. Unless there's something in my car wiring harness that tells the HU the shifter is in reverse.

Thanks

…..Updating in case anyone else ever has issues with toggle switch. I have it fixed now. The issue seems to have been with the ground back by where I have camera mounted. I had the ground spliced into the connector of the trailer plug. Im guessing what I thought was the ground was really the back up lights on the trailer maybe. Regardless I snipped the ground and now the camera stays on when I put it in reverse. The camera wiring must be grounded up front somewhere I guess. Through the barrel connector maybe. I should probably ground it properly though the frame but I can't be bothered.

Bluetooth app not working

My Bluetooth has worked perfectly but since yesterday the Bluetooth player is missing devices and when I connect my phone I can't use the interface in the Bluetooth player app. The audio works but all the buttons in the app are greyed out and I can only be on the device selection screen.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Issue resolved but can't delete this post!
[Android Head-Units] round2:
LOL yea ok... i dont believe you...

I use to install car audio for a living.. I think i know about how to install head units... ive seen things catch on fire in cars and a head unit aint one of um.. Dude you would need to have NO fuse. Which is prolly what you missed, then you had to have a wire touching bare metal and make a electrical short circuit. .. This radio only draws 15 amps at the most.. barely enough to create a fire.. especially if you had a proper fuse on the power wire... i think you are trollin...

---------- Post added at 02:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 AM ----------

Yea i guess I cant reaad... duhhhhhhh... I can only type out words i paste randonly from different website... smh...
[Android Head-Units] tenchuuu:
Apparently that's the case. If my wiring were the issue then the replacement head unit would've failed the same, considering I didn't rewire, just unplugged the old head unit and plugged in the replacement, since I was replacing same for same. The amp over heated, end of story. I added fans and heat syncs to the unit (as shown earlier in this post). I wouldn't have spent the money or gone through that effort if it weren't in issue in my application.
[Android Head-Units] round2:
The app for the radio is directly conected to the electronics parts.. you cant just use different app for FM radio..

FM radio is actually circuitry in the unit. Its not data that streams into the app. The app just controls the circuitry...

Also good news. I ddi learn that the FLAT eq curve can save your personal eq curve unlike the other preset curves.. I tested it.. I clicked on flat, changed teh ciurved. close the eq, reopened, even changed teh eq curve to several others, even turned the unit off. turned off the vehichle.. FLAT setting stated the...

HOWEVER, this unit is just not something i want to keep... Its been a pain in my AZZ to be honest... This is a new venture that has not yet been really perfected.. The Atoto units have good idea but the outcome is not so good. The biggest problems i have is the fact that there is no crossovers... Why the hell would i want a subwoofer out and the subwoofer volume dont change ? The crossver on the subwoofe rsucks.. there is no crossover on the other 4 channels so basically i have bass playing through all my speakers... Well I had to go buy some adapters and jerry rig the unit.. It sall nonsense.. So Ill be selling it on fleBay.... I bought a old school stereo deck with auxiliary inputs.. Ill just connect my phone to the deck and listen to whatever through the aux input... maybe in 3 years atoto will come out with a better model.. till then... i dont even wanna look at this thing again tbh...

---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 AM ----------

OK Ok point made... obviously you had some issues... i dont doubt it now... another reason why im selling mine...

I went and looked at your pics... this unit is nothing but a metal can with a few chips... im surprised it actually does what it does!
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
Really? This is new for me. Ok ok so we have to live with it. But it's very bad app.

Is normal that I can't save my station name? I can only save the radio frequency number ?

Or maybe it's just me that I can't use it.

For the other things you said, in my case expect for little things I really like this head unit.

Ok, plastic buttons seems cheap, the software is not that good (but I resolved installing Agama launcher), and the total speed is not so enthusiastic but we hope for a new model with a faster CPU and some general improve in next years.

---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 AM ----------

Very clear, no problem with it.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
I have found the unit clunky so far, but I'm working on my perfect set up via FCC launcher.

In regards to the fm radio app, it might be connected to electricals but the app is still an app, if you can unpick the APK you can adjust it to how you want it, surely.
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
I'm heavily confused whether or not I should buy this unit... I was saving for a while and today was ready to pull the trigger and order one A6 Pro unit. I don't mind about the crossover settings since I'm running on speakers without an amp (no subwoofer). I mostly care about music and navigation (I can use offline maps with here maps). I concluded that from all the Android H.Us this was the best package. However, I keep seeing people criticizing it and I'm skeptical whether or not I should invest in it. I won't lie, I was quite excited to add a screen in my car cause currently it only has a 1-din unit an I was planning to install a 2-din unit with a small mod.

What should I do? :/
[Android Head-Units] tenchuuu:
I have purchased 3 of these. Two in my own cars and one in my dad's. Are they perfect? No. Are they worth what you pay if you want the freedom of an android head unit, yes.
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
Buy it.
[Android Head-Units] Super_paulie:
Totally agree. It's the best on offer at the moment. Add a launcher program, learn KWGT to create your own widgets, and get stuck in. I can't find my favourite set up, but I'm still playing with it. See attached, I've been working on "hiding" the bottom menu bar that is on by default in the native firmware. Once I'm set up I think this will work just great and new units come out all the time, a simple upgrade to the next model if I need it.
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
Thank you all for your quick feedback, was really useful and really appreciated. I guess I will join the club :D

Hi, can I download Google Assistant app on Atoto A6 Pro? And can I use Google Assistant on the head unit for voice command to:

1. Play a specific song on Spotify? E.g “ok Google, play (song name) on Spotify”?

2. Navigate to a specific Iocation via Google Maps? E.g “ok Google, navigate to (location name)”?

And lastly, must i first be on the Google Assistant app screen in order to do the above or will it react regardless of what screen I am on?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] djdavid:
Yes 1 and 2 point.

For do that you have to open the google assistant app. It don't recognize the 'ok google' voice command.

Unfortunately the main screen speaker icon open the google voice search and not the assistant!

Android Auto?

So guys, to use Android Auto, do you really need the extra dongle that ATOTO sells or not? I saw that you can simply do it without any dongle for free, using something called Android Reloaded. Does this work? Also is there any drawback in performance or something to do it this way? If not, I guess the dongle is just a gimmick to make you pay extra money? :confused:
[Android Head-Units] intruda119:
Headunit reloaded. Cost a few bucks on play store or xdalabs.

Runs decent on atoto
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
Any difference/drawback compared to the dongle that ATOTO sells?

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

Is it possible to also use the A6 Pro as a GPS tracker? I think Google allows Location Sharing so it's probably doable. Will definitely need internet connection though. Also not sure if it will keep working even when the car is shut. Anyone tried?
[Android Head-Units] intruda119:
I don't know anything about the dongle.

I have the older atoto a6. Ive installed tablet instead of using on headunit.

Unless it's fixed with the newer radios, updating with playstore was frustrating slow so I went another route
[Android Head-Units] theoren_1:
Hey all, I've been using an A6 pro for about a month or so - had been working great up until a few days ago.

Quite suddenly, I started having an issue with my display (this happened one moment to the next, not a creeping problem). The screen started overlaying "ghost" images from previous screens, along with vertical digital lines that muddy up the display. It seems to progressively get worse the more screens you cycle through.

I've posted some pictures of the issue here: h-t-t-p-s://imgur.com/a/ZY5qzel

Otherwise, the unit still seems perfectly functional - screen is responsive, and apps are working. I've tried a factory reset, with no luck - the issue persists. Anyone have any thoughts on what might be happening or how to fix it?
