Happy new year friends,

my atoto a6 pro A6Y2721PRB bluetooth 1 connects just fine with my huawei phones, pair status connected. When I try to play music nothing can be heard.

last time I had this issue , I restarted to factory settings but , once again it has failed on me.

Any idea how to get it fixed?
[Android Head-Units] slimpyman:
Anyone suggest how to keep it from killing my battery. im working only a few days a week, and it seems i need to jump my car every time. the unit does go into standby when i pull the key out the ignition. But the bottom left button that has a little power icon doesnt really turn it off regardless how long it is held in.

ATOTO A6 Pro A6Y2721PR Is there a way to rotate screen from landscape to portrait and then back? I have downloaded an off-roading mapping app and it displays in landscape which is great most of the time. Need to be able to rotate to portrait sometimes to access menu buttons on app. These screen shots are from phone so you can see app buttons in portrait. Atoto currently displays in landscape like top screen shot.
[Android Head-Units] cartainment:
Is there any way to fully shut down the A6 Pro on demand? I tried to install an app that shows the power menu and I managed to power it off but then after few seconds it boots itself back again. I need to do that because I'm using the car only once a week nowadays for a short drive, which isn't enough to charge the battery much and because of that, the 7 days of inactivity never come, so the A6 Pro never goes into deep sleep and keeps chopping the voltage slowly. Any idea?
[Android Head-Units] Kombucha_man:
I just installed atoto a6 into a ford f450 2011.

Soldered all wires that came with the wiring harness to a wiring harness for my truck.

When i plug the wiring harness in the buttons flash blue...breifly....then if i hold the display so that the sun shines on it i can see the animation that is displayed during start up. Then i can very faintly see the home screen. But it goes blank after about 5 seconds. What could my problem be?

No one experienced this?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] NicoPT:
You could put a switch on the yellow cable and link the red wire to the fuse box.
[Android Head-Units] jackohound:
I agree. Installing a switch on the yellow wire would completely disconnect the ATOTO from your battery. Otherwise, I'm not aware of any menu option on ATOTO that will force a full shutdown earlier than the "7 days of inactivity".

Hi I have an adapter for SWC, I'm planning to buy Atoto A6, were you able to use SWC with your radio? My car is Kia Rio sedan 2013, had Joying radio, complete crap
[Android Head-Units] neverhighalwayslow:
Hi just installed an a6 into my car and got it all set up. Only thing I can't seem to figure out is if there is a way to rearrange the apps in the actual apps menu, not just on the home screen. Talking about the menu that is brought up by pressing the middle square with 6 dots that shows all of your apps.
[Android Head-Units] CanadianIceTech:
Been running this for a couple years, and overall it's really good!

However, couple things I'd like to fix.

First, the audio quality. I have it hooked up to my factory amplified system wired up to the wiring harness on the back of the deck. However, it seems to be missing a lot of the low end and the audio is very "flat" even with the low end raised in the equalizer. The factory amp sends the low end to the door speakers, and while they are working they aren't nearly as high volume as they normally would.

With the factory stereo (or any other aftermarket stereo), the door speakers have enough bass coming out to vibrate the outside mirror. Not the case with this even at max volume. Normally you can "feel" a decent amount of bass, but absolutely none at max volume. Its like listening to music on my tv.

If I were to use the RCA outputs, would that maybe fix my issue? I also have a separate equalizer I could run it through that I purchased when I attempted to mount a tablet in the dash. The car only takes 2 inputs (1 left and 1 right), and it splits it up among the 6 speakers accordingly.

Second, for the camera.

I have an RCA camera I'm trying to hook up as a dash cam. I have the power wire on the radio end of the harness hooked up to the reverse camera + cable on the harness. Then the power/ground on the camera end of the harness to the radio switched power source and the radio ground.

When I plug it into the reverse camera input, it shows the camera view on the screen. Works fine, aside I can't exit that view at all.

When I plug it into either of the other two video inputs, it automatically goes to show it on the screen (similar to a backup camera) but it shows a black screen with a triangle and exclamation mark. I also cannot exit this screen until I disconnect the camera from the power source.

If I leave the camera end hooked up to power/ground, and disconnect the wire connected to the reverse camera + wire on the harness, the camera apps don't recognize a camera.

Hopefully that's not too confusing.
[Android Head-Units] bmeek:
This implies that you’ve successfully used other aftermarket head units, yet you aren’t really clear on what sort of input your factory amp is expecting or how to hook it up. I say this because you’re asking a technical question without providing enough details about your setup to enable anyone to provide a useful answer.

When you say “the car only takes 2 inputs (1 left and 1 right)…” I’m guessing it wants line-level stereo input (2-channel stereo). Normally this would be sourced from your ATOTO’s front channel RCA outputs. My guess is your factory head unit sends the positive L & R signals on 2 wires (what you’re calling “inputs”) along with a common signal ground on a third wire.

Here’s the thing. Factory amps are designed only for factory head units. They don’t have standard I/O ports with a choice to use high-level or low-level inputs with knobs to adjust gain or crossover frequencies… They only really work well with a specific head unit connected in a specific way. Change the head unit and you’re on your own with wishful thinking. Aftermarket wiring harnesses for your car can be useful and will generally steer you in the direction of the using either RCA inputs for amp integration (cross your fingers) or high-level speaker outputs going directly to the car’s speakers.

I don’t know what your talking about on the dash cam stuff (I’ve only used the backup camera with mine).
[Android Head-Units] CanadianIceTech:
I have the car specific harness for the car. (2005 Dodge Magnum RT)

It's a factory Boston acoustics system, and the previous radio I had was the Pioneer Appradio, and it sounded better than the factory unit. However, it lacked the functionality I wanted hence going to an android unit.

The car takes only 2 inputs as the amp is designed to control the fade, etc and send specific ranges to certain speakers (for example low end to the doors, high end to the dash)

So I'm just wondering if the RCA outputs would have a better/more whole sound compared to the wiring from the stereo harness. The pioneer deck I took the output from the wiring harness (can't recall if it had RCA)
[Android Head-Units] bmeek:
Well, it seems odd that it works at all if it wasn’t hooked up about right. Have you accidentally set a high pass filter on the ATOTO by turning on its subwoofer output? Have you set the ATOTO’s “listening position” (the stupid UI for adjusting balance and fade) to 100% front and center?
[Android Head-Units] kc-guy:
Can anyone point me to a good summary of the various models?

Amazon lists 4 or 5 models, all at difference prices, and I'm not sure of the difference in specs.

There is no contest, the only really good one is the S8 Ultra Gen 2, 2 screen sizes.
[Android Head-Units] BarryR1:
I updated my 2 year old A6 to an S8 (Premium, Gen 2). It's WAY better. I liked the A6 but it was annoyingly slow. The S8 is way better and has Android OS10 which allows split screens. Both the Amazon and Atoto websites explain the differences in the models, but if you don't need wireless Apple CarPlay then the Premium is probably the best value. It has the superior screen.
[Android Head-Units] iliketrains:
Anyone found a way to show album artwork from BT music in other launchers? Specifically playing from Spotify on my phone via Bluetooth1.

I tried to install it and it seemed to work but my build number didn't change. No idea what I did wrong. I think the MCU link is only for model numbers with Y in them like the Pro. I did just install the file from the first link and it worked. No idea what the MCU file is for or how to install it.
[Android Head-Units] returned4good:
Where do y'all find these updates? I looked all over the Atoto support page and can't find them anywhere. Not for the A6, at least.

Nevermind. Carry on. Lol

[Android Head-Units] sd_shadow:
MCU stands for Microcontroller Unit. The MCU acts as the bridge between the hardware on the head unit and the android system.
[Android Head-Units] thielek:
I bought the A6 premium with only 1GB RAM and am quite disappointed with how slow and laggy it is. Especially with Google maps etc. Is the only difference with the pro is that it has 2GB of RAM and does that make much of a difference? Correct me if I'm wrong but it's the same SoC right?
[Android Head-Units] naps1saps:
I got my unit fully installed and I swear the illumination auto brightness was working fine... Now when I turn the lights on, it dims, turn off, it doesn't brighten up again. If bright when lights on, turn lights off and the screen dims.

Anyone had this issue and know how to fix it?
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
What is the procedure to update the MCU on the A6 Pro? The update instructions shown on the software update website only indicate how to update the OS.
[Android Head-Units] naps1saps:
I just updated it last night. You can throw the MCU or both on the card and it will show up just like the OS update. I believe it is only for the A6Y* models.
[Android Head-Units] mstavale:
where is the link??

Would like to DL the latest version to hopefully fix my auto dimming issue. Seems whenever i hit home button or back button the screen dims to the lowest setting and i have to hit the display brightness button to even be able to see the screen. anyone know a fix for this? I have the ILL cable connected to the car and it auto dims when the lights are on but this is a new problem.
[Android Head-Units] sterod:
I have found a bug with the A6Y2721PRB device and reported it to Atoto.

This is the problem that others have reported with similar Joying/FYT units.

https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...-6026-joying-random-wifi-mac-address-t3844329

The head unit appears to assign itself random Mac Addresses for the WiFi adaptor. This is a problem because over time you end up with dozens of DHCP leases for a single device which can quickly use up the assigned DHCP IP Pool.

The head unit is running the latest MCU and AICE 9.5.1 OS.

ATOTO AICE OS 9.5.1 is now available for ATOTO A6 users

Post by Atoto 2019-01-04 09:28:07 698

An earlier version ATOTO AICE OS 9.5 has made a few improvements, but it was not open for public download, only for internal testing. Now the new version ATOTO AICE OS 9.5.1 has kept all the improvements available on AICE OS 9.5 and is ready for download. The updates involved are as follows:

1. Slight change of UI in certain local apps, such as "mute" icon of radio app, Answer/hang up icon in BT hands free app. The guideline in reversing video display has also been optimized so that it looks more comfortable;

2. Spelling Errors found on certain apps or settings in the past have been fixed;

3. Fix the issue of being unresponsive in VIDEO app, which has been found in certain case;

4. Fix the issue of failure in muting the audio when putting the car into reverse, even if "reverse mute switch" option in system settings is enabled;

5. Apps update for better experience: pre-installed TPMS app, AutoKit app have been updated. And the max/minimum value of the "pressure low limit" has been changed to adapt to heavy trucks tire;

6. Certain system performance bugs have been fixed. One import improvement is, the abnormal sleeping process leading to boot failure (stuck in ATOTO logo or Android animation step) has been figured out and is fixed.

How to proceed with system firmware update?

For users who have done system update on A6 previously, it has no difference this time. For users who are going to do first time system update, please read the "Update guide" document carefully, and then download the system firmware (2 files, one is ARM OS firmware, the other is MCU firmware) and follow the instructions in update guide

Hi

I've recently bought and installed the Atoto A6Y Premium - A6Y2721PB. Loving it a lot so far, but have found one major annoyance/bug - it has wiped both my USB stick and iPod clean.

I haven't had it long enough to be able to figure out the exact steps to replicate the problem but the info I can provide is the following:

-USB flash stick with music on it

-iPod Nano with music on it

-SD card with no music on it

Apps installed and used leading up to them being wiped:

-CWG launcher

-Power Amp

-Google Play Music

Has anyone else experienced the same before?

Atoto Question (New A6 Pro 10.1" A6Y1021PR)

Atoto Question (New A6 Pro 10.1" A6Y1021PR):

I have read good reviews about the Aoto A6 Pro units, but I see they are run Android 6.0. Should that be a concern? Will it end up that apps and other things will not end up working with that old of a version of Android?

Also, the new 10.1" screen - Does anyone have experience with that size and mounting style of screen? I would expect it to move around a bit when hitting bumps, but how does it feel, or does it move or give when you interact with it by tapping or pressing on the screen or swiping, etc.

Thanks in advance for the information!

[Android Head-Units] BarryR1:
If you scroll to the bottom here A6 there is a grid for the A6.

Here for the F7 and S8.

The F7 is the least expensive & runs on Linux. I know nothing about that line.

Some of the S8s come in 7 inch, 8 inch floating or 10 inch floating.

I got the S8 Premium which appears to be out of stock.

The company is very good about responding to emails (though on China time so often overnight). They could answer specific questions and might have some hints about availability.

This is not the way to do this...Now if you want to see the rear while driving, the radio stops...you need a rca splitter, one male to RCin(2), the other male to Vin(6), male to camera, provide +12v ignition to camera power...now when Aux is on so is radio.

Does anyone use Google Maps and Spotify regularly at once?

I often experience slow down once these apps are launched. They are quite demanding. I switched the Google Maps mode to some cut back mode and it loads somewhat faster. If I have both apps on, clicking the physical home button takes around 2 seconds before an on-screen change occurs.

I also have the problem where when driving the music and Mobile hotspot connection will cut and then come back on within around 15 seconds. I've no idea why though. Running on an MX5 MK2.5 with a new battery (less than 1y old)
[Android Head-Units] adriasanchezig:
It seems that since today the unit can't connect to internet anymore, I believe is due to the issue with the certificates that were expiring today

Hi everyone,

Just installed the A62721PB-G and I had a few questions:

- is there a patched or rooted firmware out there for this model? I found some threads, but with all the different models, I wasn't sure.

- anyone else experience the default music app just randomly opening? I can't even disable it, and it just takes over without action or warning.

- any way to hide the notifications in the status bar, at least when it's collapsed?

- is there a 9.7 version of the firmware, or is 9.6 the latest?

- there's a lot of bloatware I've never heard of on it. Anything I should hesitate to remove?

- anyone else experience wifi not automatically connecting? I feel like even with a network in range, i have to go in a toggle it or select connect.

- any way to just get it to run a little smoother? I know the hardware is what it is, but maybe there's a way to disable some background resource hog.

Any help or other tips would be appreciated. Thank you.

Can anyone shed any light on why the audio on my Atoto A6 Pro will go out and then requires me to press either volume button to have the volume come back. This happens on Bluetooth apps (pod casts, SiriusXM and Pandora) as well as celestial radio stations. Using an Apple 13 phone and the correct car play doggle. Note the music or podcast don’t stop, the volume just cuts out. Any help solving this is appreciated.
