A6 PF Android

I have enjoyed the Atoto A6PF so much that I purchased a second one for my 2010 Lincoln Town Car (factory premium sound). Also bought the Metra installation kit (95-5810) and the radio harness (70-5521). During installation, I trimmed the top front corners by 1/8" so that the adapters would fit more flush to the radio. Also, moved Pin 18 (LB-RD) of the factory harness to match the unused power antenna (blue) of the Metra harness; this is for the steering wheel control signal - no additional interface is needed. The Atoto features that were most appealing to me were the FM radio, Google Maps with GPS navigation, Wi-Fi Hotspot (to download maps locally), 36-band equilizer, USB music, and the 7-inch touchscreen with 6 physical buttons. Since the car has rear parking sensors, I did not install a rear-view camera - I did install a camera on the first car and it works great. Convert your CD's to mp3's, save them to a USB, and you can listen to many hours of your favorite music. Download a region from Google maps and you get voice and visual directions while enjoying your tunes. The only caveat was the factory amplifier produces a clicking sound if turned on through the Atoto settings. You can either turn off the amplifier or install a Line Out Converter to remedy the clicking. I am very satisfied with the sound quality using the factory speakers and subwoofer and the display resolution is fantastic - much improved upgrade over the original factory unit (which had a temperamental volume knob and broken CD changer). Would I recommend buying an Atoto A6PF? Most certainly, fits my needs perfectly and this is my second installation. I plan to buy a 3rd A6PF for another car in the near future. I was also impressed with the 18-month warranty when registered through the Atoto website.

Works great. good support. the wireless android auto works flawlessly. It's actually more of a pain to STOP it from connecting than to get it to connect. The 7" atoto a6 fit great in my 06 Impreza. I did have to drill some additional holes in the supplied mounting plate to get the angle correct. And I had to trim the OEM facia a bit. But it looks factory now. Honestly if I had to to do over I might save my money and energy and buy a 9" one that mounts outside the facia and a little closer to me. But I've already invested in this one, and it works great. I got the atoto rear cam also, and it works well. I like I can view it whilst not in reverse. It boots pretty quickly, at least as fast as new can OEM cams (I still wish it were ever faster). The atoto steering wheel controller I got also, and it is fair. Porbably the best I can hope for. The EQ on this head unit is really nice. total DSP control. You can't specify the db/octave on the crossovers, but... meh. I don't have a subwoofer hooked up yet, but soon I hope. The touchscreen is adequate. Better than my OEM 2017 Buick, not as good as the 2025 rental cars. The brightness is adequate. Note: the pairing USB does not provide hardly any juice to charge a cell phone. So it's great that the wireless android auto works so well, b/c I have to charge my phone on a regular charger.I will say the actually android OS is kind of shoddy. If you try and use the build in OS to run maps, it can't handle anything else at the same time (streaming music) very gracefully. But if you just use the EQ on the head unit and then use android auto for everything else, it's great.Anyway, overall, you can't beat the value. I feel it's WAY better than even the most expensive 7" name brands like sony, pioneer, etc.

I've used this stereo in my vehicle for a few years now, and can give my opinion on long term use.1. Sound quality: it sounds fine. For regular users, it will be fine. Over the years I've developed more audiophile ears and I can notice lack of perfect clarity, but if you're not coming from an audiophile experience, you'll have no complaints.2. Hardware features: it works well for what it says it does. Good screen quality, good microphone quality(it includes an external mic), gps antenna works properly, subwoofer out is good. Does not have rca speaker output, which means you can't bypass the amplifier and use an external amplifier if the audio is not clear enough for you. It DOES have AV video input. Which I assume is meant to be an option for connecting a life feed camera, however you can use whatever. So I used an HDMI to AV converter and hooked up my Nintendo Switch to it. A fun trick to have.3. Software features: it's running android, which means it can do most of what an android tablet can do. Due to Play Store restrictions, you cannot download certain apps, like Netflix or Disney+, however if you download an alternate app store via Chrome, this is no longer an issue, albeit a risk. The software is not perfect. It is a modified trimmed down version of Android to optimize it as a car stereo. This removes some features but most of which you won't miss. I did have occasional crashes and difficulty updating. This unit cannot update over the air, and needs a flash drive to be able to update. The issue is that the updates will only happen if the system recognizes the update files on the flash drive and chooses to prompt. There is no way to force the update, and for my most recent unit, it refused to recognize the update files in all circumstances and after all troubleshooting.4. Customer Support: not bad at all. They respond to emails within their office hours and will guide you through troubleshooting. They helped me solve a few different issues. Due to them being in China, I had to wait about 24 hours between responses, but it worked slowly but surely.5. Performance: it is not a fast device. The processor and ram are limited and can be slow loading many applications. It does work eventually. Some bugs are continuous and you have to work around them. For example, Android Auto will only work via a wireless or wired connection. It will not work if both are connected, and be stuck ok a waiting and trying to connect loop until it is only connected via one of the two.6. Value for money: It's really tough to beat this. While not perfect, you will have fun with it. Especially if you're coming from a stock stereo, or you're new to android stereos, you will enjoy messing around with this. I like to run an emulator on it and connect a controller to make it an in-car game system. The options are endless. I cannot speak for how this compares to premium android units yet, but for the sheer openness and acceptable reliability for the product, it's well worth the price I laid at $200.

Works great very easy to install hardest part was the wiring harness as you have to solder the connections. Comes with wiring harness and easy instructions. Maps are great connect to the phone easy. Wish it would connect automatically but that may be a setting. Or user error :)
