What it is
CB7BVF is the top-trim member of ATOTO’s CB7 family. It plugs into your head unit’s wired CarPlay (or wired Android Auto) USB port, turns it into wireless CarPlay adapter and Android Auto adapter, and adds a stand-alone Android 15 system you can switch to whenever you want more than CP/AA can offer. As a “V” model, it includes HDMI Out HDMI In; as an “F” model, it adds 5G mobile data on top of LTE. All CB7 variants (including this one) come with AHD camera input standard for on-box DVR.
Who it’s for
●Drivers who want wireless CP/AA without replacing their factory radio.
●Families needing HDMI Out for rear/headrest screens, while keeping audio through the car’s amps/EQ.
●Anyone who occasionally plugs in a console or TV stick via HDMI In.
●Users who want on-box DVR from an add-on camera, recorded at FHD 1080p 30fps.
●Travelers who prefer built-in 5G/LTE data (with cloud/virtual SIM) instead of phone tethering.
The big benefits (in plain English)
1) Cut the cord for CarPlay/Android Auto
Keep the native experience you know—just wireless now. If your car stereo only had CarPlay (or only Android Auto), CB7BVF acts as a CarPlay AI box, adding the other wirelessly as well.
2) A second, faster brain on your dash
Switch to an independent Android 15 desktop (Qualcomm QCM6350, 8GB RAM + 128GB storage) for apps and features beyond CP/AA—ideal for online video, richer tools, and ATOTO’s smart add-ons.
3) Internet your way — including 5G
Go online via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth tethering, or use the built-in 5G/LTE modem.
●Cloud/virtual SIM: buy data in-app—no card required (physical SIM also supported).
●Note: USB tethering isn’t supported.
4) HDMI Out HDMI In (the “V” advantage)
●HDMI Out to a passenger or rear monitor; audio stays in your car audio path so you keep EQ/fader/balance control.
●HDMI In accepts video from a console, TV stick, or other HDMI source.
5) AHD camera DVR is standard on CB7
Plug an AHD camera into CB7BVF and use the built-in DVR app to record at FHD 1080p/30fps, with easy playback on your head unit.
●Accessories are sold separately (camera, WR2 wireless reverse system, Bluetooth OBD, smart ambient/chassis lights, etc.).
●CB7BVF provides the interfaces and apps; you choose the add-ons you want.
6) ATOTO software AI built in
●DriveChat (powered by ChatGPT): natural-language answers, planning, and on-box voice commands (controls CB7BVF software, not your car’s native radio).
●TrackHU: device location, route history, and geofencing.
●CIotHub + BLE add-ons: pair Bluetooth accessories (e.g., OBD, smart lights) for control/status on the big screen.
●OBD app: see diagnostics from a compatible Bluetooth OBD adapter.
●FindApps downloader: curated access to select titles that may not appear in Google Play on in-vehicle devices.
7) Power stability updates
●Some head units’ USB ports can’t supply enough current, especially with accessories attached. Use the included Y-cable to draw power from a separate 12V USB fast-charge outlet while the data line stays in the CP/AA USB—this maximizes stability.
●OTA firmware adds features and fixes over time. Roadmap items include smarter DriveChat agents and AI Vision prompts using the camera view (e.g., gentle safety or reminder cues), plus OBD-aware tips.
Safety tip: Follow local laws. Keep video to passengers or when parked.

Buying guidance (quick take)
Choose CB7BVF if you want the most complete CB7 feature set in one box:
●Wireless CP/AA + Android 15 performance
●HDMI Out for passengers + HDMI In for consoles/sticks
●AHD DVR capability at 1080p/30fps
●5G data for phone-free connectivity
If you don’t need 5G, look at CB7BV (same I/O, LTE only). If you don’t need HDMI I/O, a non-“V” CB7 still gives you standard AHD DVR with a lower price.

Bottom line
CB7BVF is the do-it-all CB7: it cuts the cord for CP/AA, layers on a fast Android 15 desktop, drives second screens and accepts external HDMI sources, and records from an AHD camera at 1080p/30—all while staying online through built-in 5G/LTE with app-based data activation. Accessories are modular and sold separately, so you can build exactly the setup you want.
