There's a love/hate relationship with this head unit, when it works it's great but there's too many bugs for me to love it and would I recommend it to a friend, no. Reversing camera feed freezes thennsays no signal and had a few near misses, sometimes it likes to have the volume really low and no matter how high you put it there's no volume at all so you need to switch ignition off and on again. Had a pale blue screen 2 times now needing a reset done and customer service has been pretty poor on this issue. It can also run slow depending on whats on in the background however it should be able to run google play music and maps without running so slow. On a plus it does look slick and when working it's great but the lack of reliability means I don't recommend.

ATOTO A6 Pro review The ATOTO A6 Pro is an Android In-Car Entertainment system providing all the functionality of a traditional Sat Nav & Multimedia car radio system together with the capability of running Android apps. The model under review is the A6Y2721PRB from a range of similar units with varying features offered by ATOTO. It has the better 7” IPS screen and physical buttons in a universal double din case, which fits a standard fascia opening when installed with the appropriate vehicle specific fitting kit. I also fitted the ATOTO DAB+ USB adapter. Although the Android software is only version 6 the unit does benefit from ATOTO specific firmware of which the most recent version 9.5.1 was installed. This firmware is regularly updated by ATOTO to address bugs and enhance functionality. The specific functions I was expecting this unit to provide were a FM/DAB radio, Sat Nav with Live Traffic and a music player. Live Traffic meant that the unit also had to be able to maintain a connection to the internet when route guidance was in use. I installed the unit in a Fiat Ducato XLWB panel van which has been converted to a campervan (this vehicle is known as a Ram ProMaster in the USA) and it is in this context which I have reviewed the unit. Installation The unit came with a comprehensive collection of cables, antennas and ISO wiring harnesses to facilitate the installation of the unit. The only additional items needed were a vehicle specific ISO wiring harness, aerial connection converters and a fascia panel which can all be purchased as a complete kit. Once the original unit was removed the most challenging tasks were deciding where to position the external microphone, GPS antenna & wifi antenna and then routing their cables back to the unit. The wiring was mostly plug and play with some additional connections for the steering wheel controls and handbrake sensor. The only point to note is that a choice must be made between the two ISO harnesses supplied with the unit to suit the way the accessory and battery feeds are connected in the vehicle specific ISO harness. The wiring diagram in the supplied manual shows the wiring connections needed. Once everything is connected there is quite a collection of wires and connectors which need to be carefully arranged within the vehicle fascia before the unit is inserted. A benefit of not having a CD/DVD player is that the unit is shorter that many units and this helps with getting everything neatly into place. Commissioning The first time the unit is turned on it will take approximately 30-40 secs to boot up. If the correct choice of ISO harness has been made subsequent restarts will take less than a couple of secs unless the unit has been turned off for more than a few days when it will take 30-40 secs to reboot. Each of the individual apps that you chose to use will need to be configured. Ideally the unit should have internet access and the Google Play app signed on with a valid id while this is done so that it can check that the Android software is up to date. If a preferred app was not preloaded it will need to be downloaded from Google Play. In my case I wanted to choose the Sygic Truck Navigation app as I preferred routing guidance which respected the dimensions and weight of my vehicle. First impressions Once the unit had booted I could see that the screen was bright and clear with good viewing angles. The arrangement of the icons and widgets forming the standard launcher could be easily re-configured as required and with the maximum sized screen that it is possible to fit within 2DIN dimensions there is plenty of display space. The unit responded without lag to touch input or button pushes which themselves had a positive click action and being part of the lower bezel of the unit were easily located while the vehicle was moving. Across the bottom of the display was a bar containing icons for back, home, recents, notifications, equalizer profiles, brightness and mute together with a digital clock. So far as I could tell this bar is part of the ATOTO firmware and can not be changed. In practice I found it to be quite useful particularly in a moving vehicle when these icons could be precisely located by resting a finger on the lip of the bottom bezel. Touching a seek button on the radio widget turned it on and had it find a station. The sound produced using the default DSP settings was of of good quality and equally as good as that produced by the Kenwood unit it replaced. Radio The standard tuner is an integrated AM/FM/RDS tuner controlled by a proprietary app. The app has a simple interface that controls all the essential features. Favourite stations can be saved and named for direct access. As the app is proprietary it cannot be changed but this limitation aside it performed well receiving and maintaining reception of stations in all areas with reasonable signal strength. A DAB+ adapter is an ATOTO option which I selected. An app to control the reception of D...
