I recently purchased this new A7G209PKL and replaced my older A6G2A7PF. Nothing was wrong with my old unit I was just passing it down to another vehicle. I installed it into my 2012 scion XB. I was happy to find that it uses the same wiring harness as my old unit so I didn’t have to swap much out. It did have a different cable containing the SIM card holder that also connected to my sub. Swapped the USB cables too because there was an extra one. But nothing more needed to be rewired.I’ve been using it for a couple weeks now and am really happy with it. The display is more vibrant than the old. It’s just more pleasing to look at. I was surprised by the sound improvement, which I wasn’t expecting. My old unit I felt I was always messing with the equalizer as every song would come in different. It can be wired to work with your steering wheel controls which can be programmed through the unit.I use android auto which works great. But the home screen almost makes me want to use a hot spot from my phone instead as it looks sleeker and responds better than android auto. I found a cheap data plan that I intend to use on it to supplement when phones are unavailable.I had a minor issue with a message that would pop up saying Emergency recording in progress. Support was quick to respond, even with the holiday. We found it was a dash cam DVR setting set to record when it senses shock. It was comforting to know that they have a team to help support these devices.My car has a 7 inch bay and I was curious if I was going to have to modify my trip piece to fit this unit. But It comes with a bracket that installs in the bay and the actual head unit can be pushed in after and screwed in place. I think this might be common with these larger displays but I wasn’t aware of it. I’ve included an image to show how it screws into place.

This is a very nice unit. I upgraded from a 7" head unit to a 9" inch head unit with android 13. The screen resolution is great for videos and shows quite a bit brighter than my previous unit. The equalizer takes a bit of getting used to but once dialed in it sounds great. I have a custom sound system with multiple amps and being able to control the subwoofer output is a great option. There's a ton of features and limitless apps to download. I don't use android auto or car play because I like to use the music and navigation apps directly on the head unit. The reason for the 4 stars is because the new unit doesn't allow you to toggle the amplifier on and off in the settings like the previous head unit. That won't be a problem for most people but it's something that I found useful. I reached out to Atoto by email and they promptly responded. They sent my concern to the engineers and hopefully they can add the feature in a future update. Overall this thing is great and packed with features.
