For reversing camera input, you can connect a specified ATOTO HD rearview camera to F7G2A7XE-S01 for 720P video display (most other car stereo brands can only process CVBS 480-600 lines video signals); For F7 XE car stereos, the specified rearview camera is AC-HD02LR (included); AC-HD03LR is not compatible
• 2 RCA Headrest Video Outputs; 4-CH RCA Audio Out (4v) for connecting to a factory/aftermarket amplifier; Separate Subwoofer Out (3v full range) One Micro SD slot - to store media files, up to 512GB; 2 USB interfaces - one for phone connection (CarPlay/Android Auto/AutoLink) and one for external storage devices and media playback. The latter reads up to 2TB SSD. Both SD & SSD must be in FAT32 or NTFS format

Vehicle Fit:

• True 7-inch screen. Typically, North American dashboard mounting frame suppliers (Metra, Scosche, PAC, etc.) provide double DIN mounting frames with a 174 mm*98 mm opening, limiting the screen size of aftermarket car stereos to 6.75-inch or smaller (false 7-inch). ATOTO is the first manufacturer to introduce true 7-inch Android car stereos with a minimal front panel size of 172 mm*97 mm (fitting the mounting frames commonly available). If needed, an extra frame adapter is also included to expand it to 178 mm*101.5 mm.
• The ISO Standard chassis size for double DIN car stereos is 178 mm*100 mm. In the case of the frontal faceplate, however, there is no such standard. As a result, many users have issues mounting car stereos from other brands with dash kits commonly available on the North America market. F7G2A7XE-S01, on the other hand, with its faceplate size of 172 mm*97 mm, is compatible with products from most North American dash kit brands (Metra, Scosche, PAC, etc.).
• The chassis is only 50-mm deep, shorter than the typical depth. Therefore, there is a larger space for cabling and other accessories. As this is a universal fit car stereo, extra accessories may be required to finish installation in a specific vehicle (not provided in the package). It is the buyer's responsibility to prepare them (if applicable). They may include (but are not limited to) a dash frame kit, a wiring harness, a radio antenna adapter, a data interface, etc.

WIRELESS CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto!

The advantages of CarPlay/Android Auto on F7 XE

1. Wireless is simply better:No more worries about where to put your plugged phone. No more search for a holder which you find to be superfluous anyway. No more entangled cords to distract you. Free at last!
2. Fast and automatic connection: For wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, the Bluetooth connection is quick. And after you make the connection for the first time, it will all be automatic. For wired CarPlay/Android Auto, once you plug your ios Phone/Android phone into the "Phone Link" port on F7 XE, it takes about 3 seconds for CarPlay/Android Auto to be automatically launched. A true plug-n-play function.
3. Stable data transmission: Thanks to the premium hardware inside, F7 XE is more than capable of delivering stable and reliable data transmission, both wirelessly (Wi-Fi) and wiredly (with USB), which is a strong bolster for you in driving.
4. Great Performance Across All CarPlay/Android Auto Functions: CarPlay/Android Auto has revolutionalized the way we drive by enabling us to safely use the ios Phone/Android phone while driving. Now we can make calls, send/receive messages, listen to music/radio/podcasts/news/audiobook... on the head unit while driving really conveniently. This, in turn, requires a head unit that can adequately meet the demands of these functions in terms of audio and visual performance. Regarding audio, on F7 XE, the max. 4*49Wamplifier with RMS 4*29W (Vcc=14.4v,THD=10%) makes sure that whether you are making a call, listening to your favorite music or podcasts and so on, you can hear things clearly at a comfortable volume, powerful yet without any distortion. And the included microphone? Well, in our own customer's exact words:"I'm told that the sound is very clear." Visually, the full HD 7" 1024*600 QLED screen (brightness 600cd/m2), other than its fantastic ultra-clear color rendition, offers great visibility even in broad daylight. Also, as a 5-touch capacitive touchscreen, it is easy and smooth to operate on.
5. You phone battery is finally safe: If you get in the car with low battery on your ios Phone/Android phone, and you start driving using CarPlay/Android Auto, on many head units with only wired CarPlay/Android Auto, after the trip, the battery is barely charged, if at all. This problem does not exist with F7 XE. The reasons are a). with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, you can drive using CarPlay/Android Auto while plugging your ios Phone/Android phone into the USB port dedicated for charging in your vehicle, or putting it on the charging dock station. b). with wired CarPlay/Android Auto, by design, F7 XE is equipped with advanced PMS to charge your ios Phone/Android phone quickly when you use wired CarPlay/Android Auto (plugged into the dedicated "Phone Link"port).
6. ATOTO F7 supports running CarPlay or Android Auto map navigation while playing FM/AM radio/USB music in the background. Be aware that not all car stereos can do this!
