ATOTO A6G2A7KL Double Din Android Car Stereo with KarLink In-Dash Navigation

Nicholas and Courtney: I bought this as a replacement for an old double-DIN Kenwood stereo in my kid's truck, primarily to address two deficiencies (in my opinion) of the OEM and Kenwood stereo:
* I wanted them to have a backup camera for safety reasons.
* They wanted Bluetooth connectivity for their phone.

This stereo took care of both issues quite easily.
I also purchased the ATOTO backup camera and the installation and connection was very straightforward and uncomplicated, as long as you are good with running some wire from the back of the vehicle to the front.
The stereo has built-in Bluetooth, and it functions as expected.

As for the install, the stereo is quite thin and light, which made for an easier install than the previous Kenwood head unit. I used a third-party wiring harness so I could make all of the wiring connections on my workbench so that the install required simply connecting two plugs after mounting the stereo.

As for the operation, this stereo runs an older version of Android, so if you are at all familiar with the OS it will be very easy to use. If not, it won't take long to figure out. Everything is fully customizable.

As for the support,...

Todd a: It's so painfully slow. It runs on Android 6 which went end of life in Sept. 2019. Atoto has no plans to ever update it. Their claim about regular firmware updates is a flat out lie. They have never released a single firmware update and their support says there is nothing in progress. Android 6 means that all apps in Play Store are very out of date since most developers dropped support for Android 6 years and years ago.

Everything about this thing is just slow and frustrating.
Examples:
* Reverse camera, looks great but takes so long to switch that you are done backing up by the time you can see it
* My WiFi 2.4Ghz network can usually hit 200Mbps no problem. Radio seems to max out at 10Mbps even with a full strength signal
* FM radio app is a confusing mess that makes no sense. I read through the instructions multiple times and finally was able to favorite a handful of stations but it takes 3-4 taps to get to that list. But you don't know what the station is. It doesn't always show you the frequency and instead shows random metadata that is meaningless.
* apps take forever to load. just not worth trying to open them.
* 2 second boot is an extreme...

Glenn: Radio was easy to install once I figured out Fords wiring. I ordered this particular unit because of the front and back camera inputs. I have hooked up the ATOTO rear camera and it works as advertised. The radio itself is feature packed. The user interface works good although a few items are not discussed in the manual, like how to move icons around or delete them. I am still working on getting the dimming feature to work at night. I don't know if it is the car wiring input or the radio itself. Waze will not go to night mode unless it manually go from automatic to night and even then it sometimes takes two times for it to switch. So far the auto has not worked. The other thing that is not working is AM radio. No channels come through at all. I had to use an extender from the ford plug to the ATOTO radio socket. FM seems ok. I don't know if it is the antenna, the wiring, or the radio. I may buy another antenna. A work around is that while in Apple carplay or android auto you cannot listen to am or fm radio, so I downloaded I-heart radio and can now listen that way. So maybe I don't need the new antenna after all. Overall I am very pleased with this radio and this model. I would...

Dan Weaver: This radio was simple to set up, easy to install with the narrow chassis and looks pretty nice in the dash. Sound quality is as one would expect from a radio at this price range.
Having wifi connectivity makes updating the maps and other features easy by simply connecting to an available wifi network or Hotspot. The phone service works well and is easy to use. I do not have a rear camera so I can't comment on that. The picture quality on video playback is smooth and really clear. The only reduction I give it is the sound quality. It sounds ok but it is not a Kenwood or Pioneer sound quality unit. I didn't expect it to be for the price and available features. I'm still tweaking it so maybe the sound quality may get better. This thing has a bunch of settings and it may just be one that I am missing. They can also lose the retro tuner dial look. Digital is much cleaner looking in my opinion.
Still, it is a nice unit for the price.
