Two hidden menu reachable. This two is named "OEM Settings". One is for mic adjustment, and one for other things.

Just go to "Setting" -> "About device" . In there tap some times the "Model Number", I think, or an other. I can't remember, what exatly. This pickup the "OEM Settings" where You can input a password.

The two password is 1238 for MIC settings, and 1617 for other hidden settings.
No other hidden setting menu, just this two.

I love the stereo but I can not make the steering wheel work with axxess ASWC-1 does anyone have any suggestions of what can I do?

What kind of vehicle steering wheel controls does your vehicle have? If it's a simple resistance circuit, then the ATOTO should have native support. If the vehicle uses a digital interface for SWC (e.g., CAN) then you probably need ASWC-1 or similar to make it work. This web site has some details on car steering wheel systems that might be helpful: http://www.exinterface.com/an1055/?ckattempt=1

Does the atoto a6 pro have a farka z type GPS connector? The pictures look like it but it is hard to tell. If so would I be able to use my cars GPS antenna?

 

[Paxie]

is there anyway we can re-map the buttons? Like I would like to re-map/switch the volume +/- (increase volume for the right-button, and decrease volume for left-button)? Or switch the Home and Mute button as it is closer to the driver side. TIA

Yes, the ATOTO A6 connectors for both WiFi and GPS are fakra-style connectors, although they are keyed differently. I'm not totally sure which keying ATOTO used for GPS, but I *think* they used "D". This is a link to the various standard fakra keyings:

If your car's GPS antenna uses the same keying as the ATOTO, then you should be good to go. If not, then use the provided ATOTO GPS antenna.

Yes, there is a way you can re-program the function for each of the front physical buttons on the A6 Pro. There is a description on the ATOTO support site (you need an account over there to access) for details on how to do this. http://support.myatoto.com/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=38&id=187
I haven't tried this myself, but it seems ATOTO supports it.

Hi thanks for the reply. Yes, I joined that support site too, tried that setting but I believe it is for steering wheel control (if there is any connected), but mine does not have SWC. I tried the steps see if it will work with the front button, but it's not working. It just keeps blue highlighted even I pressed the button I wanted to re-map.

Tried few remapping apps as well, but it's not working as well.

I tried those instructions and confirm they don't seem to work for the ATOTO A6 Pro. I do have the steering wheel buttons all programmed and working. However that screen doesnt respond when I press the panel button that is to be mapped (it also doesn't respond if I press one of the steering wheel buttons). I do believe that page is supposed to be for reprogramming the front panel keys. So either the functionality if broken, or maybe it never worked on the A6 Pro. Sorry for directing you at something that doesn't work.

another question regarding screen autobrightness connected to "ILL" wire. I have this setup and working very well, it adjust the screen brightness whenever headlight is turned on/off.

do you guys know how this auto brightness works or how it is triggered by ILL wire? Planning to use that as tasker event as well in relation to Emil's Android Auto Emulator (to set Day and Night mode). BTW, I would recommend that app for everyone who has atoto as it works very well.

 

[jackohound]

Hi @Paxie. You seem to be getting some good response from Emil in the other thread. From my viewpoint, the ATOTO auto screen brightness works great, including when running Andrioid Auto via the Head Unit Reloaded emulator you mentioned. That is, the Andriod Auto screen dims nicely when I turn on the headlights. I dont have any details how ATOTO implements the ILL functionality.

Atoto a 6 pro bluetooth issue

Hello guys, i have a big problem with bluetooth dialer, when i say "ok google" voice command, work only for maps and apps but don't call, don't write messages...
I look for an apk that interface google and native dialer and i found tmc dialer...so this apk don't work on this atoto chipset version.
Have you fixed that? Calling someone with hands free is primary.
Thank you in advance

Hi maurizyo85, I suggest you install headunit reloaded (Android Auto Emulator) by Emil for hands free voice calling. I have google assistant installed on Atoto A6 too but all it does is voice command to open apps or search/navigate. I even have the Atoto steering wheel control installed but it has simple functionality:
- media next/prev (does not even have a play/pause),
- end and answer button (but will no way to at least a function to re-dial previous call)
- volume up/down
- voice command button (I have it assigned triggers google assistant but no beep sound to determine that assistant is activated). Again, i have it useful for opening app like "play my private on <spotify>" or navigate to nearest gas station. I have it to work as well on my smart devices at home like "Turn on my living room lights". Again no voice command or hands free calls. Edit: Hands-free/Remote Mic Button call works as long as Atoto is not connected to internet, so either you give up internet on Atoto to gain voice call or access internet without it.

So I end up using Emil's Headunit reloaded to run Android Auto and it works fine with voice command:
- Call someone like "Ok google, call home"
- Smart device "Ok google turn on dining room"
- navigate "ok google navigate to nearest gas station"

So far that 3 above are the most frequently used for me so I end up with Android Auto.

Hope this helps.

I second @Maurizyo85's suggestion about using Android Auto for hands free calling over bluetooth. The ATOTO A6 Pro is a good unit, but I think using Android Auto is a much better experience than using the ATOTO apps for hands free calling and music playback. I also use Emil's Head Unit Reloaded which works well. In addition to what was already listed, these are a few other of my regular driving commands:
"Ok google, Play [insert your favorite artist]"
"Ok Google, Send a text message to [insert your contact name]"
"OK Google, Set a reminder for [insert whatever and whenever]"
"OK Google, Listen to the news"

Yo, well I have 2 issues, first of all when I put in reverse music keep playing at same lvl. My old bs mms that was stock had lowering sound feature.

Thank you for answering i install emil head unit reloaded but when i connect with usb cable or with wifi i have a blackscreen....after few seconds return to home screen...i suppose is a dpi resolution issue? Have you same problem?

 

[REDUTOPIAxda]

I don't understand without Android auto and the car dongle usb, is it possibile call with "ok google calls home"?

For controlling the music level in reverse, there is a setting for this, although on my A6 Pro this setting doesn't seem to have any effect. I know the reverse signal is connected properly from my car to the ATOTO because when I shift into reverse, the backup camera is activated.

For the quick charging, my phone (Pixel2) does not switch into fast charging mode even when connected to the fast charging ATOTO port. My phone does fast charge at home. Maybe the fast charge doesn't work on A6 Pro?
