20-30 seconds is the time for a cold start. There a two wires, one for a connection directly to 12V+ (battery) and one for the ignition. You have to connect both.

 

[BranMakMorn]

Yeah, find that out by myselv... Thanks anyway..
Only thing is, what about the Battery Life...
Car is now for 5 Days in the Garage, 2 more, and I´ll check if the car still start...

 

[scorpie67]

If I lock my car the amp shows 20mA after a while, I think it takes some time for all the control units to sleep/standby or what everyou will call it

Happy new year friends,

my atoto a6 pro A6Y2721PRB bluetooth 1 connects just fine with my huawei phones, pair status connected. When I try to play music nothing can be heard.

last time I had this issue , I restarted to factory settings but , once again it has failed on me.

Any idea how to get it fixed?

Anyone suggest how to keep it from killing my battery. im working only a few days a week, and it seems i need to jump my car every time. the unit does go into standby when i pull the key out the ignition. But the bottom left button that has a little power icon doesnt really turn it off regardless how long it is held in.

ATOTO A6 Pro A6Y2721PR Is there a way to rotate screen from landscape to portrait and then back? I have downloaded an off-roading mapping app and it displays in landscape which is great most of the time. Need to be able to rotate to portrait sometimes to access menu buttons on app. These screen shots are from phone so you can see app buttons in portrait. Atoto currently displays in landscape like top screen shot.

Is there any way to fully shut down the A6 Pro on demand? I tried to install an app that shows the power menu and I managed to power it off but then after few seconds it boots itself back again. I need to do that because I'm using the car only once a week nowadays for a short drive, which isn't enough to charge the battery much and because of that, the 7 days of inactivity never come, so the A6 Pro never goes into deep sleep and keeps chopping the voltage slowly. Any idea?

I just installed atoto a6 into a ford f450 2011.
Soldered all wires that came with the wiring harness to a wiring harness for my truck.
When i plug the wiring harness in the buttons flash blue...breifly....then if i hold the display so that the sun shines on it i can see the animation that is displayed during start up. Then i can very faintly see the home screen. But it goes blank after about 5 seconds. What could my problem be?

Hello!
I have recently bought and installed the A6YVW710PB model on my Skoda Yeti (it should be the same Golf VI platform).
With the original Skoda radio I had a menu Audio on the MFD showing radio frequency, track number or name, etc.
Now, with Atoto HU, that menu doesn't show anymore.
I tried to change the canbus parameter on the Atoto hidden menu but nothing changed.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Thanks
Fabio

P.S. the sw version is: AICE OS 9.6 2019-11-12 - MCU ver is: 2019-11-25 3AD0

No one experienced this?
Thanks

You could put a switch on the yellow cable and link the red wire to the fuse box.

I agree. Installing a switch on the yellow wire would completely disconnect the ATOTO from your battery. Otherwise, I'm not aware of any menu option on ATOTO that will force a full shutdown earlier than the "7 days of inactivity".

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?

Hi I have an adapter for SWC, I'm planning to buy Atoto A6, were you able to use SWC with your radio? My car is Kia Rio sedan 2013, had Joying radio, complete crap

 

[neverhighalwayslow]

Hi just installed an a6 into my car and got it all set up. Only thing I can't seem to figure out is if there is a way to rearrange the apps in the actual apps menu, not just on the home screen. Talking about the menu that is brought up by pressing the middle square with 6 dots that shows all of your apps.

Been running this for a couple years, and overall it's really good!

However, couple things I'd like to fix.

First, the audio quality. I have it hooked up to my factory amplified system wired up to the wiring harness on the back of the deck. However, it seems to be missing a lot of the low end and the audio is very "flat" even with the low end raised in the equalizer. The factory amp sends the low end to the door speakers, and while they are working they aren't nearly as high volume as they normally would.

With the factory stereo (or any other aftermarket stereo), the door speakers have enough bass coming out to vibrate the outside mirror. Not the case with this even at max volume. Normally you can "feel" a decent amount of bass, but absolutely none at max volume. Its like listening to music on my tv.

If I were to use the RCA outputs, would that maybe fix my issue? I also have a separate equalizer I could run it through that I purchased when I attempted to mount a tablet in the dash. The car only takes 2 inputs (1 left and 1 right), and it splits it up among the 6 speakers accordingly.

Second, for the camera.

I have an RCA camera I'm trying to hook up as a dash cam. I have the power wire on the radio end of the harness hooked up to the reverse camera + cable on the harness. Then the power/ground on the camera end of the harness to the radio switched power source and the radio ground.

When I plug it into the reverse camera input, it shows the camera view on the screen. Works fine, aside I can't exit that view at all.

When I plug it into either of the other two video inputs, it automatically goes to show it on the screen (similar to a backup camera) but it shows a black screen with a triangle and exclamation mark. I also cannot exit this screen until I disconnect the camera from the power source.

If I leave the camera end hooked up to power/ground, and disconnect the wire connected to the reverse camera + wire on the harness, the camera apps don't recognize a camera.

Hopefully that's not too confusing.

This implies that you’ve successfully used other aftermarket head units, yet you aren’t really clear on what sort of input your factory amp is expecting or how to hook it up. I say this because you’re asking a technical question without providing enough details about your setup to enable anyone to provide a useful answer.

When you say “the car only takes 2 inputs (1 left and 1 right)…” I’m guessing it wants line-level stereo input (2-channel stereo). Normally this would be sourced from your ATOTO’s front channel RCA outputs. My guess is your factory head unit sends the positive L & R signals on 2 wires (what you’re calling “inputs”) along with a common signal ground on a third wire.

Here’s the thing. Factory amps are designed only for factory head units. They don’t have standard I/O ports with a choice to use high-level or low-level inputs with knobs to adjust gain or crossover frequencies… They only really work well with a specific head unit connected in a specific way. Change the head unit and you’re on your own with wishful thinking. Aftermarket wiring harnesses for your car can be useful and will generally steer you in the direction of the using either RCA inputs for amp integration (cross your fingers) or high-level speaker outputs going directly to the car’s speakers.

I don’t know what your talking about on the dash cam stuff (I’ve only used the backup camera with mine).

I have the car specific harness for the car. (2005 Dodge Magnum RT)

It's a factory Boston acoustics system, and the previous radio I had was the Pioneer Appradio, and it sounded better than the factory unit. However, it lacked the functionality I wanted hence going to an android unit.

The car takes only 2 inputs as the amp is designed to control the fade, etc and send specific ranges to certain speakers (for example low end to the doors, high end to the dash)

So I'm just wondering if the RCA outputs would have a better/more whole sound compared to the wiring from the stereo harness. The pioneer deck I took the output from the wiring harness (can't recall if it had RCA)

 

[bmeek]

Well, it seems odd that it works at all if it wasn’t hooked up about right. Have you accidentally set a high pass filter on the ATOTO by turning on its subwoofer output? Have you set the ATOTO’s “listening position” (the stupid UI for adjusting balance and fade) to 100% front and center?
