Hello @lifewithabox were you able to install a new frame to cover the gaps on the side? Please share link or part number I also have an Element, thanks in advance
MY REVIEW: I have it installed in my 03 TL-S. (I had a 7" JVC Double Din previously) Pros: Great screen res, good sound quality, easy to use. My Cons: I have tried 3 different (all new) micro SD cards that work for a day or two - then stops working and is not recognized by the unit. I plug the cards in other devices and they work without issue. The screen gets extremely hot - like amplifier hot. Start up time and Carplay takes a long time to connect. Overall: Good unit for the price.
I don't have the boot logo option, how do you activate it? Edit: I contacted customer service and they solved the problem for me, you just have to follow the instructions below F7 series car radio can choose its own boot logo. You can refer to the following steps to set it up. 1). Click the vehicle Seettings application to enter the setting interface. 2). Click to enter the System Settings page. 3). Click on the Date & Time page. 4). Set the time to 2008-01-08 01:08 24H. 5). Click the back button on the header page to exit to the Settings interface, and click on the Dispiay Settings page. 6). On the Dispiay Settings page, pull down the progress bar on the right to the bottom option, and click on the Boot Logo Settings page. 7). Enter the Boot Logo Settings page. Have a nice day!
Hello, in your opinion, do you think the audio quality is good? Do you think an Atoto is worth buying compared to a Pioneer or a well-known brand of car audio? I'm not sure about the sound quality
I have one . If everything else behind the radio is nice it will sound very good. I paired this radio with 4 new door speakers , new inside amp. And a subwoofer/ second amp in trunk. It sounds beautiful. I’m sure if I had a pioneer or something double the price it would sound SLIGHTLY better.
Do you still like this stereo? I have an 05 EX Element I just bought with factory everything. I bought a new amp and sub for the floor but I’m still looking at stereos. Is this one worth it?
mirror link, I recently installed this unit and it was easy to do, the usb on the back connect via a wire to ur phone and you can screenshare, perfect for movies, shows, anything you want to show on your phone will show up on the screen.
@@bilalsyed6 mine don't have an extender and yup just plugged my phone to it w rhe original Samsung cable , also what's the wifi antenna for? To load apps onto the din? I'm new to this din
Great video, thank you. I saw this Q in a thread but no answer. Were you able to install a new frame to cover the gaps on the side? Do you happen to have a link? Fellow Element owner here.
I just installed this radio. Do you know how to adjust the navigation so it automatically decreases the volume for the radio or music apps when saying the directions?
Hi... I have the exact same unit but wireless Android Auto doesn't work as the unit is refusing to acknowledge the wifi password. So neither wireless CarPlay nor A.Auto is working even after resetting both the unit and my phone. Do you have any idea where I can get firmware updates?
@@aaronchaddick5154 if you have a Sirius Xm subscription it will work off your phone app for Sirius xm On the new radio there is a Sirius xm app that you would use. I hooked the new radio up to the existing car antenna and it works fine.
Trash ......DO NOT BUY .... Hardly any Audio adjustment settings, Sounds awful. Its laggy , does not work with steering wheel controls and Android Auto does not work even with phone plugged in , garbage and will be returning
Freaking funny as hell it's a Chinese company trying not to sound like Chinese, paking has big Japanese letters and the brand name to sound like Japanese. Guess lacking some serious self-esteem lol
Basically an interesting video only spoilt by the orators poor diction as he rolled his words together & spoke far too fast & absolutely flipped through all of the various features plus he made the odd technical mistake on a couple of occassions. I'm wanting to buy this type of unit & hence my requirement for better clarification of some of the features that he did not handle or express very well!! Otherwise a mediocre video offering & therefore I'll no doubt need to search further for a higher quality video presentation of this particular head unit!!
Built in Apple Carplay YES, Built in Android Auto YES, Under $300 YES
And wireless, too!
@@SamuelSalzman HOW do you conect AA wireless?
Annoying background music in this video YES.

I ordered mine and my double din install kit for my 2005 Element. Nice to see what it will look like in my E. =)
how is it holding up?
I have the same year, how do you like it? Do you have the built in sub?
My Grandson put this in my 2006 Silverado and its working amazingly.
what mount?

@kelvin Mendez I had to update my SOC file to get that option.
@@shaunwilkenscan u elaborate? I just got mine in
once you have changed the boot theme are you able to change time back to todays date?
No getting mines to work
I have the WE one
I cried when I heard the weather I’m from florida lol
Nice video, but why play that annoying background music loop?
Hi.. one question. When you use Apple car play with cable. The phone recharges?
Hi yes when you use the cable with apple car play it charges your phone.
Ok thanks.. and where you position the usb out car play cable?
Can you do a guide on how to wire up the harness? Also have an Element here
hi thx for the informative video! is this a normal 2 din size?
This is a 1 din size but comes with plates to fit a 2 din slot. Hope this helps
Good video 10/10
Should I go with an ATOTO or a Sony headunit?
No question go Sony. These are cheap crap.
does this have screen mirroring ?
Yes you can connect directly to your phone via USB cable for screen mirroring.
Bonjourcla vidéo très bien explique bonne vidéo à vous😊
I was thinking about this one or the Jenson one haven’t made my mind up yet
I think Atoto is much better than Jenson...............
Which is better the a6pf or the 7
i just installed the F7 XE and its good even though its not android i think its Linux base OS but they said android unit is better

Isn't loud enough even at max for my door speakers and with amp tuned down
Have you checked actual precut voltages? They claim 4v and 3v for sub, curious if it actually is.
Do you still like this stereo? I have an 05 EX Element I just bought with factory everything. I bought a new amp and sub for the floor but I’m still looking at stereos.
Is this one worth it?
Is it also a DVR for saving front video camera like a dashcam,?
Great video! What is the usb that's attached to the back of the atoto for?
mirror link, I recently installed this unit and it was easy to do, the usb on the back connect via a wire to ur phone and you can screenshare, perfect for movies, shows, anything you want to show on your phone will show up on the screen.
And android auto while charging your phone at the same time. Install it available out the front of the dash.
@@bilalsyed6 mine won't hook up after I plug in my phone, I got an android is there something I gotta do?
@@joeroe2839 are u using the usb from the back of the device? Did u connect the usb extender it came with?
@@bilalsyed6 mine don't have an extender and yup just plugged my phone to it w rhe original Samsung cable , also what's the wifi antenna for? To load apps onto the din? I'm new to this din
if i already have after market subs is it easy to connect to the head unit?
yes just plug and play
Great video, thank you. I saw this Q in a thread but no answer. Were you able to install a new frame to cover the gaps on the side?
Do you happen to have a link? Fellow Element owner here.
I am curious on this too for my versa note.
I just installed this radio. Do you know how to adjust the navigation so it automatically decreases the volume for the radio or music apps when saying the directions?
The Apple car play doesn’t work on mine and idk why
Why are there too many kinds of f7 series? Fe, se, we...
They have additional feature. WE has wireless Android Auto, XE offers qled screen and satellite radio etc.
Which is better fe xe we and do all 3 come with Sirius satelite option
can i use it with my android phone for android auto without any adapter in wireless mode?
yes
@@bilalsyed6 thank you
Does anyone know how to fix if after connecting wires my atoto won't turn on?
Need more info but where did you connect the red wire? Some harnesses have the power line seperate
Does this unit play FLAC files?
did this work with your factory subwoofer?
Did you get an answer?
What about how the audio sounds?
Audio sounds fine
Hi, is it true that the maps get stuck sometime (car icon isn't moving) and you had to reset the system like go back to main menu and come back?
Hey which maps app are you referring to?
Hi... I have the exact same unit but wireless Android Auto doesn't work as the unit is refusing to acknowledge the wifi password. So neither wireless CarPlay nor A.Auto is working even after resetting both the unit and my phone. Do you have any idea where I can get firmware updates?
I had to change the password in the Atoto stereo and then manually enter that password into my phone.
Use Bluetooth to make the connection for wireless Android Auto
Radios play music yet none was played.
Mine doesn't show the boot logo setting :(
do a google search on how to do it, it is related to the date settings
Dose atoto have Google play store installed?
No. It is a Linux based system.
Can you download youtube app to watch videos or movie?
You can mirror your phone to the screen to watch movies.
I got it to screen mirror but once I open RUclips and try to mirror the video it won’t play. Any advice?
How do I remove the password? I have to put a password in everytime I start the car.
Sirius XM?
The F7 XE comes with the Sirius app
But not the hardware needed for Sirius XM
@@anguslean4058What hardware is needed? Will it work with my OEM SiriusXM antenna? (2011 Hyundai Sonata)
@@aaronchaddick5154 if you have a Sirius Xm subscription it will work off your phone app for Sirius xm
On the new radio there is a Sirius xm app that you would use.
I hooked the new radio up to the existing car antenna and it works fine.
This doesn't get loud enough for my door speakers even at max and after tuning down my apm and sub.... disappointed
I don’t have an amp
And it gets plenty loud in the Jeep
Is it me or does the screen look incredibly unresponsive?
No the screen is pretty responsive
It’s a little slower on the initial boot up
But after it is pretty snappy
How about mic quality ? Do you having problem with mic like in this video ruclips.net/video/KRguTi4e-5k/видео.html ?
Mic works well with phone calls. need to make sure the mic is close, i have mine mounted right behind the steering wheel.
@@lifewithabox can you do a video testing the call options? This is the biggest complaint with this unit. I am curious too if it has been resolved.
Trash ......DO NOT BUY .... Hardly any Audio adjustment settings, Sounds awful. Its laggy , does not work with steering wheel controls and Android Auto does not work even with phone plugged in , garbage and will be returning
It has an EQ
It sounds fine
It’s not laggy
And the steering wheel control works great
It’s actually amazingly responsive
Freaking funny as hell it's a Chinese company trying not to sound like Chinese, paking has big Japanese letters and the brand name to sound like Japanese. Guess lacking some serious self-esteem lol
Ikr, reminds me of tiktok voice which does the same
