I review the ATOTO F7 Wireless Edition (WE) double din car stereo. This head unit comes with all the desirable features but does it do them well?

Damn dude. You're a natural at reviews. I took a peek at your other videos. Subscribed. Don't give up on this.

Atoto has an eBay account as well so sometimes you can find this head unit for well under $100 and optional accessories for really cheap money. I have a beat up Nissan that I use to travel back and forth for family and have been doing the "phone on the dashboard" nav setup and honestly, don't want the obstruction even if it is helpful. This video was great to show the features and give me some really good ideas on how to put a cheap but good nav setup in a car that honestly, putting an expensive system in would be foolish. Thanks for taking the time to film this, definitely subscribing!

Wow as I was searching for one you uploaded LOL. Did you have to soder anything for your 8th gen? Was it plug N play? And did you need to replace your dash to fit the new radio? I have a 07 Si so im really intrigued by this, looks clean, affordable, and i like the tactile buttons! Great video Rawrkee!

@Rawrkee Жыл бұрын

😂😂😂 I didn’t solder anything but I did put in a lot of work installing this head unit. I went with the Scosche double din dash kit, the Fiegromech wire harness because it included the harness for steering wheel controls, and the amplifier bypass harness to get rid of the white noise from the speaker. It can be a headache if you go all out like I did 😅 if you just do the car stereo, you might run into an issue where no sound comes from your speakers. If that happens, you have to give power to your car’s amp. I can help you with that if you get to that point. Just reach out on Instagram or comment on here

@essenceofemerald Жыл бұрын

Wow, never have I ever watched a review that answered all of my questions and was fully detailed. I was JUST about to buy this head unit, I even have the steering wheel control in my shopping cart still but went with a cheaper one (it's still a good unit, the Eonon X20 for $99, camera included, it was on sale). If I woulda seen this video yesterday, I would have went with this one hands down, especially with the custom wallpapers and carlink. I'm trying so hard right now not to convince myself to take out my unit and switch it. Thanks for the amazing video!🎉

@SerenoOunce 5 ай бұрын

I tried the X20. The audio was atrocious no matter how much you messed with the EQ. And your 'USER' adjustments are not saved if you try another preset after. + the WiFi and BT died 2'nd day after it was installed. Nice UI but the HU is garbage. And EONON's "official" YT vid showed to take it apart and cut the wires to disable the onboard Mic if opting to use an external. Also, a SWC adapter is redundant if car uses resistive controls. Only required if the signals go through the CAN Bus.

@Kyle19882770 Жыл бұрын

Love your video, sold me on the Atoto. Do i need a wiring harness to retain my steering wheel controls on my 2016 Kia Optima, or does this unit have a learn function? Also, can i hook into the factory backup camera or get an atermarket camera wired up? Thank you again for the very informative video.

@Rawrkee Жыл бұрын

Hey, glad you enjoyed the video! You can use a steering wheel control adapter: amzn.to/3N3dsk3 but this product is designed for popular brands and so you'll have to play around with setting it up. However, you can use the install guide on their website for your car that will show you what wires you need to connect from your car to the ATOTO head unit, this will save you money from having to buy the adapter. You'll only need to hook up 1 or 2 wires. Keep in mind, each time you unplug you car battery, you'll have to relearn the steering wheel control buttons. To my knowledge, the only way you can retain your factory rear camera is if there is a wiring harness for your car but in most cases you have to use an aftermarket camera. Usually, you can find a higher quality aftermarket camera that will look better than the factory camera. Hope this helps!!!

@Nostalgic64 11 ай бұрын

I got this and it was worth it. I used to have a no name brand radio and for about 4 years now till one day one of the wire burnt our, so I decided its time to upgrade. Was gonna buy a Sony radio that was about 300usd but no wireless android auto. So glad I found this video before purchasing it because this is cheaper and has about the same features, but has the wireless and android auto

That’s awesome! I’m actually working on a review on one as well, I know you’ll like it! If you’re not aware, on the fa5, there’s a light blue wire on an unused plug that is to power on the OEM amplifier. If you don’t give it power; you won’t get any audio. You simply give it power or you can opt for the Amplifier Bypass Harness. Good luck!

The 8th gen civic is a little tricky, especially if you have an Si. You simply need a dash kit for a double din car stereo and I recommend a wire harness unless you don’t mind chopping up your OEM harness.
