F7 WE

It's been a few months now since I installed this head unit, I've tried to wait a bit so I can fully review it not just comment on the install. But first the install. It is relatively straight forward, at least in my opinion. I installed this to a Hyundai i10, so I did have to buy some adaptors and fascia replacements seeing as this car doesn't use a standard double DIN head unit. But even with this the head unit itself is pretty straight forward. It's just plug in all the different cables and route a couple of things like the microphone up through the A pillars (be careful, my car doesn't have air bags here so it was fine for me to do this, you may have to plan different cable routing) and under the ceiling felt. Now I won't go on too much about the install, as I guess it varies from car to car but as I say from my experience it was relatively simple... All the issues I had came down to my car not the head unit. This is from the point of view of someone who hasn't worked in cars before but is happy to do a bit of wiring with things like computers. My one complaint is that the USB cable that comes out the back of it is quite short. Which might suit some people but did make it more difficult for me to run it exactly where I wanted. I was still able to route it down into the passenger foot well though which has turned out fine because I'm entirely using it wirelessly anyway. So as for the connectivity, I went for this because it supports wired or wireless android auto. I initially thought I'd have to use wired, because as a new driver I have a black box, so my phone always needs to be connected to this. It's turned out fine though and I'm able to be connected to this and the head unit at the same time. So that's great. Now in terms of features, I only really use 2 things. Android auto and the reverse camera. Android auto pretty much handles everything for me, maps, music and any messages/calls I get (which by the way is a great feature as it will give you the option to read your message to you and then you can speak your reply). Then I wired up the reversing camera with the trigger wire so as soon as I shift the car into reverse the camera automatically comes up. One thing I have noticed is when you go into reverse if you have music playing it does lower the volume until you come back out of reverse. Although I'm guessing this is a safety feature? Another thing worth mentioning is the buttons. This is another reason I went for this head unit, because I wanted physical buttons for things like volume. These work great and are much easier than trying to press something on a screen like some other options. Although the touch screen on this unit is still great and works well. The only thing I have noticed is I have had 2 times now when the head unit has randomly turned off when driving. Although it then turns back on after a couple of seconds. Now I'm not going to mark the unit down for this, because I do now know the reason. It might be to do with the unit itself or it could be my wiring or even the car. Either way something to mention. One of the times though was quite a hot day so I'm not sure if it might have just overheated or something? But I am not sure. So overall, the head unit looks great. Functions great. And just overall is great. Definitely something I'd consider buying again if I got another car without Android Auto. Highly recommend.

I put one of these in my Toyota Yaris 2011 Mk2 and it works without issue. Installation is fairly simple, once you have the bracket as that comes with the exact cable/adaptor you need. I replaced the original Yaris stereo with it. CarPlay is ok, wouldn’t say the best as it does lag but it’s not really an issue given the price. The screen is very responsive, and isn’t a resistive touchscreen like the older Nintendo DS screens. It’s the same type of touchscreen as your iPhone or Android. Sound quality bangs, I have no complaints. The fit is perfect, literally no complaints. It’s a cheap way of getting integrated CarPlay without having to rely on Bluetooth transmitters or those CarPlay screens that use suction cups and the rely on a Bluetooth transmitter or AUX for audio to your car speakers. This one works great. The time for it to connect to CarPlay is very fast too, and is automatic. Once you connect it initially, you’ll be able to leave your phone in your pocket and start the car and drive off without touching the phone once as it just connects and starts up CarPlay/Android Auto automatically. You can even change the logo of the boot logo to your cars brand, so it feels like it came with the car and was never replaced. It modernises the Yaris MK2, Waze on CarPlay/Android Auto is a godsend. This is genuinely perfect, especially for those who have a Yaris as their first car as they don’t have to shell out for those awful plastic phone holders. Highly recommend if you can find for a bargain

Got this for the van to get wireless Apple Carplay. The stereo was easy to fit, it’s easy to use and fast. Found that connecting phone via WiFi to the stereo rather than bluetooth is faster and more stable - on Bluetooth it would often crash when using Apple music, maps and then I got a phone call - not sure if it was my phone or the stereo but as I have a 14 Pro, I assume it’s the stereo. No crashing since using WiFi though. Sound is good - it’s in a van with standard speakers so nothing exciting. It connects on it’s own first time every time I turn the van on. Siri works well. Still using the built in mic as I’ve been lazy but it works very well. One annoying thing is the headlight trigger. Every stereo I have ever fitted uses a 12v trigger to turn on night mode. This however is inverted, so needs a 12v trigger to say it’s daytime, then when the 12v goes, it’s night mode. Most cars I’ve seen put out 12v when turning the lights on. So this stereo was always in night mode with my lights off, then when I turn my lights on, it’s in day mode - very annoying and they could have put an option in the settings to fix this. Apart from that, it’s been good value for money. I do wish it came with a cage for fitting too, that’s annoying. Screen is bright and responsive, menus are fast and apple car play works very well!

I installed the ATOTO F7 WE 7" Double DIN Car Stereo in my daughter’s car, and I’m extremely happy with the results. Installation was straightforward with clear instructions — everything went smoothly without any complications. The wireless CarPlay feature is fantastic. It connects quickly and works flawlessly every time, with no lag or connection issues. The user interface is responsive and intuitive, making it a great upgrade from the factory system. I also installed the ATOTO AC-HD02LR 720P Rearview Camera alongside the stereo, and it was just as easy to set up. The image quality is excellent, and the integration with the stereo is seamless. Overall, I’m very impressed with ATOTO. The quality of their products exceeded my expectations, and their customer service has been top-notch. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a reliable and affordable stereo upgrade.

It worked great for a day, then it started occasionally freezing, and now it won't connect to android auto at all. I bought it for my van, funny enough my phone connects to my other car without problems useless

Eingebaut wurde das Atoto F7 in ein Fiat Ducato Wohnmobil X250. Der Einbau war eine kleine „Challenge“ was aber nicht an Atoto sondern am Wohnmobilhersteller lag (für dein Einbau mussten im Radioschacht zwei Plastikstege weggesägt werden). Diesbezüglich gibt es auf YouTube etliche Videos was zu beachten ist und welcher Einbauschacht zusätzlich benötigt wird. Nach den Vorbereitungsarbeiten am Einbauschacht war das Radio dann innerhalb von 10min fix und fertig sowie selbsterklärend eingebaut. Anm. ein Antennenadapter wird benötigt dieser ist im Lieferumfang des Radios nicht enthalten. Die Inbetriebnahme des Atoto ist kinderleicht, die Einrichtung von Apple CarPlay funktionierte auf Anhieb und ohne Probleme. Wir mussten lediglich im Anschluss den Kabelstrang nochmals tauschen weil die Sender sowie Uhrzeit nicht gespeichert wurden, der beiliegende „Iso Adapter B“ schaffte Abhilfe und alles funktionierte wunderbar. Was wollten wir für unser Wohnmobil: + Navigationsmöglichkeit + Großes Display + Möglichkeit für den Anschluss einer Rückfahrkamera + einfache Handhabung + Musikstreaming über Spotify + keine 800-1000€ für ein „richtiges Wohnmobil Navi“ ausgeben Sämtliche Punkte werden durch das Atoto erfüllt. Das Radio reagiert superschnell, verbindet sich sofort mit dem Handy und hatte bis dato keine Ausfälle oder sonstige Störungen. Der Musikklang ist deutlich besser als mit dem Serienradio, der Radioempfang ist ebenfalls top. Allgemein macht das Gerät ein wertigen Eindruck, die Knöpfe haben eine gute Haptik. Wir sind super zufrieden und können das Gerät mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen. Für die Camper: Euch muss bewusst sein dass die Navigation ausschließlich über das Handy am Display gespiegelt wird, diesbezüglich haben „richtige Campergeräte“ deutlich mehr Funktionen vorallem was die Routenplanung udgl. betrifft. Wer vorwiegend in der EU reist (Datenroaming Handy) und bei der Navigation Einschränkungen in Kauf nimmt ist mit diesem Gerät bestens bedient.

Quería actualizar la radio de mi coche (Mitsubishi Montero v80) y buscaba alguna que tuviera CarPlay, posibilidad de conectar cámara trasera y que pudiera adaptarse para utilizar los mandos del volante. Elegí la marca ATOTO porque había leído buenas opiniones de ella, y me decanté por este modelo concreto por tener botones físicos. La instalación es sencilla una vez tienes el marco de adaptación y los cables ISO para tu modelo concreto. La radio trae todo lo demás para proceder a su instalación. El funcionamiento de la radio es bueno. Cuando enciendes el coche tarda unos 3-5 segundos en cargarse, y a partir de ahí el funcionamiento es fluido. La transición entre menús es rápida. En lo que llevo usándola se me ha quedado colgada un par de veces en la pantalla de Reproducción USB. La pantalla indicaba que estaba sonando una canción anterior mientras que las canciones que se escuchaban iban avanzando. Al apagarla y volverla a encender se soluciona. La calidad del audio es buena. Me da la sensación de que consigue un sonido con más cuerpo que con la radio de serie. En cualquier caso no noto que haya empeorado por lo que en ese tema, contento. Cuando conectas la marcha atrás la imagen de la cámara enseguida entra a a la pantalla. Dispone de líneas que puedes activar o desactivar según tus preferencias. La calidad de la imagen no es de las mejores del mercado, pero ahí también puede influir la cámara que he montado yo. En cualquier caso cumple perfectamente. En cuanto a los mandos del volante, los cables deben empalmarse a los del coche. No se conectan de manera directa a través del conector ISO. Una vez conectados funcionan perfectamente. He podido emparejar los relativos al audio y también los del manos libres del propio coche. Desde que los emparejé han funcionado perfectamente. El CarPlay funciona muy fluido. Lo he probado tanto inalámbrico como con el cable y en ambos casos funciona bien. Cuando enciendes el coche se conecta directamente. Siri funciona como si le hablaras directamente al móvil. El micro, de momento uso el integrado en la radio. No me ha hecho falta conectar el externo que se incluye con la radio. En llamadas permite que se entienda suficiente lo que dices y los asistente de voz te entienden. Me ha gustado mucho el detalle de poder poner la foto que quieras de fondo de pantalla. Hay tres cosas que no me han gustado y creo que podrían ser mejoradas mediante una actualización de software. Me pondré en contacto con el Servicio Técnico para ver si tiene solución. La primera es que siempre conecta automáticamente el móvil con CarPlay, y si solo quieres conectar el móvil vía Bluetooth, cada vez que enciendes el coche tienes que seleccionarlo. Me gustaría que memorizara la forma de conexión que tienes al apagar el coche y se conectase así la siguiente vez. La segunda cosa que mejoraría es que cuando escuchas música de un USB, si apagas el coche y al encenderlo conecta automáticamente el móvil, no reproduce la música del USB. Tienes que elegir la fuente USB manual. De nuevo, podría memorizar la selección de fuente que tienes antes de apagar el coche y en el siguiente encendido poner esa fuente. Y por último, la tercera cosa que mejoraría es que cuando en el reproductor de música seleccionas la reproducción aleatoria, la siguiente vez que enciendes el coche está opción no está seleccionada. De nuevo, me gustaría que guardase tu elección al apagar el coche. A modo de resumen, la radio va muy bien. Se nota la diferencia con respecto a una más “barata” y por el momento estoy contento con la compra. Espero que, para ser un producto redondo, puedan arreglar los 3 detalles que he mencionado, que creo que con una nueva versión de software se podría arreglar. En caso de solucionarse lo indicaré.

After looking into higher priced head units, I saw this and decided to give it a try. The wiring part was simple in my nissan xtrail and once turned on, it connected quickly to my Android phone. It looks fantastic, and the music sounds great. It has a simple interface with a solid touch screen capability. I have had a couple of connection blips while listening to music but overall, this $180 cad unit works great. Will update if anything occurs. But as of now, I recommend. You will have to have a little wiring knowledge to install, but it's not hard. Ok. I have been using this for a while now and wow! What a great unit! I highly recommend this radio. Except for the odd blip I get during music, it sounds great, looks great, works great, and the gps is spot on. If you are on the fence, jump off on this side, it's great for a great price.

Avendo riscontrato un guasto nella mia autoradio originale, ho dovuto fare una scelta: ripararla a costi esorbitanti, o comprarne una nuova. Dato che spesso le autoradio Fiat presentano a lungo andare guasti alla centralina Blue&Me (almeno quelle montate fino al 2017), che mi ha provocato seri problemi di dispersione con conseguente morte di diverse batterie (ne ho cambiate 4 in un anno, fate voi), ho preferito comprarne una cinesona. Leggendo varie recensioni mi sono imbattuto in ATOTO. Da estremo ignorante, conoscevo solo le marche più blasonate, che però costano un occhio della testa e, detto sinceramente, non sono paragonabili a questa ATOTO F7 WE, se guardiamo soprattutto il prezzo. Per meno di 200€ mi sono portato a casa un'autoradio nuova, aggiornata, con tutte le caratteristiche che cercavo. Non avendo trovato un'interfaccia per recuperare i comandi al volante purtroppo mi devo accontentare di non averli, ma poco male. I tasti dell'autoradio fanno tutto e lo fanno bene. La sintonizzazione delle frequenze va pure bene, anche se alcune, devo dire la verità, non si trovano (forse dipende dalla mia zona, proverò a farlo da un'altra parte prima di confermare). PAIRING BLUETOOTH: il pairing è ultra rapido, niente a che vedere con la radio originale della mia macchina che utilizzava il sistema Uconnect (facevo prima ad arrivare a destinazione che ad avere il collegamento con il telefono). Accendi la radio ed è già tutto connesso, compreso di CarPlay, che finalmente posso utilizzare. QUALITA' AUDIO: che dire, è inaspettatamente di una qualità alta. Non pensavo che una radio di questa fascia potesse essere meglio di quella originale, a livello di audio. Ho provato di tutto, dal metal all'hip hop, ed è tutto perfetto, inoltre permette di sfruttare un equalizzatore e diversi profili, oppure di personalizzare l'equalizzazione come più vi piace. ALTRE FEATURE: ci sono altre feature che ho trovato interessanti. La possibilità di cambiare sfondo, caricandone uno personale dalla chiavetta USB o dalla MicroSD, per me è stata una bella sorpresa. Direte voi, e a che serve? A niente! Però sono quelle minchiatine che a me fanno impazzire. Anche la possibilità di cambiare il colore di illuminazione dei tasti, la possibilità di utilizzare il tethering bluetooth per connettere la radio a internet (in modo da poter scaricare gli ultimi aggiornamenti), insomma una serie di cavolate che comunque fa piacere avere, perché è indice di attenzione alle varie esigenze degli acquirenti.

Le F7 que j'ai acheté il y a un an, fonctionne parfaitement, l'écran est réactif, l'allumage et rapide (il permet d'allumer le moteur et de passer la caméra de recul en 5s, le temps de mettre ça ceinture, et de passer la marche arrière) l'image est ce bonne qualité en caméra de recul, peut de reflets du soleil. L'installation est a faire scrupuleusement selon les instructions données. J'ai supprimé les connecteurs pour y faire un point de soudure. La connexion bluetooth fonctionne super bien aussi. Le seul hic c'est que c'est Google Map qui prend la main pour la navigation, si on veut wase il faut faire du remonte screen. Je recommande vivement ça change vraiment la conduite.
