ATOTO F7XE Double DIN Car Stereo Receiver -7" touchscreen DAB+/DAB Radio with Bluetooth, Wireless CarPlay & Wireless Android Auto, Mirror Link, HD LRV, Quick Charge, QLED Display, F7G2A7XED

Product Information

I inadvertently dislodged the magnetic valve solenoid electrical connector. This had the rather unpleasant effect of putting the transmission into limp mode if you leave it in park or neutral with the engine running for too long. I love it when I install a new head unit and in the process break the transmission.

ATOTO F7 XE // FULL In Depth Review and INSTALL // APPLE

I’m really happy with the ATOTO F7. CarPlay works quite well. Much better than fiddling with the phone while I’m driving. What's the downside of getting the A6 as it seems to have all the features of the F7 but with additional android & Wi-Fi antenna's etc. Pros- big vibrant screen, access iPhone apps through built in screen, very good sound quality, adjustable tilt, telescope, and elevation of screen to suit the needs of your dashboard setup. The main difference seems to be that the F7 units are designed for wireless AA/CP & thus run off linux whilst the A6 uses an android operating system.I installed an ATOTO F7 XE (10 inch screen) in my 2001 325xi Touring with Axxess ASWC-1 for steering wheel controls. I used an Enfig kit to mount it and make it look descent. I also used the Dinavin console frame to relocate the HVAC controls. Finally I needed the Metra wiring harness adapter.

A. I fiddled around with the Axxess ASWC-1 until I realized that it was reading steering wheel control inputs, but the radio was either not getting the signal or not processing it properly. Per 100PercentJake’s recommendation I followed the instructions to manually set the radio type to #8. The install was pretty straight forward and the ATOTO manuals were pretty good. I made four mistakes when originally hooking it up.I regrounded the Axxess unit to the chassis by drilling a hole in the dashboard metal frame and terminated the ground wire with a hook crimp terminal and a sheet metal screw.
