Limitless Expansion - Make It Look and Function the Way You Like It!
3 Ways to Access the Internet and a Whole Lot of Accessories!
1. Connecting to the phone's hotspot via 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz WiFi (most car stereos only offer WiFi hotspot at 2.4 GHz)
When it comes to Internet access, most Android car stereos offer only one option: WiFi hotspot, and only at 2.4 GHz, a frequency band that is congested due to its wide use (including by electronic appliances). This is where A6 PF stands one cut above the rest with the 5 GHz WiFi, ensuring optimal Internet connection at all times!
2. Bluetooth tethering for saving power
For running online maps or streaming music, a relatively low bandwidth, e.g. 200 kb/s, is enough. Switch to Bluetooth tethering, as it has the advantage of consuming less power than hotspot.
3. USB Network Tethering (an EXCLUSIVE feature from ATOTO)
If you are still insecure about your phone battery, there is a third option. With a USB cable, you can have almost the same bandwidth as with WiFi hotspot, and your phone battery can even charge slightly. You only need to run the app CarbitLink (preinstalled) in the background.
More than 1,000 apps from Google Play Store have been tested compatible with A6 PF, esp. media/entertainment apps and navigation apps in "Auto & Vehicles". Very few developers such as Netflix specify device types for installing their apps. Android car stereos are usually ruled out. Make your A6 PF look and function the way you like it!
Installing an Android Car Stereo is not the equivalent of putting an Android tablet in your vehicle. A6 PF has lots of inputs and outputs customized for it to work better in the vehicle. (Check the picture at the bottom for inputs, outputs & slots.)
A few examples of the accessories that you can connect A6 PF to:
- (1) ATOTO ACEB44P2 (included) USB On dash 1080 P DVR camera to record video files for preview & playback;
- (2) ATOTO ACEBHD01LR (included) rear view camera (included) for HD 720P rear view input and Live Rear View (LRV) feature to view the traffic behind even when driving forward; ACEBHD03LR is not compatible.
- (3) ATOTO ACEBUTP1 USB TPMS tire pressure monitor system to monitor the temperature and pressure of your tires, alerting you both visually and aurally;
- (4) ATOTO ACEB4450 OBD II Diagnostic Scanner /Engine Code Reader via Bluetooth; Compared with single Bluetooth, dual Bluetooth makes communication tasks between multiple Bluetooth connections more balanced and stable.
- (5) headrest monitors using ATOTO Video Output Adaptor (ACEBAHV68: USB to HDMI adaptor; ACEBAHV48: USB To RCA adaptor; Both are sold separately). A6 PF is dual zone capable, meaning what's displayed on A6 PF can be different from on the headrest monitors, interrupting the kids watching their favorite movie in the backseat as little as possible! (some apps do not support dual zone display)
- (6) ATOTO ACEB44F8 IR remote, for more convenient operation when no original steering wheel controls are available. ATOTO ACEB44F5 is not compatible.
- (7) Game pads via Bluetooth (check for compatibility before purchasing a specific game pad)
