I have the Atoto F7 XE (Extreme) 7" double din unit that's currently listed for $199.

I think it's great value for money, the speed of the system is fine and CarPlay works wired and wirelessly with my iPhone.
Installation is no more difficult than any other head unit.
All I wanted was to modernize my car to have a touchscreen, view backup camera, and wireless carplay for call/text/navigation/no wired hookup.
Audio and video accompaniments are secondary to me where this checked all my boxes!
Great product compared to $700+ for more reputable aftermarket head units that support wireless carplay!

Quote from wpc :
is your PC going to be on and nearby? If so you can just pull power from the molex to power the 12v or get a cheap $5 power supply and you need to rig it to always power on and hit the on/off on the rear of the power supply and do the same molex 12v to your player. Based on that size of that you can prob put the power supply right behind the tablet

Most car stereos have a yellow wire that is supposed to be connected to a constant power source to help it remember FM presets in some other settings. You'll probably want to have two power supplies one which is always on to connect the yellow wire too and another one that's switched so that you can turn it on and off. I suppose you could just connect the yellow and red wires together to the power source and leave the power source on all the time then you can use the on off button on the radio to control power

I've had Pumpkin unit in me vehicle for around 5 years now. Mostly good experience. Something to be aware of during install, though. Apparently Asian DIN opening size is different than what we have in the US. The unit was actually bigger (by ~1/8") than the opening in the Metra/Scoshe adapter that I got for my car. I actually had to modify mine to get it to work. Added a pretty big PITA to the install process.

Quote from lottathought :
Well...this ATOTO is on clearance and under the price range that you are asking about.
The specs that I would pay attention to are CPU and memory.

Again....bottom baseline would be Quad core, 4gig Ram and 16-32GB memory.
I would probably lean heavily on the side of 32GB. And I would likely not consider under 4Gig of ram. It is not that you can't add a card for more memory but just like a tablet, the apps usually run off the internal memory only and the expanded storage is for media files.

In general, think phone/tablet. What specs would make you move on from considering a phone?
The specs you need in a quality phone/tablet are what you are going to need here.

As for a single source, that one is a little tougher. I tend to research things to death.....in general. In this case, it was a lot of Youtube reviews, Reddit, XDA Forums is decent. And there was a crap ton of looking up everything that I could find.

Here is something to consider. What are you really looking to do?
If you are planning on playing local radio stations and maybe using Bluetooth to stream music off the phone, then you might be better with a more traditional unit.
If you really want to incorporate more media into the system...take full advantage of GPS...build a really quality sound system, etc.... then this might be the way to go.

But let me be clear...you are not going to find a quality Android head unit for $50....despite the ads on Ebay. These are a fraction the price of their mainstream counterparts with the same specs. In fact, the mainstream at a MUCH steeper cost does not boast many of the specs that these do.

But you need to go into this with eyes wide open.
I said before that these can do as much...and frankly more than their mainstream counterparts...but they are not as refined.
You are going to notice that the metal walls of the head unit is thinner gauges. But you are going to find that the screen has a higher resolution and a good one is usually IPS...vs the low-end screens in the mainstream.
You are going to find the OS to be more like a rooted OS and not like the OEM interface you might find in a mainstream unit.
But the OS will have fewer limitations, more ability to adapt, and will be much more able to be customized.
I can go on but you get the idea.

In the areas that I care about, these do more.
And having owned this one, when I do need another one day, I will be going with another ATOTO, Joying, XTRON, or maybe even a Pumpkin. (Based on the rep, I am leaning to Joying....they seem to be the kings right now)
But I will understand that it will likely cost $200-$400. And comparing that to a low-end head unit from the mainstream that can only play radio and stream Bluetooth is comparing apples to oranges. You need to be comparing that to a much higher-end mainstream that can boast similar specs.
Thank you, will pay heed to everything you mentioned!

One last newbie Q: Do any of these units have dashcam front camera + recorder ability or option?
(Researched this model and a few others, couldn't find any mention of dashcam/front camera.)

I do not have or use a Front Dashcam. I know that my model (S8) has both rear backup and front dashcam hookups. I really can't say if you can record to the head unit or if you would just use the head unit as a screen. My thought is probably just a screen as the dashcam itself should be able to record.....or it would be a poor dashcam.


OK..I see the issue. I would look at the ATOTO webpage link on this head unit for specs.

Thanks, the specs link you posted is unfortunately broken, but rather than just a front camera display I was hoping the head unit (ATOTO , etc.) could also replace a separate dashcam continuous video recorder device, if a front camera was wired to it.

I'd be surprised if none of these units can do this, but possibly the Android OS and other simultaneous apps running create too much potential RAM/CPU/etc. overhead to consistently and reliably record the critical video, so this type of feature is left off and a dedicated dashcam recorder is therefore necessary?

Be wary w/ Chinese units, Atoto especially is NOT Double-DIN compliant. Wasted bloody HOURS prepping all the cables, harnesses etc- just for this stupid thing to end up nearly 1/4" out of spec ! Had a chat w/ guy who designs the fitment kits for Metra, he warned that many of them are sized like tv's anymore "bigger is better" 🤬. What a damn waste, realizing that Amazon doesn't do Any real QC on these vendors, THIS is why people spend so much more on trusted brands.

Had somewhat better experience w/ Ousmin A8 device: at least THAT thing Fit!

Quote from calpolymike :
can i get more feedback on this F7 SE atoto brand? i am on the fence, thinking strongly going this route.
Sure. It's a pretty straight forward Linux based unit, which frankly runs better than any Android based units because it's so light. I primarily use it with my iPhone running CarPlay, so it's pretty intuitive. I added a backup camera to it, but the real kicker is the ability to activate the backup camera while driving. It's nifty feature that helps with getting rid of blind spots. It also allows you to connect a USB thumb drive loaded with music and movies. Kids love being able to watch movies in the car, even though it's from a 7" screen. The stereo output is better than stock ('06 F150) but not overwhelming. ATOTO makes an amp that you can easily connect directly to these units for increased output for $90 on Amazon. I'm considering giving that a try. Overall, I'm very happy with the unit. For the price, I think it might be the best way to incorporate CarPlay/AA to any car.
