Navigation: F7G2A7WE comes with a specific hardware solution to integrate iOS CarPlay or Android Auto into its system so that you can run iOS Maps or Google Maps/Waze/TomTom etc. Many people only trust the most popular brands, but after my experience I would fully recommend trying the Chinese ones as well. This, in turn, requires a head unit that can adequately meet the demands of these functions in terms of audio and visual performance. If you want to use your favorite DAB+ stations while driving, it is highly recommended to purchase the ATOTO F7 XE, A6 PF, and A6 PP series. The Atoto F7 is pretty much bare bones system that just has the basic radio, bluetooth and standard inputs (USB, SD Card etc.

Software: Linux based and as mentioned earlier, bootup time is not the quickest BUT decent and probably IMHO, acceptable.Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience.

Build Quality: Very lightweight, seems decently put together except the bracket holes do NOT line up with the bracket itself. You phone battery is finally safe: If you get in the car with low battery on your iOS/Android phone, and you start driving using CarPlay/Android Auto, on many head units with only wired CarPlay/Android Auto, after the trip, the battery is barely charged, if at all. Extra accessories you may need to purchase: As this is a universally fit head unit, extra accessories may be required to finish installation in a specific vehicle (not provided in the package). I really wanted to try out this head unit, because it was one of the cheapest ones out there which had Android Auto and Apple Carplay.Personally, I like this "floating" display a lot better but of course it is just a personal preference. The main difference I'd hazard to guess with the listed brands is maybe the better screen sensitivity, slightly quicker bootup and possibly better audio/Bluetooth.

It's also a capacitive touch screen which is quite slick and responsive but I've discovered a couple of "dead spots" on the bottom right hand corner which has issues registering your taps on first go.

It goes best with ATOTO AC-HD02LR (not included) to offer LRV, allowing you to see what's behind the car at all times. Installing the floating display to the head unit was very easy as it had a lot of adjustment options. The same can't be said for the Mirrorlink software though - the software is literally rubbish, I've tried it on 4 phones - 3 Android Based and 1 Apple based. Performance: It takes about 12 seconds from a cold start up, so when you put your selt belt on and check your mirrors, it'll lag about 1-2secs before you can start driving.The holding brackets included in the box did not fit my vehicle at all and I needed to get new ones on my own. Screen:1024 x 780 resolution, says IPS panel but view angle is iffy at best, suffers from glare but frankly it's probably more of the original car design position than it is an Atoto design fault.
