What You've Just Bought!

Picked up a ATOTO F7 CarPlay / Android auto head unit on sale on Amazon for my 2000 Tundra. I always take the Mustang on trips so just using a aux cable had never been a issue but for $150 it's worth a shot, and now I don't need to remember to keep a usbc - 3.5mm adapter in there

Also picked up a huge set of Torx sockets as not having the right ones has become an issue lately.

I have an ATOTO in my Mustang, had it a few years now. It's basically a huge pain in the rear lol. I'm going to move to one of those Carplay standalone units and 3.5mm out to my amp.

This one has been a pain also lol, harness was too short so I had to extend all of the wires in it, then it turns out the unit is dead even when directly powered off of 12v. Waiting on a rma but if I still have issues I'm just going to consider it a lesson learned and get something better.

Mine leaves a constant draw on my system, because of that I haven't changed my battery in almost 10 years. It's slow as hell to do anything natively on it like Google Maps or a music app. I opted to do the SD card route for my tunes and the stock music player is a chore to use and worse while driving. I finally gave up and just did bluetooth from my phone which if I'm doing that I figured I might as well just do Carplay. To avoid draw problems or a potential ground loop in my system I'm just going to get a standalone Carplay only dash mount thing.
