ATOTO is the first manufacturer to introduce true 7-inch Android head units with a minimal front panel size of 172 mm*97 mm (fitting the mounting frames commonly available). We ran the cord for the included microphone across the dash and up inside the A-pillar trim, clipping it to the top of the A-pillar. This, in turn, requires a head unit that can adequately meet the demands of these functions in terms of audio and visual performance.

Many people only trust the most popular brands, but after my experience I would fully recommend trying the Chinese ones as well.
