Access to the internet and install Android apps from Google Play Store

• S8 allows users to connect to the phone's hotspot via 2.4Ghz WiFi or Bluetooth tethering option.
• Running online maps or streaming music online on Android car stereo do not need high bandwidth(less than200kb/s), Bluetooth tethering connection is capable of dealing with such demand.
• Compared with WiFi connection, Bluetooth tethering has lower power consumption, so phone battery will last much longer while Bluetooth tethering is enabled;
• WiFi connection is easier as it requires only one step - enable your phone's WLAN hotspot; Bluetooth connection requires 2 - 3 steps;
• More than 1000 apps from Google Play Store have been tested installable on ATOTO S8 Series, especially media/entertainment apps and navigation apps in the category of "Auto & Vehicles". Very few app developers may specify devices/system environments that are allowed to install or run their apps, which results in the inability to install or run on an Android car stereo. Netflix is the case, but a specific version of Netflix is pre-installed so that you can still use it on S8;

Android Car Stereo is not the equivalent of putting an Android tablet in the vehicle. The ATOTO S8 has lots of inputs and outputs customized for it to work better in vehicle

• Connect to a specific ATOTO USB On dash 1080P DVR camera for recorded video files preview & playback;
• Connect to a specific ATOTO USB TPMS tire pressure monitor system. When one or more tires are under-inflated, it will pop up a prompt warning on the S8 screen, and even emit a prompt tone as a reminder;
• Connect to a rearview camera with CVBS & HD video signal out for safe parking;
• Connect to your Android / iOS smartphone via USB / WiFi and using EasyConnection option to cast what's displayed on the phone to ATOTO screen;
• Connect to an OBD II Diagnostic Scanner /Engine Code Reader via Bluetooth; Compared with single Bluetooth, dual Bluetooth solution makes communication tasks between multiple Bluetooth connections more balanced and stable.

• The Bluetooth 1 works as Bluetooth hands-free (call/answer) with A2DP streaming audio feature. Contacts/recent records will be synchronized once the smartphone is connected. All the contacts can be searched by manually typing, or A-Z filtering, and users can add certain contacts to the "Favor" list for quick dialing!
• ATOTO S8 allows the driver to put the current call on hold and switch to another incoming call. You won't miss important calls anymore. Most android car stereos will auto ignore or even hang off the second incoming call.
• ATOTO S8 Standard applies Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.0 w/ aptX codec - it could help decode the high-quality audio delivered from phones, and play the music at a wired-quality-sound level yet wirelessly. Even though the average Bluetooth streaming solution is enough for the majority, there is still regret these hypercritical people (who are more obsessed with wired CD music). Now throw away your AUX cables, external storage, just play the music stored in your phone via Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.0 w/ aptX option;
• The aptX feature requires the phone side also to support Bluetooth aptX feature to perform correctly;
• Phone signal strength /battery power could be displayed on the S8 notification bar!
• The Bluetooth 2 not only works as Bluetooth tethering internet but also allows to connect to Bluetooth gamepad(for kids in rear seats), Bluetooth OBD2, Bluetooth TPMS, etc;
• The system allows user to connect up to 3 devices simultaneously(one for audio, two for data communication).
• The customized Bluetooth in S8 allows to wake up the phone's voice assistant (Siri, Google Assistant) via Bluetooth connection. So users can use a specific button on the screen or steering wheel or ATOTO AC-44F5 wireless remote to send messages, make calls, and control music with your voice. Much safer, much convenient;

• 178° full-viewing angle IPS display screen, the better viewing experience

   
  

  • ATOTO S8 Standard applies 178° full-viewing angle IPS display screen, which helps improve viewing experience in strong daylight, and important app tips such as navigation prompts could be viewed brighter than traditional display screen;
  • In addition, IPS display technology has outstanding color rendition, as well as retaining displaying naturalness;

    More options to operate & control the S8 - Easy Operation to Ensure Safe Driving

    *Operating a car stereo while driving can be quite dangerous. ATOTO S8 provides up to 24 frequently-used functions for matching with steering wheel audio key. Manual programming or re-allocation is available. *For cars without steering wheel audio control, ATOTO AC-44F5 Steering Wheel IR Remote is highly recommended;

    *ATOTO S8 enables six touch gestures that support two-figure / three-figure tap on screen to enter multi-task menu quickly, switch between preset 9 EQ modes, adjust the screen brightness, etc., which improve operation safety during driving.

    *S8 supports split screen display, so that users can run navigation maps and another app (such as Youtube) on the same screen

    DSP with Time Correction, Powerful Preamp

    Built-in Digital Signal Processor for tailored audio output

    *A DSP uses a microcontroller that is designed specifically to manipulate audio signals in the digital domain. It allows you to set precise equalization, signal delay (aka Time Correction or Time Alignment), bass boost, and bass filter (LFP)

    Powerful Toshiba Pre-amplifier IC, Great Listening Experience

    *The S8 Standard applies a powerful Toshiba preset amplifier, which comes with 4x45 Watts BTL Max output & 4x24w RMS output. With the conditions of non-distorted audio amplifying & delivering requirements, the RMS 24w power output lets user experience more powerful,

    Highest Compatibility For Vehicle Fit/Installation

    Currently, the front panel of aftermarket car stereos with a 7inch screen has various sizes (178mmx100mm, 178mmx102mm,180mmx102). However, most mounting dash frame adapter suppliers (Metra, Scosche, PAC, etc.) mainly provides 174mmx98mm dash opening, lots of users encountered issues /hassles during installation. ATOTO S8 universal double din models use size 193mmx97mm, and can fit them perfectly, no trimming/cutting job needed!

    This S8 model is a universal double din car stereo, and the extra accessories required to finish installation in a specific vehicle are not included, and it is the buyer's responsibility to prepare for them (if applicable). The accessories that may be involved include (but are not limited to) dash frame kit, wiring

    

    HD 720P rearview video display & Fast System Boot (within 2s)

    Traditional car stereos can only take and display 400-600 lines CVBS rearview video signal. ATOTO S8 works with a specific HD camera (AC-HD02, sold separately) to show HD 720P rearview video quality.

    Like A6, S8 can shorten the startup time of the Android system from 25 seconds to only 2 seconds. Protecting car battery from draining out, as well as ensuring quick boot available, are the two essentials. This feature has been tested in hundreds of thousands of products (M4 & A6) and is reliable enough. The inner clock will count, and if the vehicle is parked for more than 7 days, it will be automatically powered off to save car battery power.

    

    Personal Privacy Protection without sacrificing convenience

    In order to protect Google /Facebook & other SNS accounts from being accessed, S8 has a screen lock option for users to lock the screen when the car (car stereo) is not in their control (Valet Parking, or vehicle taken by others). An additional option (Unlock with Bluetooth) allows users to unlock S8 screen once phone Bluetooth is connected automatically. You do not have to input the password manually to unlock the screen. Now, all you need to lock or unlock your S8 is just walk out of its Bluetooth range.
