More than a car stereo – Install Android Apps,play music online, run online map & get real-time traffic, connect various external devices

S8G2A78UL

S8 Ultra provides 4 Methods for Internet Access – Wi-Fi/BT/USB Tethering & builtin 4G Cellular Modem:

1). Phone’s cellular data

  • S8 allows users to connect to the phone’s hotspot via WiFi or Bluetooth tethering for internet access.
  • Running online maps or streaming music online on Android car stereo do not need high bandwidth(less than 200kb/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, and WiFi connection is finished within 2-4s; Bluetooth connection requires 2 – 3 steps;
  • USB network tethering is a newly introduced option by ATOTO, and it allows users to share phone data with S8 via USB connection. This could help save phone battery, or even increase slightly; You only need to run the specific EasyConnect application in the background;

2). Built-in 4G Cellular Modem

There is a SIM card slot with the unit, and it only takes Nano size. SIM with Data Plan is not included in the product package. The built-in 4G LTE modem module works with frequency bands supported by most carriers. Frequency Bands Supported are – 2G (GSM 850, GSM900, GSM1900); 3G WCDMA (B1, B2, B4, B5, B8); 4G LTE (B1, B2, B4, B5, B7, B8, B12, B13, B17, B19, B25, B26, B38, B41); Only carriers who support bands listed above can allow S8 to access the network. Even if the frequency bands in the above list are supported, the operator’s communication base station does not cover the places your vehicle stays, S8 will not be able to access it. You can visit Wikipedia to learn more about LTE bands supported by local carriers. International buyers need to check the frequency bands compatibility with your local carriers/operators before placing order.

Install countless Android apps from Google Play Store

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 any Android car stereos. Netflix is not compatible.

Versatile Connectivity – The ATOTO S8 Ultra has lots of inputs & outputs customized for working better in a vehicle

1.Connect to a specific USB On dash 1080P DVR camera for video preview & playback; 2.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; 3.Connect to a rearview camera with CVBS & HD video signal out for safe parking; 4.Connect to your Android / iOS smartphone via USB/ WiFi and using EasyConnection to cast what’s displayed on the phone to S8’s screen; 4.Connect to your iOS phone via USB or Bluetooth for running wired or wireless Phone Integration Link, Android Auto only works with the wired USB connection, which seamlessly integrates your smartphone (iPh0ne & Android) with the S8’s built-in display and allow you to make phone calls, access your music, send and receive messages, get directions. 5.Connect to an OBD II Diagnostic Scanner /Engine Code Reader via Bluetooth; Compared with single Bluetooth, dual Bluetooth makes communication tasks between multiple Bluetooth connections more balanced and stable. 6.Plug the phone into the dedicated Quick Charge interface, S8 will charge the phone battery quickly. 7.Connect to headrest monitors using ATOTO USB Video Output Adaptor (AC-AHV68: USB to HDMI adaptor; AC-AHV48: USB To RCA adaptor; Both are sold separately), and what is displayed on S8 can be synchronized to headrest monitors.

Dual Bluetooth chips inside,connect to more BT-based devices,customized Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD audio codec and voice assistant interface

S8G2A78UL

  • 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. Supports “Quick Search” and “Add to Favorites” for quick dialing!
  • Built-in Noise Cancellation Technology to help suppress background noise and echo feedback in a hands-free call. You don’t have to yell at the car stereo to talk with the other one.
  • ATOTO S8 (Gen2) Ultra applies Qualcomm aptX HD codec, which was designed to answer the growing demand for high-resolution audio. This enhanced codec supports 24-bit music quality over Bluetooth. This means listeners can hear even the smallest details in their music. Even though the average Bluetooth streaming solution is enough for the majority, for these hypercritical people (who are more obsessed with HD audio quality), there is still regret. Now, enjoy wireless HD audio easily with S8;
  • aptX Low Latency audio delivers sound in sync with what’s on-screen, reduces delay, and improves the end-to-end speed of the audio transmission (from 120ms to 40ms!), resulting in high quality, synchronized sound, so you never miss a beat.
  • The aptX HD feature requires the phone side also to support Bluetooth aptX HD to perform correctly.
  • 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.;
  • Because of dual Bluetooth inside, 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, steering wheel or ATOTO AC-44F5 wireless remote to send messages, make calls, and control music with your voice. Much safer, much convenient;

Highest Compatibility For Vehicle Fit/Installation

*Currently, the front panel of a 7-inch aftermarket car stereo 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 172mmx97mm, 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 harness, radio antenna adapter, data interface,etc.

HD 720P Rearview Video Display with Virtual Surround View Parking (Single-camera Based) & Live Rear View Features

*ATOTO S8 works with a specific HD camera to show HD 720P rearview video quality.

*S8 Ultra has integrated a special Panoramic Image Stitching algorithm that allows the processing of the image sent from a specific rearview camera and rebuilds a dynamic, virtual, but almost same-size ratio surroundings view. It is quite helpful for drivers to park large vehicles (full-size sedan/SUV, van, light trucks) in a narrow or small space.

*Live RearView (LRV) Feature – Access Rearview even if vehicle in moving ahead. This could remove obstructions of passengers, headrests and the vehicle’s roof and rear pillars, increasing field of view (the lanes behind and traditional blind-spots).

*The specified backup camera (AC-HD03LR) for Virtual Surround View parking & Live RearView is sold separately.
