ATOTO S8 Gen2 in-Dash Stereo With Apple Car Play And Android Auto - So Sweet!

[@jamescamil]

You don’t need a harness to use the steering wheel control. Just connect the steering wheel control cable/s or the 3.5mm jack and their respective cables to the stereo. Once connected you can go to the swc menu and configure various controls. If you can’t find the steering wheel control cables; connect the black cable of a multimeter to ground, set the multimeter to ohms, and find which wire shows no continuity when no buttons are not pressed and shows a reading when buttons are pressed. Connect all other wires first to make it easier to find the cables.

It depends, the method you described works with resistive type controls, but alot of cars now use Can-Bus type of controls and need an Can interface to work.

Recently I acquired a Atoto S8 Ultra for my 2010 F-150 truck. I can say it's a very easy unit to connect without making alterations. My F-150 looks as if it had an original stereo. I can see KZbin, Local TV and many Android applications. It also brings Apple Car Play, although I do not use it.

[@KW14808]

Your code still worked! Saved me over $20.00! Thanks a lot! Very informative video BTW!

[@HTownHero15]

Yes code still works!!!

[@jaym5938]

0:47 You claim to be reviewing the ATOTO S8 Standard 'New version' (2nd Gen); but, you're actually installing the 10" ATOTO S8 Ultra Plus.

[@luis21santana323]

I purchased it for my 97 civic and love it when it’s working freeze up a lot wireless applecarplay takes for ever to work and sometimes doesn’t even work.

[@jonathanperez8460]

Does it connect Bluetooth automatically when your turn on your car to your phone?

[@svahora]

Can you download offline maps into the HU so you don't need use the data on your phone?

[@LeonBosset]

Aftermarket faceplate? Where do u look for that?

[@DC-pv3yh]

Seem to like everything but this unit. I hesitate for two reasons. Does it have any type of shroud/covers for behind the screen? To cover the brackets on the backside of the screen? With what i drive it would be a visual sore thumb for sure. Appreciate the vid.

[@nspnutritionsportsperforma6804]

Dude this looks sick! I've got a really old Android Headunit now in my Toyota Supra RZ. I'ts called Parrot Asteroid Smart, and its sooo old I'm looking to upgrade it to something that isnt running Android 2.3 lol. This looks perfect, really hope ATOTO make one that fits my Supra :)

[@AD-bb9np]

How does it compare to the name brand units? I’m debating between this and a low end kenwood

[@HTownHero15]

Code still works, thank you!!!! Can't wait to get it installed

[@bradleypowell5961]

I just tried and it doesnt work today :(

[@donellis5005]

Does this head unit come with Dolby DTS sound?

[@mikehoffman136]

Is Sirius XM installed in this?

[@mtang65]

Doesn’t the screen blocking the air vents?

[@eurodj101]

do u know if u can play with the audio blance say front/rear, right/left and subwoofer level?

[@TRHardware]

Doesnt the code on the sticker suggest it is Gen1 and not Gen2? "S8G1..."

[@mrhbigga]

eq ? 4g ? SWC menu ? wireless cplay ? internal storage ? external storage ? external ssd ? stream TV ? manual ? 30 day follow up ?

[@jamescamil]

Eq: 1/3 octave Swc: yes Wireless cplay: yes Internal storage: yes External storage/ssd : yes Stream tv: yes it’s basically and android tablet in your car Manual : haven’t found anything helpful only comes with the basics That’s all folks 😃

[@nchia]

No built-in 4G internet access.

[@hmata3]

Have you tried the RCAM app with bird's eye view. It's supposed to work with any factory camera. I'll mess with mine tomorrow to see how it works.

[@nspnutritionsportsperforma6804]

Yo, what's the cold boot time?

[@ByFstugan]

Thx for a good video. One question. Does it have settings for low-pass filter to the subs and even high-pass for the rest of the speakers?

[@lorissellari5830]

I also have a Fiat 500, and I bought an atoto s8 1 din identical to yours, with a canbus control unit can I retrieve the steering wheel controls?

[@JohnIwantschak]

Is the face plate detachable? May attract thieves...

[@nchia]

You wouldn’t want to do it. Held in by three easily lost tiny screws!

[@EZ-PZ-ECM]

So that's the 8 inch that you installed? Or 10? I see in the description you have the 8 inch Linked but looks like the 10 in your car? Let me know please

[@Hoopergames]

The 8 inch is also floating

[@Hoopergames]

And the only one that's single din floating is the 8 inch so you should be good to go

[@darrelldarrell1447]

8 inch is the entire thing. The screen is only about 6.8 viewing especially with thr black bar around the screen. I got one and sent it back. Totally not worth the price and it looks terrible.

[@TipsNNTricks]

This is the 8 inch I have installed:)

[@nchia]

@@darrelldarrell1447 The viewable screen is 8.2 inch diagonal. You must be thinking of a different model.

[@brandenshervington3817]

Isn't there a function on the radio to learn the car's steering wheel controls?

[@jamescamil]

Yeah, Just connect the steering wheel control cable/s or the 3.5mm jack and their respective cables to the stereo. Once connected you can go to the swc menu and configure various controls. If you can’t find the steering wheel control cables; connect the black cable of a multimeter to ground, set the multimeter to ohms, and find which wire shows no continuity when no buttons are pressed and shows a reading when buttons are pressed. Connect all other wires to make it easier to find

[@HBZTwistaOk]

Does it not connect to the internet via Bluetooth tethering?? I read it somewhere but haven't seen anyone actually using it.

[@nchia]

For me, it’s fiddly. But it works somewhat.

[@daniel_trueno]

I ask a question that I have not found an answer to in several videos that I have seen on KZbin. Can I connect my android mobile to this screen without using the cable (Car Link)? I mean, can I connect my mobile using EasyConnection or something? I know this screen does NOT have Android Auto Wireless.

[@lloydmauler]

My s8 ultra gen 1 has android auto wireless.

[@Jimbob-fw9fh]

For car play it work via a USB plugged into the back or is it a cable going into the side of the screen. Thanks!

[@swimjims]

Wanted to know about this aswell

[@jamescamil]

Both the front the usb connection in the back and the front work but for a better experience you should use the rear connection with the syncing cable

[@Jimbob-fw9fh]

@@jamescamil thx

[@kkraken24]

How do you make it turn off with the car mines stays on even when my car is off I have to manually turn it off and it’s draining my battery

[@bryco32]

Having the same issue. Did you ever figure it out? Seems like its a issue with atoto's because I see folks on their amazon seller pages bringing it up in the questions. I've emailed atoto USA about it and they have never gotten back with me. Hate like hell to have to wire in a switch to the constant feed in the harness..

[@kkraken24]

@@bryco32 not yet man ima have to take it to a shop so there can figure it out I’m tired of disconnecting the radio when I’m not going to use my Jeep the next day smh

[@kkraken24]

If they figure out a solution for me I’ll reply here and let you know my brother 💪🏻

[@nchia]

Mine comes with three harnesses. Two of them have ISO connectors, the only difference is switching the constant and ACC cables. With ISO (A), it turns off the moment I switch the car off from ACC and didn’t retain clock settings, having to reboot every time. Switching to ISO (B) it works with Fast Boot as per the video. It drains a small amount of battery, so be mindful of this feature. I haven’t had your problem tho. I understand some cars have hot ACC, so that might be the problem you have. ie your accessory is constant on. This will cause a similar issue with dash cams feeding off ACC.

[@ratsv]

Does anyone know if you can use a usb hub on the s8 gen2 basic to give an extra usb connection?

[@nchia]

I was able to use a short 4-port USB hub to connect a DVR and TPMS to the same USB port, keeping the other one for wired CarPlay free.

[@cameronmcdaniel8937]

@@nchia thank you for your response, did it have a separate power connection or just the usb hud?

[@MiguelRedPy]

I just bought the Atoto S8 but I am having problems with the volume, which even in Volume 1 is exaggeratedly high that it is even impossible to talk. I have a Hyundai Santa Fe which comes with a factory amplifier. Could my problem be here? Any suggestions that you can give to the technician who installed the multimedia center for me?

[@jacksaran5539]

I had the same issue with the radio being way too loud at the lowest volume setting. You need to change the volume in the OEM settings of the radio because it's on the maximum volume by default. Go to "Settings''> ''System'' and tap it four times then enter pin 3368 (this is on my unit so hopefully it's the same pin as yours). Scroll down and look for Volume Balance Settings and tap on it. You should be able to lower the volume under Radio. Hope you find this helpful.

Very nice👌
