Its Soc applies a 12nm manufacturing process (higher efficiency, lower consumption), ARM Cortext Octa-Core processor (High performance), and the latest ATOTO AICE UI 11.0 (deep customization on Android Q). New ATOTO S8 can bring confidence and satisfaction under various operations. 3 options are available for internet access - Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth & USB Tethering (Traditional Android car stereos only have Wi-Fi option).
Speed Compensated Volume Control (SCVC)-Automatically adjusting S8's system volume as the vehicle speed changes to compensate for the road&wind noise. Users can put memorable photos in the specified gallery folder and let them play automatically on S8's HD screen with only a tap. S8 enables 6 touch gestures supporting a 2-fingers/3-fingers tap to enter the multi-task menu quickly, switch between preset 9 EQ modes, adjust the screen brightness, etc., which improve operation safety during driving.
Dual Bluetooth (BT1 5.0 & BT2 4.1) chips allow S8 to have multi-connections with phone and other BT devices meanwhile. BT2 supports Bluetooth tethering network and BLE connection. BT1 comes with Qualcomm aptX HD codec - Enhanced codec supports 24-bit music quality over BT，you can hear even the smallest details in music (phone needs to support BT aptX HD codec). Built-in phone integration link supports wired Android Auto & CarPlay, and wireless CarPlay is supported since September 1st, 2021.
This model works with ATOTO AC-HD03LR cameras (not included) to have an HD Virtual Surround-View (VSV) and Live Rear-View (LRV) display - Access rearview even if your vehicle is moving ahead. This could remove obstructions caused by headrests and the vehicle's rear pillars, increasing the field of view. It also applies the latest 10.1-inch 1280x720 QLED display, a type of quantum film LED-backlit LCD technology that can greatly improve the color effect (Enhanced R.G.B display).
S8G2114PM applies IAH10D style (Integrated and Adaptive Head-unit of 10.1-inch Display), working with YO-FUNG vehicle-specific Installation Dash Kit (wiring harness, data interface, mounting kit). Over 200 models have the opportunity to complete the OEM factory-style installation. For few vehicles, the edge of the 10.1-inch display part may block the air vent, emergency switch, or other buttons located around, resulting in inconvenience. Continuous system firmware update is available from ATOTO.

I love this radio it's amazing

[@stephenrichards5386]

Looks great. Good job.

[@workingTchr]

Really nice review. Thanks. I love the 10" display but I'm in a sort of high crime area, and I'm wondering if the 7" will be more stealth. One thing for sure, I'd put a matte screen cover on it (cut down from an iPad cover?). I just found out about ATOTO because of their cool back up camera, and I'm glad to hear that their head units are up to snuff as well.

[@ramcity2540]

Amazing 🤩

[@DoeBoy999]

Did you link the usb port you have installed and the usb plug with an interconnect? I guess a double sided female piece? I have the same deal where I have two usb ports built into a round socket that plugs into my current system which has usb ports on the back vs that proprietary wire connector of the atoto.

[@mikedoingmikethings702]

I purchased the Atoto S8 10" and everything is going well except that the clock setting get's out of sync like it completely disconnected from any power source... I thought these radio head unit comes with an internal battery for saving info and time? I tried disabling the clock and enabling automatic time zone and both did the same as if the internal battery had completely died out... I only had the unit for less than a year but I had this problem since the day I installed the unit. It never bothered me since I always have my phone mounted next to it, but it's that little annoyance than I wish it would go away... Thanks!

great review without a single word about the viewing angle of the QLED which is important to know how good and clear the screen looks from the side - the driver do not seat infront of the screen..i now have an IPS based system and screen looks good. i dont know if going with QLED will make things better or worse. i don't trust promotional clips about QLED. i wished the review would show the screen from more angles. having said that - thank you for sharing this review.

Hey, Quick question I heard you say google maps will only work if you have internet connection. Shouldn’t this have satellite gps since it has the gps signal adapter. In other words shouldn’t gps work without internet connection?

[@Joeshmofoshoyo]

@@earicruz9105 I found that setting too, but the second you adjust the volume or disturb the unit in anyway the screen comes alive and stays lit for 30 seconds, the shortest setting for the dark feature.
