ATOTO S8 UN Android Car Stereo – Elevate your drive with ATOTO DriveChat

S8 UN offers 4 methods for Internet access - Wi-Fi/BT/USB Tethering & built-in 4G modem

1). Mobile data from the phone

S8 allows users to connect to the phone hotspot via Wi-Fi 2.4GHz & 5GHz or Bluetooth tethering for Internet access; Using online maps or streaming music on an Android car stereo doesn't require high bandwidth (less than 200kb/s). Bluetooth tethering can meet such needs; Compared to Wi-Fi connection, Bluetooth tethering consumes less power, extending the phone's battery life during Bluetooth tethering usage; Wi-Fi connection is simpler, as it only requires one step: activate the phone's WLAN hotspot, and the Wi-Fi connection completes in 2-4 seconds. Bluetooth connection requires 2-3 steps; USB network tethering is an option introduced by ATOTO, allowing users to share phone data with S8 via USB connection. This can help save or even slightly increase the phone's battery. Just run the CarbitLink application in the background.

2). Built-in 4G cellular modem

The SIM card slot supports only the Micro format. The SIM with data plan is not included in the product package; The built-in 4G LTE modem module supports frequency bands used by most operators. Supported frequency bands: 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 operators that support the bands listed above allow the S8 to access the network. Even if the frequency bands listed above are supported, if the operator's base stations do not cover the area where the vehicle is located, S8 will not be able to connect; You can visit Wikipedia to learn more about LTE bands supported by local operators. International buyers need to check the compatibility of frequency bands with local operators before placing the order; Countless Android apps from GGLE Play Store and ATOTO’s pre-installed GPS tracking app (TrackHU)

Over 1000 apps from the GGLE Play Store are compatible with the ATOTO S8 series, particularly media/entertainment and navigation apps in the "Auto & Vehicles" category. Very rarely, some app developers specify devices or system environments that can install or run their apps, preventing installation or execution on Android car radios.

Note: some apps are not compatible with S8 (Gen2), such as Netflix.

Built-in dual Bluetooth chip, connectable to multiple Bluetooth devices, customizable interface for Bluetooth and voice assistant.

Bluetooth 1 supports peripherals and hands-free calls with CD-level audio quality. Contacts and recent logs will sync as soon as the smartphone is connected. Supports "Quick Search" and "Add to Favorites" for fast dialing!

The built-in noise cancellation technology helps reduce background noise and echo during hands-free calls. You don't need to raise your voice to communicate with the other party.

Bluetooth 2 not only serves as internet tethering but also allows connection to Bluetooth gamepads (for kids in the back seats), OBD2 Bluetooth, TPMS Bluetooth, etc.

It can pair with devices such as the AC-4450 Car Diagnostic Scanner (not included) and the CI-FLT01 Floor Light (not included) for an enhanced experience.

Thanks to dual Bluetooth, the system allows connecting up to 3 devices simultaneously (one for audio, two for data communication).

The S8 Bluetooth can activate the phone's voice assistant (Siri, Google Assistant). This allows users to conveniently use a specific button on the screen, steering wheel, or the wireless remote ATOTO AC-44F8 to send messages and make voice calls.
