I've been installing stereos into vehicles for over 25 years and Atoto has made it very simple to upgrade your factory Double DIN radio. I already had an aftermarket radio in my car, and installation took only an hour to split and reconnect the necessary wires. The quality and appearance of the screen is much better than my previous Atoto F7XE. I appreciate having Android over Linux, as it seems to boot and connect to the phone much faster than normal. There is no wired connection, but I honestly never used it. I did run a couple of the USB leads to useful places to power small devices.The back of the unit makes connections a snap, and you can leave out the parts you aren't using. This keeps the wires from becoming a rats nest.The sound through my factory speakers is really, really good. There are plenty of options for changing the EQ if you want to, but out of the box it sounds great to me. Atoto continues to be the first company I look towards when I need car audio, and this unit already seems to be another step forward.

I have been using ATOTO products for nearly a decade and this new s8 packs a ton of high quality features into small package.1 - The QLED display is the most noticable upgrade after initial install. Its brighter, crisper, and that makes all your android apps that much more enjoyable to use.2 - The new sound coming out of this unit along with the DSP controls is by far my favoirte upgrade on this unit. It picks up where other android units leave behind, even the previous s8 ultra. The level of customization for real audio heads like me is a gamchanger for such a shallow profile double-din head unit. The output is also noticeably louder to both my amps at likely around 1.5X from that of my previous S8, meaning you wont need to add a seprate EQ ior signal processor to get LOUD.3 - The Gen4 is also the most responsive of the S line to date. Most noticeably for me was the CarPlay connection. In less than 5 seconds after connecting my iPhone via bluetooth, CarPlay automatically initiated and was up and running. I've seen factory units in 2026 vehicles take considerably longer than this unit.If you are in the market for a top tier head unit and wont the most value for your dollar, then dont hesitate to pick this gen4 s8 up right now. No other big name brand even comes close to the value you get per dollar in comparison.
