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

S8 MS provides 4 Methods for Internet Access - Wi-Fi/BT/USB Tethering & built-in Cellular Network Modem:

1). Wi-Fi/BT/USB Tethering

●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 demands.

●Compared with WiFi connection, Bluetooth tethering has lower power consumption, so the 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, then WiFi connection can be finished within 2-4s; Bluetooth connection requires 2 to 3 steps;

●USB network tethering is a newly introduced option by us, it allows users to share phone data with S8 via the USB connection. This could help save the phone battery, or even increase your phone battery level slightly; You only need to run the specific CarbitLink application in the background;

2). Built-in Cellular Network Modem

●The SIM card slot only takes micro size. SIM with Data Plan is not included in the product package. The built-in cellular network 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.

Countless Android apps from Google Play Store and our pre-installed GPS Tracking App (TrackHU)

●More than 1000 apps from Google Play Store are compatible with 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.

●We are committed to delivering the best for our customers, constantly developing exclusive apps for Android head units. We're excited to introduce our GPS Tracking App (TrackHU) on S8.

●TrackHU simplifies car locating with real-time vehicle tracking on a user-friendly map. Customize alerts, set geofences, access analytics, and view past data, speed, and distance. Enjoy 24-hour security, tracking your car from anywhere in the world. Activate GPS and network and scan the TrackHU's code to access the TrackHU Manager webpage. All the information you need is right at your fingertips. Stay tuned for more exciting developments as we continue to enhance your driving experience!
