Speed Compensated Volume Control (SCVC)- Automatically adjusts S8's system volume as vehicle speed changes, to adjust for road and wind noise (applicable in 50mph or up. Software algorithms based on GPS positioning).S8 enables six touch gestures that support a two-finger / three-finger tap to enter the multi-task menu quickly, switch between preset 9 EQ modes, adjust the screen brightness, etc. which improves the operation safety during driving.

Great value for money, did everything I wanted

Edit: 08/19/2021. The block still works perfectly. T-Mobile had a "Activate Tablets, Get One Free" promotion. I inserted the tablet's SIM card and we have internet when we need it. Before that I tried the prepaid Mint as well as AT&T. All 3 worked great. Despite this, I am very happy that I bought this device. So glad the truck has an Android Auto. I am very happy with this radio. I bought it for several reasons: I liked the idea of a 10 inch screen, I wanted it to have Android Auto and Carplay

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • I will add later

Insane features at a great price, I can actually see it giving it up now

This head unit is way better than the Audi RNS-E system that came with my car from the factory. I connected it to the camera and the car was transformed. The default camera is now the same quality as my wife's 2019 car (though without the moving camera lines). Finally I can see the movement again. I bought it mainly to improve rear vision, but there are other benefits as well. It definitely sounds better than the original and the EQ is solid so I was able to get a decent sound but I really need

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • old

This thing is impressive

Done and working. Haven't played with him much. The sound is definitely better than the device I got out. The picture is excellent. Available for viewing at wide angles. Top notch support. You have some clever ways to mitigate the time zone issues. We have it in the camper. Taking a road trip this weekend so plan to update the review when we get back. It actually slid right into the mount and locked into place. I plan to replace it with the included mounts in the future for two reasons. 1. The…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some little things

Love it! Big display!

We love this main unit! Been in use for 2 weeks, no problems. I'll let you know if anything comes up. The 10-inch screen was initially a shock that had to be overcome. But it offers significantly more screen real estate and places it closer to the driver, making it much safer. Also gentler on our old eyes. You can use the attached pictures to decide if it fits your car. Sturdy screen mount with the ability to tilt at different angles and at different distances from the dashboard. Also installed

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Expensive

Fantastic upgrade in my camper van

I wanted to replace the radio in my camper van as it was almost useless to me. Couldn't read the display, sounded bad so it was rarely turned on. Couldn't even see the time on it. I was looking to upgrade to a standard double din radio, but then I discovered the Android head unit option. I did a little research and settled on the Atoto S8 10.1 inch model based on reviews of Atoto products and the fact that the 10.1 inch display is the exact size of the old radio and dash hole , which I had to…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Only available in black

I love this device

Getting Started. A lot can be said about this thing, mostly good things. It was packaged very well, all the accessories were neatly packed and kept separate from the stereo and screen. It looks phenomenal and sounds amazing (when properly tuned). Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS work great, and you can't even tell I have external antennas on my windshield unless I point it out. When I bought it I was concerned about the low power RCA outputs, but the high frequencies actually play a lot. louder than…

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

Wow, ATOTO will last for years

Got an email from Gina. Revain doesn't allow me to use Gmail. I bought this device for a long list of reasons. I just finished building my work demo truck. All interior was custom made, woodworking, sound system competition 2 years as I wanted customers to be able to see. So I didn't just want a standard head unit. I'm also a Linux/Android kernel writer, so I've been keeping up with Android headunits for about 3 years. It was the first time I saw a device that met my needs and to my surprise…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than others
