I have been using an ATOTO A6PF for the past couple of years and have had nothing but a great experience both with the unit itself and with ATOTO customer service. So it was a no-brainer when it came time to choose what brand I wanted to go with to replace it with an upgrade. Installing the S8 was as simple as disconnecting the wiring harness from the old unit and swapping it out and connecting the 4G antenna. Having an active mobile connection option built into the S8 is a huge bonus I had no idea I needed until I used it! The head unit itself is physically shallow in depth, which is super convenient because it gives you plenty of space to work with as far as space needed to easily accommodate all the in-dash wiring. I am using the built in amplifier to drive my speakers and it has all the power I need. The sound quality out of the S8 is GREAT, but I must say that it does require some adjusting of the EQ to get the most out of it, which at 32 bands can be dialed in exactly to where you want it. You can "draw" the entire EQ spectrum to make quick work of it, but you can also "Switch" it to fine tune each individual frequency and then some. I drew in a great sound in seconds but really got into the nitty gritty one day when I had the time and made it perfect for my ears. So it's great for both those who like to tweak their settings and those who just want to get tune it on the fly. The screen is bright and easily viewable in direct sunlight and the resolution is superb down to the finest details and smallest print. Input is extremely responsive and paging through menus is as snappy as my own personal tablet. Downloads and updates were installed without a single issue. My experience with ATOTO customer service both present and in the past has been honestly amongst some of the best I've ever had with any product. Any question or snag I ever ran into (a snag of my own doing ha) was completely resolved in less than a day and often within a few hours. They are one of the few companies who go above and beyond for their customers, so I can always rest assured they will take care of me if any issues rise in the future. For both price and quality, I can say for certain they are one if not THE best you can get in this category.

Update: It is stuck in a factory reset loop. Completely unusable at 14 months. Finding support or firmware since it's not OTA updatable, is near impossible. It's not on the site or the warranty and updates pages. It was never great, you never knew if it would connect to your phone or how. It has a lot of bloatware you cannot get off of it. And CarPlay is a major after thought. DO NOT buy this if you want CarPlay, go with a more reputable brand. I self installed this paired with the atoto amp. The installation was fairly easy. I did need to buy a scoche adapter and make some connections, which again were easy and provided a bit more room to maneuver. For the money it's a decent CarPlay android unit. Is it awesome, no. The connectivity is wonky and drops often. Connecting it to wifi is near impossible and tethering a phone to it has been impossible as well. The atoto dash cam is a decent add on but takes up the only data cable you have, but, it doesn't seem to work for data from a phone for music or anything anyway. Again another connectivity issue. Music drops often due to this issue. The screen is plenty bright and the touch sensitivity is fine. If I knew which model would have provided a more stable connection either physically or wireless I would go that route. Can't say I would buy again,, probably wouldn't.

Still learning how to use it, touch response is a bit laggy at time and you open any app every button is small (Spotify, YouTube, maps). Sound quality is good but definitely have to go into developer mode to turn it up more. If you live in Florida the screen does get hot at times but it's normal. Video quality is really nice. Definitely happy I have it, easy to use, had a lot of help from some videos on YT.

Ease of Installation: The ATOTO S8 MS impressed me right from the start with its straightforward installation process. The included instructions were clear, and the wiring harness was well-labeled. Within no time, I had it securely mounted and connected to my 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser Sound Quality: The audio output is crisp and well-balanced for using the stock speakers. I am not an audiophile, but this delivered the sound quality I expected in other review. Wireless Apple CarPlay: Pairing my phone was seamless, and I love the convenience of not needing a physical cable. The touch responsiveness on the S8 MS screen is excellent, and navigating through apps feels intuitive. Whether I’m using Maps, Spotify, or responding to messages, the wireless CarPlay functionality works flawlessly. Bluetooth Calls: the ATOTO S8 MS falls short when it comes to Bluetooth calls. The call quality is disappointing. Conversations sound muffled, and there’s noticeable distortion. Even adjusting the volume or tweaking settings didn’t significantly improve the situation. Unfortunately, there’s no way to enhance call quality with an external microphone. I have search all the reddit forums to see how disable the internal mic on the unit and it's not possible. I would have returned the unit but just decided to use a spare set of air Pods for calls. Accessories Purchased and installed. Yes, I went all in.... ATOTO AC-4450 ATOTO AC-44P2 ATOTO AC-44F8
