Overview
The Atoto S8 Gen4 is a 10.1 inch double din Android head unit built around an octa core MT8768 chip, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, with a built in 4G LTE modem for standalone data. It suits drivers who want wireless CarPlay or Android Auto plus internet access that does not depend on tethering to a phone.
Several of the headline features lean on accessories sold separately: the DriveChat AI functions need the AC-4450 OBD scanner, the dual DVR input needs AC-HD30FHU dash cams, and HDMI level input needs the AC-HAV50 adapter since there is no built in HDMI port. The included AC-HD01LR backup camera and a 12+6 month warranty are part of the box, not add-ons.
- 10.1 inch QLED display at 1280x800, 550 nits
- MT8768 octa core, 4GB RAM, 64GB storage
- Built in 4G LTE modem with SIM slot
- AC-HD01LR backup camera included, 720p, 140 degree view
Who it's for
Drivers upgrading a double din dash who want wireless CarPlay or Android Auto with independent LTE data and room to add DSP or dash cam gear later. Not a fit for anyone expecting the AI or DVR features to work without buying Atoto's own accessories.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto out of the box
- Built in 4G LTE modem for internet without phone tethering
- Backup camera included with a 140 degree view
- 32 band DSP tuning plus RCA preouts for future upgrades
- DriveChat AI needs the separately sold AC-4450 OBD scanner
- Dash cam recording needs separately sold AC-HD30FHU cameras
- HDMI level input needs the optional AC-HAV50 adapter
Performance notes
The octa core processor and 4GB of RAM get the unit to its home screen in about 2 seconds after ignition, and the 32 band EQ with time alignment and crossover controls lets the 4x45W peak amplifier be tuned for the cabin rather than left flat. The 4V RCA preouts and optical or coaxial digital outputs give a clean path to an aftermarket amp or subwoofer if you upgrade later.
