How to Install an Android Head-unit in Your Car - ATOTO S8 Ultra Plus Review

Подробнее о видео

Here’s how to install an Android Tablet head unit in your car!
Installing a new stereo in your car will increase connectivity and bring your older vehicle to modern standards by adding features such as Bluetooth audio, WiFi, 5G internet connectivity, navigation, gesture controls, birds eye view and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

The unit installed in this video is an Atoto S8 Ultra with a 10.1” screen that fits inside a double DIN format. The vehicle demonstrated is a 2011 Toyota Sienna. Furthermore, the Atoto rear backup camera with 360 degree panoramic image stitching, front DVR dash camera and OBD II reader are demonstrated.


Installation of the headunit is similar to other double DIN units, which involves partial disassembly of the dashboard. Once removed, you’ll need a double DIN installation bracket kit and a wiring harness to convert your vehicle’s specific wiring harness to work with most aftermarket units.


Additionally, you’ll need a steering wheel control unit and a vehicle specific harness if you want to retain OEM controls. Finally, you’ll need tools such as a soldering iron and heat shrink to make the harness and basic hand tools to remove and install the unit and run wires into the dash.


Overall the Atoto S8 Ultra Plus, while pricey, has a lot of cool features that make aftermarket units very competitive with today’s OEM offerings. Having an Android Tablet installed in your car means you can install all apps available in the Google Play store as if it were your own phone. Atoto specific features such as the 360 degree panoramic camera, front DVR camera and OBDII reader work well. Some areas to improve on include the bracket’s adjustibility for tilting it downward, Bluetooth connectivity quirks, and adding a rear dash cam functionality.
