Dual Bluetooth chips inside, connectable to more Bluetooth-based devices,customized Bluetooth 5.0 w/ aptX HD audio codec and voice assistant interface

• The Bluetooth 1 works as Bluetooth hands-free (call/answer) with A2DP streaming audio feature. Contacts/recent records will be synchronized once the smartphone is connected. Supports "Quick Search" and "Add to Favorites" for quick dialing!
• Built-in Noise Cancellation Technology helps suppress background noise and echo feedback in a hands-free call. You don't have to yell at the car stereo to talk with the other one.
• ATOTO S8 Premium (Gen2) applies Qual-comm aptX HD codec, which was designed to answer the growing demand for high-resolution audio. This enhanced codec supports 24-bit music quality over Bluetooth. This means listeners can hear even the smallest details in their music. Even though the average Bluetooth streaming solution is enough for the majority. For these hypercritical people (who are more obsessed with HD audio quality), there is still regret. Now, enjoy wireless HD audio easily with S8;
• aptX Low Latency audio delivers sound in sync with what’s on-screen, reduces delay, and improves end-to-end speed of the audio transmission (reduce the delay from 120ms to a minimum of 40ms!), resulting in high quality, synchronized sound, so you never miss a beat.
• The aptX HD feature requires the phone side also to support Bluetooth aptX HD to perform correctly; Users can check this on Qual-comm aptX HD at ATOTO: aptx.com/products/atoto-in-car-entertainment-system
• The Bluetooth 2 not only works as Bluetooth tethering internet but also allows to connect to Bluetooth gamepad(for kids in rear seats), Bluetooth OBD2, Bluetooth TPMS, etc.;
• Because of dual Bluetooth inside, the system allows user to connect up to 3 devices simultaneously(one for audio, two for data communication).
• The customized Bluetooth in S8 allows to wake up the phone's voice assistant (Siri, Google Assistant) via Bluetooth connection. So users can use a specific button on the screen, steering wheel or ATOTO AC-44F5 wireless remote to send messages, make calls, and control music with your voice. Much safer, much convenient;
