Should You Buy a Single Din or Double Din Stereo?

by Samantha Gibbs Blogger

Buying a car stereo is not an easy task, I have seen many fellows how just get confused while buying a car stereo. There are two major types of car stereo available in the market and they are single Din and Double Din Car Stereo. In this article, I will explain in detail about the features and differences between the both types of car stereos. Before you make your decision, it is recommended to access what your car features. A double Din car stereo is larger is size and you should only buy it, if your car supports it and is compatible with stereo.

Single Din Stereo is smaller in size, compact and does not come with features like a touch screen, HDMI, rear-view camera among many others.

I will explain few of the features of car stereo here:

Compatibility: if you compare both the single din and double Din stereo, you will notice, that a double Din stereo is always a better option. You can use Bluetooth and HDMI connectivity options that are normally present in the double Din car stereo.

Screen Size: Now this is amazing, there is no video screen for a single Din car stereo. However if you buy a Double Din stereo, you have the option that range from 5 inches in size to around 7 inches in size.

Rear-View Camera: Again, this is only available in the double Din stereo. This is my personal favorite option and I just love it. I had a couple of accidents while parking and reversing my car, now thanks to the technology, I can use this camera.

Cell Phone Connectivity: Now, this is an amazing feature that is only available with a double Din car stereo. A double Din stereo comes with both an Android version and Car Play for Apple phones. Just by using these apps, you can use all the best features of your cell phone on your car stereo.

Space Requirements: This is simple, single Din stereo requires less space as there is no video screen. If your car comes with a double Din stereo, you have the option to select either a single or a double Din car stereo. Now there are Din size charts that come with the instruction manual that mentions all the details.

Assistant: One of the amazing features of the Android car stereo is the presence of the Google assistant. Just ask anything and it will guide you with best options. Similarly for Apple Car Stereo, you can use SiRi, that also works magic like Google assistant. I prefer using Google assistant as it comes with my Android mobile phone.

Brands: There are many brands that are now manufacturing quality products. I always recommend reading buyers reviews before making any decision. There are many brands that just deliver pathetic products, only buy car stereo that comes with a manufacturer warranty. Boss Audio, Pioneer, Deny and Kenwood, these are among the few best brands that are manufacturing quality products.

If you have any questions, just post here and I will get back with all the details.
