- Differences between Single DIN and Double DIN Android Car Stereo
If you want to buy an aftermarket Android 4.4 car stereo, you should base on your car’s year, make and model. Normally, aftermarket head units are rectangular and the standard car stereo size is referred to as single DIN. Most cars have single DIN stereo slots. The measurement of a standard single DIN slot is 50mm height by 178mm width. Most car radios will slide directly into the single DIN slot without requiring an additional adapter kit. However, some DIN models may require an installation kit. The second most common car stereo slot size is the double DIN. Double DIN slots are twice as tall as the standard single DIN slots, but they have the same width as single DIN stereos. We carry double DIN car stereos that slide directly into the double DIN slot. If you have the space, double DIN models are great because they usually feature LCD monitors for video playback and GPS navigation. Actually, the double DIN Android head units have become more popular: many vehicle manufacturers (especially of Asian cars) created a DIN CD player for use with a DIN cassette/radio unit. The main advantage to an aftermarket double DIN is that it’ll look better in the dash of a vehicle that uses a stock double DIN head unit. A larger head unit can have larger controls and a larger display, which making it easier to use. The best in-dash mobile video and navigation units are double DIN, because they don’t require a flip-out mechanism for the viewscreen. Regardless of classification (single DIN, double DIN, etc.), the stereo’s depth is unique for each model. The installation may require some customization if your vehicle has a relatively shallow cavity. Though you may wish to perform custom installs, it’s always wisest to choose a model that will fit your car perfectly. Check out our website to find out what will exactly fit your vehicle. This will save you a lot of time, money and hassle when it comes time to install your car stereo.
