Single DIN: 1 DIN dimensions will work with all single DIN installation kits we have to offer. Single DIN radios are the most common size for after-market stereos.

Single DIN slot with flip-out screen: The DIN stereo includes a retractable, flip-out screen. Before purchasing, make measurements to be sure there is no interference with dash accessories such as A/C vents or shift levers.

Single DIN slot with a larger face: Standard single DIN size, but the display is larger then the standard single DIN size. Due to the nature of the larger face, problems may arise when installing in particular vehicles. These stereos are great for single DIN slots where you want a larger screen.

1.5 DIN: This size is very uncommon in vehicles, however this size opening is most commonly found in Chrysler and Chevrolet vehicles.

Double DIN: Approximately 4-inches in height, this size is becoming more common every year. Prior to 2000, this size was typically only found in Japanese vehicles such as those made by Honda or Toyota. Now, it is becoming more popular for many vehicles to be fit with a Double DIN opening.

These inputs enable the unit to receive an audio or video signal from a separate source. There are many different types of connections and ways to accomplish this. Most common are RCA Composite cables and 3.5mm mini-jack plugs.

RCA Composite Inputs
These are your typical red, white, and yellow RCA composite cables that are common among devices with audio and video inputs. The red and white cables are dedicated for audio. The red cable is for the right channel and the white is for the left channel. The yellow cable is specifically for the video signal. Because this type of auxiliary cable contains 2 channels of audio, it will support stereo sound.

3.5mm
This is commonly referred to as a mini-jack or a headphone jack. It is a 3.5mm plug that transfers audio only. There is a right and left audio channel on the plug which allows for stereo sound playback.

3.5mm AV Input
These plugs look similar to the common 3.5mm mini-jack, however they carry a third channel dedicated for video.

Optional
This means that an auxiliary input is possible, but only with the use of an optional accessory. These optional adapters will sometimes use the CD Changer port or other port on the back of a unit that might restrict the use of other expandability features. These accessories are typically sold separately.

RCA outputs, commonly known as preamp outputs, allow you to connect one or sometimes multiple external amplifiers. An in-dash receiver will commonly have one, two or three sets of RCA outputs that can be used to connect external amplifiers and other components. One pair of RCA outputs will typically provide a full range signal that can be used for most subwoofer or speaker amplifiers. Two pairs of RCA outputs can typically be configured as four full range signals, or also as two full range and two subwoofer signals. Three sets of RCA outputs will almost always produce four speaker signals and two subwoofer signals for use with multiple amplifiers.

    FAQ Frequently asked questions in Bluetooth Car Stereos


    Bluetooth Car Radio Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    A Bluetooth Car Radio is an audio system designed for vehicles that incorporates Bluetooth wireless technology. It allows you to connect your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled devices to the car radio wirelessly. Once paired, you can stream music, podcasts, or make hands-free phone calls directly from your device to the car's audio system. Bluetooth Car Radios utilize the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for high-quality audio streaming and the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) for seamless call functionality. The pairing process is typically simple and user-friendly, enabling a convenient and safe driving experience without the need for tangled wires or cables.
    Yes, Bluetooth Car Radios are compatible with a wide range of Bluetooth-enabled devices, including smartphones, tablets, and music players. As long as your device supports Bluetooth technology and the relevant profiles for audio streaming and hands-free calling, you can easily connect it to the car radio. Most modern smartphones come with Bluetooth functionality, making them readily compatible with Bluetooth Car Radios. Additionally, some Bluetooth Car Radios also support voice commands, allowing for hands-free control and access to features like Siri or Google Assistant for enhanced convenience while driving.
    Bluetooth Car Radios offer decent sound quality for most users, but it may not match the pristine audio quality of wired connections like USB or auxiliary inputs. The sound quality can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the audio files, the Bluetooth codec supported by the devices, and the overall audio setup of the car. The most common Bluetooth codec used for audio streaming is SBC (Subband Coding), but some advanced Bluetooth Car Radios support higher-quality codecs like AAC or aptX for improved sound fidelity.
    Bluetooth technology used in modern car radios has undergone significant improvements to ensure security. When pairing your device with the car radio for the first time, you may need to enter a passkey or confirm a code displayed on both the device and the car radio to establish a secure connection. Additionally, Bluetooth connections use encryption to protect data transmission, making it difficult for unauthorized parties to intercept or tamper with the data.
    Yes, even if your vehicle doesn't have built-in Bluetooth support, you can still enjoy the benefits of Bluetooth connectivity with the help of aftermarket Bluetooth Car Kits. These kits can be installed in your car and offer similar Bluetooth functionality as built-in Bluetooth Car Radios. They typically connect to the car's audio system through the auxiliary input or FM transmitter and provide Bluetooth pairing for audio streaming and hands-free calling. Bluetooth Car Kits are a cost-effective and practical solution for adding Bluetooth capability to older car models or vehicles without factory-installed Bluetooth radios.
