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.
Audio/Video outputs are typically used to connect an overhead monitor to an aftermarket stereo. This is the number of A/V outputs that the item has. These outputs are usually RCA Composite cables.
RCA Composite Outputs 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.
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.
The preamp output rating is measured in volts (V). The higher the rating, the stronger the signal. This results in less unwanted noise being picked up.
In order to retain a vehicle's factory steering wheel remote controls, a wired-remote input is needed on the aftermarket stereo.
If "Yes", then the aftermarket stereo is compatible with steering wheel remote controls. If an additional accessory is required for the steering wheel controls to work properly, a compatible piece will be listed.
Allows control of specific features and functions from a remote control. Typically they are used to prevent button wear on your radio, or to allow easier navigation of menus.

A Single Din Car Stereo refers to a standard size for car audio head units, designed to fit into a specific dashboard opening in most vehicles. The term "Din" originates from the German Deutsches Institut für Normung, which sets the standards for car audio dimensions. A Single Din Car Stereo typically measures 2 inches in height by 7 inches in width. These head units come with various features such as AM/FM radio, CD player, USB input, Bluetooth connectivity, and more. Single Din Car Stereos are popular among older car models and vehicles with limited dashboard space. They offer a compact and sleek design while providing essential audio functions for an enhanced driving experience.
Single Din Car Stereos offer several advantages, making them a popular choice among car owners. Firstly, their compact size allows for easy installation in a wide range of vehicles, including older models that may not have space for larger Double Din head units. Secondly, Single Din Car Stereos often come at a more budget-friendly price point compared to their larger counterparts. They provide a cost-effective option for those seeking to upgrade their car audio system without breaking the bank. Additionally, these head units offer a variety of features such as Bluetooth connectivity, smartphone integration, and enhanced audio controls, providing a convenient and enjoyable driving experience.
Yes, in most cases, you can replace your factory car stereo with a Single Din Car Stereo. Single Din head units are designed to fit into the standard dashboard opening found in many vehicles. However, it's essential to ensure compatibility with your specific car make and model before making the switch. To do so, you can use a vehicle-specific installation kit or consult with a professional car audio installer. Upgrading to a Single Din Car Stereo allows you to enjoy better audio quality, additional features, and improved smartphone integration, enhancing your driving experience significantly.
When choosing a Single Din Car Stereo, consider the features that best suit your preferences and needs. Look for units with built-in Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to make hands-free calls and stream music wirelessly from your smartphone. USB and auxiliary inputs are essential for connecting external devices, and a CD player can be a valuable option for those who still use physical media. Smartphone integration features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide seamless access to your smartphone apps, navigation, and more. Additionally, pay attention to audio quality specifications, such as RMS power output and equalizer settings, to ensure excellent sound performance.
While some car enthusiasts may have the knowledge and skills to install a Single Din Car Stereo themselves, it's recommended to seek professional installation for the best results. Car audio installation can be complex, and mistakes can lead to electrical issues or damage to your vehicle. A professional installer will ensure proper wiring, secure mounting, and seamless integration with your car's existing systems. Additionally, they can provide valuable advice on selecting the right Single Din Car Stereo for your specific vehicle and preferences. To avoid potential problems and ensure a hassle-free installation process, it's wise to leave the task to experienced technicians who specialize in car audio installations.
