1-DIN and Double din car stereo
There are actually two types of car radios. There is the 1-DIN car stereo and the Double DIN car stereo. The word DIN indicates the dimension of the radio. This means that there are two types of dimensions. The 1-DIN is the standard format car radio with a small display. These often have the standard radio functions, with or without DAB+, Bluetooth, USB and AUX. A Double DIN car stereo is often double the size of a 1-DIN radio and has a large touchscreen. These car radios often have a lot more function than a 1-DIN. Often they include navigation functions, hands-free calling, movie functions and many more. However, there are also 1-DIN car radio?s that have a folding screen or an option to place your smartphone. These radios, therefore, have the standard format, but the advantages of a Double DIN car stereo.
Car stereo Bluetooth
In addition to choosing the format of the radio, you can also choose a radio with or without Bluetooth. Bluetooth car stereos have many advantages over those without Bluetooth. With a Bluetooth car radio, you can stream music wirelessly. In this case, you no longer have to use AUX cables or USB / SD. Another big advantage of a Bluetooth car stereo is, that it makes hands-free calling in the car possible.
FM or DAB car radio
Most of you are familiar with the analogue FM and/or AM tuner radio. But, nowadays there are also DAB car radios. DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting and is the standard for digital channels. DAB+ is again the successor of the DAB car radios and stands for more quality and more channels. With a DAB+ car stereo, you can listen to interference-free radio with all channels on one fixed frequency. Another advantage of a DAB car radio is that you are always up to date with the latest news. File update and (soccer) match results will appear on the display. But be aware, for a DAB car radio you also need a DAB antenna. Your normal car aerial is not suitable. Most of the times the antenna will be supplied with the car stereo.
