How to choose the correct Android Head Unit size for your car?

Are you considering upgrading your car stereo? There are a few key segments to consider. You need to equip your vehicle with excellent speakers, a roaring subwoofer, a stunning enhancer, and above all, a new Android head unit.

A good car infotainment system head unit will transform your in-car entertainment experience, and also offer state-of-the-art security features along with Internet, Bluetooth, and Smartphone connectivity.

When buying a car music system, know the right head unit measurement that will fit perfectly in your vehicle. Trak N Tell IntelliPlay Head Units come with different options and features for your needs.

Can any head unit fit in any car?

No, not every head unit will fit in your car simply because all head units are not the same size. Essentially, head units come in one of two DIN sizes, known as Single DIN head units and Double DIN Car Stereo. Some vehicles support 1.5 DIN head units too, which estimates 3 inches x 7 inches. So, before you are buying, you need to know the fascia panel size and whether your car fits a Single DIN or Double DIN.

How do you measure a head unit?

The total height, measuring from the inside of the bezel (the trim surrounding the stereo to conceal the bodywork) if the radio is installed in the dashboard. Generally, head units come in single DIN with 180 x 50 mm panel, or double DIN with double the height 180 x 100 mm panel size.

WHAT IS SINGLE DIN SIZE 

In the automotive industry, a Single DIN size head unit is the standard radio body or stereo head unit size, estimating 2 inches tall and 7 inches wide. The depth of the system can vary, so ensure you know about the head unit depth your vehicle dashboard can hold. At Trak N Tell, we don’t manufacture any Single DIN head units at the moment.

WHAT IS DOUBLE DIN SIZE 

As the name suggests, Double DIN size is twice as tall compared to a single DIN head unit, estimating 4 inches tall, with a width of 7 inches. A Double DIN head has a bigger dashboard screen, making it simpler to use.

Are all Head Units universal?

Most head units are not universal. You need to pick an Android head unit that fits perfectly in your car’s dashboard. There are universal head units that will fit most vehicle stereo system dashboards, however if you’re not sure, email us or talk to us on WhatsApp before you buy a car stereo.
