functionalities such as CD-player, AUX, SD and USB connections. Altogether, at
Winparts you can always find a car radio that matches your wishes and
requirements.
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. You can also buy
DAB antennas at Winparts.
