Things to Know Before Buying an Android Car Radio
An internet car radio can elevate your music listening experience beyond what your pre-installed car radio can offer. Android car radios pair with your smart devices to provide hands-free Bluetooth for calls, GPS navigation and high-definition radio. You can find a wide assortment of new and used Android car radios on eBay.
Is your smart device compatible with an Android radio?
Compatibility between your smart device and your Android auto radio must be established prior to purchase. Imagine finding out after installing your Android radio that it's not compatible with your smartphone. An Android car radio is compatible with any device running Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher.
Some brands of Android radios require you to download an application on your smartphone. You can check compatibility by installing the application prior to your purchase.
What's the difference between single din and double din?
Din or Deutsches Institut für Normung is a standard of measurement that describes width and height for an Android car stereo head unit. For example, an Android auto radio may be listed as Android car stereo single din or Android car stereo double din in an online sale listing. If the Din isn't mentioned in the product title, you'll find it in the product description under unit size.
The best way to determine the size you'll need for your Android car stereo head unit is by measuring your radio, regardless of whether it came with your car or if it was replaced with an internet car radio. If it's 5cm tall, then you need a single din and if it's 10cm tall, you'll need a double din.
