Car audio has evolved significantly from the days of AM radio in classic cars like the 1967 Ford Falcon XR GT or 1978 Holden Torana SLR 5000. Today’s vehicles feature advanced multimedia systems that enhance sound quality while offering essential safety features like navigation and smartphone integration.
A car head unit is the central control panel for audio and connectivity. Modern units, usually touchscreen, allow users to manage music, make hands-free calls, and sync with apps through Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, or Android Auto.
Head units come in Single DIN (50mm high) and Double DIN (100mm high) sizes. Single DIN units suit older cars with limited space, while Double DIN units offer larger touchscreens for improved navigation and entertainment.
Key features to consider include sound quality, wireless connectivity, USB and AUX inputs, and app compatibility. Allow 12V Solutions to supply and install the perfect head unit for your car.
