Double-DIN Radios: Better Sound, Bigger Screen
If your old auto's ancient sound system has you considering a replacement vehicle, don't ditch your investment just yet. The mobile installation team at Abt is equipped with extra-large double-DIN radios perfect for the modern driver. Behind-the-wheel DJs and road trippers alike will appreciate the extreme boost in display size along with increased safety capabilities.
Double-DIN refers to the size of the unit, which is normally close to four inches tall and seven inches wide—twice the height of the standard "Deutsches Institut für Normung", or DIN, version. These extra-large models are generally designed for vehicles that come with touch screens already installed, and ones that have lots of space on their dashboards. Extra height means extra visibility and even more capability, helping you get from point A to point B safely. You'll enjoy the ride along the way, whether you're tackling a tough commute or embarking on the cross-country vacation of the summer.
Safety First
When considering how to update your dashboard console, it's a good idea to prioritize passenger and driver safety above all else. Instead of trusting in your seat belt and airbags, stop accidents before they happen with help from extra-large double-DIN radio screens. Wiring your rear and front-facing cameras here is easy, while some models allow you to even view blind spots with a 4-camera input. Whether you're parking parallel or just backing into the driveway, parking guide lines displayed on the screen will make it easier to fit in that perfect spot. And that extra-large screen will ensure that you can see exactly what's happening—there's no need to crane your neck or spend time cursing at your parking job.
Wireless Smartphone Connectivity
Whether you love Apple phones or Android devices, you're sure to find a double-DIN radio that can connect to your smartphone. Make sure you choose a device that works with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for an optimized experience. With the added functionality, you'll be able to view your phone's navigation system, music app, take phone calls and see notifications all from the broad screen. There's no need to juggle your phone (that's distracted driving) to see your destination, and you don't have to reach for it to change the song. And with a properly installed audio system, you'll hear your favorite playlists like never before. Create the soundtrack to your next trip and hit the road knowing that you'll stay on track the whole time.
