 | There are more and more cars with 2 DIN slots for car radios and a device of the appropriate size will look much more solid in it than 1 DIN radio with pocket. Therefore, if you are not going to use auxiliary video functions, then this model will allow you to save money and at the same time not lose the torpedo style conceived by the factory. Pioneer FH-X360UB, although it is an entry-level radio, still has more advanced features when compared with 1-DIN solutions of the same level. The controls on the non-removable front panel are enlarged in size, Pioneer's largest is the volume control, which is quite logical, since we use it most often. With the SRS button you can select the signal source: radio, CD player, USB or AUX. The tuner supports the RDS function, can store up to 18 FM and 6 MW stations in memory. The device only plays MP3/WMA formats directly from a USB stick, while it can also read WAV from a CD. The manufacturer provides support for iPod, iPhone, Android. The MIXTRAX function (only works with USB media) combines music tracks into an original medley. Pioneer likes to equip their head units with a lot of audio controls, especially for bass tuning. For example, in This model has three types of low frequency addition: this is a five-band equalizer that allows you to add plus 10 dB of bass or select one of the fixed SUPER BASS settings, this is the BASS BOOST bass boost function and this is the LOUD function with three levels of bass and treble loudness. These three solutions are optional and not intended to be turned on at the same time, but if you still go too far with adding bass and get confused in the settings, then it's okay — you can turn on the HPF filter and filter out the overloaded bass from the speakers. The LPF mirror filter works both on acoustic outputs and on two pairs of line outputs. Similar non-multimedia radios: JVC KW-R510 and Alpine CDE-W233R . |
 | Pioneer AVH-160DVD The large 6.1-inch touch screen with 800x480 resolution is much more convenient to use than the usual panel with buttons. Only the main controls are placed on the side panel closest to the driver, most functions are launched on the monitor. The choice of sources (radio, CD / DVD, USB, AUX, camera) is carried out not by scrolling with a single Source button, as in screenless models, but by direct selection from the desktop. Loading a disc is direct, through a slot on the front panel with protective shutters from dust. The USB port is located at the back, but it is extended with a complete cable and output to the glove compartment. And this makes sense, since the front panel looks more aesthetically pleasing when a long "flash drive" does not stick out of it, and it will not work to accidentally hook and break the rear USB connector. Pioneer reads WAV/MP3/ audio formats WMA/AAC and DivX/Xvid/MPEG1,2,4 video. The search function for preset radio stations and CD/DVD/USB content is displayed on the monitor as a list of titles, just like on a PC monitor. When playing a video / audio file, the slider at the bottom can fast forward / rewind. If for a PC user such rewinding is a common thing, then for a car radio user it is a new luxury. In this model, the background and colour of the backlight of the screen change, and you can choose your splash screen background by copying a JPEG photo< /b>. Sound settings are similar to those of the previous device, only using them on the touch screen is much more convenient. The user can also create his own menu with individual settings: from the total number of functions, you can select only the most requested ones and create a personal menu based on them. There are two pairs of audio line outputs: front and rear or front and subwoofer. There is a monitor output for passengers sitting in the back. The video input for the reversing camera is turned on automatically when the reverse gear is shifted. the camera works constantly with the ignition on, then the image of the reversing camera can also be seen when moving forward by selecting the appropriate icon on the desktop screen.

 | Sony XAV-741 The 7-inch screen of this model occupies almost the entire area of the “two-din” space, only a narrow strip with thin and inconspicuous control buttons remains below: volume , source selection, open motorized disc loading/eject panel, display information and return to home. The opening front panel is also non-removable here. The removable front panel was invented to protect against theft of the car radio, and for a thief with a limited time, stealing a 2 DIN unit is much more difficult and dangerous than 1 DIN. That is, a 2 DIN device is protected by a more complex type of mount, which can only be reached with a partial disassembly of the dashboard. Sony has a very bright and rich screen picture with a resolution of 800x480 pixels. In addition to standard sources (tuner, disk, USB, AUX), three pages of the desktop contain sources for iPod, MirrorLink, BTAudio, camera. The SensMe function groups songs of different genres from a flash drive by tempo, style of music, offering you to select songs based on the type of performance. MirrorLink technology provides the ability to control smartphone applications from the radio display. The technology supports iPhone, iPod Touch, all Android smartphones and Symbian smartphones Nokia 701, 700, 603, N8, E7, C7, X7 and C6-01. Ability to split the front and rear speakers into two zones listening will be of interest to owners of minibuses who love to travel with their families. By enabling the Dual Zone function in the radio, passengers in the rear seat will be able to watch a movie on the rear monitor, listening to the sound from the rear speakers, while the driver will listen to music from the “flash drive” through the front speakers. < p> |
 | Alpine IVE-W530BT The device has a 6.1-inch touchscreen monitor with a resolution of 800x480 pixels. The prefix BT in the name means the presence of a Bluetooth module, which provides the implementation of the "hands-free" functions and the Bluetooth Audio player. For better hands-free calls, Alpine comes with an external microphone (with the ability to adjust its sensitivity), which is connected to the rear connector and output above the left A-pillar so that the driver can be heard better during a telephone conversation. You can also use the player via Bluetooth Audio and listen to music from a smartphone, phone or other devices that support wireless data transfer. Optional navigation (purchased separately) can be connected to the Alpine IVE-W530BT, which is connected via the rear RGB plug and installed discreetly in the car behind the head unit. The image on the screen can be divided into two parts, half-screen for navigation and half-screen for the source currently playing: radio, CD / DVD / USB / AUX. The model has two AUX- inputs: front for audio devices and rear for connecting audio / video sources, for example, to watch video from an overhead monitor. Also, the video signal can be sent back to the rear monitor, in which case you can view the same video on two screens. The rear USB port is convenient in that it can be brought to a convenient place. The ability to connect a reversing camera is also provided. WAV format is read only from a CD, and the rest of MP-3/WMA/AAC/DivX/Avi is the same from both CD and USB. There are three pairs of line outputs, which means that we have separate and independent control of the front, rear and subwoofer connected via an external amplifier. Alpine also supports infrared remote control via a separately purchased remote control and control of standard steering wheel buttons via an adapter purchased separately.

 | Alpine INE-W928R This head unit boasts a very large 8-inch screen and built-in map navigation for all of Europe. On such a screen, you can see the name of even the smallest streets, you can simultaneously display navigation on one half, and audio / video sources on the other. If there is one car in the family, and there are two users, then for the husband and wife, you can create individual settings. Including: independent sound settings, connecting the radio to the phone via Bluetooth, radio stations, shortcut buttons, etc. The CD / DVD drive is hidden under a motorized non-removable panel and reads the most common formats: DVD-Video, CDDA, MP3/WMA/AAC, DivX. The USB connector is located on the back of the radio, with the help of a complete extension cord it can be led into the glove box or armrest, where you can discreetly hide the hard drive, iPod, iPhone, etc. Chic-sounding 8-inch Alpine has a built-in digital DSP sound processor, which allows you to further improve the sound quality of the audio system by adjusting it to the type of interior (sedan, hatchback, van), steering wheel / acoustics, tweeters / subwoofer, seat material, etc. Alpine supports the connection of two view cameras: front and rear with the ability to switch the view of the picture (panorama, down, corners, etc.) and on / off markings for easy parking. Support for MirrorLink technology has been implemented to control smartphone applications directly from the radio screen. Alpine also supports the display of information on the factory display and control from the factory buttons on the steering wheel (via adapters purchased separately).
