Best Android Car Stereos

Many of the car stereos on the market now have done away with most of the old legacy media options. Most of them now don't include any kind of support for optical media such as CDs or DVDs, and, of course, this isn't any kind of surprise. This is simply following a trend that car stereos have gone through over the years. Moving past 8 tracks and cassettes was seen as a natural progression, and doing away with optical media just follows that trend. However, this can be a bit inconvenient for those who still have large collections of CDs and DVDs that they don't want to throw away, but instead keep them for entertainment options while driving.

You won't need to throw those old discs away with the Pumpkin Double Din Android 9.0 Car Stereo. The presence of a CD / DVD drive makes it possible to watch movies and listen to music recorded on discs. Moreover, the disc will play stably even if there are shallow scratches, and will also not freeze when driving on rough roads. This gives you skip-free audio and video from your car stereo no matter what roads you are driving on, letting you enjoy your old media collection at the best possible quality while still giving you plenty of the modern features found on such types of car stereos.

The importance of wireless support on a car stereo may not seem to be one of its more important characteristics at first, but it really is an important attribute to have, especially for one that is using the Android operating system. Having some kind of wireless connectivity ensures that you can connect other mobile devices to the car stereo, either to use as audio input, or for other reasons. Also, an Android car stereo will benefit greatly from having some type of Internet access through WiFi, either to download updates or to take advantage of many of the functions and capabilities included in Android. That's why wireless connectivity is important to have in any Android car stereo.

The ATOTO A6Y2710SB Double Din Android Car Navigation Stereo was made specifically to take advantage of wireless connectivity. An external Wi-Fi antenna is included in the kit to provide the best WiFi signal reception when synchronizing with a smartphone or other wireless devices, letting you also connect online wherever a WiFI hotspot is available. In addition, the external GPS antenna will come in handy with frequent use of navigation, letting you take full advantage of the built-in GPS navigation features.

What is the most common use for a car stereo? A lot of people would probably answer this question by talking about the various media playback functions of their own particular model, but most people really mainly use a car stereo to listen to the radio. This is why so many morning shows on radio stations are popular. People like listening to the radio while going to and from work, or even checking out the local radio stations whenever they travel to another city. Since most driving actually occurs within their home city, though, their car stereos often spend the majority of the time playing their favorite local radio station.

The Henhaoro YHT-266 Android 9.0 car Stereo was made for those who still enjoy listening to their favorite radio stations while traveling to and from work. The powerful FM / AM tuner will be very useful for people who are used to listening to local radio stations while driving, allowing for the easy switching and scanning of the tuner to easily find and listen to different stations. In addition, the RDS function allows the stereo to display text information broadcast by the operator, which often includes information such as the name of the station as well as the name of the song that is currently playing. Those who always enjoy finding new music will particularly enjoy this function.

All of the functionality that is included in modern car stereos, especially those using the Android operating system, give a lot of features to users that simply weren't possible before. With this wealth of different features, though, there are also some new headaches that have come along. Probably the biggest one is in being able to utilize more than one feature of the stereo at a time. This makes it difficult to scan radio stations, find your favorite music from your music source, and use GPS navigation all at the same time. Using these features often requires paying a lot of attention to the stereo and not enough to the road, which can cause a dangerous situation.

The Corehan COCS-JD-AN-03(2/32) Double Din Android Car Stereo helps you take advantage of multiple features at a time while still keeping your attention on your driving. The screen sharing function will appeal to drivers who often use several functions of the car radio and do not want to spend time switching between them. So, for example, you can simultaneously switch songs and monitor satellite navigation, without having to constantly flip between apps. This keeps you entertained while still giving useful information at the same time, and also lets you keep your eyes on the road instead of constantly on the screen.

The biggest problem encountered with any car stereo is in how much attention operating it takes away from the driver. This was always true with traditional car stereos that only had a few limited functions but were often difficult to operate, but it is also certainly true of modern Android operated devices that include a large amount of built-in functionality. With the more options that are included, the more time it often takes to switch between whichever functions you need or want to use, and this distracts from driving. Any stereo that can offer true hands-free operation will let the driver take advantage of the stereo's functionality while still letting them pay full attention to the road.

The Eonon GA2178-Android 9.0-Bluetooth 5.0 Double Din Car Stereo is one model that actually offers true hands-free operation. The built-in microphone allows you to answer incoming calls, as well as have voice control of the car radio while you are driving, letting you keep your eyes on the road instead of on your stereo. If the device doesn't easily recognize your voice commands, then there is still no need to worry; you can use an external microphone that is included with the stereo to place it closer to yourself. This lets you easily operate it with voice commands even if there is a lot of background noise that may otherwise interfere with this process.
