How to choose the right head unit?
First, check the format of the original slot: 1 DIN or 2 DIN. Then target the functions: CarPlay and Android Auto (wired or wireless), the screen size, rear-view camera input, and Bluetooth. An Android box adds CarPlay/Android Auto to an existing screen. For some vehicles, dedicated facias (Buick, Opel…) ensure a clean integration. Check the wiring harness compatibility and, if necessary, mount for steering wheel controls.

Frequently asked questions
1 DIN or 2 DIN, how to know?
Measure the height of the original slot: a 1 DIN is about 5 cm, a 2 DIN is dual that. Most recent vehicles accept a touch-sensitive 2 DIN; check your fascia before ordering.
Difference between wired and wireless CarPlay?
Wired CarPlay connects via USB cable; wireless pairs via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi for more comfort. Wireless avoids plugging in the phone for every trip, provided the head unit supports it.
Does an Android box add CarPlay to my head unit?
Yes: a multimedia box plugs into a compatible head unit and adds CarPlay, Android Auto, and apps, without changing the entire system. Check compatibility with your original screen.
