Always had single in my cars until the one now and put a double in it. It was pricey but feel its worth it. I now cant see myself going back to a single again ever again.



Its just so much better and easier to read stuff on the double, a lot more visual, better asthetics, can run a backup cam off it, the bigger screen is great for bluetooth calling, and just overall the extra screen real estate is what makes it worth it.



Always had singles and had to squint just to read the screens and just hated scrolling through songs and folders on them.



Anyone else upgrade to a double and cant see them going back to a single.

 

As someone who listens to the actual radio on his radio, I have no use for a double DIN head unit. If I had a HU with a USB input and started scrolling on a 1" screen to find albums/songs I'd ragequit and get a double DIN - so I see where you're coming from. The good part is YOU are pleased with your equipment.

 

I'd kinda like to go from my single Kenwood back to the factory head unit, unfortunately the PO installed the unit so i dont have the original. Then I'd use a Cassette AUX for music, Hate using CD's and Scrolling on aftermarket units. I would really like the Factory Look back, Ya know? The radio on my Kenwood doesn't work, but RARELY do I use the actual Radio anyway, so no big deal.

 

Meanwhile in Stockers car....

 

Double din is amazing. It allows for proper levels of insanity such as my going plan:

Why? Because I can

 

I have been asked if my Nakamichi CD-45z were the OEM radio. I chuckled and responded in the negative. This radio sounds way better than I expected. I'll replace it if it dies, but otherwise it's going to my next car when this one dies.



ETA: For the uninitiated, this very plain-looking head unit makes up for its lack of laser shark rocket shows on the front with high quality audio output.
