Car Radio vs Stereo Head Unit

Traditional car radios are older units without internet connection – typically they feature an FM tuner, a CD player, and/or an AUX input for your phone. They’re straightforward to operate, offering fewer controls and features, but come at a cheaper cost.

Modern stereo head units feature advanced technologies, including DAB (digital radio), Bluetooth connectivity, touchscreens, larger displays, and smartphone integration. This means that high-quality car stereos, like the ones at Halfords, offer much better audio quality, clearer sound, and often a greater variety among radio stations or digital streaming.

So, whether you crave versatility and modernity or simplicity and minimal distractions, we carry traditional and modern units suitable for every vehicle owner.

Single DIN and double DIN car stereos explained

At Halfords, we carry both single DIN and double DIN car stereos. But what’s the difference? A double DIN head unit is double the height of a single DIN car stereo and typically performs as a more modernised unit, as distinguished above.

You can check which stereo DIN your vehicle requires by measuring the existing stereo or by consulting your owner’s manual. Older cars are more likely to be limited to a single DIN stereo, while newer models tend to use a double DIN stereo.
