Looking At Video Units With GPS Support
A Soundstream Double DIN system can be utilized in your dashboard on your vehicle to produce a display that is convenient for your use. The display can include a touchscreen and Bluetooth support among other features.
What is the DIN Standard?
- DIN is short for Deutsches Institut fur Normung. This is a German organization that regulates standards for car head units.
- The Double DIN standard entails a head unit that is 7 by 4 inches in size. The Double DIN layout is two inches larger than a Single DIN unit, but it is also of the same width. You must use this size for your in-dash setup so it is easier for you to install your setup into an existing Double DIN port on your dashboard.
What are Some Touchscreen System Functions?
Your video unit may come with a touchscreen that helps you control many functions on your dashboard. This includes help for controlling everything from the stereo system to the GPS display or any connections you have to electric ports around your in dash unit.
What About Stereo Features?
A small opening may be included on the top part of your installation. You can use this as a CD player or you can insert a DVD that will link to an in-car entertainment system. The touchscreen layout also lets you control how well the stereo system works with an emphasis on adjusting any speaker, subwoofer or other audio feature in your vehicle. Don't forget about the MP3 player support that may come with your system.
What the GPS Display Offers
- Your GPS display will help you with identifying everything in your local area. You would access this feature on your LCD screen by going to the appropriate control menu and activating the GPS monitor. This would provide you with real time navigation data.
- Depending on the Soundstream model you get, you might find a unit that features a separate screen. This would require an extra bit of installation out of your kit.
- The features on this setup can include a favorites section that lets you save your favorite spots for travel or an adjustable screen that lets you zoom in and out of a space. You can use this for cases where you are traveling a long distance and need help with figuring out where you are going.
Bluetooth Support
Your installation may come with support for a Bluetooth signal. The design allows the dashboard to connect to a Bluetooth-enabled mobile device in your vehicle. The link may work with a digital media player or mobile phone among other item. A display screen can also list information on who is calling you on your phone, what is playing on your media player and other features.
