Guides and comparisons

• Car Stereo Buying Guide by Budget: Bluetooth, CarPlay, Wireless and Floating ScreensFrom $100 to $250, you get a Bluetooth receiver for a single-DIN dash, like the JVC KD-X280BT and the BOSS Audio BE7ACP with wired CarPlay. From $250 to $500, you get a double-DIN touchscreen with wired CarPlay, like the Kenwood DMX4710S or Pioneer DMH-1800NEX, or wireless CarPlay, like the JVC KW-M785BW. From $500 to $1,000 come HD screens, more camera inputs and features like built-in GPS. At $1,000 and up are the 9- to 11-inch floating screens. Every price in this guide is the listed price on the product page.
• How to Pick an Apple CarPlay or Android Auto Head UnitPick the radio around your car and how you use your phone, not around the biggest screen on the wall. Decide wired or wireless, figure out what shape your dash allows, and plan to keep your steering wheel buttons and factory features. Then we confirm the exact parts for your vehicle before anything comes apart.
• Floating-Screen Car Stereos Compared: Kenwood, Pioneer, JVC, Sony and StingerPick a 9-inch floating screen like the Pioneer DMH-WT5000NEX, JVC KW-Z900W when you want a bigger screen than a double-DIN and your dash has room for it. Pick a 10.1-inch screen like the Kenwood DMX1037S, JVC KW-Z1001W or Pioneer DMH-WT6000NEX for the biggest view in most trucks and cars, and the Kenwood Excelon Reference DMX1057XR or DMX1058XR when tuning control matters as much as the screen. Fit depends on your dash, so the shop checks the car first.
