| This picture above shows a double din stereo. Most of these stereos have screens on the front of them. Some with screens as small as 3.5" and as big as over 7". The size of the screen does not affect if it is a double or single din frame. Sometimes the manufacturer of the radio may put a bigger screen and reduce the size of the border around the screen. Also, the screens are measured diagonally. Double Din is based on the frame of the radio. This is how aftermarket radios are measured so that they can fit in aftermarket radio dash kits. |
