Semi Truck Double DIN Stereos

A radio is an indispensable travel companion for many drivers, especially those who travel long distances. Double DIN radios have a large display, provide easy controls, and have plenty of storage space. However, a basic factory radio may not provide the sound quality, connectivity, and functionality demanded by today’s drivers and music aficionados. By upgrading to an aftermarket double DIN stereo, you can dramatically enhance your on-the-go listening experience as well as enjoy the added options like app radio, Bluetooth, screen mirroring and smartphone integration, a backup camera connection, and more.

Many of the aftermarket stereos have touch screens that are very convenient to use. A large display with huge icons makes it fast and easy to navigate through apps and menus. You can control music and other functions with your fingertips or voice commands. Some stereos also allow the use of your factory steering wheel buttons. Multi-device compatibility means you can enjoy a variety of services, music, and entertainment options that will add fun to long hours spent behind the wheel. You can play music from your CDs, an MP3 player, USB flash drive, or a smartphone, or listen to the radio.

Custom stereo receivers may include HD Radio and SiriusXM Radio, providing more stations and program choices with no static, pops, crackles, or fades. You can pair with Pandora or Spotify music streaming platforms for more music, podcasts, audiobooks, and other audio content. The MIXTRAX app will come in handy to enjoy an exclusive playlist with a non-stop mix of your smartphone’s music library. Another advantage of having a double DIN stereo is that it’s perfect for navigation and communication purposes. Some stereos already have preprogrammed maps. Or, you can use a navigation app from your smartphone to get directions via Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, or MirrorLink app that will show all its content and features on the built-in screen. Plus, you can play music, send text messages, make and receive calls, and more hands-free. Ask virtual assistants such as Siri or Amazon Alexa to give you directions or play your favorite song, set alarms, find what you need in your phone or on the web, and more.
