Car radio sizeCar radios are divided into 2 basic sizes, 1DIN car radios and 2DIN car radios . 1DIN size car radios - the exact dimensions including the metal frame where the car radio is inserted are 184 x 53 mm, the external dimensions of the branded 1DIN car radio are 188 x 59 mm. We know 2DIN car radios from newer vehicles, a classic example is the VW Golf IV with navigation. The dimensions of a 2DIN car radio without a metal frame are 180 x 101 mm, the external dimensions of a branded 2DIN car radio are 189 x 119 mm.	2DIN
Car radio performanceThe performance of the car radio shown in maximum values. This is therefore the MAX value. The performance of the internal amplifier of the car radio. Today, the RMS power of a car radio ranges from 17 - 30 W RMS per channel.	4 x 50 W
Supported formats via USB inputList of all supported formats (MP3, AAC, Flac, DivX, etc.) that the car radio can play via USB input.	MP3, WMA, AAC, AVI, MP4, MKV, FLAC
USB inputThe USB input of the car radio is used to connect a USB flash drive or smartphone. Today, playing music via USB is the most popular way to listen to music in the car. The USB input can be front (on the front panel of the car radio) or rear (on the back of the cable).	Yes
CD driveCar radios with CD drive. Car radios that have an input slot for inserting a CD.	No
DVD driveDVD ("Digital Versatile Disc" or "Digital Video Disc") is a digital optical data carrier format that can contain movies or various other data. Car radios with a DVD drive can also play classic CD discs, and the car radio always has a slot for only one disc, the CD drive and the DVD drive are always in one.	No
Integrated BluetoothBluetooth is a communication technology used for wireless connection between two or more electronic devices. A mobile phone, for example, can be connected to a car radio with built-in Bluetooth. Most car radios for 2017 and later can also wirelessly stream (play) music via Bluetooth -> A2DP function.	Yes
Number of RCA outputsRCA outputs , colloquially called "cinches", are used to connect an external amplifier or active subwoofer. Aftermarket car radios are usually equipped with 1 to 3 pairs of RCA outputs. FRONT, REAR and SUB are used. It also depends on how many volt outputs the car radio is equipped with. More basic models of car radios have 2V outputs, more expensive units have 4V and more. The higher the specified value, the less power demands are placed on the external amplifier and the sound quality increases.	3 pairs
Output level on RCAAn important parameter if you are going to install an external amplifier. If you purchase a car radio with a basic value, i.e. 2V outputs, then greater demands will be placed on the power of the amplifier. As the value increases, e.g. 4V or 5V, the power of the external amplifier increases significantly, in layman's terms. A car radio with strong outputs therefore has the advantage that you do not pull so much power through the amplifier and thus achieve a better sound, as external amplifiers lose control at higher loads.	4 V
Made for Apple iPod & iPhoneWhen connecting an Apple device to the car radio, music applications can be controlled using the car radio itself, i.e. basic common functions.	Yes (KCU-422i / KCU-471i)

DimmerThe Dimmer function is used to automatically reduce the brightness after dark. The dimmer can usually be set manually in a few steps.	Yes
Equalizer / DSP processorA basic or parametric equalizer allows you to adjust the sound at individual frequencies in finer steps. Using the DSP processor , you can set the time correction, connect the speakers actively (actively): without crossovers, set the location of the speakers and determine their size digitally.	Yes
Built-in DAB+ tunerIntegrated DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting) digital FM tuner for reception of digital FM radio signal broadcasting. Before buying a car radio with a DAB+ tuner, we recommend checking whether the package includes a DAB+ antenna, without which you cannot receive digital broadcasts. This information is usually provided on the manufacturer's official website.	Yes
Direct subwoofer controlSubwoofer settings, where you can add or subtract the dB level, i.e. subtract or add bass according to the recording. Higher class car radios can also rotate the phase and other functions for perfect bass. Some car radios allow you to turn off the subwoofer completely, with a button in the car radio menu. This is a very useful feature if you have a subwoofer in your car.	Yes
Removable front panelPossibility to remove the entire front panel of the car radio by pressing the side button. A very effective weapon against car radio theft. We recommend not hiding the panel in the vehicle, but taking it with you. Alternatively, place the panel in a hidden place in the trunk, but not when leaving the car, but before parking. You never know when a thief might be watching you.	No
