Among car audio systems, Kenwood presents multimedia receivers (including those with the ability to navigate), 2-DIN CD receivers, as well as a full range of related accessories.
2. SONY
Everyone knows this company, and the slogan “It’s a SONY” has been a sign of the standard quality guarantee for more than a dozen years, incl. and in car audio. The company was able to win the deserved love of Russians and the title of "the most popular car radio" in the 90s of the last century with its high-tech (and then still - cassette) models. Today, the company's portfolio includes a wide range of car entertainment systems with state-of-the-art fillings. A nice bonus of this technique is support for iPod / iPhone as a source of high-quality sound.
1. Pioneer
And the title " best car radio"Deservedly receives the Pioneer brand, the main direction of production of which is high-class automotive electronics, as well as its sound component. The company manufactures. The most functional models of car radios are equipped with widescreen touch displays with a diagonal of up to 7 inches. Their capabilities allow not only listening to Hi-Fi-quality music, but also arranging a small cinema, the screen of which, although small, has powerful support in the form of high-quality multichannel sound.
As stated in the famous film: "The song helps us to build and live." Indeed, it is music that helps to brighten up a boring road on long trips or shorten hours in traffic jams. The car radio is an indispensable device in the interior of every car. How to choose a car radio, we will figure it out further.
Modern cars are not complete without a music system. On new cars in the basic configuration, radio tape recorders are installed along with speakers. The quality of the system depends on the level of the vehicle. Car radios are both budgetary and more "advanced".
How to make the right choice
In order to choose the right car radio, it is better to pay attention to the following characteristics when buying:
- Case dimensions.
- Sound carrier type.
- Connection system.
- Radio power.
- Acoustic data.
Let's take a closer look at these characteristics.
Case dimensions
Car radios have standard dimensions for European DIN. In this case, there are two sizes of devices:
- DIN 1. Width 180 mm, height 50 mm.
- DIN 2. Width 180 mm, height 100 mm.
At first glance, it might seem that a large screen radio would be better, but in reality this is far from the case. Most of the budget models with a large screen have a low-quality menu and poor color reproduction. This will not affect the sound in any way. As a rule, a radio tape recorder is designed to listen to music, not watch videos.
Thus, it would be better to buy a cool charged car radio than to spend money on an additional receiver of dubious quality. .
Media type
There are radio tape recorders by the type of sound carrier:
- CD-players.
- MP3 players.
- DVD-players.
- USB players.
- Cassette recorders.
The latter is unlikely to be found in modern cars. Car radios with USB output are considered the most convenient option. They make it possible to better play various formats of music in any volume from a flash drive or memory card. You can also connect a removable hard drive, player or phone.
Connection system
The connection system plays an important role when choosing a car radio. Before choosing a car radio, you need to decide on the type of connection. The usually used connector is ISO. This connector is on one side of the wire, and on the other, the output for connecting to the speakers.
If the machine does not provide an outlet for such a connector, then you can additionally purchase an ISO connector and connect the wires. There are models that are connected by soldering. This is not very convenient if you plan to change the system in the future. 
output power
How to choose a radio tape recorder to be of high quality and reliable? Pay attention to the power output. It happens:
- Nominal. Allows you to listen to music for a long time.
- Maximum. It is only important when you turn on louder music.
It is worth noting that the higher the power of the radio, the better and better the sound will be.
To be sure of the correct choice, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the data sheet. The power rating is usually indicated in a lower equivalent.
Equalizer
Equalizer is used to adjust the quality sound. Usually a three-band equalizer is installed in the car, it allows you to independently adjust any frequencies. Expensive car radios are equipped with a seven-band equalizer, but in such a system it is rather difficult to understand, so the middle options will be better.
Car radio panel
Car radio panels are distinguished by their design and ease of use. In this case, you need to consider a few simple tips:
Tuner
Some drivers prefer to follow the news during the trip, so the tuner function in the car is important for them. The popularity of radio is constantly growing, as you can listen to different songs, interrupted by five-minute news.
All radios are capable of receiving the standard VHF band. The additional functionality will significantly improve the sound quality, but it will also cost a little more. You can switch the sound from stereo to mono to improve the signal quality when there is strong interference.
So, you have decided to buy a car radio for your car. Where should you start? We have analyzed the main characteristics, now let's move on to general tips and tricks that will be useful to car owners:
- If you need standard four speakers, then you need to choose a device for them.
- When choosing a powerful audio system, which includes speakers, a subwoofer, additional speakers, rely on sound quality. The radio tape recorder should be focused on these data.
- Determine for yourself a clear amount that you are willing to spend on a purchase.
- If you do not drive a car so often, then the standard acoustics will do. It is better to spend extra funds on other auto accessories.
Popular manufacturers
New models of car radios with additional functions and capabilities are released annually. The following manufacturers are considered leaders:
Radios from these manufacturers are perfect for your car. Then you will definitely not have to regret the quality of the purchased device. If you need an inexpensive budget radio tape recorder, then we recommend paying attention to Prology, Hyundai, LG or Mystery. These brands will decorate your car with dignity. 
JVC devices are the simplest and most intuitive to operate, their cost varies from 3 to 7 thousand rubles. A good radio tape recorder from a Japanese manufacturer supports new formats, innovative in terms of signal processing.
Pioneer is renowned for its high sound quality at a relatively low cost. These radios are the best among the competition. They have various built-in features, including an equalizer.
Alpine car radios are suitable for all tastes and wallets. If you prefer an expensive and functional model, then it is better to choose this manufacturer. She mostly suits the words "excellent" and "perfect in all things."
Let's summarize
Choosing the right radio for your car is not an easy task, due to the abundance of different models. We hope that our advice will definitely help you make the right choice and buy a radio with high-quality sound, functional and reliable. It will certainly serve you for a long time.
