1-DIN Radios

A DIN radio is a car stereo in the standardized mounting format according to DIN 75490. The standard dimensions are 180 x 50 mm, allowing the radio to fit into nearly any vehicle mounting slot. This format enables easy interchangeability between different manufacturers and models.

1-DIN radios have a height of 50 mm, while 2-DIN units are twice as tall at 100 mm. 1-DIN car stereos are ideal for compact mounting slots yet still offer modern features like touchscreen displays up to 9 inches. 2-DIN models allow for larger, permanently installed screens right in the dash fascia.

Yes, modern 1-DIN car stereos like the ESX VMX900DAB offer motorized or fold-out touchscreen displays up to 9 inches. These units combine the compact mounting format with a large screen for navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. For vehicles with factory mounting slots, there are also special Plug&Play car stereos from ESX that fit perfectly into your vehicle.
