While newer cars tend to have fancy infotainment systems, older cars are left suffering with old tech. We take a look at some of the best car stereo and head units on the market in 2024 to help you upgrade your old system.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

These days, cars come with better audio systems than ever. The absolute newest head units can actually be tricky to modify as they are so deeply embedded into their vehicle\u2019s electronics, though of course you can still upgrade the hardware like speakers and so on. Fortunately, modern-day OEM stereo systems are pretty hard to improve upon with an aftermarket head unit – in fact, the aftermarket head unit scene is mostly about bringing older cars up to the standards of new ones. If you opt for an aftermarket stereo, all of a sudden your mid-2000s project car could gain features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.<\/p>\n

Typically, when we talk about ‘older cars’, we’re referencing ones which use DIN-sized apertures. DIN is a measurement used to govern sizes of car radios and the standardization of the wiring plugs, but all you need to know is what size yours is. If it looks like a letterbox opening, it\u2019s single-DIN. If it looks like a chunky squarish shape, it\u2019s double-DIN.<\/p>\n

This guide will focus on options for these slightly older vehicles, featuring aftermarket options that fit old-school dash layouts while offering all the latest tech. So, without further ado, here are the best car stereos and head units of 2024.<\/p>\n
