Today one guy asked me what DIN means and embarrassingly, I made a shoe of myself shooting off my mouth with “Double Income, NO Kid” and laughed at his ignorance. But he refuted that I made a mistake in taking DIN as DINK and judged I have no car at hand. Then I search the internet and understand DIN is a standard installation space of which vehicle center console reserved for car electrical appliances such as Car DVD Players, Car monitors and so on.
Well, more specifically, DIN is the criterion of the inside size which for the car audio console and corresponding installation space. Because of the very limited space inside the car, the car stereo are not the same as appliance stereo system which manufacturer can design the figuration size arbitrarily. And cars are manufactured by manufacturing factory, car stereo is manufactured by electronic equipment manufacturers, in the absence of a uniform standard, it will caused a embarrassing situation that car stereo can not be put into the cars. A standard car stereo console products, 178mm in width can not be changed, and the height can be 50mm or 100mm. Usually, 50mm in the 1 DIN, 100mm is the 2 DIN. If you need to replace the host when you converted the car stereo, you should base on the size of the installation space to select the host . Obviously 1 DIN space is not suitable for 2 DIN Car DVD Players, and 2 DIN space can be installed in one 2 DIN Car DVD Players or two 1 DIN Car DVD Players. If only install with a 1 DIN machine on the 2 DIN space, then the remaining space can be covered used by the panel which along with the car.
Well, after cracking the complicated DIN, I suddenly recall that my friend bought a discount Car DVD Players with 18$ off sold by established Topons on the Online Marketplace http://www.topons.com/electronics/car-electronics.html are sized according to an international DIN standard and by the way more discount is available for Car Electronics Wholesale. He ever told me 1 DIN means a standard space whose width and height are fixed but depth is limitless, 2 DIN is twice space as 1 DIN, this space is generally used for installing Sound Equipment Console, Tuner or LCD monitor. An indash Auto DVD Player include an indash screen may allow the screen double as a virtual instrument panel or GPS Navigational tool, which is useful especially for drivers since watching a movie while managing a vehicle is generally not a fantastic idea. Indash screens are convenient for front seat passengers and drivers in long trips as they can enjoy entertainment, weather updates and driving directions while not on the road.
Anyway, my bad memory has plunged me in predicament, but I will learn from this lesson and care more about other’s words. What’s more, with increasingly growing people jumping on the bandwagon for entertainment and leisure in their cars, I of course will buy some as long as I own a car. And I bet I will know more about cars or other electronics with ease and won’t make a fool of myself when I have a car.
