Questions and Answers

  • Why should I get a new car stereo?

    Sound and features are the two best reasons for getting a new car stereo. Aftermarket car stereos typically have more powerful amplifiers and better sound-shaping controls than factory stereos. And you'll find plenty of cool features, like Bluetooth® and smartphone compatibility, USB and aux inputs, touchscreen controls, navigation, satellite radio compatibility, and much more, depending on the type and model of car stereo you buy.

  • Will a new car stereo work with my smartphone?

    One of the most exciting things about new car stereos is the way that they integrate with your smartphone. Almost all models offer USB connection to your phone, letting you access your music files or other stored media from both iOS and Android devices. And if your new stereo has Bluetooth, you'll be able to access your music or streaming services that way too. One of the coolest recent developments has been in the number of receivers that support the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interfaces, allowing truly integrated touchscreen operation of many smartphone features.

  • If the Car Stereo is not powering on?

    If your car stereo is not powering on, the first thing you should do is to check its power cable connection. Ensure the power cable is connected firmly in place. If it won’t power on when the power cable is fixed properly, then you’ll need to test whether the power cable is transmitting current. You can use a multimeter to check whether it’s transmitting current. If it’s not, then it’s probably damaged and needs to be replaced with a new cable. In case the power cable is transmitting current and the stereo is not powering on, then check whether its fuse is blown. Check the fuse with a multimeter to see whether or not it’s working. If it is working and the radio won’t power on, then you’ll need to have the stereo checked and repaired.

  • Is it possible to connect the smartphone with a new car stereo?

    Yes, it is possible to connect your phone with the radio. We have the best car stereos for sale online with us. All the models we offer have a USB connection, which lets you stream through your phone's music to your car stereo.

  • What does 1 DIN and 2 DIN mean in-car radio means ?

    A car radio comes in different sizes and settings. DIN means the car stereos size. There can be a single din as well as a double din. Single din car stereo is generally two inches tall, and Double din is four inches tall.

  • What is the different set of parts inside the car?

    There are various types of car parts. Some of the basic and most popular ones include a steering wheel, speedometer, seat belt, gear shift, windshield, headlights and engine to run the car. Various types of car stereo: Android Stereo, Compatible with Toyota size Stereo, VW stereo, 2 Din Car GPS Stereo , 1 Din Car GPS Stereo, VW parts, VW Golf 5 MK5 GTI parts, Golf side mirror glass, VW side mirror, BMW parts, BMW side mirror glass, CarPlay Stereo. PDR Paintless dent repair tools can be used for dent repair work on your car.

  • What is the total number of parts which a car has?

    A normal car can have up to 30,000 total car parts. These parts also have many screws attached to them, making them look large or small in size.

  • What are all the requirements to service a car?

    The servicing of the car is a real factor. A complete and effective service will involve checking all the car systems, change in the engine, and new oil will be added. All the lights will be checked, breaks, cuts and tires will be activated to drive the car in the right motion.

  • If the car radio won't turn on?

    If your car radio doesn’t turn on, the first thing you should check is whether the power cable is properly connected or whether it’s passing current. You can use a multimeter to check whether the power cable is supplying power. In case it’s not, then the power cable is faulty and needs replacement. If its passing current but the radio won’t turn on, then maybe there’s a blown fuse in the radio. Test the fuse with a multimeter. If it’s blown, replace it. If it’s passing current, then your problem might be with the radio and it’ll need repair.

    In case the radio is turning on and off, maybe it’s not getting enough current to operate it. If it’s turning off and after bumping off something such as a road bump, then the problem is a loose power connection. Simply fix the cable firmly onto the radio and power source.
