Nowadays, more and more cars are equipped with large touchscreen head unit. Not only the screen looks exquisite, but it provides lots of outstanding functions. All we have to acknowledge that these touchscreens do greatly improve our driving styles.

The comparison between the car touch screen radio system and the traditional button-operated radio is just like the difference between a Nokia and an iPhone. The button-operated radio needs a lot of space to arrange the buttons. And most of the buttons are in irregular order, causing some time to find what we need. However, when there is large screen unit, we not only can see all information clearly, but we can use it fast and conveniently with some clicks. This user-friendly design simplifies operations.

“Hey Siri, turn on the music.” Now Siri is no longer just for Apple Phones, you can talk to Siri on the touchscreen radio. This artificial communication is another outstanding features brought by the touchscreen radio. Lots of operations such as turning on the audio, turning on the air conditioner, adjusting the windows and other commands can be completed through voice, which greatly reduces the the danger of our driving. Although some advanced instructions can not be completed, but with the passage of time, this technology will be conquered sooner or later.

Integrated with Smartphone Application

One of the powerful function of the touchscreen radio is that it gives you the ability to use your phone apps on the radio screen. By connecting the phone to the radio via Android Auto, Carplay, Carlife and Mirrorlink, you can easily use phone apps like music, map, call on the radio screen. In this way, you can keep a safer drive.

Apart from above advantages, the touchscreen Android radio system also provides many other functions, making your drive fun and safe. For example, when you are tired on a long drive, you can listen to online music and FM/AM radio to keep fresh. When you need to go to a unfamiliar destination, you can apply the GPS navigation system to plan the best route. What’s more, the touchscreen radio is compatible with various rear view cameras.
