i did a double din kenwood, i didnt want the vents blocks, deal with failing hinges with the pull out, i like the flush DD look, and uhm... yeah thats about it

 

[Aaron Yarbough]

Double DIN flush......my concern for the single DIN retractable is the possibility of the hinge mechanism becoming loose over time due to road vibrations, etc. Also, I don't like the fact that they often cover other controls, A/C vents or extend higher than the dash. It doesn't look like it belongs or is a custom fit .

 

[Jay Coombs]

agree I also have the kenwood didn't want to block the vents, plus looks more factory.

 

[Steve Kaufman]

I have the single din retractable, but I am most probably selling the unit, and getting the double din.



from a AVIC-N1 to a AVIC-Z1

 

[Aaron Yarbough]

Steve, you won't regret it.....i've got the Z1 in my ST and it's awesome! The biggest concern is security, which is it's biggest drawback in my opinion.

 

[Tim Turner]

Double DIN will look more factory and will not block the vents.

I like my double DIN. Looks more OEM then the single with retractable screen.



I also went and got a Explorer Radio Bezel with a rear defroster switch. Modified a 2nd fog light switch to use for something else (not determined what I want yet). Also I didnt want to modify the OEM bezel, because IF I sell the ST the radio will not go with it.

i have had both i like the single din because you can mount the screen up higher (to show it off and makes watching movies going down the road easy) but i also like the double din because it dont block the vents and looks factory

 

[Tony Tassillo]

i have install prolly 6 dozen in dash tv's in my day and i now have a single din retractable. i will soon be going to a double din. the motor fails from time to time and the gears can get jammed since they are exposed. since i hardly ever listen to CD's it wont matter cause the screen will hardly ever be opened.



Double Din IMO

 

[Caleb Hendry]

You gotta go 2 DIN. No AC blockage and sweet stock look.
