So what is a touchscreen receiver, and how could it benefit your car audio system?

Touchscreen receivers

Touchscreen receivers refer to car speaker head units that put functionality first and foremost. These speakers are integrated with a control centre which allows for easy to use touchscreen access, and often combine a range of modern capabilities to improve safety and hands-free use. Whilst different brands such as Pioneer and Kenwood vary in design, at their core they all have the same features, allowing for easy and multifunctional use in your car.

Easy to use

As technology has advanced, touchscreen receivers have become increasingly easy to use. Whether it be Bluetooth integration at the touch of the screen, or surround sound audio, the speaker system makes it easier than ever to watch, listen and play with your favourite content without the fiddly controls of older button-based receivers.

They take up less space

Due to their lack of buttons and controls built-in, the receiver usually consists of just a screen. Whilst computer systems have taken a long time to get to this level, the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Our demands from sound system entertainment have grown rapidly due to the widespread use of smartphones and tablets and they’re packing of so much into a simple screen.

Bluetooth integrated

Touchscreen receivers make Bluetooth integration into your car sub and amp package easier than ever. With hands-free phone use, you will have a safer driving experience without scrimping on the endless possibilities of smartphone technology.

GPS optimised

Whether it be through linking to your phone or it's built into the receiver system, GPS technology is another example of touchscreen receivers making life even easier for drivers. With no fiddly buttons and a route map that’s easy to follow, touchscreen GPS is a godsend for the driving disorientated.

Dual-zone listening

When installed in both the front and the back of the car, touch screen receivers allow users to enjoy different entertainment throughout the vehicle. Whether it be a DVD playing on the backseat head unit and our high-quality car stereo installation in the front, dual-zone listening keeps everyone happy.

Hands-Free

Most importantly, touchscreen and its Bluetooth integration optimise and make easy the use of hands-free control. Whether it be through linking up your voice-activated smartphone for hands-free calling, or through seamless scrolling through your media, your eyes never need be off the road during touch screen receiver use.
