Choosing car audio for your 4x4
The head unit is the heart of the system, so choose it first. Measure what your dash accepts, then decide between a standard double DIN screen and a larger floating display that sits proud of the dash. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are the features most people use every day, putting maps, music and calls on the screen without touching your phone.
From there, build around how you travel. A subwoofer restores the low end that factory speakers lose on coarse roads, and a rear view camera makes hitching a trailer and reversing a loaded wagon far less stressful. If you tour with a canopy or camper that blocks the back window, a camera stops being a luxury and becomes essential.
