Features of the design of the front panel installed in the radio. One device can combine several features at once - for example, the removable panel may well be folding.
—
Removable panel. Possibility to remove the front panel of the car radio and take it with you when leaving the car. The meaning of this function is to protect against theft: firstly, the front panel is the most accessible and attractive part of the radio for thieves; secondly, this reduces the likelihood of the theft of the radio itself, because a device without a control panel is of rather little value.
—
Retractable screen. A retractable screen is usually the preserve of premium radios. When folded, such a screen is hidden in the mounting socket of the radio in a horizontal position, and when working, it moves out and becomes vertical. Thus, with the relatively small dimensions of the radio itself (see Mounting size), it can be equipped with a fairly large screen, allowing you to even watch videos comfortably.
—
Motorized. This feature means that the display of the radio is equipped with a motor drive, due to which you can change the angle of the screen. This function is especially important in light of the fact that in relatively inexpensive types of matrices the image is normally visible only from a certain angle. However, the ability to adjust the tilt of the screen may be usef
...ul in any case.
- Tesla Style. The front panel is made in the style of the on-board computer of Tesla cars. The main feature of this design is a huge touch screen by the standards of a car radio (about 12"), from which you can control not only the radio, but also various functions of the car itself - for example, climate control. Accordingly, such radios have extensive capabilities. They They are usually standard (see “Original radio for”), and are produced not only for Tesla, but also for other car brands.The maximum size of the memory card or USB stick (see "Media type") that the radio can work with normally.
High-capacity drives require fairly high processing power and may use special technologies that are not supported by all radios. This is the reason for the limitation on the volume of supported media.
