Some considerations when choosing a touchscreen radio include:
- Do I prefer a screen that fits tightly into the dashboard, or would I like a larger, “floating” screen that sits above it?
- Am I interested in integrating my smartphone with the radio for messaging, audio streaming, navigation, and other applications?
- Will I need to connect my phone with a cable for smartphone integration?
- Do I want a high-definition screen (720p or higher), or is a standard resolution sufficient for my needs?
- Do I have (or require) any cameras that I want to view through the display?
- Will the radio enable me to retain my steering wheel controls and other factory settings with an optional adapter?
- Do I enjoy adjusting audio settings, or do I primarily listen to sources like high-resolution music files?
- Would I like built-in GPS navigation so I don’t have to depend on my phone for directions?
- Does the touchscreen radio include a physical knob as well?
