Power Acoustik Single DIN Head Units: Smart Design for Compact Dashboards

Power Acoustik single-DIN head units offer a perfect blend of modern technology and compact design. These units are designed for vehicles with limited dashboard space, but they don't compromise on advanced features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and touchscreen interfaces.

The majority of older and mid-tier vehicles on the road today still rely on factory-installed head units that lack essential connectivity features. This often includes limited control over mobile devices, no touchscreen interface, and no support for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Power Acoustik’s Single DIN lineup fills that gap by offering drivers a seamless way to upgrade. Units like the CP-71W single DIN touchscreen stereo come equipped with full-color displays, Bluetooth hands-free calling, high-fidelity audio outputs, USB input support, and intuitive smartphone integration.

Single DIN vs. Double DIN: What’s the Difference?

Single-DIN head units measure about 2 inches (50mm) in height, making them a standard fit for many vehicles manufactured before 2008. In contrast, double DIN units measure roughly 4 inches (100 mm) in height, often requiring custom dash kits and adjustments during installation.

For vehicles with a 1-DIN slot or limited vertical space, a single-DIN head unit is often the only viable aftermarket upgrade. Power Acoustik bridges the functionality gap by offering 1-DIN radios with touchscreen panels that mimic the interface and feature set of many double-DIN alternatives.

What You Can Expect From Power Acoustik Single DIN Models

Every model in this category is built to offer high-end infotainment in a compact footprint. Whether you’re installing in a work vehicle, vintage car, or just looking for an upgrade that doesn’t require a dash overhaul, these units offer consistent performance across all essential categories.

Seamless Smartphone Integration

These head units support both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving drivers access to real-time GPS navigation, music streaming, voice control, and messaging apps directly through the head unit’s touchscreen.

Responsive Capacitive Touchscreens

The CP-71W and similar models feature a 6.5-inch color display, providing intuitive access to features without the lag often found in entry-level systems. The interface is optimized for visibility and touch responsiveness, ensuring safety and ease while driving.

Built-In Bluetooth Functionality

With built-in Bluetooth 5.0 or higher, users can enjoy hands-free calling and wireless music streaming. The system pairs quickly with most modern smartphones and supports dual device connectivity in certain models.

USB, AUX, and MicroSD Compatibility

Power Acoustik’s Single DIN stereos go beyond wireless. They provide USB inputs for music playback and charging, auxiliary input for older devices, and MicroSD card support on selected models.

Backup Camera Support and Video Playback

Some head units in this category include a dedicated video input channel, which allows for seamless integration with backup cameras. This is a significant safety feature for drivers who want to modernize their older vehicles.

Ideal Use Cases and Vehicle Compatibility

Power Acoustik Single DIN head units are commonly installed in:

  • Compact cars with limited dash real estate
  • Classic cars that require 1-DIN dimensions
  • Commercial vehicles like delivery vans or fleet trucks
  • Off-road or utility vehicles, where space is at a premium

Thanks to their standardized fit and plug-and-play wiring harnesses (when paired with the appropriate dash kits), most installations can be completed without any custom modifications.

What Makes Power Acoustik a Trusted Brand?

Power Acoustik has been a recognized name in the automotive audio industry for over three decades. Known for offering high-end technology at accessible price points, the brand’s commitment to quality is evident in its integration of premium features in budget-friendly categories.

Unlike many brands that force consumers to choose between form and function, Power Acoustik offers a clear path to modern audio without the complexity of a full-system overhaul. Their single-DIN radios, in particular, have become popular among drivers looking to retrofit their vehicles without sacrificing smartphone features.

Model Highlights: The CP-71W Single DIN Touchscreen

One of the most sought-after units in this category, the CP-71W offers an excellent example of what this series can do. It includes:

  • A 6.5-inch capacitive touchscreen
  • Compatibility with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
  • Bluetooth hands-free calling and streaming
  • USB input and phone charging capability
  • Rear-view camera input
  • Intuitive menu structure and customizable interface

Final Thoughts

Power Acoustik’s Single DIN head units stand out for one reason: they deliver full-scale infotainment functionality in a space-efficient format. For drivers of older vehicles, those on a budget, or anyone simply needing an upgrade that fits a single-DIN slot, these units check every box. With Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, responsive touchscreens, and reliable connectivity options, there’s no reason to settle for a stock radio anymore.

This category offers a smart, affordable way to bring your dashboard into the modern age — without losing space, time, or money in the process.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs


Do these units support both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay?

Yes. Most models in the Single DIN series, such as the CP-71W, are compatible with both platforms. This allows users to access navigation apps, messages, music, and voice controls directly from the touchscreen.

Can I install it myself?

In many cases, yes. As long as your vehicle has a Single DIN slot and you have the right mounting kit and wiring harness, installation can be done without professional tools. However, we recommend a professional install for best results, especially if integrating with a backup camera or steering wheel controls.

Will it fit my vehicle?

If your car uses a Single DIN mount (2 inches tall), this head unit will fit. Vehicles manufactured before 2008 commonly use this format.

Are firmware updates supported?

Many Power Acoustik units support firmware updates via USB. This allows users to access new features and system improvements over time.

Can I use a rear-view camera with these head units?

Yes. Several models support video input from backup cameras, and the system automatically switches to camera view when the reverse gear is engaged.
