XTRONS Double Din 2+64GB Android car stereo with Bluetooth, EQ DSP and optional DAB+
Product description
The essentials
If you want a modern double-din head unit without jumping straight to the most expensive end of the market, this XTRONS Android car stereo makes sense on paper. It pairs a 2+64GB setup for media and apps with wireless (or wired) CarPlay/Android Auto and screen mirroring, plus an EQ/DSP approach for tuning your sound.
It’s the kind of upgrade that can make everyday drives feel less “stuck with the factory radio” and more like you’re using a proper entertainment hub. That said, it’s not a one-size-fits-all box: the description specifically notes that you can only use one of CarPlay, Android Auto, or screen mirroring at a time, so it’s worth matching that to how you actually drive and use your phone.
Key features that matter in daily use
The headline is compatibility with popular phone projection workflows. You can access CarPlay/Android Auto wirelessly or via cable, and screen mirroring is also supported. In real-world terms, that usually means you can jump from music to maps and back again without faffing about with menus—handy when you’re moving between parking, road trips, and commuting.
For audio, the built-in EQ system and DSP-style customisation are there to help you shape what you hear. The unit is described with a 4x45W amplifier (stated as 4x45W TCB001HQ), which should be enough for a typical car audio setup, but it’s also fair to say that if you’re chasing serious hi-fi ambitions with upgraded speakers and dedicated amps, this sits more in the “complete infotainment upgrade” lane than the “end-game audio” lane.
What stands out (and where it may feel limiting)
A few things stand out clearly from the provided details:
- 64GB of storage is included, which is a meaningful buffer if you keep more content or want the system to feel responsive rather than constantly juggling space.
- The octa-core processor is positioned as a performance driver, aimed at quicker handling of in-car entertainment.
- UI themes and a quick display window are mentioned, letting you switch styles and choose what you see at a glance (for example car speed, navigation, or video playback).
The main limitation is operational rather than technical: you can only utilise one of the three functions (CarPlay, Android Auto, or screen mirroring) at a time. If you often alternate rapidly between projecting your phone and mirroring a screen for specific apps, you may find that approach fiddly compared with systems that allow more overlap—though plenty of modern setups still follow a similar “single active mode” logic.
Also, DAB+ is described as tuner-ready and optional, meaning you’ll likely need an adapter to use it. The listing names specific DAB adapter options (USBDAB01/USBDAB02/USBDAB04), but it’s still something to plan for before you buy.
Tech summary (the bits to check before you commit)
- Type: Double Din car stereo / Android radio player with Bluetooth
- Processor: Octa-core
- Memory/storage: 2+64GB
- Audio tuning: EQ system with DSP customisation
- Amplifier: 4x45W (TCB001HQ stated)
- Projection options: Wireless or cabled CarPlay/Android Auto, plus screen mirroring
- DAB+: DAB+ tuner ready (optional, requires a compatible adapter)
One more practical note: “quick display window” and UI themes are nice touches, but they won’t replace proper install quality. If your fascia/dash layout or wiring isn’t a straightforward match, you’ll want to factor in installation support.
Who it’s for, and who should look elsewhere
It suits you if you’re upgrading from a more basic factory stereo and you want:
- a double-din Android-style head unit for apps and media,
- CarPlay/Android Auto access (wireless preferred, but cable support is there too),
- on-screen variety (themes and a quick glance display),
- and a clearer path to DAB+ via an optional adapter.
It may not be the best choice if you regularly need multiple phone projection modes simultaneously (because the unit can only use one at a time) or if you’re already deep into a high-end audio build where “EQ/DSP + 4x45W” isn’t the main deciding factor.
Getting the most from it
A simple way to gauge whether it’ll feel right: think about your most common phone use. If your day-to-day is mostly driving with navigation and music, CarPlay/Android Auto wireless tends to be the sweet spot. Then, screen mirroring becomes your occasional “when I need it” tool rather than something you expect to swap in and out constantly.
For audio, spend a few minutes on the EQ/DSP settings once you’re installed. Even modest changes can noticeably shift clarity, especially at typical commuting volumes. This is one of those purchases where the software side helps, but it really depends on getting the install and speaker balance sorted.
Mini FAQ
Does it support wireless CarPlay and Android Auto?
Yes—wireless support is mentioned, alongside an option to use CarPlay/Android Auto via cable.
Can it use CarPlay, Android Auto, and screen mirroring at the same time?
No. The description states it can only utilise one of the three functions at a time.
Is DAB+ included?
DAB+ is described as tuner-ready and optional. The listing suggests using a DAB adapter (named options are USBDAB01/USBDAB02/USBDAB04) to get DAB+ content.
What’s the point of the EQ and DSP?
The EQ system and DSP customisation are intended to let you adjust sound more to your taste, with the amplifier supporting stable output at different volume levels.
Is it worth it?
Worth buying if you want a practical double-din Android-style upgrade with 2+64GB storage, octa-core performance, CarPlay/Android Auto (wireless or cabled), and EQ/DSP-style audio tuning, and you’re comfortable planning for optional DAB+ via an adapter. It’s the kind of setup that’s likely to satisfy most everyday drivers who care about usability more than it cares about being a pure audio flagship.
Skip it (or at least rethink) if your routine depends on switching between CarPlay, Android Auto, and screen mirroring constantly within the same session, or if you were expecting DAB+ to be plug-and-play without any extra adapter planning. And if your install environment isn’t straightforward, it may be worth budgeting for proper fitting support before you commit.
