Your vehicle's head unit is the display, sometimes LED, sometimes crystal LCD, sometimes basic switch interface, that allows you to control elements of your Car Audio & In-Car Tech. It usually sits in the centre of your vehicle's dash, near your vehicle's air-conditioning and hazard lights control buttons. Newer head units give you more control than just over your car stereo; things like Apple Carplay & Android Auto allows for seamless mobile phone integration, offering things like access to messages, navigation and more from your phone to be readily visible on the touchscreen display.
Should You Buy Basic Head Units or Apple Carplay, Android Auto
It really depends on your vehicle and how much control you want to have while driving. A basic head unit will give you control over a number of preset radio stations, some basic Bluetooth connectivity options, in some cases a CD changer (though these are getting rarer as the years pass), and an AUX input or USB input to connect your phone or music that way.
The big difference with head units like Apple Carplay & Android Auto is the level of seamless control you have over your car stereo (single din or double din), navigation and communication systems. If you're like most people (in the fact that you own a smartphone), these head units are made to match them in terms of tech. With touchscreen controls and apps that run in a car-safe mode, you'll never have to touch your phone again while driving.
