Comparison CraftAudio CA-6101 vs CraftAudio CA-6110

Car models for which this radio is standard.

For standard radios in general, see "Installation size" for more details. And here it’s worth saying that compatibility can be limited not only by a specific car model, but also by the year of manufacture — for example, “2015+” (that is, not earlier than 2015), “2012 — 2016”, etc. On the other hand, there are and softer restrictions — for example, the ability to install in several different models of the same manufacturer. Occasionally there is even the compatibility of one radio with cars of different brands — however, in this case we are usually talking about the availability of licensed copies of a certain car and, accordingly, the possibility of standard installation also in such copies.

Modern car radios can be produced, in particular, for cars of the following brands (in alphabetical order): Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Citroen, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, KIA, Land Rover, Lexus, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi..., Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Subaru, Suzuki, SsangYong, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo.

The ability to choose the backlight colour for the control panel, and sometimes also for the radio display. The specific range of shades available can vary, whether it be a few colours or the entire RGB palette; see "Illumination colour" for details. Anyway, this feature does not play a functional role, however, it allows you to customize the appearance of the device so that it is in harmony with the appearance of the dashboard and matches the user's mood.

The colour of the backlight plays primarily an aesthetic role, allowing you to choose a radio for the design of the dashboard and user preferences. In addition, some colours have a practical meaning. So, the red backlight is extremely popular nowadays also because it is almost perfect for the dark time of the day: this shade does not knock down "night vision" and has a stimulating effect on the nervous system. And green, on the contrary, relieves excessive nervousness and promotes peace of mind. Other popular colours in modern times include white, blue, orange, yellow, purple ; they do not have such pronounced effects, here the main selection criterion is “like or dislike”.

Also note that in many models several backlight colours are indicated at once. This means that the device has a backlight with adjustable colour selection. At the same time, there are models with a choice of a full range of RGB colours.
