Does anyone know what the size of the aftermarket radios installed in the reveal cars? It’s much bigger than 2DIN, but I can’t find any info on larger standards.

Reveal car:

2DIN in Japanese car:

couldn't it just be double din with just a large screen affixed to it?

much like how this double din's screen is way bigger than the case

Werent the options an 8" on the premium, 10" on the limited?

I honestly doubt it, it fits too flush IMO. But it’s possible.

Not sure, but these very much look like aftermarket units.

I'm confused, where does it fit too flush to be double din? plus that is all achieved by the separate bezel surrounding the screen.

Mine's not finished yet. I'm currently working on painting the front of the slide-out drawer that fits in the pocket underneath.

The second picture from the top looks like it may be an Alpine head unit. Can't tell about the first picture, but it's definitely larger than double-din.

The "Alpine" is definitely a double-din.

Sorry, wasn't referring to yours, just the one's right above it. You snuck in while I was typing.

If the second unit is indeed 2DIN (4"x7"), and my eyeball pixel measurements are correct, the width of the wide unit is ~235mm / ~9.3".

Sorry, I meant it looks too flush to be one of those big floating screen ones. They also usually have rounded corners to appear more tablet like.
