Discover how these floating head units can elevate your in-car entertainment, navigation, and communication—all while maintaining a sleek and futuristic appearance.

What is a Floating Head Unit?

A floating head unit is a multimedia receiver featuring a large, tablet-style touchscreen that “floats” above the dashboard, rather than being recessed into it. This design allows for a larger screen, often 10 inches or more, even in vehicles with limited dashboard space.

Unlike traditional car stereos, floating screens are not restricted by the physical size of the head unit mount. This provides users with a larger, clearer, and more interactive display, ideal for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, video playback, navigation, and other applications.
