RE: I know & feel your pain...

If you are OK with having the walkman sitting on the passenger seat to play tapes, there are a number of brands of single DIN head units that still have a front panel Aux. input. Pioneer units for sure. After many years I got fed up with it! Had to pull it out, plug the 12v power in & connect the Aux. Can't do it with a passenger there.

But if your next car only has a single DIN then replacing it with another single DIN isn't a big deal...I'm getting the impression more cars are coming with double DIN head units to facilitate the "rear camera" screen which might be required for mechanical certification in some jurisdictions? Personally, I've been driving for over 40 years without a rear camera, why would I need one now?

Anyhow, for an older camera-less car with a double DIN space installing the 2 single DIN units in there works great. Can't be happier. And like I said, the Kenwood Excelon 702 & 502 are the only "current production" head units with rear Aux inputs which allows this.
