Who made the first head unit ever?

When were ISO connector's standard on car harness's? I haven't seen one on a car but then I've only worked on cars from 96 or older. Falcon5nz ( talk) 09:54, 10 October 2009 (UTC) reply

In the USA, the only vehicles that use ISO connectors are heavy-duty trucks (ie, Peterbilts/Freightliners) and European vehicles. Most all aftermarket headunits in the USA (other than those sold for the heavy-duty truck market) do not use ISO connectors; the notable exception is Blaupunkt. 76.21.162.92 ( talk) 02:17, 3 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Head units was a description for the face piece of a receiver that had 2 parts. The head unit was the facia on the dash and the rest of the unit was the receiver placed elsewhere in the vehicle. It is commonly used with 2-way radios. Why they changed the name from stereo to head unit is beyond me. There was no valid excuse for changing the name. A head unit is the head of another component. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.187.241.16 ( talk) 04:29, 8 February 2013 (UTC) reply

Non-automotive head units

I've restructured the article to emphasise what information relates to automotive audio head units, and tagged it for expansion on non-automotive information. I've also seen use of the term 'head' to describe the analogous part of a digital tachograph unit, so I don't know if there is room for further expansion outside of audio units. — Sasuke Sarutobi ( talk) 12:15, 28 April 2015 (UTC) reply

Except the very first sentence (introduction) the whole article is about (automotive) head units. For disambiguation purposes, I am going to move the article to the name automotive head unit.-- BSI ( talk) 13:16, 24 May 2018 (UTC) reply

Sources for the definition?

I sort of need a "proof" on the definition so I could show it somewhere else for the sake of an argue. Can somebody help me with that, please? 81.89.66.133 ( talk) 09:55, 30 March 2023 (UTC) reply
