The headunit IS the radio. The term headunit (as opposed to just "radio") never came into use until people started locating components of their "car stereo" scattered around the vehicle - sort-of like a Wurlizer theater organ. The headunit, then, became the "controller" for all those other bits (preamp, power amps, CD changer etc).
