About the Kenwood DMX5023DABS
From our tech experts at CEN
The Kenwood DMX5023DABS is a double DIN media receiver with a 6.8-inch WSVGA capacitive touchscreen, built-in DAB+ digital radio, and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto via USB. It adds Bluetooth for hands-free calling and audio streaming, a 2.1A USB charging port, 2.5V front, rear and subwoofer pre-outs, and a 13-band EQ with digital time alignment.
Who it suits
This stereo suits drivers who want CarPlay, Android Auto and DAB+ in a double DIN fitment and are comfortable connecting their phone by USB cable. Those who prefer wireless smartphone connectivity should consider the Kenwood DMX8021DABS instead.
Our tech experts advise
The short chassis double DIN design fits most standard bays, but measure your dash depth before ordering. A DAB aerial is not included; you will need one with an SMB connector. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto require a USB cable — your existing phone cable will work. Professional installation is priced per vehicle; visit our Nottingham fitting page for details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this stereo fit my car?
A: Most vehicles need a fascia panel, wiring harness and sometimes a steering wheel control interface to fit a new stereo. Contact CEN with your make, model and year and we will confirm the exact installation kit needed, or browse our Connects 2 installation kits.
Q: Will I keep my steering wheel controls?
A: Yes, in almost all cases. A steering wheel control interface retains your existing buttons with the new stereo. Parts are sold separately.
Q: Does this stereo support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?
A: Check the Specification tab, which lists smartphone connectivity for each model including whether CarPlay and Android Auto are wired or wireless on that unit.
Q: What is the difference between single DIN and double DIN?
A: DIN refers to the chassis size. Single DIN units are the traditional slim format, while double DIN units are twice the height and typically carry a touchscreen. Your vehicle's dash aperture and fascia kit determine which fits.
Q: Can CEN supply and fit the stereo?
A: Yes. CEN offers professional supply and installation from our Nottingham premises, including fascia, wiring and steering control integration. Contact us for a fitted price.
Q: Does the Kenwood DMX5023DABS have wireless Apple CarPlay?
A: No. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the DMX5023DABS are wired, connecting via USB. It also supports wired USB mirroring for iPhone and Android, and Bluetooth for hands-free calls and audio streaming.
Q: What size is the screen on the DMX5023DABS?
A: It has a 6.8 inch WSVGA capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels and an anti-fingerprint film.
Q: Can I connect a reversing camera to the DMX5023DABS?
A: Yes. It has a dedicated RCA rear view camera input with parking guidelines, plus a reverse sensor wire so the camera view shows when you select reverse.
