Apple CarPlay: connect wirelessly or via USB

Apple CarPlay gives iPhone users an intuitive way to make calls, use Maps and listen to music by voice or touch. The DMX6523DABS supports both wired and wireless connection. If you want wireless CarPlay without a physical connection at all, the Kenwood DMX8021DABS offers a fully wireless setup.

Android Auto: connect wirelessly or via USB

Android Auto is designed with safety in mind. Larger touch targets, a split-screen interface and voice actions minimise distraction so you can stay focused on the road. Both wired and wireless connections are supported.

Built-in DAB+ digital radio tuner

DAB+ delivers clear, interference-free sound and easier tuning compared to analogue AM/FM. Simply select a station from the alphabetical list — no scanning required.

Easy installation with a compact rear chassis

Despite its double-DIN display, the L-shaped chassis is only half the depth of a conventional double-DIN unit. The reduced depth and L-shape lower the overall weight and make fitting straightforward even where dash space is tight.

High-resolution WSVGA (1024 x 600) LCD display

The WSVGA panel delivers approximately 1.6 times the resolution of a conventional WVGA display, producing finer colour gradients and sharper detail when viewing maps, album art or video content.

Rear view camera input with parking guidelines

An optional rear view camera can be connected to help monitor the area behind the vehicle when reversing. Built-in adjustable parking guidelines are displayed on screen to assist with manoeuvring.
