Make your phone your copilot

Want the latest music and connectivity options in your ride? Kenwood's DMX7709S multimedia receiver delivers smartphone integration, cool radio options, and ways to connect more gear, so your drive will be safer and more fun. This receiver's 6.75” touchscreen display lets you control your media, including Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto®, screen mirroring for select smartphones, Bluetooth®, and high-res music playback. You can also add amplifiers, up to three cameras, and a SiriusXM tuner to complete your vehicle's infotainment system.

Smart smartphone integration

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto put your phone's content at your fingertips. This stereo's controls behave like your phone's interface, so there's no learning curve. Plug in your Android™ or iPhone®, and you'll get voice control access to your navigation, phone calls, weather, text messages, and of course all your music. Get more info at www.apple.com/ios/carplay and www.android.com/auto.

This Kenwood's micro HDMI input also lets you mirror the display on your iPhone or Android by using a compatible HDMI adapter (sold separately) and a compatible micro HDMI-to-HDMI cable, such as the Kenwood KCA-HD200. Android owners, you can also mirror your phone's screen on the Kenwood display by plugging into the rear USB port and using Kenwood's free "Mirroring OA for Kenwood" app.

A touchscreen display with total control

This receiver's 6.75" capacitive display shows all your info in crisp detail and lets you customize the home screen for when Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are not active, putting your favorite sources front and center. The controls on the left part of the display also offer variable color illumination, letting you customize the look in your dash. An electronic angle adjustment makes the display visible even in challenging dash locations.

This Kenwood also sports a 13-band equalizer that allows you to set up separate tone curves for different audio sources. Combine that with the built-in digital time alignment processor, and you can put yourself right in the engineer's seat. Five ultra-clean preamp outputs give you flexibility in adding amplifiers to your system when you're ready to pump up the sound.
