Kenwood DAX8000S is an 8-inch high-definition flush-mount digital multimedia receiver engineered for OEM-style dash integration without the bulk or visual compromise of floating displays.

Performance

The DAX8000S is designed for drivers who want a large, sharp display that looks like it belongs in the dash—not attached to it. The 8-inch HD panel offers excellent brightness, wide viewing angles, and responsive touch control, while the flush-mount design preserves clean dashboard lines and factory ergonomics.

From an audio standpoint, the DAX8000S provides a strong front end for amplified systems. With 5V preamp outputs, digital optical output, and onboard tuning tools, it integrates cleanly with aftermarket amplifiers and DSP processors. Wireless smartphone connectivity, multi-camera support, and fast system response make it a modern solution for daily driving and long-term ownership.
