Kenwood eXcelon DMX709S 6.8" Receiver with Wired Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HD Radio & 5V Preouts

The Kenwood eXcelon DMX709S is a 6.8" capacitive touchscreen multimedia receiver designed to modernize the factory dash with smartphone-driven control, HD Radio reception, and flexible system integration. Built within Kenwood’s eXcelon series, it focuses on clean signal output, stable connectivity, and compatibility with advanced vehicle interfaces.

This double-DIN receiver provides wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, built-in HD Radio, and system-tuning tools typically expected in higher-end installations. The short chassis design also makes installation easier in vehicles where dash depth is limited.
