About this deal
The reverse cam does this as soon as you put the car in reverse, you do not need to wait for full boot up of the head unit. The Kenwood DDX8019DABS features Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay, giving easy hands-free access to all your smartphone's best features. When I hire cars with CarPlay, the resistive screens that are generally available look pretty ordinary in comparison to this unit, yet they are still functional. I've got a DNX525DAB on a 2013 van with MFSW and it's the same - that button doesn't do anything useful on mine either!
The Kenwood can be set up for wireless CarPlay with up to five iPhones, which is just enough for our household, plus you can always still connect over USB, as it has two USB ports for ordinary CarPlay, USB storage devices etc, and an HDMI. In terms of design and build quality, the Kenwood DMX8019DABS is not only stylish but also durable, ensuring long-lasting performance. Can play 192kHz / 24bit audio files, also up-converts all AV sources including radio to 92kHz / 32bit and reproduces high-resolution sound.It's an easy way of getting modern infotainment into an old car and no, there aren't really any catches. The 3 camera inputs can be connected to a front camera, a KENWOOD dash cam (DRV-N520 sold separately) and a rear view camera. The screen is a capacitive, TFT active matrix screen of resolution 1,152,000 pixels 800H x 480V x RGB. The Android Auto user interface is designed for a particularly simple and intuitive operation, alternatively to control via the generously sized touch buttons, many of the applications provided by Android Auto can also be operated comfortably and without taking your hands off the steering wheel by voice control. dB, this car radio delivers excellent sound quality, minimizing background noise for a more immersive audio experience.
I would have thought some sort of pop up list of already setup iPhones when you long press the CarPlay button would be a good alternative. Mechless means it does not have a DVD player (or cassettes for those older people), it’s just radio (including digital) and USB, Bluetooth or wi-fi connections to USB storage devices and phones. We'd go as far as saying Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are must-have features on a new car, but now numerous big-name aftermarket audio firms provide compatible devices of some description. Navigation is available via CarPlay = Apple Maps, Android Auto = Google Maps or via Bluetooth using navigation apps like Waze.If you're on the road and life is hectic, you can use Android Auto to be super productive -- or just to help you relax. Sound quality enthusiasts will love the playback support of various types of music formats, including compatibility with FLAC files. KENWOOD’s multimedia receivers combine an intuitive voice controlled interface with a large touch screen and superior sound quality, making it the perfect complement for your in-car life. High-Resolution Audio is high-quality sound that far exceeds CD standards, and can play 192kHz / 24bit sampling DSP. The latest Kenwood Navitainers are capable of playing Hi-Res audio files with a resolution of up to 192kHz/24bit.
A simple USB connection gives you immediate access to apps like Google Maps, Waze, music, and voice control. The digital radio works as advertised, as do the other radio features and the set up is easy, including for cameras, of which it can take up to three.
Just ask Siri or Google Assistant which apps you want to use, and let your Kenwood head unit do the rest. It features a slick touchscreen display providing access to a wide range of features – including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as DAB radio and even a reversing camera or dashcam (when fitted). In addition, the digital sound processor allows a runtime correction for the correct music playback and can be individually adjusted for each channel.
