Kenwood Excelon DMX709S - Digital multimedia receiver (does not play discs)

Revive your drive

If you're looking for more entertainment and assistance during your commute, Kenwood's Excelon DMX709S multimedia receiver may make you want to hit the road more often. Upgrade your smartphone control with your choice of Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay® and enjoy it on a customizable 6.75" capacitive touchscreen display. You'll also have lots of music choices, thanks to high-res audio playback and cool music service options. Want to stay wireless? Bluetooth® makes it happen for hands-free calling and music streaming. Plus, Kenwood backs up their Excelon Series receivers with a 2-year warranty, and an incredibly shallow chassis makes installation less of a challenge for certain dashes.

The best smartphone integration

Plug in your Android™ or iPhone®, and Kenwood puts Apple CarPlay and Android Auto at your fingertips. You'll get voice control access to your navigation, phone calls, weather, text messages, and all your music. Best of all, the stereo's touchscreen controls behave like your phone's interface, so there's no learning curve. 

Bluetooth for everyone in the car

The DMX709S lets you pair two Bluetooth-equipped phones and quickly switch between them for hands-free calling — an excellent road trip convenience. And when you're streaming music, Kenwood's Music Mix lets you pair five phones so everybody can pick their tunes for an on-the-fly listening session.
