Installation checks for the DMX809S

Verify your dashboard opening accepts a double-DIN chassis before ordering.

A stable Wi-Fi hotspot is needed to enable the built-in Amazon Alexa feature.

Suited for smartphone-centric drivers.

This unit suits drivers who rely on wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Spotify, Pandora and FLAC or WAV playback from a phone or USB stick. Buyers who need CD or DVD playback, satellite radio, or a detachable faceplate should look at a different model.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the DMX809S and do I need to buy any extra cables for installation?

The receiver ships as a double-DIN unit with its wiring harness and mounting hardware; a separate dash kit and antenna adapter for your vehicle are sold separately.

The spec sheet lists both 6.8 and 6.75 inch — which screen size should I use when planning the dash opening?

The active display measures 6.8 inches diagonally; the 6.75 inch figure is the chassis width reference, so use 6.8 inch for the cut-out template.

What does the 45 watt power rating mean for everyday listening volume?

That is the peak output per channel (4 × 45 W); continuous RMS power is lower, so expect clean cabin volume with efficient speakers but add an external amplifier for high-SPL needs.
