Kenwood DMX809S 6.8" Multimedia Receiver

The Kenwood DMX809S is a double-DIN multimedia receiver with a 6.8" WVGA capacitive touchscreen. It delivers wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone integration. A built-in HD Radio tuner and SiriusXM readiness expand entertainment options. The package includes a CMOS-230LP1 universal backup camera for rear-view assistance.

Installation requirements to verify

Confirm your vehicle dashboard accepts a double-DIN chassis and that the short-chassis depth fits behind the panel. Check steering-wheel control compatibility and whether an adapter harness is needed for the factory wiring. Ensure the CMOS-230LP1 camera can be mounted at the rear and routed to the three available camera inputs. Verify the 5.0V preamp outputs match your external amplifier requirements.

Upgrade path and value

This unit replaces older single-DIN or basic double-DIN head units lacking smartphone mirroring and high-resolution audio support. The jump is worthwhile when you need wireless CarPlay and Android Auto plus FLAC and WAV playback. It also adds a 13-band equalizer with digital time alignment for advanced sound tuning. Buyers who require a larger floating screen or integrated navigation should consider other models.
