Product Information

Android Auto was designed with safety in mind, helping you to minimize distractions and stay focused on the road. 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. You can even listen to and control music from your favorite streaming services like Pandora and Spotify. Navigate to where you need to with Google Maps or Waze. New KENWOOD Wi-Fi receivers also support Android Auto wirelessly (compatible phone required) What I want is when I get in the car and my phone connects wirelessly to the Headunit automatically, I would like the stereo screen to open Google Maps each time, I don't want to have to press and launch Google maps by pressing the button like he did...don't get me wrong, I'm not being lazy, just seeing if it can be done. You can connect up to 3 camera's to this receiver: a rear camera with parking guideline support, the KENWOOD CMOS-320 (sold separately & controlled via the Camera Link) and a blind view (left/right) camera. The AV-input is assignable as 3rd camera input. Setting of camera type and display switching between 3 cameras can be operated easily via the receiver’s large screen.

Connect the unit and iPod /iPhone with listed KENWOOD HDMI cable and the Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter, Lightning to USB Cable (accessory of the iPod/iPhone). I believe this unit also supports custom wallpapers, so I might see if I can use the silhouette there as well. Yeah, I am going to neaten it all up later, try and tape everything that's needed away neatly and make sure nothing is rattling around. If that's the case, I'll plug the GPS in at the same time then.USB Mirroring for Android allows you to display and control your Android smartphone on the receiver screen via USB. You can enjoy your favorite apps on a large display with impressive sound quality. Before starting True Mirroring, just install the free app “ Mirroring for KENWOOD” on your smartphone and connect it to the receiver via Bluetooth as well as a USB cable. I originally tagged this question onto a old thread I had when I had the Kenwood DMX-8019 unit, but I'm not getting much help, so I've created a new thread. With Bluetooth functionality, the Kenwood DMX8020DABS enables hands-free calling, providing convenience and safety while on the road. It also supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing seamless integration with smartphones and access to various apps and features.

Digital Time Alignment allows you to digitally delay the closest speakers so that the sound of every speaker reaches your ears at the same time. I've looked at various settings on the phone and headunit, but can't see if there is a option to make this happen.I've just fitted a Kenwood DMX8020DABS and discovered you can modify the boot screen of the unit to give it a slightly more OEM appearance (sadly I don't think you can do much about the rest of the UI which is a bit less polished...). Here's the end result: I think I remember reading somewhere that Google themselves are going to make this happen in a future AA update. Wireless Mirroring is a groundbreaking solution for seamlessly displaying and controlling your smartphone apps on the receivers’ large screen without cables. The feature is available on compatible Android phones. Some features, applications and services are not available in every region.

Wireless AA does use a fair chunk of power especially if you're navigating, so don't bin that USB cable just yet I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A that I'm trying to set in the vehicle to use Torque Pro. I have not been able to use the Wireless Mirroring because the Tab A doesn't have a function to turn on the Wireless Mirroring. Connect the unit and iPod /iPhone with listed KENWOOD accessory iPod cable, HDMI cable and the Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter.High-Resolution Audio is high-quality sound that far exceeds CD standards and can play 192kHz / 24bit audio files. It captures and beautifully expresses details and nuances from the ultra-high to low frequencies. High-Resolution Audio Capturing all the details, from your favorite artists’ every breath, to the complex soundscape that surrounds them. Also...this has a capacitive touch screen am I right? Currently have a Pioneer unit with a resistive touch screen which isn't great if I'm honest. The Kenwood screens do seem superior.
