The Kenwood DMX8020DABS is a modern infotainment system that replaces the dated double-din stereo in your old car.dB, this car radio delivers excellent sound quality, minimizing background noise for a more immersive audio experience. We find this more intuitive to use than the Kenwood's buttons but, if your car has steering wheel controls (our 2005 Toyota MR2 test vehicle doesn't) they can be connected to the media system. Additionally, it features an LED backlight, ensuring optimal visibility in various lighting conditions.

The capacitive touch display installed in the new Moniceiver DMX8019DABS is coated with an anti-glare coating that noticeably reduces glare without sacrificing clarity or contrast. The diverse digital audio features of the Kenwood moniceivers help to implement the brilliant sound of the 24-bit D/A converter ideally even under difficult acoustic conditions in the car. Simple touch screen sound customization is also available with its built-in 13-Band EQ and Digital Time Alignment. The 3 camera inputs can be connected to a front camera, a KENWOOD dash cam (DRV-N520 sold separately) and a rear view camera. Sound quality enthusiasts will love the playback support of various types of music formats, including compatibility with FLAC files.

Drivers have appreciated the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interfaces for several years now, with which important smartphone apps can be used and operated directly from the car radio.

To our ears, music played through the stereo sounds pretty good (but what else would you expect from a name like Kenwood?
