About this deal

The key selling point of the Kenwood DMX8020DABS is its Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatibility. If you haven't used these before, they're brilliant – just connect your phone (via Bluetooth or old-fashioned USB) and you can access all your favourite apps on the move. Or some of them, at least (Spotify, Google Maps and Waze to name a few). It also has an HDMI input (you could run a games console through the display if you wish), as well Bluetooth connectivity for both streaming music or making phone calls. It also has wireless screen mirroring for Android, which is great for watching videos (when parked up). Should I buy one?

KENWOOD DMX5020DABS is the latest CarPlay & Android Auto 6.8” model – ideal for getting your apps on the go. However you listen to music or plan your journey this unit will have something to offer; 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.

In the box, you'll find the stereo itself, as well as a wiring loom to connect to your car (you'll probably need an adapter as well). There's a microphone (for handsfree calls), a USB extension (for connecting your phone) and a GPS antenna for using Google Maps. Depending on the connected control unit, source name may be displayed "EXT-MEDIA", "*-MEDIA" or CD Changer ("CD-CH"etc.).USB Mirroring for Android, displays & control your Android phone on the large touch screen of this KENWOOD receiver with impressive sound. Including convenient 2-way touch control capability. DAB+, also known as Digital Audio Broadcasting Plus, provides crystal-clear audio quality and interference-free reception. DAB+ uses the AAC+ audio codec, which allows for greater compression without loss of audio quality and is comparable with CD audio quality. It uses a more efficient coding system to transmit digital data resulting in more stations being able to broadcast on the same frequency and allows for the delivery real time data services such as such as the station name and logo, presenter, song title and album artwork.

Glad to hear the screen is better, as that's one of my gripes about the Pioneer unit I have. The UI in the Pioneer isn't fantastic either (better than OEM), so as long as the Kenwood is "as good" then I will be happy, especially if the screen is more responsive. This model also offers USB Mirroring for Android phones enabling the whole phone handsets screen to be replicated on the 6.8” screen – ideal for entertainment from games to movies in your dashboard.data-src="https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/washford/Halfords Car Audio fitting & installation service" Before starting, just install the free smartphone screen sharing application “Mirroring OA for KENWOOD” on your Android smartphone and connect it to the KENWOOD receiver via Bluetooth and a USB cable. (Compatible phone required). 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: Two phones can be paired via Bluetooth ® connectivity for hands-free calls and music streaming – a work and personal phone or his and hers.
