About this deal
We'd go as far as saying Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are must-have features on a new car, but now numerous big-name aftermarket audio firms provide compatible devices of some description. We tested Sony's option a few years ago and, while Kenwood's isn't a like-for-like alternative (technology moves fast and that review's now three years old), it is more advanced. Phone Hands Free ready: make and receive calls. With a touch of a button you can switch between two phones.
So, ultimately, yes you should buy a Kenwood DMX8020DABS. It's an easy way of getting modern infotainment into an old car and no, there aren't really any catches. It looks the part, is easy to operate and is well worth the investment. 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.Connect the unit and iPod /iPhone with the attached iPod cable and Apple Lightning - 30 pin adapter. band Graphic Equalizer gives you the possebility to fine-tune advanced sound properties to achieve professional audio sound quality in your vehicle.

Wireless AA does use a fair chunk of power especially if you're navigating, so don't bin that USB cable just yet
Compatible with Hi-Res Audio which provides greater sound clarity and detail than standard compressed digital audio formats. 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). a>
