Capacitive high-gloss touch panel

The Moniceiver DMX7520DABS uses a crystal-clear front plate that is protected against fingerprints and an underlying capacitive sensor instead of a conventional film display. This reacts to light fingertips and immediately executes the corresponding commands. The capacitive display shows the images on the 7 "screen in a particularly clear and high-contrast manner and guarantees very precise touchscreen control.

Apple CarPlay

CarPlay - the smart and safe way to use your iPhone in the car. With KENWOOD, this type of iPhone integration is raised to a new level: voice commands are reliably implemented via the Siri function, alternatively the large buttons can be used to control Apple Maps, telephone functions or the music player. The latest iOS version (iOS 12.0 and higher) also supports navigation applications such as Google Maps ™ and Waze ™.

Android Auto

Users of an Android-based smartphone can comfortably take their familiar smartphone environment into the car thanks to the "Android Auto" developed by Google. The user interface of Android Auto is designed for particularly simple and intuitive operation, as an alternative to control using the generously dimensioned touch buttons, many of the applications provided by Android Auto can also be operated comfortably and without taking your hands off the steering wheel using voice control . It is even possible to search for a telephone contact and start a call without having to operate a button on the moniceiver or smartphone. The possibility of dictation and the reading function for SMS round off the comfortable communication features of Android Auto. In addition to access to the music library of the connected smartphone, the streaming service "Google Play Music" is also possible. The tried-and-tested "Google Maps" is used for navigation in Android Auto and allows precise, voice-based route guidance including the integration of current traffic data, clear lane guidance and many other additional functions. In addition to the basic applications
Many other apps are compatible with Android Auto and can expand the range of functions with messaging services, internet radio services or other compatible apps. Android Auto is designed for use with Android smartphones from OS 5.0 (Lollipop), the smartphone is connected via a USB cable, via which the smartphone is also charged during operation.

Hi.Res audio

The current Kenwood moniceivers are capable of hi-res audio files with a resolution
playback up to 192kHz / 24Bit. Such files contain considerably more information than a conventional CD recording with 44.1kHz / 16Bit. This additional information and the significantly expanded frequency range ensure a fascinating sound quality and an incredibly acoustic feeling of space when listening to a hi-res audio file.

Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit

The Bluetooth module enables safe and convenient phone calls while driving. The speech quality is ensured by the supplied external microphone and a sophisticated sound processing with suppression of echo and background noise. The option of coupling two telephones simultaneously and operating them in parallel is particularly practical. With the new "Kenwood Music Mix" function, up to 5 phones can be connected in parallel for music playback. For audio streaming via A2DP, the AVRCP 1.5 profile with extended control and search functions including display of title, artist, album, etc. is used. Thanks to touch menus, the operation of all Bluetooth functions is child's play, access to the phone book of the mobile phone is just as possible as the callback function.

Kenwood Remote S

The Kenwood Remote S app turns compatible Android and Apple smartphones into a comprehensive remote control for compatible Kenwood Moniceivers. The app is controlled via large touch buttons for basic commands such as pause or title jump can be carried out via the app on the smartphone. The Kenwood Remote S app is available free of charge from the Google Playstore and the App Store.

DSP with digital runtime correction

The diverse, digital audio functions of the Kenwood moniceivers help to ideally implement the brilliant sound of the 24-bit D / A converter even under difficult acoustic conditions in the car. In addition to a 13-band equalizer or a digital active crossover, features such as the "Stage EQ" also help make music playback in the car as realistic and true to the original as possible. In addition, the digital sound processor enables runtime correction for the correct playback of music and can be set individually for each channel.

Easy pairing and voice control

Thanks to the "Easy Pairing" routine, pairing a smartphone for both iPhone and Android for the first time is completely problem-free and is initially carried out once using a USB cable. Once this process has been completed, the smartphone is added to the pairing list and from then on automatically connected to the moniceiver. The voice control engines of many current smartphones that can be used with the Kenwood Moniceivers are also particularly practical. With the corresponding menu icon on the Kenwood device, voice control of the smartphone can be activated and voice commands accepted.

3 camera inputs

The Navitainers and Moniceivers, equipped with 3 camera inputs, allow maximum convenience, flexibility and security. For example, a front camera, a KENWOOD dash cam (DRV-N520 sold separately) and a rear view camera can be connected to the 3 camera inputs. Alternatively, several other configurations such as the connection of 2 blind cameras and a rear view camera are also supported.
