Kenwood DMX50S

Use your phone's apps wirelessly

Interested in getting your smartphone involved as your communications, driver assistance, and entertainment partner when you're cruising down the road? Kenwood's DMX50S multimedia receiver offers a 6.8" touchscreen display with wired or wireless Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® to put all your phone's app goodness front and center. Plus, you'll get a variety of music sources, hands-free calling, serious sound-shaping tools, and plenty of outputs for more gear to improve your journey. Kenwood also reduced the size of this receiver's chassis to fit in a wider range of vehicles.

Harness the computing power of your smartphone

With your iPhone® or Android™ smartphone connected to the DMX50S via USB (to keep your phone charged) or wirelessly, you'll gain touchscreen or voice control access to a variety of apps supported by Android Auto and CarPlay.

Additionally, this Kenwood lets you wirelessly mirror select smartphones using Kenwood's free MirroringAPP+ app, providing touchscreen control over your phone from the receiver.

Add a backup cam

If you're installing a stereo, it's also a great time to add a backup cam, and the DMX50S gives you a dedicated camera input with adjustable parking guidelines you'll see on the display. And if the kids in the back need a bit of distraction, you can feed them some video by connecting additional monitors to this receiver's video output.

More ways to radio

If you're looking for radio stations that won't fade away as you leave the city limits, add a SiriusXM tuner (not included) to this Kenwood to enjoy satellite radio's deep programming from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine. The DMX50S's sensitive AM/FM tuner catches all your local stations too.

Your dream sound

Take advantage of Kenwood's sound-sculpting controls, including a 13-band graphic equalizer to refine that perfect sound. Digital time alignment ensures that the sound from each speaker arrives at your ears at the same time, making you feel like you're in the best seat in the house. You can even tweak the crossover points for your speakers and a subwoofer (which we highly recommend adding to round out your sound).

iDatalink Maestro lets you keep your factory extras

Combined with an iDatalink Maestro RR or RR2 interface (sold separately), the DMX50S includes intuitive vehicle integration that lets you keep factory features that you'd otherwise lose when you install a new radio. Once you've identified your vehicle, you'll see the iDatalink module offered on the way to the Shopping Cart if it's compatible.
