About the Kenwood DAX800XR 8" Direct Replacement Digital Multimedia Receiver

The Kenwood Excelon DAX800XR is an 8-inch direct-replacement multimedia receiver built as two pieces: the display mounts flush in the dash and the chassis hides behind it. It runs wired or wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on a 1280 x 720 capacitive touchscreen, and adds HD Radio, SiriusXM 360L readiness and a rear camera input. As an Excelon model it carries 5-volt preamp outputs, a 13-band parametric EQ, digital time alignment and an optical digital output. It is rated 4.3 out of 5 from 14 ratings, and owners praise the flush factory-style fit and the screen while citing installation and the extra parts needed for factory integration as the main friction points.

    Questions and answers

    Does it fit my car?
    It is a 1-DIN two-piece unit with a 4.12-inch mounting depth, so fit depends on your dash and a vehicle-specific kit. Kenwood positions it as an OEM replacement, and Crutchfield lists iDatalink Maestro APX kits to keep the factory look and controls. Check your vehicle's kit before buying.
    Do I need extra parts for factory controls and SiriusXM?
    Yes. Keeping factory controls and cameras needs an iDatalink Maestro APX kit, and SiriusXM needs an optional tuner. HD Radio is built in.
    Does it have built-in navigation?
    No. GPS is provided by the connected phone through CarPlay or Android Auto, so navigation comes from your phone's maps app.
    What is in the box?
    The receiver, an IR remote with an external IR receiver, a GPS antenna with a self-stick pad, a 40-inch USB extension cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
    Is the DAX800XR worth it?
    You pay for a flush 8-inch HD screen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and Excelon tuning. If you want a factory-look dash and plan to use the preamp outputs and EQ, it earns its keep. If you only need basic CarPlay, a cheaper 1-DIN unit does the job.
    How does it compare with a standard 1-DIN receiver?
    The two-piece layout separates the display from the chassis so the screen sits flush in the dash, and the Excelon line adds 5-volt preamps, a 13-band parametric EQ, time alignment and an optical output. A standard 1-DIN unit is simpler to install but usually has a smaller screen and less tuning.
