About the Kenwood DAX800XR 8" Direct Replacement Digital Multimedia Receiver

The Kenwood DAX800XR is a 1-DIN digital multimedia receiver with a separated 8-inch capacitive touch display, so the screen can be flush-mounted in the dash while the chassis sits behind it. It runs Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, adds built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, HDMI input, HD Radio and SiriusXM readiness, and supports a backup camera. The 1280x720 display has an anti-glare coating and a bright LED backlight. At $799 at Crutchfield as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the only price seen since October 29, 2026, so there is no discount history to judge against yet.

Best forDrivers who want a factory-look 8-inch screen in a 1-DIN openingiPhone and Android users who rely on CarPlay or Android Auto dailyOwners adding a backup camera and SiriusXMVehicles with shallow dash depth where a full double-DIN won't fit
Pros
  • Large 8-inch 1280x720 capacitive screen with anti-glare coating
  • Separated display and chassis fit many 1-DIN dash openings
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless-friendly connectivity
  • HDMI input and video output for extra sources and rear screens
Backup camera input and SiriusXM 360L readiness built in
  • CarPlay and Android Auto cover navigation and media from the phone
    • Cons
    • $799 is steep for a receiver without built-in navigation
    • GPS depends on the connected phone, so no offline maps on its own
    • SiriusXM needs an optional tuner, an extra cost
    • Installation is vehicle-specific and the separated chassis still needs 4.12 inches of depth
    • Only 14 ratings, so the reliability record is thin

    What reviewers say

    Reception is limited but positive, at 4.3 out of 5 from 14 ratings. Owners tend to focus on the big screen and the factory-style fit rather than audio tuning.

    Pros
    • Large, sharp 8-inch display
    • Clean flush look in the dash
    • CarPlay and Android Auto work well
    Cons
    • Price is high for the feature set
    • Extra tuner needed for SiriusXM

    Questions and answers

    Is the DAX800XR worth $799?
    It is worth it if you need a big 8-inch screen in a 1-DIN space and want CarPlay, Android Auto, Wi-Fi and HDMI in one unit. If you have room for a standard double-DIN receiver, cheaper options cover most of the same features.
    Does it have built-in navigation?
    No. GPS comes from the connected phone through CarPlay or Android Auto, so navigation needs a phone connection and a data plan for live maps.
    What is in the box?
    Expect the display, the hideaway chassis, wiring harness, microphone, USB cable and mounting hardware. Check the listing for your vehicle's specific dash kit, which is usually sold separately.
    Will it fit my car?
    It fits vehicles with a 1-DIN opening and at least 4.12 inches of mounting depth behind the dash. Because the screen is separated from the chassis, it suits some dashes where a full double-DIN unit won't go.
    Does it support a backup camera and SiriusXM?
    Yes to both, but neither is included. You need a compatible camera and, for satellite radio, an optional SiriusXM tuner.
    When is it cheapest?
    The price has held at $799 at Crutchfield since October 29, 2026, with no lower point recorded. Watch for holiday and car-audio sales, when head units typically see their deepest cuts.
