Kenwood Excellence

Kenwood eXcelon ddx790

Sick of looking at that stock stereo in your your car? Then Kenwood's DDX790 multimedia double-DIN receiver is a must for you! You get a factory look with great features, including touchscreen navigation ready, Bluetooth connectivity, DVD playback, smartphone app access, and much more. And a wealth of connections allows you to enjoy music from your thumb drive or iPod, as well as songs or files on disc. eXcelon products incorporate the latest technologies and deliver the highest sonic performance. From advanced audio tuning capabilities, crossover and equalizer systems, high voltage preouts and two-year warranty, eXcelon represents the very best product available.

Garmin GPS guidance Ready

Kenwood eXcelon DDX790

iPhone 4/4S users can now use their device to display Garmin's map interface onto any 2013 DDX monitor (optional KCA-iP202 cable required). Purchase the Garmin On-Board App from iTunes (U.S.A or N.America map versions), add the Vehicle Display Integration option and you will now be able to view the map and hear directions through the DDX receiver. As an on-board App, you will use minimal GPS data for navigating.

USB Connectivity for iPhone, iPod & other compatible mass storage devices

Kenwood eXcelon DNX719VHD

USB-enabled DDX multimedia receiver models, feature USB connectivity for audio playback from popular devices like iPhone and iPod. Featuring easy-to-use user interface, iPod browsing is a breeze when searching by playlist, artist, album, song, genres or composer. For added versatility, App/iPod Mode disables the receiver's integrated control, enabling passengers to control the iPod manually including some selected Apps. The same USB connectivity allows users to connect USB thumb drives and external hard disk drives.

Bluetooth built-in

Kenwood eXcelon DNX719VHD

If your vehicle doesn't have factory Bluetooth system then DDX790 has you covered. It features built-in Bluetooth connectivity that allows you to take and calls make without having to touch your phone, so you can keep your hands on the steering wheel. You'll hear your caller over the car's speakers, while the built-in microphone picks up your voice crystal clear. You can also stream music from your compatible mobile device to the Kenwood receiver.

System Expansion

Kenwood eXcelon DNX719VHD

Kenwood is all about system expansion. You can add a SiriusXM satellite radio tuner SXV200V1 (required and sold separately) to the DDX790 and access a huge variety of sports, news, entertainment, and commercial-free music that satellite radio gives you. The DDX790 also has a dedicated connection for a rear-view camera, so you can see if there are any kids or obstacles behind you as you back out of a tight parking space or your driveway. If you're a true audiophile and are looking to add amps and subs, there are three sets of 4-volt preamp outputs available, including a dedicated subwoofer output with level control and low-pass filter.

Video Playback

Kenwood eXcelon DDX790

You can watch DVDs on the 6.95" screen while parked, and this receiver will work with your VW factory rear seat entertainment system. You can also use the rear audio/video output to add rear seat screens — then use the dual zone feature to let your passengers watch movies in back while you listen to music up front.

Keep your vehicles steering wheel audio controls

Kenwood eXcelon DDX790

In most Volkswagen vehicles you can use PAC SWI-PSv1 or the Axxess ASWC (required and sold separately) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to the Kenwood stereo. Simply connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular vehicle and the headunit and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls.
