Authorized dealer

The 10.1" Floating HD Hub

The Kenwood DMX1038S is a flagship-tier 10.1" digital multimedia receiver that brings a "floating" big-screen experience to almost any vehicle. Built with a Single-DIN chassis, it is designed to fit where traditional double-DIN screens might not, while its massive, high-definition display hovers in front of the dash with a 4-way adjustable mounting system.

This unit isn't just about size; it’s about visual precision. It features a Bonded Optical Display that eliminates the air gap between the touch panel and the LCD, drastically reducing glare and internal reflections. Combined with AAS (Azimuthal Anchoring Switch) technology, you get a 170° viewing angle, ensuring that even passengers in the back seat see a vibrant, high-contrast image.

Awesome Radio!

The following review is for a previous version (DMX1037S).

I upgraded from an older Kenwood DMX7705S and this radio is far superior. I love the larger screen and wireless Apple CarPlay capabilities and I didn't have to wire in the new harness, as the one from the DMX7705s was able to be used.
