Kenwood DDX8901HD

Keep up with what's going on in the world outside your car with the Kenwood Excelon DDX8901HD receiver. It's got the all of the standard features you're used to, including a 6.95" touchscreen display, outstanding guidance with traffic reports, Bluetooth, a built-in HD Radio tuner, smartphone integration, SiriusXM capability, SYNC Compatibility for Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and much more.


Car Portal for iDatalink

Kenwood eXcelon DNX690HD

There is finally a real solution for Ford SYNC owners. Kenwood, in a collaborative effort with ADS (Automotive Data Solutions), a Ford SYNC customer can now keep the existing SYNC features in their vehicle. Features like iPod control, Bluetooth, Satellite radio and 911 assist. They seamlessly integrate with Kenwood’s advanced user interface and Garmin navigation system found on a range of Kenwood receivers to communicate and display the on-board SYNC features of the car. The optional iDatalink interface/wiring harness will give owners of compatible Ford/Lincoln vehicles the best navigation option on the market by adding an affordable Kenwood DDX model as an alternative to expensive factory navigation solutions.

Bluetooth Built-In

Kenwood eXcelon DNX690HD

If your vehicle doesn't have factory Bluetooth system then DDX8901HD has you covered. It features built-in Bluetooth wireless technology that promotes safe driving habits by allowing you to have a hands-free conversation while you drive without the need to hold a phone. Incoming calls can be set to pick up automatically or at the touch of a button if you prefer to screen incoming calls. For outgoing calls, you can choose to dial out by scrolling through your phonebook on the easy to read display interface or by voice dialing if enabled on your compatible smartphone

System Expansion

Kenwood eXcelon DNX690HD

Kenwood is all about system expansion. You can add a SiriusXM satellite radio tuner SXV200V1 (required and sold separately) to the DDX8901HD and access a huge variety of sports, news, entertainment, and commercial-free music that satellite radio gives you. The DDX8901HD 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 5-volt preamp outputs available, including a dedicated subwoofer output with level control and low-pass filter.

Infotainment Retention

The Kenwood DDX8901HD stereo is compatible with iDatalink Maestro products which allow you to seamlessly integrate your vehicle's original factory infotainment systems with your new stereo. Features you'll be able to retain include hands-free Bluetooth, the USB media player, satellite radio, steering wheel controls and more. You'll also be able to display vehicle information on your stereo screen like climate control, visual park assist and various gauges displaying engine temperatures, pressures and the tachometer.

Cool stereo, bad handling

I ordered about $1,600 dollars worth of products from SonicElectronix. On arrival everything looked good except for the box of this headunit. It was absolutely beat up and was already opened! I checked to make sure everything was in it, luckily it was. So I took it to my audio installer and they were able to install everything just fine. However, the lights on this head unit are two different hues of color. For example, the white on the left side is a crisp white, but the white on the right side is dingy. This happens with whatever color I have display.
