Kenwood’s absolutely cutting-edge integration unit, the DAX8000XDS is the future of car head units. A compact single-din chassis and a large 8″ touchscreen, designed for dashboards where traditional head unit replacements aren’t viable allows us to further push the envelope of what’s possible.
The photos in this product gallery showcase the DAX8000XDS seamlessly fitted into the VF commodore and PX2 Ranger platform, as well as a custom installation we performed in a Maserati Levante
The KENWOOD DAX8000XDS features a modular design with the screen separate from the chassis, providing flexible installation options that suit a wide range of vehicle types. It is packed with a variety of premium features, including:
To achieve full functionality, the MAESTRO APX and MAESTRO RR modules are required, ensuring full integration with factory systems. These modules allow the DAX8000XDS to retain essential vehicle settings and deliver advanced features such as customisable gauge displays and real-time vehicle data.
