KENWOOD DDX9907XR

A RECEIVER THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO DRIVE MORE

The Kenwood Excelon DDX9907XR DVD receiver epitomizes what the "Excelon" series is all about. In addition to its superior build quality and sweet audiophile sound package, this receiver offers the ability to connect four cameras, which can help integrate factory and aftermarket cameras. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ provide familiar smartphone interfaces on the large 6.75" high-definition touchscreen display, which can be customized to your preferences. Versatile Bluetooth®, a built-in HD Radio® tuner, and high-res music capability help make for an infotainment system anyone would love to have at the helm of their vehicle. And, Kenwood backs up this receiver with a 2-year warranty.

AN HD DISPLAY TO RUN THE SHOW

This Kenwood's big screen plays video content in bright, clear detail when you're parked. When you're on the road, you can entertain your passengers by sending a movie from the receiver to a rear-seat screen. You can use three dedicated camera inputs for backup cameras, front-dash cameras, and even side-view cameras in select vehicles. The DDX9907XR also includes a direct connection for Kenwood's DRV-N520 Drive Recorder HD dash cam, which means you get camera control and alerts directly on the receiver's display. Kenwood also provides an electronic angle adjustment for the display, so you can tailor the screen's contrast for the best viewing in your vehicle's dash location — all without physically moving the display. 

GET YOUR PHONE MORE INVOLVED

Using this Kenwood's wireless connection, your smartphone links right up and you're ready to roll with all the voice-control wonderfulness that Android Auto and Apple CarPlay bring to driving. (Find out more at www.android.com/auto and www.apple.com/ios/carplay.) In addition, the DDX9907XR offers wireless screen mirroring for select Android phones, which lets you select apps directly from the Kenwood touchscreen. iPhone® users, you can plug into one of the USB ports and mirror your iOS display.

And when your phone needs some juice, plug it in, and you'll still get access to all your navigation, phone calls, weather, text messages, and music through simple controls and voice commands you're familiar with — all while your battery charges. If you prefer to stay wireless and you have a compatible phone, you can also charge up with a wireless Qi charger.

MORE WIRELESS VERSATILITY WITH BLUETOOTH

Since yours is probably not the only phone used in your vehicle, the DDX9907XR enables you to pair two Bluetooth-equipped phones and quickly switch between them for hands-free calling. And when you're streaming audio, Kenwood's Music Mix feature lets you pair five phones so everybody can pick their tunes for the ultimate road trip playlist. Load up the Kenwood Remote S app on your phone, and passengers can control some basic functions on this receiver wirelessly. This Kenwood also includes LDAC, which means you can stream high-res sound via Bluetooth using select Android phones.

LOTS OF MUSIC OPTIONS

Got a high-res music library? You'll be stoked that this receiver will play high-res music files stored on a USB drive. And if you listen Internet radio on your iPhone or Android, you'll really dig playing music from Pandora and Spotify on this receiver. Using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto will open up even more music apps for you, as well.

If you're looking for radio stations that won't fade away as you leave the city limits, add a SiriusXM tuner to this Kenwood to enjoy satellite radio's deep programming from coast to coast. And if you have local stations that broadcast in HD, this receiver's built-in HD Radio tuner will deliver super-clean sound and display artist, song, and station info.

GREAT OPTIONS FOR SYSTEM TWEAKING AND EXPANSION

For those who like to dial up their sound, Kenwood included a 13-band equalizer with a built-in digital signal processor. Time alignment is also on board, so you can adjust the timing of sound to your system's speakers to make sure you're center stage for all your music.

The DDX9907XR also includes three pairs of gold-plated 5-volt preamp outputs that provide an ultra-clean signal when it's time to add amplifiers to your system. If you want to amplify your woofers, midrange speakers, and tweeters separately, you can switch to a 3-way crossover system that directs lows, mids, and highs to the right amplifiers — all from this receiver's touchscreen display.

IDATALINK MAESTRO LETS YOU KEEP YOUR FACTORY EXTRAS

The DDX9907XR offers compatibility you won't find in many other aftermarket radios, thanks to the iDatalink Maestro module (not included). In a wide selection of vehicles, this module lets you keep factory features that you'd otherwise lose when you install a new radio. You'll also be able to check out engine performance data and other vehicle info on the Kenwood's screen, even radar info from a compatible detector. Once you've identified your vehicle, you'll see the iDatalink module offered on the way to the Shopping Cart if it's compatible.
