Kenwood DMX 125BT

Big touchscreen and a short chassis.

Drivers in search of a solid upgrade at a not-so-painful price will find Kenwood’s DMX125BT multimedia receiver with its 6.75″ capacitive touchscreen display to be a satisfying addition to their dash. You’ll also have a lot of other great options, including hands-free calling, music streaming, and playback of music and video files stored on USB flash drive. For Android™ users, the big fun of this receiver is controlling your compatible Android device via screen-mirroring when the parking brake is engaged. Kenwood also gave the DMX125BT an incredibly shallow chassis (3-11/16″ deep) for a better fit in challenging dashboards.
