Description


Kenwood brand icon

Authorized dealer

The Modular Audiophile Masterpiece

The Kenwood eXcelon DAX800XR is the top-tier "Reference" version of Kenwood’s modular 8" receiver line. While most premium head units use a fixed or floating screen, the DAX800XR features a separated display and chassis design. This modularity is a "problem solver" for modern vehicles with shallow or oddly shaped dashboards—the 8" HD screen mounts flush where the factory display was, while the "brain" (the chassis) is tucked away behind the dash or kick panel.

As an eXcelon Reference model, it is built with the highest-grade internal components Kenwood offers, including custom-made power supply capacitors and gold-plated terminals. It doesn't just provide a screen; it provides a studio-grade signal path for high-end audio builds.

Great choice for replacing radio in 2013-2019 Ford Taurus

Installed in a 2017 Taurus. Retains factory look! With all the required installation parts and accessories, the DAX800XR works great! Plenty of features, and most of the factory features are retained. All of my speakers sound great (so far, I've replaced the rear doors with aftermarket speakers). Plenty of sound adjustment options! I recommend this unit (and the others that are direct replacement) for anyone that wants to retain the factory look of your dash while having an upgraded radio.
