About this deal

The only thing with the Samsungs I'm aware of is there was a recent update to their flavour of Android (One UI I think?) which caused some issues. Have a look at r/androidauto on Reddit for any kind of issues like that. Usually it's on the handset side of things rather than the head unit/vehicle. KENWOOD DMX5020DABS is the latest CarPlay & Android Auto 6.8” model – ideal for getting your apps on the go. However you listen to music or plan your journey this unit will have something to offer; Pioneer’s contender looks great value, especially considering its power and sound quality. As on the winning Kenwood there are no separate buttons, and it’s controlled via the touchscreen, which gives it a really clean and modern look. This KENWOOD unit comes equipped with built-in Bluetooth technology to enable hands-free calling allowing you to make and receive calls. Music streaming to play music, podcasts, or any other audio content from your smartphone and all this without physically holding your phone. The unit support voice commands, allowing you to perform actions without touching your phone. You can initiate calls, play music or perform other tasks just by speaking voice commands and keeping your hands on the steering wheel where they belong and concentrate on the road ahead. There's not a lot going against the Kenwood DMX8020DABS. There are cheaper options, but you kind of get what you pay for. Not only does it do pretty much everything you could possibly want from an aftermarket infotainment system, you can also rest easy in the knowledge that Kenwood is one of the biggest names in automotive audio tech.

So, ultimately, yes you should buy a Kenwood DMX8020DABS. It's an easy way of getting modern infotainment into an old car and no, there aren't really any catches. It looks the part, is easy to operate and is well worth the investment. a>

To listen music

Android Auto was designed with safety in mind, helping you to minimize distractions and stay focused on the road. KENWOOD’s multimedia receivers combine an intuitive voice controlled interface with a large touch screen and superior sound quality, making it the perfect complement for your in-car life. You can even listen to and control music from your favorite streaming services like Pandora and Spotify. Navigate to where you need to with Google Maps or Waze. New KENWOOD Wi-Fi receivers also support Android Auto wirelessly (compatible phone required) data-src="https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/washford/Halfords Car Audio fitting & installation service" What I want is when I get in the car and my phone connects wirelessly to the Headunit automatically, I would like the stereo screen to open Google Maps each time, I don't want to have to press and launch Google maps by pressing the button like he did...don't get me wrong, I'm not being lazy, just seeing if it can be done.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A that I'm trying to set in the vehicle to use Torque Pro. I have not been able to use the Wireless Mirroring because the Tab A doesn't have a function to turn on the Wireless Mirroring. High-Resolution Audio is high-quality sound that far exceeds CD standards and can play 192kHz / 24bit audio files. It captures and beautifully expresses details and nuances from the ultra-high to low frequencies. High-Resolution Audio Capturing all the details, from your favorite artists’ every breath, to the complex soundscape that surrounds them. Best of all, it will bring your car bang up to date with access to the very latest in smartphone connectivity. Which is the smartest choice to go with your phone? How we tested them

With Bluetooth functionality, the Kenwood DMX8020DABS enables hands-free calling, providing convenience and safety while on the road. It also supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing seamless integration with smartphones and access to various apps and features. The iPhone is connected because my wife turned on Google Maps on her phone and the voice comes through. USB Mirroring for Android, displays & control your Android phone on the large touch screen of this KENWOOD receiver with impressive sound. Including convenient 2-way touch control capability. This model also offers USB Mirroring for Android phones enabling the whole phone handsets screen to be replicated on the 6.8” screen – ideal for entertainment from games to movies in your dashboard. It also has an HDMI input (you could run a games console through the display if you wish), as well Bluetooth connectivity for both streaming music or making phone calls. It also has wireless screen mirroring for Android, which is great for watching videos (when parked up). Should I buy one?

Ah, he specifically states " defaults" maybe it just the manufacturers car head units with AA built in that do it ?

I've just fitted a Kenwood DMX8020DABS and discovered you can modify the boot screen of the unit to give it a slightly more OEM appearance (sadly I don't think you can do much about the rest of the UI which is a bit less polished...). Here's the end result: I think I remember reading somewhere that Google themselves are going to make this happen in a future AA update.
