6.8" WSVGA Capacitive Touchscreen Receiver
The Kenwood DMX40S is a 6.8-inch multimedia receiver built around a WSVGA capacitive touchscreen. It integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with USB mirroring for direct smartphone access to navigation, music and messaging. Built-in Bluetooth handles hands-free calls and wireless audio streaming, while the included CMOS-230LP1 universal backup camera adds rear-view visibility with parking guidelines. The short chassis simplifies installation in a wide range of dash openings.
Drivers Wanting Smartphone Integration
This unit suits drivers who want a responsive touchscreen interface for CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth streaming plus a dedicated camera input for safer reversing. The 13-band EQ with digital time alignment and high-resolution FLAC playback up to 24-bit/192kHz appeal to listeners who value audio tuning. Buyers needing HD Radio, a built-in navigation engine, wireless CarPlay or Android Auto, or more than two preamp outputs should look at other models.
Short Chassis for Easier Dash Installation
The receiver uses a short chassis design that reduces depth behind the dashboard, making it easier to fit into vehicles with limited space behind the head-unit cavity. This physical constraint is the key specification that decides whether the DMX40S will install cleanly without interfering with wiring harnesses, HVAC ducts or structural braces.

Questions about this item
Does the Kenwood DMX40S package include the CMOS-230LP1 backup camera or must it be purchased separately?
The product is supplied with the CMOS-230LP1 universal backup camera included in the box, so no separate purchase is needed for rear-view functionality.
Should I choose the DMX40S for its 6.8 inch WSVGA capacitive touchscreen or look for a larger display model?
The 6.8 inch WSVGA capacitive touchscreen provides clear visuals and responsive control; if a larger screen is required, a different model would be necessary.
What does the 3.7 volt pre-out rating mean when I connect amplifiers to the Kenwood DMX40S?
The 3.7 volt pre-outs deliver a strong, clean signal to external amplifiers, reducing noise and allowing higher volume before distortion compared to lower-voltage outputs.
