6.8 Inch DVD Navigation Receiver
The Kenwood DNX697S is a double-DIN head unit built around a 6.8 inch clear resistive touchscreen. It combines a DVD/CD player with AM/FM and HD Radio tuners plus a built-in Garmin navigation system covering the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The unit supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for smartphone mirroring.
Drivers wanting integrated Garmin maps
Buyers who rely on factory steering-wheel controls, external camera inputs or a capacitive touchscreen should consider other models. The resistive screen requires deliberate pressure and does not offer the light-touch response of modern phone displays. Vehicles without a double-DIN opening cannot accommodate this chassis.
6.8 inch resistive touchscreen
The 6.8 inch clear resistive touchscreen is the primary interface for maps, media and phone projection. It delivers built-in Garmin guidance with 6 million points of interest, text-to-speech street names, lane assistance and junction view. DVD, CD, MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV and FLAC playback are handled through the same display.
