Motorized 6.8" HD Touchscreen
The Kenwood Excelon DNX997XR is a DVD/CD navigation receiver with a motorized 6.8 inch HD capacitive touchscreen that features reverse tilt. It includes a built-in Garmin navigation system covering the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Built-in Bluetooth supports hands-free calling and music streaming. It is designed for drivers who want integrated navigation and smartphone connectivity in a single DIN chassis.
1280 x 720 High-Definition Display
The display resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels is the specification that determines whether text, maps, and video appear sharp enough for daily use. This 720p panel renders the Garmin navigation maps and smartphone interfaces with high-definition clarity. If your primary need is a lower-resolution screen to reduce cost, this unit exceeds that requirement. Buyers who need a screen larger than 6.8 inches should consider other form factors.
13-Band Graphic EQ and DSP
The receiver uses a 13-band graphic EQ and built-in DSP to shape audio output during extended listening sessions. These tools allow precise frequency adjustment and signal processing that remain stable over long drives. The HD Radio tuner provides consistent digital broadcast quality without signal drift. Buyers who want more than 13 bands of equalization or external processor integration will find those options absent.

Questions about this item
How does the 720p resolution look on the 6.8" screen when I am driving?
The 1280 by 720 pixel panel gives a sharp, high-definition picture that stays readable in bright daylight and works well for navigation maps or parked video playback.
What does the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connection rely on, and what limits it?
It uses the built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi link; range and stability depend on phone placement and local interference, but no cable is required for the connection.
What dashboard opening does the motorized 6.8" touchscreen with reverse tilt need to fit?
It fits a standard double-DIN opening; the motorised faceplate slides out and tilts backward, so allow clearance behind the dash for the mechanism.
