An HD display to run the show

Get your phone more involved

Using this Kenwood’s wireless connection, your smartphone links right up and you’re ready to roll with all the voice-control wonderfulness that Android Auto and Apple CarPlay bring to driving. (Find out more at www.android.com/auto and www.apple.com/ios/carplay.) In addition, the DDX9907XR offers wireless screen mirroring for select Android phones, which lets you select apps directly from the Kenwood touchscreen. iPhone® users, you can plug into one of the USB ports and mirror your iOS display.

And when your phone needs some juice, plug it in, and you’ll still get access to all your navigation, phone calls, weather, text messages, and music through simple controls and voice commands you’re familiar with — all while your battery charges. If you prefer to stay wireless and you have a compatible phone, you can also charge up with a wireless Qi charger.

Lots of music options

Got a high-res music library? You’ll be stoked that this receiver will play high-res music files stored on a USB drive. And if you listen Internet radio on your iPhone or Android, you’ll really dig playing music from Pandora and Spotify on this receiver. Using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto will open up even more music apps for you, as well.

If you’re looking for radio stations that won’t fade away as you leave the city limits, add a SiriusXM tuner to this Kenwood to enjoy satellite radio’s deep programming from coast to coast. And if you have local stations that broadcast in HD, this receiver’s built-in HD Radio tuner will deliver super-clean sound and display artist, song, and station info.

Great options for system tweaking and expansion

For those who like to dial up their sound, Kenwood included a 13-band equalizer with a built-in digital signal processor. Time alignment is also on board, so you can adjust the timing of sound to your system’s speakers to make sure you’re center stage for all your music.
