Description
Note: two things worth flagging — (1) the kit inclusions list a Factory USB Retention Harness, but the feature retention table shows USB Input: No; and (2) the vehicle list in the specification includes the Ford Everest 2015-2022 (UA, UA MkII) in addition to the Ranger PX MkII, even though the description and features text only mention the Ranger with small 4.2" display. I've included the Everest in Vehicle Compatibility since it's listed, but flag if that's not intended for this kit.
Kenwood DMX80AXS 9" Digital Multimedia Receiver with Aerpro AKFO3 Installation Kit – Suits Ford Ranger PX MkII & Ford Everest
Product Information
Upgrade your Ford Ranger or Ford Everest infotainment system with the Kenwood DMX80AXS 9" Universal Digital Multimedia Receiver, paired with the Aerpro AKFO3 installation kit for a seamless, factory-look fitment. The DMX80AXS delivers a large, high-resolution floating touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving you full access to navigation, music streaming, and hands-free calling directly from the dashboard.
The Aerpro AKFO3 kit is purpose-built for Ford Ranger MkII (2015-2018) vehicles with the small 4.2" factory display, supplying the black fascia panel, steering wheel control interface harness, SWC patch lead, antenna adaptor, camera retention adaptor, and factory USB retention harness needed to install a 9" trapezoid-shaped head unit while retaining steering wheel control functionality (including the phone button), factory reverse camera (if equipped), and parking tones.
Together, the Kenwood DMX80AXS and Aerpro AKFO3 kit deliver a factory-integrated infotainment upgrade that combines modern connectivity with a clean, professional installation.
