Product Information
Upgrade your Hyundai Tucson 2017-2018 with the Kenwood DMX80AXS, a 9" digital multimedia receiver that transforms your dashboard with a large, high-resolution capacitive touchscreen and modern smartphone connectivity. Featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, this receiver keeps you connected on the road without the hassle of cables, while its sleek floating-panel design brings a premium, aftermarket touch to your factory dash.
Paired with the Aerpro AKHY12 installation kit, this bundle has been specifically engineered to suit Hyundai Tucson 2017-2018 models fitted with factory navigation. The AKHY12 provides a seamless, factory-look installation with a silver fascia panel, while retaining critical vehicle functions such as steering wheel control operation (including the phone button) and factory reverse camera input where fitted. This kit supports trapezoid-shaped radios and requires an Aerpro APP8 secondary ISO harness (sold separately) to complete the ISO connection.
Together, the Kenwood DMX80AXS and Aerpro AKHY12 deliver a complete, plug-and-play upgrade solution that combines cutting-edge multimedia technology with a factory-integrated fit for your Hyundai Tucson.
