Product Information
Upgrade your Volkswagen EOS (2007–2014), Golf MK6 (2009–2013), Passat (2006–2015), Polo (2010–2014), Scirocco (2009–2014), or Tiguan (2008–2014) fitted with a factory Blaupunkt amplifier with the Kenwood DMX80AXS 9″ Digital Multimedia Receiver, paired with the Aerpro AKVW13 vehicle-specific installation kit designed for extensive factory feature retention alongside a modern touchscreen upgrade. This complete infotainment package replaces the factory system with a fast, connected, high-resolution display, while preserving steering wheel controls, vehicle climate control, parking visualisation, and the factory amplified system for a seamless, factory-style result.
The Kenwood DMX80AXS features a 9-inch WSVGA capacitive touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, giving drivers instant access to navigation, calls, messaging, and entertainment. Combined with the Aerpro AKVW13 kit, the unit integrates cleanly into the Volkswagen dashboard using a dedicated Infolink steering wheel control interface harness, keeping essential vehicle functions — including climate control, parking visualisation, and the Blaupunkt amplified audio system — fully intact.
This package suits Volkswagen owners with a factory Blaupunkt amplifier who are looking for a modern multimedia upgrade with maximum factory feature retention.
