Kenwood DMX-F920DS: The Ideal Floating Screen Upgrade for Shallow Dashboards

Kenwood DMX-F920DS: The Ideal Floating Screen Upgrade for Shallow Dashboards

Admin |

Upgrading your car stereo used to be about better sound. Now, it’s just as much about screen quality, flexibility, and connectivity. The Kenwood DMX-F920DS is designed for exactly that — a modern infotainment upgrade that fits where many large screens simply can’t.

If your vehicle has a shallow dashboard or limited space behind the dash, this unit is well worth a look.


Single-DIN Design, Big-Screen Experience

One of the standout features of the DMX-F920DS is its single-DIN shallow body. The main unit takes up very little space behind the dash, making it suitable for vehicles that struggle with deeper double-DIN systems.

Despite the compact chassis, you still get a large 9-inch HD floating touchscreen, giving you the look and feel of a factory-fitted modern system without major dashboard modifications.


Fully Adjustable, Rotatable Floating Screen

Unlike fixed displays, the DMX-F920DS screen is designed to be highly adjustable:

  • Height adjustment

  • Depth adjustment

  • Tilt adjustment

  • 360° screen rotation

This allows the screen to be positioned exactly where you want it — useful for avoiding vents, buttons, or improving driver visibility. The ability to rotate the screen also opens up alternative layouts for show cars, off-road vehicles, or custom installs.


HDMI Input: More Than Just CarPlay

While wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto cover most daily needs, the DMX-F920DS goes a step further with a dedicated HDMI input.

This allows connection of external devices such as:

  • Fire TV Stick

  • Chromecast

  • Game consoles

  • Media players

Perfect for demos, show cars, or specialist vehicles where video input is required. As always, video playback should only be used in line with local road laws.


Dual Camera & 360° Camera Support

The DMX-F920DS is well suited to modern camera setups. It supports dual camera inputs, allowing configurations such as:

  • Front + rear cameras

  • Rear camera + 360° camera systems

The large HD display makes reversing, manoeuvring, and parking far clearer than on factory systems or smaller aftermarket screens.


Built for Modern Driving

Alongside the screen-focused features, the DMX-F920DS includes everything you’d expect from a premium Kenwood unit:

  • Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto

  • Built-in DAB+ digital radio

  • Bluetooth hands-free calling & music streaming

  • High-quality audio processing and DSP

It’s a solid all-rounder that doesn’t sacrifice usability for screen size.


Installation & Compatibility

Thanks to its single-DIN design, the DMX-F920DS is compatible with a wide range of vehicles including BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Ford, Mercedes, and more.

Please note:

  • Vehicle-specific fitting kits, wiring harnesses, antenna adaptors, and interfaces are sold separately

  • Professional installation is recommended for best results

Final Thoughts

If you want a large, flexible touchscreen, HDMI capability, and camera support, but need something that works in a shallow dashboard, the Kenwood DMX-F920DS is a very strong option. It bridges the gap between everyday usability and advanced screen functionality — without forcing compromises on installation.
