Kenwood DDX9707S 6.95" Double DIN DVD Receiver

The Kenwood DDX9707S is a double-DIN multimedia receiver with a 6.95-inch WVGA touchscreen, built-in DVD/CD playback, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi connectivity, and AM/FM radio. It updates a factory radio with modern phone integration while retaining a physical disc source for drivers who still use CDs or DVDs. Wired and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide familiar access to compatible navigation, calling, messaging, and music functions.

This receiver suits drivers looking for a complete infotainment upgrade rather than a basic digital-media deck. It supports wireless Android mirroring on select devices and USB mirroring for iPhone and Android, giving compatible phones additional display options. Bluetooth supports hands-free calling and audio streaming, with Music Mix support for up to five paired devices and switching between two connected phones.

For audio playback, the DDX9707S supports high-resolution WAV and FLAC files up to 192 kHz/24-bit through USB. Its built-in amplifier is rated at 22 watts RMS by four channels at less than 1% THD, with 50 watts peak by four channels. A 13-band graphic EQ, digital time alignment, adjustable crossovers, and subwoofer-level control provide useful tuning tools for factory-speaker or amplified systems.

The receiver uses dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 to support its wireless connectivity functions. Its 6.95-inch TN LCD uses an 800 x 480 RGB display arrangement with LED backlighting, while the clear resistive touch panel is designed to reduce glare. Dual rear USB connections allow separate music and charging connections, with up to 1.5A charging for selected Android devices and 1.0A for iPhone.

The DDX9707S can serve as the control center for a broader vehicle upgrade. It provides three 4-volt preouts for external amplifiers, supports up to four camera inputs, and is compatible with the optional DRV-N520 dash camera through Dash Camera Link. With a compatible iDatalink Maestro RR interface and supported vehicle, it can display selected factory vehicle information, climate data, performance information, TPMS data, and retained factory camera functions.

Design & Installation

The DDX9707S is built around a 6.95-inch wide TN LCD with TFT active-matrix drive, LED backlighting, and 1,152,000 pixels. Its front panel uses a clear resistive touch interface, and the display has an RGB striped pixel arrangement. Variable-color button illumination can be adjusted to coordinate with compatible dashboard lighting.

The chassis measures 178 x 100 x 160 mm, the standard double-DIN radio opening size, and installs with the supplied sleeve or vehicle-specific mounting hardware where applicable. The package includes a wiring harness, trim ring, two USB extension cables, GPS antenna, Bluetooth microphone, mounting screws, and removal tools. Confirm vehicle fitment and obtain any vehicle-specific dash kit, wiring interface, steering-wheel-control adapter, antenna adapter, or iDatalink Maestro RR module needed for the intended installation.
