VW Transporter T6 Kenwood Floating Head Unit Stereo Install - DMX9720XDS

A quick overview of how easy it is to install the Kenwood DMX9720XDS 10.1 inch floating headunit in a Volkswagen T6 Transporter. We will also cover the T6.1 in a future video coming soon.
A lot of this install is the same for installing the Kenwood DMX8021DABS 7" build in stereo unit.
We're super impressed with the Kenwood DMX range . Kenwood themselves have worked really closely with VW on these units. In fact a lot of OEM VW stereos have now been discontinued, so VW will only offer these Kenwood units as an alternative if your standard VW stereo goes faulty.
Both the above mentioned stereos have all the tech you would expect of a high end head unit including wired and wireless CarPlay, rear camera inputs, bluetooth connectivity, high speed USB 2 port and lots more. The kit we sell comes complete with the interface to retain genuine VW functions including steering wheel controls etc.
I hope you've enjoyed this video. Please do hit that like button, it means a lot.
As always, thanks for watching!

Please get some lighting on inside the van… hard to see what is going on…

[@THQAutomotive]

Noted, we'll try for the future.

[@kenny190567]

Had this unit for a couple of years now in my T6 cracking bit of kit

[@THQAutomotive]

Yes, its really impressive isn't it :)

[@comfortablynumb8832]

Is there a big difference to sound quality?

[@NeilSivins]

Hi - can you let me have a link for the fakro to Dab cable - very confused with male or female connectors l

[@iamaaronlong]

Does the small screen inbetween the speedo and rev meter on the dash still work as usual?

[@AutoWAG]

Amazing l want for my van to t6

[@THQAutomotive]

I don't blame you :)

[@glenmoore]

Do you have a cost please for this Kenwood fitted into my T6 Highline 4m with reverse cam and steering wheel controls. Thanks

[@THQAutomotive]

Hello, we don't do customer installs sorry. We focus on product development and distribution only

[@AndyKilpatrick-q8p]

Any update on the T6.1 video yet?

[@ChrisHancock-h8y]

I know its advertised for a T6 but could this be fitted in a T5.1?

[@THQAutomotive]

Yes with a different wiring loom. We have them on stock.

[@justinchurcher416]

Does this integrate with the mfd to show turn by turn instructions as it does with the factory unit?
Thanks

[@THQAutomotive]

Yes it will do if the van had navigation unit before.

[@Steven_Newcombe]

Do you need anything keep the usb interface working?

[@THQAutomotive]

On the T6, the USB isn't retainable. It would be USB lead into the glove box. We have actually previously modified the built in USB to work but there is no actual retention lead.

[@Gol_D.r31]

can you access the vw settings on the kennwood?

[@THQAutomotive]

On a T6? what setting do you mean? On a T6.1 yes you can. It has all the factory menus.

[@richardcoleman114]

Please tell me this available for the T5

[@THQAutomotive]

Yes it's double din so you can fit them in a T5. You just need a different loom

[@predatorarmyfishing5901]

Did it works with vw camera, radars and vw Bluetooth (for the mic integrated)

[@THQAutomotive]

VW Camera yes but you will need a patch lead. We can supply this. Radar yes. Bluetooth if uses its only mic but you can not dial out using the steering wheel.

[@grantplayford7442]

Looking forward to the t6.1 video,

[@THQAutomotive]

They work so well in the T6.1. Kenwood have had to get all the SOS integration etc for VW to approve it. We'll get it installed and video live soon

[@johnwhitehill3373]

Sounds good. Will keep a lookout for that. Looks superb.

[@MANFLUGMAIL]

[@THQAutomotive]

Yes it will, you just need a different wiring loom which we have it stock.
