Kenwood DNX577S 6.8″ Navigation Receiver

Kenwood designed the DNX577S to work effortlessly with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. No matter what phone you (or your passengers) prefer, you can access the apps you need without getting distracted from the matter at hand — driving your vehicle. The DNX577S gives you fingertip or voice control of your apps, and its gorgeous 6.75″ resistive touchscreen display offers plenty of real estate to check out your sources and other important info — you can even customize the source button locations for easier access. Find out more at www.android.com/auto and www.apple.com/ios/carplay. And even if you’re not into using Android Auto to access streaming services, you can still get control of select music apps (like Pandora and Spotify) through the receiver via a wireless Bluetooth connection. Mirror your phone’s screen on your stereo If you’re not a fan of CarPlay or Android Auto, the DNX577S offers convenient screen mirroring for both iPhone and Android devices via wired USB connection. You’ll need to have the “Mirroring for Kenwood” app on your smartphone to take advantage of this feature. Once you’re up and running, you can see all the action from your phone right on the stereo’s display. With Android devices, you’ll also be able to control the phone via the stereo and vice-versa.

Onboard Navigation

Garmin Navigation: With built-in Garmin & HERE navigation software and map data, the Kenwood DNX577S features on-screen maps of the United States, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Canada, and Mexico. The built-in maps include over 6-million Points of Interest (POIs) such as hotels, restaurants, gas stations, attractions, parking, airports, ATMs, and more. The built-in navigation software provides you with calculated on-screen routes and audible directions to follow in order to reach your destination safely.

Note: While the receiver’s map database was judged to be as accurate as possible at the time of its release (2019), a map database can never be 100% accurate. Road information that is maintained in the map databases, such as turn restrictions or road names may change over time.

Map Updates with 3 Year Map Care: The Kenwood navigation receiver comes with a 3 Year Map Care plan which provides free Garmin map updates for the first 3 years (fees will apply after those 3 years). Garmin map updates are done via the Garmin Express Portal on your Windows or Mac computer and installed on the Kenwood receiver via microSD card (4-32GB).

• Windows Requirements:
  • Windows 7 SP1 or newer, Microsoft .NET 4.7.2 (included)
  • 1024 x 768 display, USB port and 1 GB RAM
  • High speed Internet access (Not for use with dial-up, mobile or satellite connections)
  • May require up to 20 GB free disk space
• Mac Requirements:
  • OS X 10.11 or newer
  • 1440 x 900 display, USB port and 1 GB RAM
  • High speed Internet access (Not for use with dial-up, mobile or satellite connections)
  • May require up to 20 GB free disk space

  Note: The microSD card must remain installed in the navigation receiver in order for the new map data to be accessible; it is not copied over to the receiver’s internal memory. This means that if you want to update the maps, you effectively lose the use of the microSD card slot as a media playback option.

GPS Receiver & Antenna: The Kenwood DNX577S employs a high-sensitivity GPS receiver that is forgiving of less than optimal antenna placement, giving you additional placement options. The included GPS antenna features a self-adhesive base and an attached 11.5′ cable which plugs into the back of the head unit. The GPS antenna is designed to be mounted inside the vehicle on the dash. The GPS antenna measures 1.3125″ (w) x 0.625″ (h) x 1.4375″ (d). The self-adhesive pad measures 2.625″ square.

• Acquisition Time: 29 seconds (cold)
• Update Rate: 1/second, continuous
• Accuracy: <2.5 meters continuous (Position), 0.1 meter/sec (Velocity)
