ESX VMX900DAB

The ESX VMX900DAB is a universal 1-DIN media receiver with a large 22.8 cm (9-inch) touchscreen display. Thanks to its modular design, the unit is particularly well-suited for vehicles that only have a standard 1-DIN radio slot but where a modern, large screen is desired.

The clip-on screen combines touchscreen controls with a large mechanical volume control and four additional function buttons. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available for smartphone integration, both wirelessly and via USB. A built-in GPS receiver supports improved location tracking for navigation apps on the connected smartphone.

In addition to DAB digital radio, traditional FM/AM radio, and Bluetooth audio streaming, the VMX900DAB features a built-in media player for music, videos, and photos. Two camera inputs allow you to connect a front-view and a rear-view camera. A total of six 4-volt RCA preamp outputs, including two subwoofer outputs, are available for connecting external power amplifiers.
