Product details
Floating 10.1-inch HD display
The DAX1050XR pairs a 10.1-inch HD (1280 x 720) capacitive touchscreen with optical bonding and about 170-degree viewing with a separate 1-DIN chassis that can sit horizontally or vertically. Monitor dimensions are 262 x 181 x 52 mm (10-5/16 x 7-1/8 x 2-1/16 in); the chassis is 178 x 50 x 105 mm (7 x 2 x 4-1/8 in). Combined weight is about 2.1 kg (4.5 lb).
Wireless phone apps and Hi-Res audio
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work wirelessly over dual-band Wi-Fi or over USB. Bluetooth 5.2 supports SBC, AAC and LDAC. The USB Type-C port charges at up to 3.0 A. HDMI Type-D input is available with the optional KCA-HD200 cable. Built-in HD Radio covers AM and FM, and the receiver is SiriusXM Ready and SiriusXM 360L Ready.
Direct Replacement system expansion
Four camera inputs accept HD front and rear cameras such as the CMOS-740HD. Three 5-volt preouts and an optical digital output (48/96 kHz, 24-bit) feed amplifiers or a processor. A 13-band graphic EQ, 14-point parametric EQ and digital time alignment tune the system. As a Direct Replacement unit it works with iDatalink Maestro RR/RR2 and vehicle-specific Maestro harnesses, sold separately – no general-purpose power/signal harness is included.
