Expert Verdict (2026) - Why Buy?
"The Kenwood Excelon DMX709S is the entry point into Kenwood’s elite Excelon series, and at Lockdown Security, we consider it the best 'Value-to-Performance' ratio for 2026 audio builds. This unit is specifically engineered for the driver who wants professional-grade sound without the flagship price tag. It features a crisp 6.75-inch capacitive touchscreen that provides a fluid, smartphone-like response for both Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. What truly defines the DMX709S as an Excelon product are the 4V high-voltage pre-outs, which deliver a cleaner, stronger signal to your amplifiers compared to standard non-Excelon models. With its short-chassis design for easy installation and full iDatalink Maestro support to retain your factory steering wheel controls and vehicle data, the DMX709S is the perfect foundation for a high-fidelity 'Connected Car' system."
Designed for drivers who want a clean factory-style fit with modern connectivity, the Kenwood Excelon DMX709S features a bright 6.8" touchscreen, wired Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, HDMI input support, Maestro compatibility, HD Radio, and high-performance 5-volt RCA pre-outs for better sound system expansion.

Quick Response
Had good experience a few years ago with parking sensor installs (front and rear) for 2 cars. Just got 2 dashcams installed. Duane gave quick responses online with a very reasonable price. Both cars, front and rear cams installed professionally and looks seamless (tech was very informative). Leo and Titus - front desk - took care of things efficiently, answered all my questions in a friendly manner. Got my cars back in the time specified. Very good selection, service, installation.

Extremely Professional
Everyone at Lockdown was extremely professional, knowledgeable and pleasant. They also had the additional hardware I needed rather than ordering it separately beforehand. Leonardo was very patient answering my questions and going through how to set up and use my new Dashcam. Sal was great going over the installation process and asking me questions how I wanted it installed. I would highly recommend their services.

Awesome Experience
Just installed the thinkware q200 dashcam today with awesome experience. Booking the appointment is easy and service is excellent. After the installation, staff also walked me through the set up and everything is done within 2 hours. The cost is same as the website shows and no other hidden cost. Highly recommended. 👍
