With iDatalink® Maestro® compatibility you can control your car’s originally-equipped infotainment, while the updated rear-view camera connectivity features automated switching for safer driving.

Thanks to a Wi-Fi® connection to your smartphone, together with the supplied GPS antenna, you can use voice control to navigate, communicate and play music on the road even with your device in your pocket.^1,2,3

Our first double-DIN Mobile ES™ media receiver features a new 6.75 inch (17.1 cm) capacitive touchscreen with 1280 x 720-pixel high-resolution. It offers crisp detail, higher brightness and contrast for a superior in-car experience.

Experience the same caliber of sound usually reserved for high-end home audio products, thanks to the ESS DAC chip – a premium converter that provides optimum quality, from all your digital music files. With high-performance 32-bit processing and eliminated timing jitter, this D/A converter delivers an unprecedented dynamic range and low harmonic distortion.

Carefully selected components ensure superb sound quality. The dedicated choke coil features powerful bass while filtering unwanted frequencies, for controlled and dynamic audio reproduction. Audiophile-grade capacitors deliver effortless power for clear and tight bass, while multi-layer polymer capacitors help ensure low overall harmonic distortion and natural sound character.

Giving unmatched audio quality to the built-in amplifier, a dedicated power circuit is designed for each of the left and right channels, while an overall amplifier block includes updated circuit configurations, patterns, and choices of components, minimizing interference. Furthermore, the volume control circuit utilizes a select audio IC with less distortion and noise. The results are smooth highs, tight bass, wide dynamic range, and a more accurate soundstage.

The dual-layer design of the chassis separates analogue and digital circuitry, preventing electromagnetic interference for uncompromized sound quality.

Enjoy the convenience of Bluetooth® wireless audio and exceptional sound quality, thanks to LDAC. Connect compatible devices to stream audio at 96 kHz / 24-bit sampling with data transmission rates up to 3x higher (990 kbps) than conventional Bluetooth.³

The 192 kHz / 24‑bit DSP offers pristine sound processing and time alignment, 14-band equalizer, and 8-band parametric equalizer. Together with the updated 3-zone crossover, which enables bi-amp front 2-way speaker drive settings, you can dial in the perfect combination of front, rear and subwoofers.

You can adjust the stereo balance by correcting the arrival time of the sound according to where you sit in the vehicle. Adjust the distance from each speaker to the listening position on-screen in remarkable 0.1 inch or 1 cm increments to realize an ideal soundstage.

A 14-band EQ lets you adjust the overall sound to your music or taste, allowing you to manually cut and boost 14 different frequencies for all the speaker and subwoofer outputs at the same time.

To optimize performance across different speaker configurations, you can use 8-band parametric EQ for each of the 6 channels independently, by cutting and boosting 8 custom frequencies for each speaker and subwoofer output. You can also adjust the Q-factor (adjustment width) for each of the 8 select frequencies.

Designed for front component speaker configurations, this setting lets you apply independent crossover, PEQ and even time-alignment settings to individual drivers in bi-amp front speakers. Now you can customize sound for each component speaker using the same detailed control normally reserved for front and rear speaker groups.

iDatalink® Maestro® compatibility connects the XAV-9000ES to your vehicle’s onboard computer, turning it into a customized display for factory-equipped functions and features. With an iDatalink® Maestro® RR by Automotive Data Solutions you can interface with vehicle infotainment and information – for performance, safety and comfort – directly on the 6.75 inch touchscreen.⁶

You can see the images of up to three connected cameras when you shift the vehicle’s transmission lever to the reverse position or tap the dedicated icons on the home screen. By utilizing the supplied trigger wires, each camera image can be switched on and off, or from one to another automatically by detecting the vehicle’s turn signals or sensing compatible signals such as that for a connected front camera. An adjustable parking guide is also available for reverse gear.
