About The Product
Easily Adjustable Tilt and Swivel
The newly designed tilt and swivel mechanism lets you manually adjust the oversized high-definition display’s viewing angles. The display joint’s screw-less structure offers a range of ±15 degrees both horizontally and vertically, with no tools required—even after installation.
High-Definition Capacitive Touchscreen
A large floating 25.7 cm (10.1-inch) capacitive touchscreen with 1280 x 720-pixel high resolution provides crisp detail, higher brightness, and superior contrast, delivering an exceptional in-car visual experience.
Connected to Your Car
iDatalink® Maestro® compatibility connects the XAV-AX8500 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 your vehicle’s infotainment and information systems—covering performance, safety, and comfort—directly on the 10.1-inch touchscreen.
Customizable Viewing Angle for Every Journey
The display joint allows manual tilt and swivel adjustment—both at ±15 degrees—to suit your preferred seating position. This flexibility helps reduce glare from direct sunlight and makes it easy to share navigation or entertainment with passengers.
Single-DIN Chassis for Flexible Installation
Despite its large screen, the XAV-AX8500’s main unit is designed with a single-DIN chassis, allowing easy installation in both single and double-DIN dashboards. This design also leaves ample room for cables and harnesses when installed in double-DIN vehicles.
