FULLERTON, CA (07.18.25) – Team Progressive hosted a KENWOOD Direct Replacement Training session on Thursday evening, July 10th, for the DAX8000S at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Fullerton CA.

The DAX8000S is designed to mount directly into factory dash openings. The receiver eliminates the need for expensive dash kits or custom modification. A T-Harness type solution made possible by iDatalink Maestro APX installation is faster, cleaner, and preserves factory features. The DAX800XR and DAX1050XR models are Premium Reference models with audiophile-focused upgrades.

Marcus Vasconcellos was upfront for the presentation with nearly 50 attendees very engaged and enjoying dinner. Members of the audience were very engaged and wanted to know more about the new direct replacement product. Specific questions asked included the mechanics of the actual interface.


Rodney Shoemaker was on site for Team Progressive and related that all the attendees were upbeat and looking to knowing more about this new Direct Replacement product to drive sales in their stores.

“Since the introduction of this amazing OEM solutions we are getting calls from dealers wanting to know more and place orders for their stores. Having in-person trainings like this are so important, especially with a skilled presenter like Marcus that attendees engage and connect with during the presentation” Shoemaker stated.
