Big screen, big fun

If you're fed up with squinting at a tiny display to discover song titles or see who's calling you, you'll appreciate Axxera's AV6118Bi touchscreen receiver. The bright 6.2" display lets you control all your media, including streaming wireless audio and hands-free calling using Bluetooth®. You'll enjoy cool new entertainment options without breaking the bank, too.

Bluetooth® for calls and music

This Axxera lets your stream music from any Bluetooth-equipped device that's paired to the receiver, including music stored on the phone and from Internet radio stations like Pandora® and Spotify®. Hands-free calling cuts down on distractions — a big plus for safety. Axxera also built in a sensitive Bluetooth microphone into the receiver's faceplate for a simpler installation.

Ready for your music?

When it's time to enjoy your own music, you can slide in just about any disc, even a recordable CD or DVD loaded with MP3 files. The USB port, micro-SD card slot, and two auxiliary inputs offer other options for checking out all your media. The 6.2" screen works as a great display for system and song info, and you can also view movies and video on it when your car is parked. If you want to share the fun, you can install a rear video screen and play movies on the go to keep your backseat crew happy. They can even control DVD playback using the included wireless remote control.

Enhancing your music

The AV6118Bi includes a 7-band equalizer with seven EQ presets for refining your sound. If you want to add some impact, a full set of preamp outputs makes it easier to connect amplifiers for your speakers and a subwoofer.

You'll need a wired connection to your parking brake to access settings and other features on this receiver. Your parking brake must be connected and set in order to view video on its screen.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

iPod/smartphone note: If you're going to use your iPod or smartphone with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for compatibility information.

    6.2" LCD Touchscreen: The Axxera AV6118Bi features a 6.2" LCD touchscreen monitor (800x480) with LED backlighting. This unit's touchscreen controls with interactive video graphics make menu navigation simple and intuitive. You can adjust the screen's brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, and sharpness level; as well as select from three different wallpapers/backgrounds.

    Note: For safety reasons, you cannot view a video source on the built-in monitor as long as the vehicle is in motion. In order to display video, the pink wire of the included harness must be hardwired into the vehicle's parking brake light circuit, and the vehicle's parking brake must be engaged.

    Hard-Key Controls: In addition to the 6.2" LCD touchscreen, the unit also has push-button controls and a 3-way rotary dial on the front-panel along the left edge of the screen.

    Remote Control: The Axxera AV6118Bi comes with an IR remote and supports many vehicle's steering wheel controls (adapter required).

    Hi Vinny, thank you for your question! You will have wiring to complete in order to install a stereo into your vehicle. We do carry a wide variety of vehicle specific harnesses that will prevent you from having to cut or splice into your factory wiring, however.

    Hi Jackson, thanks for your question. Unfortunately, the Axxera AV6118Bi, does not have any Android features built-in. You can use the iPlug app with your Android phone that will allow you to use your phone as a wireless remote, however, the unit's USB port is not compatible with Android smartphones or tablets. This receiver does offer Bluetooth, and supports HFP (Hands Free Profile), A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile). For wireless music streaming you can control basic music playback functions, such as Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track, from the AV6118Bi's touchscreen. This unit will also display song/artist information on its touchscreen monitor. Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some mobile devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the AV6118Bi. Chat with an Advisor online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695. They will be happy to help you find a receiver that may be more suitable to your needs.

    I have this unit installed in a trailer. It recently failed (has power but display won't light up). I'd like to replace it, but would like to upgrade if possible. Is there a unit that will directly interchange that's considered a higher quality?
    tim  Jun 10, 2019
    1 answer
    A
    Hi Tim! Thanks for your question. Unfortunately with a stereo replacement, you're probably going to have to do some re-wiring. I wish we could get away with that not being the case, but due to pin configurations on the stereo, and going to a different manufacturer, that likely won't be a possibility. For a nice little upgrade from the Axxera I recommend checking out the JVC KW-V250BT. DVD, Bluetooth, and USB charging are at the top of the features list. Feel free to reach out to one of our Advisors, Tim! We'll be happy to help you find what will work best for you! You can chat with us online, or by phone at 1-800-324-9695.

    A
    This unit has a 6 channel preamp outputs. The power of your amp/amps is not relevant. They need to have preamp level inputs. The question is whether you and you cars electrical system can handle it. This would clearly be only your subwoofer amp and you surely need another amp for you speakers. Minimum 0 ga for just his amp. Most likely you will need a cap.
