Bluetooth V5.0 connection.
The ZDA8.8 is equipped with Bluetooth V5.0 for direct music streaming.
It can function as a standalone head unit or bypass your factory-installed system, providing superior sound quality while maintaining full OEM functionality.

Optimized for Plug-and-Play.
The ZDA8.8 is designed for easy integration.
Molex connectors:
Compatible with Phoenix Gold's ZDT and ZDC wiring harnesses for quick and easy installation without damaging or modifying the car's wiring.

Advanced features:
Includes Auto Turn-On, OEM Impedance Simulation (OIS), Start-Stop compatibility, and Input Priority for optimal performance and functionality.

OIS – OEM Impedance Simulation.
The ZDA8.8 is equipped with OEM Impedance Simulation (OIS), ensuring compatibility with modern head units and amplifiers.
By simulating speaker impedance, the functionality of the car's OEM head unit is preserved and potential problems with plug-and-play installations are prevented.

Input Priority for easy integration.
Input Priority lets you use low-level inputs or digital sources like Bluetooth, optical, or coaxial, without losing important system sounds like parking sensors and warnings.
If your vehicle has a high-pass filter that limits the bass output, this can be bypassed by streaming audio directly to the DSP via Bluetooth, while maintaining full OEM functionality.

With its focus on sound quality and flexibility, the ZDA8.8 is the perfect solution for both custom and factory integrated audio upgrades.
