Using Bluetooth to play music:

Connecting your device: Start by making sure that your phone or tablet is connected to the Kenwood DNX531VBT. Go into Bluetooth settings and check for any available devices. Select the DNX531VBT and follow the pairing instructions.

Choose audio source: Now find the Bluetooth audio source on your Kenwood unit. This is usually in either the source or input selection menu. Then you want to set it to Bluetooth audio.

Play music: Now that everything is paired, you can play music from your phone or tablet and hear it through your car's speakers.

Screen Mirroring:

In normal use, screen mirroring allows you to display what you see on your phone or tablet onto a different screen like a TV or computer monitor. Here's how you get this feature on the Kenwood unit:

Connect a device: Make sure that both your smartphone and tablet supports screen mirroring. You'll have to use technology like Miracast, Chromecast, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, etc.

Pick a mirroring source: Look through the Kenwood DNX531VBT menu until you find their screen mirroring option. They don't all look alike so it depends on their user interface.

Follow instructions based on device: Every single device will give direct steps for connecting with a Kenwood unit so just follow them
