You can always count on Kenwood car stereos to offer strong performance and useful features at the right price. Their KDC-MP348U CD receiver offers you a big sonic step up over your factory radio, along with speedy iPod functionality and the ability to expand your system.

Ready to go with your iPod®
Just press the "iPod" button to the right of the main control knob to dive into your player. You'll feel totally at home when you navigate your tracks and playlists — you can search for a song alphabetically, or by jumping through your playlists in 10% increments. The dedicated "Search" and "Return" keys eliminate the need to work through menus when you're making a quick search. You can also switch quickly to "passenger mode" to control your iPod or iPhone® from the device — useful if you're listening to streaming content like Internet radio stations.

Plenty of options
You can plug a game console or satellite radio into the handy front-panel auxiliary input. If you'd like to expand your system, you can add a Kenwood HD Radio™ tuner or satellite radio to experience the best in radio. Protect yourself and your loved ones, and add Kenwood's Bluetooth adapter for the added safety of hands-free calling with compatible phones.

Sound quality to rock your ride
This Kenwood's built-in MOSFET amp will surprise you with its clean power, so turn it up if you want. You can use the 3-band equalizer to tweak the highs, mids, and lows, while seven EQ presets allow quick shifts to a tone curve that matches your music. The Speaker Settings function tailors the output of the receiver to match the size and type of speakers you've got installed in your vehicle.

If you're ultimately planning to build a complete system, you'll appreciate the three sets of preamp outputs for connecting and controlling a full setup of external amps and subs. The System E's crossover offers high- and low-pass filters that you can adjust for optimal sound from your system.

Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Kenwood stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and this Kenwood, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver.
