Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Kenwood designed the KDC-MP245 CD receiver as a no-nonsense solution for upgrading the sound in your vehicle. Its potent built-in amplifier fills your car with powerful reproduction of your favourite discs. And you can keep the party going all day by loading in a disc full of MP3 and WMA files, or by connecting your MP3 player to the front-panel auxiliary input.

The receiver's premium digital-to-analog converter offers outstanding sound quality, rendering your discs and digital files with warm, lifelike tones. Kenwood's System Q 3-band equalizer and improved bass boost let you dial in just the right sound for your vehicle, while the Supreme Setting features adds some high-frequency sizzle to tired-sounding music files. Two sets of preamp outputs simplify the job of adding amps or a powered sub for some extra kick in your sound.

I love it ! September-06-11
Reviewer: Scott from Charleston, S.C.  
I bought this for my wife when the factory radio died. What a great up grade!  The sound with factory speakers is a lot better. The install with the wiring kit was one of the easiest I've ever done. The controls take a bit of getting used to. It's just different from mine. I have it dialed in where we both like the sound, and the bass. What a great buy! I love it! :)


 
Nice, but........... September-05-11
Reviewer: Cebertxela from Asheville, NC  
I like the stereo, but the controls are WAY TOO COMPLICATED.  Not that they're  hard to understand, but when driving it is too much to keep up with.  I find that  when I change stations or CD setting, suddenly the radio is changing the balance  or bass or whatever.  I almost crashed trying to get back to the CD track advance.  I  had to pull over to work the radio.  That is too complicated.  And you can't just exit  the menu, you have to "back up" three or four times to get back to the volume  control. I am getting a new stereo for my truck, but not this one.


 
Great value September-03-11
Reviewer: Eric from Elizabeth City, NC  
Great radio for the price. This deck has plenty of power for a basic system. If  you need more, it has two RCA outputs for multiple amps. Really like the AUX  input. Makes connecting my MP3 player simple and I can stream Pandora  through my phone. Bye Bye Sirius. Alot of features for a low price. Hard to beat  this Kenwood unit.


 
Very good...and cheap too! August-31-11
Reviewer: Ole Geezer from Central East Florida  
My OEM radio's CD player gave out on me and I needed a new one. I choose  this Kenwood because it was suggested by Crutchfield and an easy  replacement. It puts out nice and loud. I used it with the OEM Chrysler Infinity  Amp/speakers and it rocks, (one must get the harness though). What I don't  like is that the clock only displays when the ignition is on. Also, without the  manual no one can easily figure out how to work the controls. Very Spartan but  it is as loud as the OEM radio, (which I really liked), and it comes with an iPod  input for extra features. For the price, this is a very good radio/cd replacement  combo.

Reviewer: CAH Senior from Winston, Or
