Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Kenwood's KDC-MP345U CD receiver gives you iPod® control through its USB input, but that's just the beginning of the story for this solid performer.

Easy to use with your iPod
You'll feel totally at home when you plug in your iPod. Connect it to the front panel USB input, then take control with the Multi Control Wheel to navigate your tracks and playlists. You can search for a song alphabetically, or by jumping through your playlists in 10% increments. Kenwood includes dedicated "Search" and "Return" keys that eliminate the need to work through menus when you're making a quick search. Your passengers can also use the iPod's controls to access songs, or they can take advantage of the full-featured remote control that Kenwood includes with this receiver.

Musical and expansion options
The KDC-MP345U plays CDs you've loaded with MP3 and WMA files, and features a handy front-panel auxiliary input you can use for other music sources. Kenwood's robust internal amplifier, flexible 3-band equalizer, and bass boost ensure you'll like the sound. Two sets of preamp outputs let you add outboard amplifiers, and you can activate a low-pass filter and sub level control for fingertip command over your bass.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Kenwood May-17-11
Reviewer: JohnP from AK  
It was a good upgrade from my factory setup


 
Perfect May-16-11
Reviewer: Dan from York, PA  
Exactly what I wanted and easy to install in my '99 Oldsmobile Alero. Love the iPod
support and choice to use either the head unit or iPod itself for control. Can't beat it
for the price!

Reviewer: Layabout from San Jose, CA  
Good sound, easy installation in a 2001 Subaru, but the bezel can not be used &
trimming it won't work because both sides would have to be shaved down to paper
width. Also, the receiver allows only some iPods to retain tuning control, which
leaves you with tuning through the stereo---a slower & more cumbersome technique.

Kenwood is timeless!! May-16-11
Reviewer: Brian N. from Katy, TX  
What can I say, Kenwood was great back when I was in High School. I installed
this Kenwood for my daughter, who is in highschool, and the experience has'nt
changed a bit. STILL AWSOME!! Hope the same quality is there so I can install
my grandkids stereo one day.
