About the Kenwood KMM-BT232U
Smartphone-centric
Smartphone-centric
If you'd prefer not to tote CDs on the road with you, Kenwood's KMM-BT232U digital media receiver lets you bring your smartphone into the fold with the latest Bluetooth® connectivity. You'll enjoy easy access to hands-free calling and audio streaming, thanks to the two biggest buttons on the stereo — one for calls and one for music. You can even grab a charge on the go from this receiver's front-panel USB input. And with Kenwood's Remote App on your smartphone, you can tweak your Kenwood's sound settings from your phone whenever you feel like it.
Plenty of sources
With a wired or wireless Bluetooth connection to your compatible phone, the KMM-BT232U lets you play music directly from your favorite music apps. This Kenwood can also play MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, and even high-res FLAC music files right from a USB drive, so you can access your entire music library on your commute. And a front-panel aux input expands your source options too.
Everybody plays
For the family ride, Kenwood lets you pair two Bluetooth-equipped phones and quickly switch between them for hands-free calling. And when you're streaming audio, Kenwood's Music Mix feature lets you pair five phones so everybody can pick their tunes for the ultimate road trip party.

Stream your favorite music apps wirelessly using Bluetooth.
Tune up
Kenwood sound reconstruction restores the depth that's often missing from compressed music files, and digital time alignment ensures that all that sound reaches your ears at the same time. A 13-band EQ lets you get the sound you like, and with Kenwood's free Remote app, you can tune it from your phone.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.
