It’s Lava Lamp Kind of Cool

Kenwood models with 3-line full dot display (KDC- BT838U and KDC-MP538U) include an interactive illumination that gives the radio a smooth, relaxing blue glow. (This feature is actually on all radios from the 5 series up; however, the 5 and 8 series have

more illumination.) It not only looks cool in dash and on the sales floor, it enhances user operation by illuminating each time you turn the volume, track forward or backward, etc. If lighting isn’t your customer’s thing, you can adjust the setting in the standby mode menu. Blue illumination is also offered on the KDC-MP438U and KDC-X492 surrounding the front USB and aux input ports (a handy feature while driving at night).

Interactive Lighting

The lights surrounding the knobs flash when operating. Just the knob being used flashes.

Found on models 5 series and higher (except KDC-X991)

These lights can be turned off

Previous Flip Models

Previous models had two motions for opening the panel.

2008 Flip Models

This year’s flip models have only one motion for the opening panel.

New Mechanism to Flip Over

Kenwood and eXcelon 2008 models with flip down removable faceplates are redesigned for quick and easy removal. Our pre- vious models had two motions for opening the panel; 2008 units only have only one motion. It’s quieter and smoother too!

The lights surrounding the knobs flash (5 seconds) when in modes or operating. Just the knob being used flashes.

All Kenwood and eXcelon in-dash CD re- ceivers include either front aux or back aux inputs. Rear Aux inputs are for customers who prefer a cleaner look and would rather

tuck their media devices in the glove box than connect it directly to the front of the receiver. Customers love the aux input feature because it offers so much flexibility when connecting auxiliary audio devices like iPods, MP3 players, video game systems, rear-seat video systems, and more.

The Dr. Phil of Aux Inputs

Our Aux connections are sensitive and can change the volume or input level according to the device being plugged into the radio. The output levels of most portable devices connected to the aux terminal are low because they are adjusted for headphones. In order to re-adjust this, we added an input sensitivity adjustment function. This allows the input to be gained up or down to match other sources. How’s that working for ya?

Multi-Control Wheel

All eXcelon receivers and Kenwood receivers from the

KDC-MP438U utilize an easy to operate multi-control

knob. On the KDC-X492 and KDC-MP438U, it’s com- bined with the volume control. On receivers above these models, it functions as a separate knob. Search by turning the

knob/jog, then push in the knob. It’s very easy and intuitive!

Eyes on the Road, Hands on the Wheel

All 2008 Kenwood models KDC-MP438U and up (and all eXcelon units) include a hard-wired IR input that makes it easy to interface with your customer’s existing steering wheel control. The input interfaces with the PAC (SWI-JAK) and Peripheral steering wheel control adapters
