That eXcelon Edge

(PESWIAKJC) and goes from a multi-wire to a single wire install. There is no external IR flasher to install and the adapter already has Kenwood codes on-board so the programming goes much faster. The OEM Steer- ing wheel interface can even be used with our KCA-RC50MR in marine installations where multiple marine remotes (up to 6) can be wired to the remote control input. So whether you’re fishing on the bow or steering her back to port, you can control the radio.

That eXcelon Edge

The KDC-X991 may be a mighty titan; however, the KDC-X792, KDC- X692, KDC-X592, and KDC-X492 sport eXcelon exclusive features like special audio-grade capacitors on the power supply that provide stable current and reduce unwanted engine noise. All eXcelon receivers use 24-bit D-to-A converters, high pass (8 point) crossovers for front and rear, and 5 low pass filters for the rear. In addition, all eXcelon head units have a high gloss black finish and the KDC-X592 and higher offer either 3 or 4-line displays.

Don’t forget that all eXcelon CD receivers play AAC, MP3, WMA files, have high-voltage pre-outs, USB Direct Control, 1 Wire Direct iPod Con- nection, aux inputs, System QEX/E’s+, and are satellite, Bluetooth and HD Radio Ready.

GMA offers five displays: G-Graphic shows lateral (sideways) movement of your car while you’re taking corners. G-Meter displays a numeric readout of G-forces while you’re accelerating. Turning G-Coun- ter shows G-forces for acceleration over a 1-hour time period and will display average past, which, by the way, is a great way to monitor the use of your car when someone borrows it. GMA’s built-in motion-activated stopwatch can be started and stopped when a key is pressed or when your car experiences forward G-forces and, horsepower function mea- sures and records the max horsepower of your car.

The KDC-X792 has a few tricks up its sleeve, like a high-resolution (64-color full dot) customizable display. This unit also includes RDS technology and Kenwood’s exclusive Graphic Motion Analyzer.

High Voltage Pre-outs

Make Bag Pipes Sound Good

The 5-Volt and 4-Volt pre-outs on 2008 eXcelon receivers offer a larger signal to the amplifiers. The larger signal means that the amplifier gains don’t need to be turned up as high so music is more dynamic with a lower noise floor and much cleaner, clearer sound. Take the time to explain this to a customer and it’ll be simple to step them up to a Kenwood eXcelon in-dash receiver.

RDS (Radio Data System)

A feature on the KDC-X991 and KDC-X792, RDS allows small amounts of digital information to be carried over conventional FM radio broadcasts. This technology is widely used by the

radio stations, and the benefit of radio with RDS is that it can transmit things like track/artist info on screen.

The KDC-X692’s 4-tone full dot display makes it easy to browse a song list, search for a phone number, or read a short text message.

Graphic Motion Analyzer

GMA is featured on the KDC-X991 and KDC-X792 and lets drivers see the performance of their vehicle on the receiver display. (GMA allows some performance feedback to be displayed on the screen instead of standard full motion graphics, but no, it’s not a video game.)

KDC-X592 includes the features of the KDC-X692 but uses a 3-line full-dot display. This unit also includes blue illumination effect that can enhance operation and make the dullest of dashboards look snazzy.
