Bluetooth technology uses an all-digital connection to offer better sound quality and more range than other wireless options, making it the perfect choice for hands-free conversations in the car. Simply mount the interface box out of the way, connect it to the CD changer input on your compatible Kenwood stereo, clip the included mic onto your sun visor, and you're ready to go! You'll be able to send and receive calls with using your Kenwood CD player or video unit, and even download your phonebook listings into the unit for easy one-touch dialing.

The KCA-BT100 can handle up to five different phones, so even the most talkative people are covered! The KCA-BT100 also offers a pass-through port so you won't have to give up your CD changer or iPod connector options, even with the Bluetooth system connected.

Like I said; this is a excellent product, sounds good and the blue tooth is great, I will recommend this to my friends. It is a little confusing at first but with a little reading on the manual everything is easy and smooth, GREAT DEAL FOR THE MONEY.
