Front USB for More Music

USB Connections aren't just for computers anymore. It is becoming more common to see a USB interface on many of the new car stereos because of the options that the port allows. Consider this Kenwood KDC-248U, which has a front USB port and a front auxiliary port. Connecting an iPod, iPhone, or other USB based media device has never been simpler. Just plug the iPod in with the iPod cable and you will be able to charge, control, and listen to your iPod in your car. By using the USB port for the iPod instead of the auxiliary input, you will be able to achieve better sound processing and a higher sound quality.

The Kenwood KDC-248U also features a fluorescent display that can be read at day or night. the interface is basic and easy to use. A 3-Band equalizer with 8 selectable tone curves let you tune your system to the exact sound that you want. It also includes a bass boost and low-pass filter to enhance the sound quality of a subwoofer.

I love this radio, its great love the red color and how easy it is to use the only down side is that it only has 1 pair of rca output but thats for my next radio.

good deck

The following review is for KDC-155U, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Love this new deck, and for a very good price. The only downside i found with it is that it doesn't have a subwoofer control feature. works great and arrived quickly!

Kenwood-KDC-248U

This unit replaced a factory installed unit in my ski boat and performs great. Good company to deal with as I have purchased items before with good results.

kemwood kdc-155u

The following review is for KDC-155U, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I am very happy with this product. Once I finally figured out the wiring diagram, everything worked great. When I ordered though, it looked as if the application (my vehicle) I checked for stayed associated with the order, so I thought the installation accessories would be automatically included, but they weren't, so I had to order them later. A prompt from the website during the ordering process would have been useful (or maybe I just missed it).

good head unit

Installed easy and looks good in the Ford. easy to control too. only downfall is you cant control your sub output with it or your speaker cutoff frequency. other than that great product for the price

Nice quality head unit

Simply put, this head unit is great value for the price. The usb plug is wonderful for charging and playing your ipod at the same time. The remote it comes with is small and portable but its small size also makes it easy to lose. I recommend buying an adaptive wiring harness for your vehicle because the wires are color coded and they make installation much easier. I recommend this to anyone looking for a great head unit on a budget.

Awesome Head :)

I ordered this head unit on a Tuesday night and received it Thursday afternoon. This head unit goes perfect with my 2x 12" Kenwood subs. It has awesome features and goes great with my iPod touch. The red lighting matches the red of my interior perfectly :) The remote is small, perfect to hold in my hand while driving. The many features on the remote are simple and very easy to get the hang of. I would highly recommend this head unit to anyone with Kenwood subs.
