Quality Music & Intuitive Design

If you're looking for a player that has the ability to play all of your music formats with ease, the Kenwood KDC-X996 is for you. This deck features three sets of four volt pre-amplifier RCA outputs that deliver a high quality signal to your aftermarket gear. The rear of the unit has a built-in high-speed USB port that allows connection to iPods, iPhones and even Android devices.

The unit features a five-line display that will give you more song and artist information at a single glance. This Kenwood receiver has Pandora support, meaning you may thumbs up or down music that comes up in your favorite playlists. SonicElectronix wants you to have the best, so if quality is key, and connection is important to you, the KDC-X996 is the in-dash that you've been looking for.
