Kenwood’s KDC-MP345U is a great replacement for that factory CD receiver, giving you both a USB port for simple connection of your iPod/iPhone or a thumb drive, an auxiliary input for other audio devices, playback of MP3/WMA files (via burnt CDs or from the USB port), and room to grow your system with dual preamp outputs.
Kenwood KDC-MP345U Removable Faceplate
The faceplate of this model can be removed and taken with you, to help deter theft. The control panel is equipped with an easy-to-read, one-line, 13-digit flourescent display for easy control and navigation.
Kenwood KDC-MP345U CD and WMA/MP3 Playback
Enjoy your favorite CDs and CD-Rs, or burn a disc of WMA or MP3 files and enjoy hours of music on a single disc, along with ID-3 tag display for artist and title info.
Kenwood KDC-MP345U Front-Panel USB Port
Plug in a thumb drive or other USB storage device for playback of your favorite MP3/WMA files, with easy folder navigation. The port will also charge portable devices, and offers control of some music phones via the receiver.
Kenwood KDC-MP345U Enjoy Your iPod
The USB port also provides simple connection of your iPod/iPhone allowing you to listen to your favorite music with your car stereo. Then you’ll get the added benefit of advanced search features designed to let you spend more time listening to your favorite songs instead of hunting for them: Alphabet Search, Reverse Browsing, and more.
Kenwood KDC-MP345U FM/AM Tuner
When you feel like letting someone else control the programming, switch to the radio. Store your favorite stations as presets for instant access–mixed preset tuning allows both FM and AM stations to be preset on the same preset band.
Kenwood KDC-MP345U Front Auxiliary Input
Listen to external audio devices like MP3 players using the front auxiliary input.
Kenwood KDC-MP345U Room To Grow
The KDC-MP345U’s 50W x 4 MOSFET amp is plenty powerful, but it also features dual 2V preamp outputs (front and rear/subwoofer) for system expansion. It includes a rear/subwoofer switch with a subwoofer level and adjustable low pass filter, so you can send just what you need for your system.
Kenwood KDC-MP345U System Q Sound Control
Five factory pre-set equalization curves (Rock, Top40, Pops, Jazz and Easy, plus a flat setting) and three speaker matching curves (OEM, 6×9, 5/4 plus a flat setting) can be combined for extreme sound-shaping flexibility. The preset curves include midrange contouring, giving music more clarity and presence. The preset curves can also be combined with the unit’s bass, midrange and treble controls allowing users to personalize the sound to their particular taste.
Kenwood KDC-MP345U Bass Boost
Handy for listening at lower volume levels (or for those who just like a lot of low-end).

Kenwood KDC-MP345U user review
I usually don’t do reviews, but I am so happy with this purchase I had to. I searched around for an entire month trying to find the right receiver. I think that for the money this product is hands down a total score! It has an aux and a usb. Now, when I purchased this I was thinking on using the ipod with the aux input originally. While the usb port can be used for direct Ipod connection and memory stick media (memory stick media?!) I figured I’d only use it to charge my ipod once the bat was running low. I have heard such bad things about ipod/usb functionality in radio receivers that I never thought I would actually use it. I love my ipod, and with the 32,000+ songs I have on there, being able to quickly scroll to what I want is essential, and its pretty hard to keep track of the new stuff I put on because I don’t have enough time in the day to listen to all the songs, so I do a lot of rating. trying to scroll through quickly using any receiver search button seemed like a joke and you can’t rate songs when you can’t use the ipods native click wheel. But i digress. The point is I looked in the manual and found “hands-on/hands/off”. With the ipod plugged into the usb port on the receiver I can hit 1 and 3 on the radio and switch between the modes. Now I can use the benefits of the usb port (charging, quality sound) AAAAND use my ipods native clickwheel functionality at the same time. I don’t even use the aux anymore! and whenever I decide I want to listen to the ipod on random i just push button 1 on the radio and my artist/album scroll across the screen and I am still happy. The only thing so far that is negative are:
1.the screen during the day is almost impossible to see with sunlight on it. it just looks pink.
2.when using the awesome usb mode i quickly mentioned up top…..for the first 30 seconds in either hands-on/hands-off mode you get a little song distortion because it is loading up i guess. Like i said i have over 30,000 songs and if i get 2 noise interruptions for a second a piece for the first 30 seconds of run-time and thats it, i’d say this is an outstanding product for all who love using there ipods in the car! buy it. u will be very happy. also, I have 4 polk audio db and they sound outstanding with all but a tiny fragment of songs in the hip-hop genre.

Kenwood introduced the tuner Kenwood Car KIV-700 dedicated to iPhone and iPod.
The Kenwood has a car accessory that could become invaluable to all types of vehicles: The KIV-700 tuner. This model is a next generation music player and is designed for those who listen to music “liquid”, ie users of iPod and iPhone in particular. This means that all those who use music players, such as those published by Apple, you’ll need to have a Kenwood KIV-700, to try and listen to music downloading by those readers with easy to use a single knob to upload or download.
The device of Kenwood, then, also has a 3”TFT screen, in color, which lets you view videos on iPod / iPhone. The functions of this new tuner are different: the search mode leads to playlists, artists, songs, to the podcast. But you can work through the KIV-700 to interact with your iPod, with manual control function. One method that allows you to fiddle around, at will, audio or video file is a direct connection with other electronic devices through a dedicated cable, supplied, which connects via a USB 2.0 high speed.
It also supports battery charging function, through the same system. Kenwood, therefore, does nothing but follow the market trends and create a player that is compatible with the latest audio and video electronic devices, such as to provide a fast track for listening and sharing music and movies, too car. This tuner, built specifically for iPod and iPhone, is marketed at a price of 332.90 euros. Even the refrain of the campaign seems guessed: bye-bye CD. A new car stereo has come for the foreseeable future.

Kenwood built an impressive list of features into its attractively-priced KDC-W313A CD/MP3 receiver. Its detachable face boasts an easy-to-see FL display and easy-to-use rotary control. The powerful internal amp (50Wx4 channels) stays clean, even when the music’s really pumping. System Q Sound Control whips the sound into shape with preset sound curves and tone controls.
Its Speaker Setting function lets you choose from three settings to tailor the KDC-W313A’s output to the speakers in your vehicle. Source tone memory stores a System Q setting for each source (CD, FM, AM).
Kenwood’s RDS tuner does a great job of pulling in and holding your favorite stations and if you’re into building a system, the KDC-W313A includes a set of preamp outputs to simplify adding outboard amplifiers.
