Bluetooth goodness

Got an extra driver or passenger? The KDC-BT34 lets you pair two Bluetooth-equipped phones and quickly switch between them for hands-free calling.

This Kenwood also offers iPhone control and displays music info when using Apple Music® through Bluetooth.

Speaking of control, you can also operate this stereo directly from your iPhone or Android™ using Kenwood’s free Remote app, which comes in handy if your stereo is hidden away or in a custom location — super handy for an installation in a vintage vehicle. This app lets you control playback, adjust the digital signal processing, and liven up the variable color display directly from your phone.

Lots of music sources

This Kenwood is ready for streaming radio, with controls for Spotify and Pandora, along with an option for SiriusXM optional tuner and subscription required). Its front-panel USB port lets you plug in and play music from your iPhone®, or you can play digital music stored on a USB drive including high-res WAV and FLAC files. You can also switch over to your favorite Pandora stations for hours of variety. Android users, you can control your music when your phone is connected using Bluetooth. And if that isn’t enough music for you, you can also satisfy your music fix using the receiver’s front aux input.

Add a subwoofer and tweak your sound

With its three sets of preamp outputs, the KDC-BT34 lets you add a powered subwoofer or amps to your setup. Combine those with the built-in 13-band equalizer and digital time alignment, and you’ve got a serious audio hub for an ever-growing sound system. And just to make sure you have the right look in your vehicle, you get to pick the color for the receiver’s 1.5-line display and control buttons.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver’s Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone’s Bluetooth capabilities.
