Multiple ways to play your music

Lots of ways to play

You can use the built-in Bluetooth to stream music from your smartphone, or you can use the rear charging USB input to enjoy tunes stored on a music player. You'll also be able to enjoy your favorite radio stations and get weather updates with the AM/FM/Weather Band tuner.

If you want to enjoy satellite radio programming when you're out on the water, this Kenwood is SiriusXM Ready®, so all you need is a tuner (sold separately) and a subscription. There's also a rear-view camera input to make docking a little easier.

Add a remote

This receiver also works with Kenwood's KCA-RCMR wired remote (sold separately), so you and your passengers can control the entertainment from wherever you like.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.
