KDC-DAB41U
MP3/WMA/AAC/CD/USB-Receiver with AUX Input and DAB-tuner built-in
Ergonomics to the max!
Kenwood’s new in-car CD/iPod Control system now includes state-of-the-art DAB/DAB+. Using the latest digital chip set means for the first time listening to digital radio on the move is free of annoying breaks and distortion. Clever technology will even switch from DAB to FM (and back again) if there is a local signal problem. The system includes a discrete window film aerial avoiding the need to drill a hole in the vehicles body as previously required with less sensitive receivers.
