Kenwood KDC-BT51U Bluetooth CD receiver key features

A combination of high-quality in-car audio playback and Parrot Bluetooth hands-free communication.

Why purchase separate hands-free equipment, which normally plays back callers on a tiny in-built speaker, when you can integrate the phone system completely into your vehicles audio system?

A large display also shows clearly who is calling from your phone's downloaded phonebook. Music playback is paused for the duration of the conversation.

And the icing on the cake is the iPod/iPhone USB direct connection.

• Parrot Bluetooth handsfree adaptor built-in with choice of built-in or included external microphone
• iPod/iPhone Direct Control
• Illuminated front panel USB port plus AUX input jack socket
• 3 or 2 line, full DOT LCD display with variable colour to match any dashboard
• Dual-function Accent Key for easy call answering
• Log function to recall recently used stations, phone numbers, function settings etc.
• Multi-language menu text & tag support
