Overview Details Customer Reviews Category Info Our take on the Kenwood KCA-iP200 by Robert Ferency-Viars Why would I need an iPod® adapter? An iPod adapter allows you to connect your iPod to your car stereo, then access your playlists with your stereo's controls - a great idea for several reasons. One, you can scroll through your song titles on your stereo's larger display, instead of squinting down at your iPod. Two, you can route the adapter cable to your glove compartment or center console, so your iPod stays safely out of sight. Three, the iPod adapter keeps your iPod fully charged, so it's ready to rock when you leave your car. And last of all, some adapters bypass your iPod's internal digital-to-analog converter, using your stereo's superior DAC to turn your files back into music. The KCA-iP200 connecting cable gives you high-speed access to the music on your iPod through your compatible 2007-up Kenwood CD receiver. One end of the cable plugs into your iPod's dock connector. The other end includes a USB cable and a miniplug cable, both of which connect to your Kenwood stereo's inputs. The USB cable handles the control and charging of your iPod, so you can navigate through your music files with the Kenwood's controls and view song info on its display. The miniplug connector transfers the music from your iPod to the stereo's auxiliary input. The music travels to your stereo as an analog signal, so you can even play the Digital Rights-protected files you've stored on your iPod. Warranty: 1 year. Note: Your 2007-up Kenwood receiver must include both a USB input and an auxiliary input in order to work with this cable. Be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility with this iPod adapter. Hands-on research from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)

Features Overview: The KCA-iP200 USB Direct Connection Cable for iPod allows you to connect compatible iPods with a USB-equipped Kenwood head unit.
