About the Kenwood KCA-S220A
The KCA-S220A 2-changer switch lets you add two pieces of Kenwood gear to a compatible Kenwood in-dash stereo, including a CD changer, iPod® adapter, SIRIUS or XM satellite radio, or HD Radio™ tuner. You'll also find an auxiliary input for a portable music player or other audio gear.
With most Kenwood car stereos, this adapter allows you to choose between two Kenwood components and an auxiliary source — three outboard sources instead of being limited to one. With older (pre-1999) Kenwood stereos, you'll be able to connect and choose between two sources — refer to the "Crutchfield Hands-on Research" tab above for more information. The KCA-S220A connects to the changer port on the back of your Kenwood stereo. Warranty: 1 year.

This thing is awesome! I hooked it up with the Blu tooth and XM controllers to the KOS V500...everything just worked, no problems at all...best investment I've made for the system other than the screen.
