Our take on the XM Direct 2 Kenwood/Boyo Car Kit

This XM Direct 2 package includes everything you need to add XM Satellite Radio to your compatible Kenwood or Boyo receiver: an XM Mini-Tuner, a CNP2000UC universal adapter, and a Kenwood CNPKEN1 connector cable. The Mini-Tuner connects to the universal adapter, then you use the connector cable to hook up the adapter to your Kenwood receiver.

Use your home computer to program the universal adapter for your Kenwood or Boyo receiver — you can reprogram this adapter to work with another brand in the future. Once connected, you'll be able to change channels and see programming information on your stereo's display. You can also use the included XM Mini-Tuner with your XM-ready home receiver or in another vehicle with a compatible dock.

Note: If you're hooking up XM satellite radio to the Boyo AVN700A receiver, download any Kenwood DDX-series firmware.

Note: A subscription to XM is also required — learn about XM's programming. Satellite radio service is available only within Canada and the lower 48 states — not available in Hawaii or U.S. territories. Portable reception may vary by location. If you have questions about the proposed XM/SIRIUS merger, read the XM Customer Promise. To view this file, you will need the Adobe Acrobat PDF reader.

Features

Product Overview: This package includes the Audiovox CNP2000UC XMDirect² Protocol Interface Adapter and the Audiovox XMDirect² Kenwood Connection Cable (CNPKEN1). With this package, you can install XM Satellite Radio to your compatible, satellite-ready Kenwood car stereo receiver. In addition to the hardware, you will need to purchase a subscription to XM Satellite Radio in order to receive programming.

XM Satellite Radio: XM Satellite Radio programming offers 170 digital radio channels including 69 channels of commercial free music, plus news, sports, talk, comedy, and other entertainment programming from coast to coast. XM also offers instant traffic and weather alerts for 21 major US cities, as well as live sports broadcasts from Major League Baseball, NHL, the PGA tour, Indy car racing and several major college conferences.

Compatibility: As the firmware is released to complete the compatibility between the XMDirect² tuner and a specific head unit, this package is added to the accessory list for the head unit; please check there to confirm compatibility.

Installation Overview: The XM MiniTuner, which comes installed in a docking station/car cradle, plugs directly into the Protocol Interface Adapter (PIA). The XMDirect² Kenwood connection cable for your car stereo plugs between your XM-ready Kenwood radio and the PIA via a 34-pin connection and the radio's CD changer port. The magnetic antenna is mounted on the roof or trunk of your vehicle and the antenna cable is routed to the docking station/car cradle. Power and ground connections must also be made to the Kenwood connection cable.

Protocol Download: Before installation, you must first download the proper protocol for your Kenwood stereo from the XMDirect² website. This requires connecting your PC to the PIA via the supplied USB Programming cable and accessing the Internet.

Note: You must have Windows XP Pro installed on your PC for programming the XM MiniTuner. This unit is not compatible with Vista.

Dimensions: The XMDirect² components have the following dimensions:

  • MiniTuner in Docking Station/Car Cradle:
    • Width: 2.135"
    • Height: 2.793"
