iPod/iPhone Integration
iPod/iPhone Connectivity: The Kenwood DDX370 supports
audio/video playback from select Apple iPods and iPhones.
- Audio/Video Playback: The Kenwood DDX370's rear-panel
USB (type-A) port and rear-panel 3.5mm A/V AUX input allow you to connect
select Apple iPod/iPhones using the Kenwood KCA-IP202 iPod cable (113IP202,
sold separately). The unit's USB port handles the control, metadata display,
and charging of your iPod/iPhone. You can navigate through your music and
video files using the head unit's touchscreen controls and view song and
movie info on its display, while your iPod/iPhone charges. The 3.5mm AV
input handles audio and video transfer from your iPod/iPhone to the Kenwood
DDX370. By using the Auxiliary input, the music travels to the receiver as
an analog signal, so you can even play the Digital-Rights-Protected files
you've stored on your iPod/iPhone. The unit's rear-panel AV input must be
set to "iPod" in order to playback audio/video from your connected
iPod/iPhone. Video can only be displayed while the vehicle is in park.
- Audio Only Playback: If you only want to playback audio
from your iPod or iPhone, you can simply connect it to the DDX370's USB port
using either the USB/iPod dock cable that came with your iPod/iPhone or
Kenwood's iPod Direct Connect Cable (113KCIP102,
sold separately). This 1-wire USB connection bypasses the iPod/iPhone's DAC
and sound quality is maximized through the head unit's 24-bit D/A converter,
allowing for a Signal-to-Noise ratio up to 99dB. The unit's rear-panel AV
input must be set to "AV-IN2" in order to use the 1-wire USB connection. You
will not be able to play Digital-Rights-Protected files.
Note: If you have an iPod nano (7th gen), iPod touch (5th
gen), or iPhone 5; use the Lighting-to-USB cable that came with your Apple
device to connect to the head unit. These Apple devices only support audio
playback (no video output).
iPod Control: You can choose to control your connected iPod/iPhone from
the head unit, from the iPod/iPhone's clickwheel or touchscreen, or from select
apps streamed to your iPhone.
- Head Unit Control Mode: The Kenwood head unit allows you to navigate
your iPod's music library by Playlist, Artists, Album, Genre, Composer,
Song, Podcast, or Audiobook. Your iPod's video library can be searched by
Video Playlist, Movie, Music Video, TV Show, Video Podcast, Rented Movie, or
iTunesU. You can then search each of these categories using the head unit's
touchscreen slider function (categories will be listed in alphabetical
order). The head unit also supports Repeat (track) &
Random (album) playback functions of your connected iPod/iPhone.
- iPod/App Control Mode: The iPod/App control mode allows
you to control stored audio/video content from your connected iPod/iPhone's
clickwheel or touchscreen. This is very useful for the person riding in your
passenger seat. The iPod/App mode also lets you listen to your favorite
music apps, such as
iHeartRadio,
SiriusXM,
Last.fm,
Rhapsody, &
Slacker streamed to your iPhone (iOS 3.0+) through the Kenwood head
unit and your vehicle's speakers. You can even watch video on the Kenwood
DVD receiver's touchscreen from streaming movie apps, such as
Netflix & YouTube, downloaded on your iPhone 4/4S (iOS
4.0+), via the Kenwood KCA-IP202 iPod cable (sold separately). The App
Mode's video functions can only be accessed when the vehicle is in park and
the hand-brake is fully engaged. Not all apps will be compatible with App
Mode and App Mode will provide only limited (basic), if any, control over
the app. Available controls may include - Play/Pause & Skip Previous/Next.
Note: Access to your iPhone's downloaded applications
will depend on the availability of a cellular and/or WiFi network for
purposes of allowing your iPhone to connect to the Internet.
iPod/iPhone Display: The Kenwood DDX370 will display your
iPod/iPhone's music file information when you are controlling your iPod or
iPhone from the Kenwood multimedia head unit. The head unit will display Track
number, Elapsed playing time, Artist name, Song title, and Album label. The unit
will also display Album Art. If you choose to operate your connected iPod/iPhone
in iPod/App Control Mode, the DDX370 will not display your
iPod/iPhone's music information (the head unit will instead display 'iPhone App
and iPod Control Mode + Parking Off').
iPod Charging: The head unit's USB connection provides 1A of
current to power and charge your connected iPod/iPhone when your vehicle's
ignition switch is set to the 'ACC' or 'On' position. This unit does not charge
the iPad. If your iPod/iPhone has no initial battery charge,
then the unit will not recognize it.
Garmin App: In addition, the optional KCA-IP202 iPod cable
allows you to view navigation maps and get audible/visual
directions on the DDX370's touchscreen, when the
Garmin StreetPilot Onboard
USA app ($49.99), and the Vehicle Display Integration in-app option
($49.99) are both downloaded to your
connected iPhone (4/4S) or iPad (1/2/3); running iOS 5.1 or later. The Garmin StreetPilot Onboard USA app
contains NAVTEQ map data for the United States (lower 49 states); with over a
million POIs, turn-by turn directions, lane assist with junction view, traffic
updates, and speed limit alerts. Because the map data is downloaded onto
your iPhone and does not live on the network, wireless coverage is not required
to navigate. Once you have selected your destination on your connected iPhone,
your map route will be visible on the DDX370's touchscreen (even with parking
brake disengaged) and turn-by-turn directions can be heard through your car
stereo speakers. You will continue to use your iPhone's touchscreen to control
the Garmin StreetPilot USA app. The screen of your iPhone and the screen of the Kenwood DDX370
may not be identical.
Note: A Garmin StreetPilot Onboard app with North
American maps (US, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, USVI, and more) is also available for $59.99.

AM/FM+Pandora+SiriusXM Radio
AM/FM Tuner: The Kenwood DDX370 features a built-in AM/FM
tuner. The unit's tuner features RDS (Radio Data System). RDS is a service used by some radio stations to transmit
data outside of normal radio broadcast signals. When an RDS station is received,
you can immediately find out what kind of data is being transmitted by looking
at the program service name which appears in the display after the frequency.
RDS features an emergency transmission function which interrupts regular
programming to broadcast an emergency announcement (such as a tornado or severe
storm). There is also a switchable Traffic Information function, which will
automatically tune a traffic bulletin when it is broadcast, even when you're not
listening to the radio.
- Seek Modes: You can choose one of three tuning modes: Auto 1 (seek tuning), Auto 2
(cycles through and tunes the selected band's preset stations only with each
button press), or Manual.
- Presets: Not only does the multimedia receiver's tuner allow you manually enter
your desired presets you can choose to have the unit automatically put stations
with good reception in the memory banks automatically; this is a handy feature
when traveling.
- Mono Mode: This feature reduces the noise (static) when a
stereo broadcast is received as monaural (for FM band only).
Pandora App: Pandora is the leading Internet Radio music
service in the United States, giving people music they love anytime, anywhere,
through personalized radio stations. The free
Pandora app lets you play music from the Pandora music service through
the Kenwood DDX370 using your connected Apple iPhone, via the Kenwood KCA-IP202
iPod cable (sold separately), or the USB cable supplied with your iPhone.

Audio Section
24 Bit D/A Converter: The Kenwood DDX370 utilizes
a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior sound quality.
MOSFET Amplifier: The Kenwood DDX370 is equipped
with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET
amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased
power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More
power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not
pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. The power output specs for the
DDX370 are as follows:
- Full Bandwidth Power: 22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4
ohms, 20-20kHz, 1% THD)
- Maximum Output Power: 50 watts x 4 channels
6ch/4V Preamp Outputs: The DDX370 features front, rear and
subwoofer 4.0-volt preamp outputs. The front and rear speaker preamp outputs are
balance and fade adjustable. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading. The
front, rear, and subwoofer preamp outputs are fixed to the rear chassis of the
head unit.
Front & Rear High-Pass Filter: The DDX370 features an
independent High-Pass Crossover for the front & rear channels when your front &
rear speakers are connected by the unit's speaker-outputs or preamp-outputs. You
can adjust the high-pass crossover from 'Through' (off), 40, 60, 80, 100, 120,
150, 180, or 220 Hz. The
"Through" selection is a full-range setting. This feature is very helpful when
you have smaller-type speakers in the front and larger-type speakers installed
in the rear of the vehicle.
Subwoofer Controls: The Kenwood DDX370 offers the
following subwoofer controls, when you have the unit's subwoofer preamp output
activated.
- Low Pass Filter: The receiver features a built-in Low
Pass Filter control for the preamp-output, when the output is set to
Subwoofer. You can select from 50, 60, 80, Hz, 100 Hz, 120 Hz, or 'Through'
(off).
- Subwoofer Phase: You can adjust the phase of the
subwoofer output between 180-degrees (Reverse) or 0-degrees (Normal).
- Subwoofer Level: Once the Subwoofer preamp output is
activated, you can independently control the subwoofer preamp output level
(-50 to +10) from the DVD receiver.
Speaker Type Setting: This feature tailors the DDX370
according to the type of front speakers in your vehicle. You may select Standard
(for speakers with a general diameter), Narrow (for speakers with a small
diameter), Middle (for speakers with a medium diameter), or Wide (for speakers
with a large diameter).
Preset EQ: Eight EQ curves are preset into memory, allowing
you to recall the best preset EQ curve for different types of music. Each preset
has its own level settings for bass (100Hz), midrange (1kHz), and treble
(12.5kHz). You can choose from the following preset EQ curves - Rock, Pops,
Easy, Top 40, Jazz, Natural, Flat, and User.
EQ Pro: The DDX370 features independent Bass,
Treble, and Midrange control when the Preset EQ is in User mode. EQ Pro allows
you to adjust the following settings for the Bass, Treble and Mid frequency
levels.

Note: You can store bass, middle and treble tone settings
for each source (Disc, Tuner, AV, USB, iPod, and Pandora).
Loudness: This function enhances low and high frequencies to
make the sound clearer lower volumes.
Volume Offset: The level of each source may be independently
adjusted to prevent radical leaps in output volume when switching from one
source to another. The available settings range from -8 to 0 (-8 to +8 for Aux
source).
Dynamic Range: The dynamic range can be adjusted by
selecting either Normal, Wide or Dialog. Dialog makes the total sound volume
become larger as compared with Wide and Normal, allowing you to listen to the
movie's dialogue more clearly. This is effective only on Dolby Digital software.
Key Beep: The in-dash multimedia head unit provides an
audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.
AV Connection
Dual A/V Inputs: The Kenwood DDX370 DVD receiver is fitted
with two audio/video inputs. The unit features a rear-panel 3.5mm audio/video
input for connecting an external
game console or portable MP3 player. This input also serves as the A/V input for
your USB-connected iPod (using proprietary Kenwood cable). The head unit also
features a composite video/stereo audio RCA input on the rear-panel for
connecting an external A/V source, such as a Blu-ray player or mobile
ATSC tuner.
Camera Input: The unit features a composite video input for
connecting an optional rear view camera, such as the Kenwood CMOS-210 (113CMOS210,
sold separately). The video from this connection can be set to display when
switched to this input, or display the rear view camera video automatically when
the vehicle is shifted into Reverse gear. The purple/white wire (attached to the
rear chassis) must be connected to the vehicle's reverse lamp circuit for
automatic video switching. Automatic video switching takes approximately 1.5
seconds. Audio from your music source will continue playing, while the back-up
camera is displayed.
A/V Output: The unit features a composite
video jack and 3.5mm audio jack to output A/V signals to an optional monitor and
headphone system in the rear of your vehicle. You can select
between a 16:9, 4:3 LB, or 4:3 PS Aspect Ratio for the unit's video output to
match your connected monitor. The audio/video source which you can output to a
separate monitor and headphone system depends on the current source that is being
played back on the Kenwood DVD receiver.

OEM/Remote Control
Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features
an OEM steering wheel remote control input wire (blue/yellow) within the
included wiring harness that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering
wheel remote controls when used with an optional
steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately). Please consult
Crutchfield's
Outfit My Car to see if your vehicle is compatible.
Ford SYNC Compatible: The DDX370 is compatible with a web
programmable module from Automotive Data Solutions (ADS) that will permit the
aftermarket Kenwood head unit to work with select Ford, Lincoln, and
Mercury vehicles that feature the factory SYNC system. This ADS iDatalink
Maestro module (794ADSMRR,
sold separately); lets Ford owners replace their factory radio and retain
the OEM Sync voice control, steering wheel controls, hands-free Bluetooth, and
USB interface. They can also keep the hands-free mic that comes with the car
(which may be tuned to the particular vehicle). he iDatalink Maestro RR requires
the use of the iDatalink Maestro ADS-HRN(SR)-FOR01 installation harness (794HRNSRF1,
sold separately) and the iDatalink Maestro ADS-HRN(SX)-ALL01 cable (794HRNSXA1,
sold separately). The iDatalink Maestro module must first be connected to your
computer via USB and flashed with (SR)-FOR01-AS-UN firmware, before connection
between your Ford vehicle and the Kenwood head unit. The DDX370 also features an OEM Setup menu that must be configured
before operation.
Note: When using the iDatalink Maestro RR
to install the DDX370, you cannot add the aftermarket SXV200
SiriusXM Connect tuner (sold separately).
Optional Remote Control: The
optional Kenwood KNA-RCDV331 IR wireless remote control (113RCDV331,
sold separately) unit is designed to operate this Kenwood multimedia head unit.
The wireless remote controller operates off of two supplied "AAA"
batteries. The remote operates off of IR transmission so the KNA-RCDV331 must be
pointed at the front-panel of your compatible Kenwood head unit within direct
line of sight.
