Kenwood CA-U1EX
I was looking for something to extend my USB connection from my new double din stereo and be able mount it instead of having the cable just hanging loose. Perfect for what I was needing to do. You can either cut a hole in your dash and mount it flush or mount it exposed under the dash. I didn't want to cut holes in my dash so I chose to mount it under the dash. It comes with screws, but I chose to use double sided sticky tape instead and didn't have to drill any holes. Worked perfect. Highly recommended. Crutchfield has great prices and shipping was fast.
Pros:
Cons:
Almost exactly what I wanted
This product is almost exactly what I was looking for. It installs perfectly and sits flush with the surface you are mounting it to. It is square so it can easily replace a blank switch port in a car. I just wish it came with a 12v to 4v converter so it was more plug-n-play in a car.
Pros: Easy to use mounts
Cons: Wish it had a 12v to 4v converter so it could be wired in a car.
Easy installation
Cheap, works great, easy 5 minute installation
Pros: Cheap, works great, easy 5 minute installation
Cons: None

Very nice kit
I bought this to extend the USB port of my App Radio 3 so when I have to do firmware updates on it, the port is readily accessible. I like the inclusion of both types of mounts and everything you need to make a USB port look nice and clean installed.
Pros: The kit has everything you need to make an accessible USB port
Cons: It came with a USB to USB mini cable, I didn't have a use for this and think that it shouldn't be part of the kit.
Kenwood CA-U1EX

Crutchfield asked
Why did you buy this?
I have a Kenwood head unit (DDX9903S) and needed a little bit more length so I can mount one of the USB ports in my center console and the other one somewhere else. [ Timothy Dec 17, 2018 ]
Kenwood quality. [ Michael Sep 29, 2018 ]
Recommendation of adviser. [ TheDog Jul 16, 2018 ]
I purchased this to help me mount my usb cable to my dash to make it easier to plug in my phone, iPod, mp3 player, usb flash drives. [ Paresh Apr 24, 2018 ]
had to to hook up radio [ Robin Apr 02, 2018 ]
recommended by Kenwood for my car stereo [ Brad Jan 23, 2018 ]
To connect android auto [ MANNY Dec 05, 2017 ]
Wanted to make sure Android Auto and apple car play worked properly. I have a USB 3.0 Connector and it is having difficulty connecting with android auto.. Kenwood stated in the description of the stereo I ordered if these connectors weren't used, the apps might not work properly. [ Albert Nov 29, 2017 ]
works with Android [ D Sep 23, 2017 ]
Custom installation. [ Michael Aug 06, 2017 ]
I'm trying this because the 3rd party extension cable that my installer used will not recognize my 6th gen iPod Touch. I'm hoping this one does the trick. [ MelissaGT Apr 27, 2017 ]
Great prices and fast service! [ Manuel Apr 22, 2017 ]
Crutchfield quality of service [ Bill Jul 01, 2016 ]
2 questions already asked
Also, note that only one of the cables is an extension cable for mounting, so you'd have to get an additional cable, I believe. The other is a phone cable, and doesn't work with the bracket. [ Camden Jun 04, 2017 ]
Each of the brackets can only support one port, so if you want to mount both, you'll have to mount them in different places/ways. (one bracket is front-mount, the other is top-mount) [ Camden Jun 04, 2017 ]
What do you mean by " both ports"? The item I have has only a SUB port. [ Roger Jun 04, 2017 ]
There are two mounts one for implanting the device and one for surface mounting. Even though the cables supplied can handle micro and regular usb, the mounts are only designed for regular usb connections not micro usb. Hope it helps. [ Keith Jun 03, 2017 ]
Only one. [ Nicholas Jun 03, 2017 ]
Only one port of the two included...you have to select which one you want. [ Eric Jun 03, 2017 ]
Be sure to test the USB connection for data and power before you mount anything. [ Roger Jun 04, 2017 ]
Carl, I did buy one of these but found I had already installed a USB cable into my glove box when I originally installed the unit. It had been about a year and I forgot I put it in. That being said I see no reason why this cable wouldn't work. The extra length and the flush mount ports are a really nice feature. I only use mine for updating the GPS. I also have a direct plug-in cable for my iPod but I believe you can connect anything that use USB connectivity through this cable. Kenwood themselves may be of more assistance on this matter. [ MARK J Aug 11, 2015 ]
Any USB extension cable will fit, you just won't have the mount kit [ Simon Aug 11, 2015 ]
