Features

IPX66 Certified: The Kicker KMC4 digital media receiver features IPX66 waterproof / dustproof certification, so it can hold up in the marine environment and withstand powerful splashes of water out on the ocean or lake. During testing, water is projected at all angles through a 12.5mm nozzle at a flow rate of 100 liters/min at a pressure of 100 kN/m2 for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 meters. It's also fully dustproof and does not allow any dust or debris to enter the unit.

3" Color Display with Rotary + Push-Button Controls: The Kicker KMC4 features a 3" full-color display that shows you on-screen song/artist/album information, album art, and track data. The unit offers a 3-way rotary dial and push-button control for simple operation. A rubber cover is included to protect the unit's front-panel when not in use.

• Day/Night Mode: The Day/Night feature allows you to change the color scheme from Day Mode to Night Mode. The unit is defaulted to auto switch when your boat's lights are turned on. In order for the unit to automatically switch between day and night modes, the orange illumination wire must be connected. You can also set the unit to stay in either Day mode or Night mode by rotating the knob and selecting the desired setting.
• Dimmer: The Dimmer allows you to adjust the brightness of the screen and button illumination. You can adjust the brightness from 0 to +10.
• Confirmation Beep Tone: Every time a button is pressed the unit outputs a confirmation beep tone (this feature can be turned off).

Optional Wired Remote: The KMC4 supports Kicker's KRC12 marine wired remote control (sold separately). The optional KRC12 remote offers Power, Volume, Source, Track, and Station control. The remote is fully marinized with an IP66 rating. The KMC4 offers one 3.5mm remote input for the KRC12. Additional KRC12 remotes can be added using Kicker's Y-cable splitter (coming soon). A Kicker remote extension cable will also be available soon (sold separately) for installations that require longer cable runs.

Built-In Bluetooth: The Kicker KMC4 offers built-in Bluetooth with support for wireless audio streaming (A2DP) and control (AVRCP), plus hands-free communication (HFP) and secure simple pairing (SSP). You'll be able to pair multiple devices to the KMC4, but only one device can be connected and used at a time. The KMC4 will also automatically connect with a previous paired device when in wireless range (approximately 33').

• Wireless Audio Streaming: Thanks to built-in Bluetooth, you can wirelessly stream stored music, music apps and other audio content from your Bluetooth-enabled smartphone or tablet device to the KMC4 digital media receiver. The unit offers Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track control, as well as song/artist/album information with album art display.
• Hands-Free Communication (w/ external mic): Built-in Bluetooth also allows you to answer and end calls from the KMC4. The included external mic carries on your side of the conversation, while the other party is heard through your connected speakers. However, you'll still need to use your Bluetooth-enabled phone to make and dials calls. Once the call is dialed from your phone, it will automatically switch over to the KMC4's included external mic and connected speakers.

The USB-A port allows you to plug in your USB mass storage class device (like a USB thumbdrive formatted in FAT32) for playback of MP3/WMA/AAC (up to 320kbps) and FLAC/WAV (up to 16-bit) music files. The unit offers Play/Pause & Previous/Next Track control, as well as song/artist/album with album art display. If your USB MSC device can be charged via USB, the unit's USB (5V/1A) port will charge your device while connected.

Aux Input: The Kicker KMC4 is equipped with a rear-panel stereo RCA Aux input attached to rear-chassis via a 6" cable. The stereo RCA aux input allows you to connect an external audio device with a stereo RCA output.

AM/FM/Weather Tuner: The Kicker KMC4 features a built-in AM/FM tuner with manual, seek, & preset tuning. It also offers RDS and US or European tuning. It even features a Weather Band (NOAA) alert system to keep you up to date on the weather while out on the water.

Mounting & Installation: The Kicker KMC4 features a round chassis and rectangular front-panel. It can fit in a boat's 3" gauge-style opening. If your boat does not already have a gauge-style opening, the marine digital media receiver requires a round 3" cutout in the bulkhead for inserting the chassis. The integrated protective gasket and included hardware secure the unit in place against the mounting surface. The receiver comes with a silver and black trim-ring to hide the mounting screw-holes. The unit's dimensions are as follows -
