Kenwood KDC-MP149 Car Audio Head Unit - $87 Sunshine Autobarn

60

Snaffled this one for the GF's clapped out Elantra. Should drown out the horrible noise the vehicle makes. Thought it was a steal, with JB HiFi offering this one for $119, and StaticeICE having the cheapest at $96.85.

Seems like a decent unit, here are the features:

General Features
- TDF(Theft Deterrent Faceplate) with Attention Alarm
- 13 Segment, 11 Digit FL Display
- Rotary Encoder and Search Key for easy operation
- Music Search
- Key Illumination (Red)
- Remote Sensor

Audio Features
- Maximum Output Power : 50W x 4 (MOSFET Power IC)
- System Q EX (Preset & Manual Sound Control with 3 bands parametric EQ)
- Bass Boost
- Supreme
- Front AUX Input
- 1 Preout (2.0V), Rear/Subwoofer Switchable
- Subwoofer Level Adjustable
- Low Pass Filter

CD Features
- CD-R/CD-RW Compatible
- WMA/MP3 Playback with ID-3 Tag Display
- 24bit D/A Converter

Tuner Features
- FM/AM 24 Station Presets (18FM, 6AM)

  • No USB?

    May not be important for some people I spose, but I bought a new car stereo about 2 months ago and I have yet to use the actual cd player.

    • I personally use this + AUX

      Nah, no USB. Perhaps that's why they are getting rid of them. Personally, I prefer to change songs on my device, rather than battle the head unit's search function. Aux-in is sufficient for this.

  • Wife's Elantra stereo clapped out 6 months ago, 04 model.Pulled the unit apart but couldn't see any signs of blown components (but I'm no expert). Put in the Sony from her last (written off) car. Wouldn't turn on anymore. What happened to yours?

      Doesn't seem to want to pick up radio any more. However, if you give it a sharp smack in the right spot of the dash, it works for a random amount of time. Probably just a loose aerial, but it's her birthday, so what better way to surprise her than put in a new stereo using my own manly hands. Birds love that stuff.

        +1 for your love-life advice and your use of the word "Snaffled"

      • If the Fonz/Juke Box/Happy Days method makes it work sometimes, you probably have a dry solder joint on the circuit board.

        • All the more reason to replace it then right?

        • replace, or buy a leather jacket.
