Bluetooth technology really shines on our video monitors because it offers
customers so much freedom and ease of use. Features of the KCA-BT200

aling, even in noisy surroundings, and users can text message directly
through the touchscreens. All your customer needs is a Bluetooth com-
patible phone and they’re on their way. (We’ll cover more about the KCA-
BT200 later.) (Note: Compatibility may vary. Users should always check their phone
and service provider for degree of compatibility. Check the Kenwood website for the latest
compatibility chart.)
The DDX812 includes the clever
entertainment features of the DNX8120
minus the built-in navigation.

The Fastest Connection Available
(We love saying that)
Kenwood’s high-speed USB interface offers super
fast access to iPods and other portable music devices. All 2008 eXcelon
and Kenwood monitors have rear-mounted USB inputs (2 inputs for eX-
celon) accessed via a one-meter pigtail cable. Our USB 2.0 Direct Con-
nectionhasadatarateof12MB/bps(wayfasterthanconventionalserial
connections), and Kenwood’s USB Direct Control can play almost any
musicformatandalmostanyUSBmassstoragedevice.Itevencharges
the device’s battery!
Remember that iPod High Speed control (and the ability to control iPod
functionsviathemonitor)referstofifthgeneration(NanoandiPodVideo
released after September 2005) devices. Kenwood multimedia units will
playandcontrolvideofilesontheNewNano,ClassicandtheiPodVid-
eo. Most customers will have newer iPods but save yourself from “angry
guy”andmakecompatibilityclearupfront.Gotokenwoodusa.comfor
firmwareupgradesandiPodcompatibilitycharts.(ImportantNote:Ifyour
customer has iPod Touch, it will play audio only.)
Our video monitors let you browse the contents of your iPod without inter-
ruptingcurrentsong/videoplayback(multi-taskerswilllovethis).Usethe
easy scroll bar to flip through your files page by page, or just slide your fin-
ger down the bar to find music at a specific point. Although video playback
on the monitor is restricted while the vehicle is in motion, you can control all
video functions and the signal can be output for the backseat monitors.
To enjoy high-speed iPod control of video files, customers need
to purchase our KCA-iP300V iPod cable. This inexpensive
cable has a 30-pin cable and terminates at the monitor by USB
and includes two mini jacks. Kenwood offers one of the few sys-
tems on the market that offers full control over iPod video files
from the touchscreen. Most other systems require you to start
the files from the iPod. Simply connect the iPod to the USB and
two separate mini-jack inputs, one for audio and the other for
video. This multi-wire scheme
lets you control and
charge the iPod, play
back audio and video
files, and even displays
multi-line text with album
artwork on-screen.
