Kenwood KMM-BT228U
Digital Kenwood KMM-BT228U media receiver (does not play CDs)
Smartphone-centric
Kenwood’s KMM-BT228U digital media receiver lets you bring your smartphone into the fold and helps your music sound even better. The latest Bluetooth® connectivity gives you easy access to hands-free calling and audio streaming, thanks to the two biggest buttons on the stereo — one for calls and one for music. You can even grab a charge on the go from this receiver’s front-facing USB input. And with Kenwood’s Remote App on your smartphone, you can tweak your Kenwood’s sound settings from your phone whenever you feel like it.
Plenty of sources
With a wired connection to your compatible phone, the KMM-BT228U lets you navigate your favorite playlists and explore new music on Spotify, Pandora, and Apple Music. The receiver can also play MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, and even high-res FLAC music files, so you can access your entire music library on your commute. You’ll also be able to take advantage of a variety of search and playback features from the KMM-BT228U. A front-facing aux input expands your source options too.
Everybody plays
For the family ride, Kenwood lets you pair two Bluetooth-equipped phones and quickly switch between them for hands-free calling. And when you’re streaming audio, Kenwood’s Music Mix feature lets you pair five phones so everybody can pick their tunes for the ultimate road trip party.
Kenwood KMM-BT228U Tune-up
Kenwood sound reconstruction restores the depth that’s often missing from compressed music files, and digital time alignment ensures that all that sound reaches your ears at the same time. A 13-band EQ lets you get the sound you like, and with their Remote app, you can tune it from your phone.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver’s Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone’s Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.
