Garmin Street Pilot® On-Board App Support – iPhone 4/4S users can now use their device to display Garmin's map interface onto any 2012 DDX monitor (optional KCA-iP22F or KCA-iP202 cable required).

Triple 4.0V Pre-outs with Crossover System – Get the most out of your external power amplifiers by delivering 4.0V high voltage audio signal to maximize sonic performance.  Using the built-in crossover system, you can also easily filter out unwanted frequencies to your speakers and subwoofers to tune your system to its maximum potential.

Steering Wheel Remote Input – Many factory systems offer control of the factory-fit audio system from buttons on your steering wheel.  Unfortunately, this functionality is sacrificed when installing an aftermarket audio system.

Install a commercially available steering-wheel interface and maintain control of functions such as volume up/down and track up/track down.  This increases the convenience of using your system and increases driver safety to another level.

Firmware Updates – The operating system is updateable via free downloadable software from Kenwood’s support sites. Firmware downloads assist in maintaining system performance when using external devices and emerging technologies.
