Kenwood KDC-DAB4551U DAB Receiver

Kenwood’s new in-car CD/iPod Control system now includes state-of-the-art DAB/DAB+. Using the latest digital chip set means for the first time listening to digital radio on the move is free of annoying breaks and distortion. Clever technology will even switch from DAB to FM (and back again) if there is a local signal problem.

Kenwood's DAB-A1 DAB aerial is required with this product (not included). This is a discrete window film aerial avoiding the need to drill a hole in the vehicles body as previously required with less sensitive receivers.
