Kenwood KIV-700

The revolutionary KIV-700 is Kenwood's first in-car receiver designed specifically for iPod and USB media lovers. Having no CD mechanism included the user interface can be made to operate extremely intuitively for large capacity media libraries, where search systems are the number one priory. An extra bonus is the ability to display video from either iPod or USB devices.

For quality playback of video or music stored in an iPod/iPhone. The supplied cable KCA-iP301V enables easy connection to the KIV-700 via a USB 2.0 Direct connection for full speed data transfer and also doubles as a battery charger for your iPod/iPhone. In addition, the KIV-700 can playback Video from USB and internal memory. Available formats are MPEG4, WMV, H.264.

The grip control knob is similar to that of an iPod, making operation familiar for iPod owners. The high-speed search bar key allows users to scroll up or down through music and video files.

The KIV-700 features iPod Album Art which displays on the 3-inch TDF screen just as you would see it on an iPod screen. Video Playback is also available for displaying video files stored on your iPod.

The Sound Excellence audio enhancement feature brings out all of the music masked by road noise and it includes a unique iPod EQ function that improves iPod sound quality by deactivating the EQ setting, allowing you to select from twenty-two EQ curves optimised for iPod playback in an vehicle.
