Kenwood KDC-MP345U
$100.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Audio quality on par with top range head units, details clear and easy to pick out. IPod and iPhone library navigation and control fast and responsive, display updates immediately. Amateurs can install this unit with no additional kits and with no expert help.
The Cons:Tone controls only add or subtract a total of 8db from treble, mids or bass. Display is very hard to see in sunlight. Need to hit a 'return' button to exit a setting, rather than having it time out - awkward while driving.
The Kenwood KDC-MP345U is a single-DIN car audio receiver. It is a step up from the entry-level KDC-MP145 and MP245, adding a USB port which enables iPod/iPhone functionality unavailable with the lower-end, AUX-only models.

Users can browse, search, and control a connected iPod via the receiver interface. The KDC-MP345U sits below Kenwood's mid-range offerings, however, lacking the ability to add Bluetooth or satellite radio support via separate accessories and relying on a lower-end, single-line display. The receiver's CD player supports MP3 and WMA audio, and an AM/FM tuner with presets is also standard. The unit is equipped with two 2.0V preamp outputs, and can output up to 50 W per channel, or a total of 200 W.
