Sometimes you just want something simple to get the music going in your ride. Kenwood's KDC-168U CD receiver includes easily accessible front panel controls to let you control your music, tweak your sounds, pick your favorite radio stations, and crank the volume when the mood strikes you.

I hate getting into an older car with a bare-bones low-powered factory stereo. Flat and uninspiring are just a few of the words I'd use to describe the experience.  If you're looking for a low-priced upgrade that puts the emphasis on sound quality, Pioneer's DEH-S1100UB CD receiver is a smart choice. 

Tired of those scratched-up CDs taking up space in your car? With Kenwood's KMM-108U digital media receiver, you can enjoy your entire digital music library without missing a beat.
