DPX-503U - Kenwood's new musical all-rounder in double-DIN format.

The DPX503U offers an RDS tuner and CD drive, Front AUX input and a USB port to connect to all USB storage devices and mobile audio players. And thanks to the iPod 1 wire interface, all new generation iPods can be connected directly to the unit.

Kenwoods Supreme sound tuning technology. The powerful 4 x 50 watts MOS-FET amplifier and the 24-bit D / A converters allows you to play traditional audio CDs, and compressed audio files in AAC, MP3 and WMA format. The multi-control button facilitates not only allows you to select individual functions, it also enables the fast scroll of a entire audio folder.

The ergonomic control and the variable lighting equipment emphasize the innovative concept of the DPX-503U. Thanks to individual colour setting, the lighting of the receiver can be adjusted to perfectly match the colour of your instrument panel. Ten primary colours are programmed, with a touch of a button can be selected, and a 10-step colour screen with a range of 999 colours allows personal design of the lighting equipment. Another highlight is the "Emotional Effect Illumination" Turn on the CD-receiver and as you turn the music louder or softer or perform another operation, the receiver confirms the operation with a flash of various backlit colours. The new 4-line display provides very clear text information. The display will also show the TAG information such as album, song and performer.

By adding the extra bluetooth adaptor, (KCA-BT200) you will be able to make and receive phone calls comfortably and securely over the car radio. The Bluetooth module can also be used to receive audio files stored in the A2DP profile on your phone.
