Kenwood KDC-C471FM

Kenwood's 6-disc KDC-C471FM FM Modulator CD changer lets you add CD playback to any radio with an FM tuner and no CD changer control. The changer connects to your radio through its aerial input, and plays all your favorite discs through an unused FM channel (select from 12 different frequencies). You make all disc or track changes with the controls on the wired display unit.

The KDC-C471FM will play your home-recorded CD-Rs and CD-RWs, and Kenwood's Quad 1-bit D/A converter brings out every detail of your music. Three mounting angles give you plenty of options for installation. Dynamic Control automatically adjusts the changer's output for a smooth transition between listening to FM and playing CDs.

FM Modulator CD Changers are also ideal for classic cars, lease cars and motorbikes where a conventional CD changer isn't practical.

Add-on FM CD Changers also known as (universal or RF) are ideal if you wish to keep your existing car radio and add a CD changer if:

1) Your radio does not have CD changer control
2) There are no changer options for your factory fitted radio
3) You are driving a leased car or classic
4) Your CD changer port is being used by another device

With an Add-on FM CD Changer Package, you can get terrific-sounding results playing CDs through your existing FM radio on an unused radio frequency that you store on a preset radio button of your choice (for example preset button Number 6). And if your car radio has steering wheel remote controls and/or dash display these will remain fully functional.


Installation:

But instead of connecting it to the rear of the radio, this lead connects to the included small Kenwood FM control unit that is powered by 3 wires (earth, 12v & 12v switched). Once connected this small control unit and CD lead are simply tucked under your interior plastic trim out of site.

Full installation instructions are supplied with each changer. Modern suspension technology allows skip free play-back from your home burned CD-Rs and CD-RWs as well as original CDs.
