Kenwood KDC-CMP59FM

It's a tough situation - you want to keep your factory-installed car radio, but you'd love to be able to listen to MP3 music you've recorded on CDs. Kenwood has the solution! The 10-disc KDC-CMP59FM CD/MP3 add-on changer connects to any factory (or aftermarket) receiver through its aerial input, and plays your favorite CDs (as well as CD-Rs and CD-RWs) through the FM tuner.

The KDC-CMP59FM will also play your MP3-encoded CD-Rs and CD-RWs. You can store up to 10 hours of your favorite music files on one disc, so load up this changer for days of entertainment! You control all changer functions with the wired display/controller unit or the wireless remote control. The 4-step output level settings let you adjust the changer's volume to match your radio. Three mounting angles (0°, 45°, or 90°) give you plenty of options for installation

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/MP3 Changers also known as (universal or RF changers) are ideal if you wish to keep your existing car radio and add a CD or MP3 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 or MP3 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.
