Smartphone Connectivity
By connecting your smartphone and receiver wirelessly,
your driving time will be more fun and convenient.
 
Safe, Smart and Comprehensive Control with Apple CarPlay
Apple CarPlay is a safer way to use your iPhone in the car. Simply talk to Siri or touch the receiver’s display to get directions from Apple Maps, make phone calls, listen to voicemail, send and receive texts, and listen to music, all in a way that allows you to stay focused on the road. With the latest iOS version (iOS 12.0 and higher), 3rd party navigation apps like Google Maps™ and Waze™ are also supported. New KENWOOD Wi-Fi receivers now support Apple CarPlay wirelessly (compatible phone required).
