Connection: One
end of the KCA-iP300V (3-wire) cable plugs directly into
your iPod's dock connector while the other end of the cable
uses three connectors that plug into the back of your
compatible Kenwood multimedia head unit. The USB type-A
connector portion of the cable plugs into the receiver's USB
port and handles the control and charging of your iPod, so
you can navigate through your music and video files using
your head unit's controls and view song and movie info on
its display. The two 3.5mm miniplug connectors of the cable
plug into the head unit's A/V 3.5mm inputs and transfer the
music and video from your iPod to your Kenwood multimedia
head unit. By using the Auxiliary input, the music travels
to the receiver as an analog signal, so you can even play
the Digital-Rights-Protected files you've stored on your
iPod. The controls of your Kenwood head unit will be
seamless when used with the optional KCA-iP300v and include
metadata browsing and playback of DRM contents, as well as
the ability to choose any iPod playback mode to suit your
listening application.
