Product details

A customizable stereo

Kenwood's KDC-BT382U CD receiver includes the same Alexa voice control you can enjoy with smart Amazon Alexa products you may have at home. Kenwood also added Bluetooth® to wirelessly stream music and make hands-free calls quickly and easily. You also get deep tone controls, outputs for system expansion, an option for satellite radio, and a USB port that's compatible with an iPhone® and high-res music files. And just to make sure you have the right look in your vehicle, you get to pick the color for the receiver's 1.5-line display and control buttons.

Alexa voice control

Load the Alexa app onto your phone and pair your phone to this Kenwood receiver, press the dedicated "Alexa" button on the faceplate, and you can access music, audiobooks, news, weather, traffic, and smart home controls using your voice.

Built-in Bluetooth and Alexa provide lots of control options.

Bluetooth goodness

In addition to wireless access to music and calls, the KDC-BT382U enables you to pair two Bluetooth-equipped phones and quickly switch between them for hands-free calling. And when you're streaming audio, the Music Mix feature lets you pair five phones so everybody in the car can take turns picking the tunes. You can wirelessly stream and control simple playback functions of just about any Internet radio service, including Spotify, TIDAL, and Qobuz.

You can also operate this stereo directly from your iPhone or Android™ phone using Kenwood's free Remote app, which comes in handy if your stereo is hidden away or in a custom location such as a vintage vehicle or RV.

Lots of music sources

This Kenwood is ready for music, including an option for SiriusXM (optional tuner and subscription required) for uninterrupted music from coast to coast. Its front-panel USB port also lets you plug in and play music from your iPhone®, or you can play your own digital music stored on a USB drive including high-res FLAC files. Android users, you can control your music when your phone is connected using Bluetooth. And if that isn't enough music for you, you can also satisfy your music fix using the receiver's front aux input for a portable music player.

Add a subwoofer and tweak your sound

With its three sets of preamp outputs, the KDC-BT382U lets you add a powered subwoofer or amps to your setup. Combine those with the built-in 13-band equalizer and digital time alignment, and you've got a serious audio hub for an ever-growing sound system.
