Expert Review

Kenwood KDC-MP332 car CD player

Date Published: 5/19/08

If all of your music downloads come from iTunes, Kenwood's KDC-MP332 is the car CD player for you. The KDC-MP332 is one of a new breed of car systems that can play disc-stored AAC files, the format used by iTunes and iPods. It will also play MP3 and WMA files, making it compatible with the most popular digital audio file formats.

The KDC-MP332 is a capable unit. There are two sets of pre-amp outputs in case you choose to supplement the built-in MOSFET amplifier, which provides 50 peak watts into four channels. The KDC-MP332 has CD changer controls, and it can be connected to an iPod with an optional adapter. The unit is also XM and Sirius satellite radio-ready, and it can even control an HD Radio tuner. The included AM/FM tuner has presets for 6 FM and 6 AM stations.

The CD slot is behind the fold-down faceplate, which leaves extra space for a larger, more legible display. For added security, the faceplate can be removed and taken with you when you leave the vehicle. The KDC-MP332 car CD player is the perfect choice for an iTunes aficionado, and for such a functional head unit, the price is a pleasant surprise.
