DAB+ digital radio with seamless blending
The DAB+ tuner is capable of receiving the digital radio stations available free from noise, crackling and level fluctuations. If a sufficiently strong DAB signal is not available, the tuner temporarily switches to the appropriate FM frequency automatically and without an audible interruption. Seamless blending is an intelligent data buffer that ensures seamless cross-fading without annoying level and time offsets.

Variable lighting
The LC display and control button illumination colour can be individually adapted to the vehicle interior. In addition to the preset colours, numerous other colours can also be chosen freely with RGB. The manual dimmer also allows the brightness of the display and button illumination to be adjusted depending on the ambient light. In addition to the 13-digit main display, there is also a 4-digit sub-line - particularly useful when displaying additional information such as the time.

Bluetooth hands-free system
The Bluetooth module allows users to make phone calls safely and conveniently while driving. The call quality is significantly improved by the external microphone supplied and the sophisticated sound processing with echo and background noise suppression. A particular highlight is the option of connecting two phones at the same time and operating them in parallel. For wireless music streaming via A2DP, the AVRCP 1.6 profile with extended control and search functions (including integration of existing title, artist, album or genre information) is used.

5 Phone Music Mix
The Music Mix function allows users to connect up to 5 smartphones to the car radio as a Bluetooth audio source at the same time, and to switch between the A2DP streams of the individual players at any time. This can be done either by pressing a button on the Kenwood car radio, or by simply launching the smartphone music player. Switch between the different audio players instantaneously.

Spotify control
Kenwood Spotify control allows all essential Spotify functions to be controlled via the radio. It can be used to scroll through Spotify playlists, albums, tracks and artists, or to search by genre and other information. If Spotify is already installed on the smartphone, the Android* phone is connected to the Kenwood radio via Bluetooth and the Spotify app* is launched on the smartphone.

* Compatible smartphone and Spotify subscription required
* Only compatible with Android smartphones

DSP with digital run time correction
The KDC-BT450DAB's DSP can improve in-car sound in many ways. For example, the 13-band equaliser allows vehicle-specific peaks and troughs in the frequency response to be balanced out, thereby ensuring a harmonious sound. The digital run time correction makes it possible to compensate for the influence of the speaker position on the acoustic imaging of the space.

Kenwood Remote app
The Kenwood Remote app turns compatible Android smartphones into comprehensive remote controls for all Kenwood Bluetooth car radios. The app is controlled via large buttons or voice control for basic commands such as pause or skip tracks. More extensive equaliser settings or run time correction can be handled using the app on the smartphone. The Kenwood Remote app is available free of charge from the Google Play Store.
