Kenwood KCA-RC700 Wireless 8-key steering wheel remote control
I Bought this remote from Crutchfield and I love it. It makes it alot easier to keep your eyes on the road but the only thing the remote is missing is a Play/Pause button. I would also like it if it was backlit also.
Key Features
The KCA-RC700 will select volume (+/-), source (Tuner, Tape, CD, CD/MD Changer), tuner/track (up/down), attentuation, band select (FM/AM), fast forward/rewind, and disc/track (up/down). You can also enter numbers and symbols for naming your station and discs (if your receiver has this capability).
I also have a Kenwood KHD-C710
The Music Keg � Digital Media Player
# Music Keg plays MP3, WAV, and Windows Media (WMA) files (mounts like a standard changer)
# USB computer desktop cradle loads music files from your PC
# transfers files from the computer to the Hard Drive at USB speeds
# 10-gigabyte music storage cartridge (holds roughly 2,500 songs)
# user-friendly Kenwood PhatNoise Music Manager software CD-Rom included
# connects to select 1998 and newer Kenwood changer-controlling receivers.
# occupies the CD changer port on the Kenwood receiver, so an optional 2-changer adapter is needed to run both the KHD-C710 and a CD changer
# compatible with any in-dash FM radio when used with an optional Kenwood FM modulator
# displays MP3 file names and ID3 tags
