Kenwood’s new KVT-512 is just the thing if you are looking a flip-out screen. Just touch the motorized, retractable 7″ screen to change sources, select DVD menu items, or choose the music you want to hear. An impressive array of inputs and outputs allows you to create a comprehensive entertainment package in your vehicle.

Watch your favorite DVDs on the built-in screen whenever you’re parked, or add an external screen and wireless headphones to the audio/video output so your passengers in the back can watch movies while you drive. You can activate dual-zone mode to listen to an audio source up front while they enjoy a DVD with headphones in the back.

Build a system
The strong internal amplifier and comprehensive sound controls will bring out the best in all your CDs and music files. Connect extra audio/video gear like a game system or VCR to the two audio/video inputs to expand your entertainment options. And the KVT-512 works with a wide variety of Kenwood’s add-on gear, including satellite radios and HD Radio™ tuners. Connect external amplifiers to the front and rear preamp outputs — this Kenwood includes the high- and low-pass filters you’ll need to tune your speaker system.

More entertainment and travel options
Bring a library of tunes along for the ride by plugging in a thumb drive or other storage device into the USB input. Kenwood’s optional KCA-iP300V adapter allows you to access your iPod’s music and video content. Stay on course when you’re traveling by adding Kenwood’s navigation system — the KVT-512’s touchscreen lets you find your destination and access points of interest quickly.

Package savings
Add navigation to the KVT-512 and save some money when you do it by purchasing the DVD/Navigation package, which gives you both the KVT-512 and the KNA-G510 add-on navigation system. You’ll save $400 over the price of the components purchased separately.
