Kenwood's KMR-D382BT CD receiver offers up a lot of music options for your time on your boat. Enjoy streaming Internet music, Bluetooth® audio, high-res FLAC files, CDs, and radio. This receiver's highly visible display won't wash out, even on the brightest of days. And if you need more power to drive some marine speakers, a full set of ultra-clean 4-volt preamp outputs lets you add marine amps to the mix.

If you're a satellite radio fan, add a SiriusXM tuner (subscription required) to this Kenwood and enjoy music, sports, and talk, even when you're miles offshore. You can also play and charge your iPhone® or check out a USB drive filled with high-res FLAC files through the front USB port. Android™ users, you can control and play music using Bluetooth. Kenwood rounds out the connectivity with a front aux input for a  portable music player. Still dig CDs and AM/FM radio? No problem — this Kenwood can handle that, too. 

Dig into the deep tone controls on Kenwood's free Remote app to tweak your sound.

Wired remote control options provide quick access wherever your duties take you. You can also control this stereo directly from your iPhone or Android phone using Kenwood's free Remote app. 

This Kenwood's 13-band EQ helps you get exactly the sound you want, while Kenwood's Sound Reconstruction technology restores all the sonic details to your compressed music files. Other audio tools include digital time alignment, a comprehensive crossover network, and a speaker size selector.

Kenwood built this all-weather receiver to survive and thrive in the marine environment. It features a conformal coating that keeps moisture from damaging the internal circuitry, while the openings are designed to keep salt and spray out of the player and ports.

Installation note: This marine radio is water-resistant, but we recommend mounting it in a water-resistant enclosure or using a cover for best performance.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

Smartphone note: If you're going to use your smartphone with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for compatibility information.
