Hey everybody been looking at the
Kenwood KOS-A300 Factory Radio Upgrade does anybody have any experience with this set up ?

thanks in advance...

 

Have no direct experience with it but it just looks like a glorified iPod Adapter from what I have read about it.

A little more info on the year, model and options on your car would be of great help to all of us so that we can help you. Better yet put it all in your signature so that it is there every time you make a post.

With out knowing what options your car has it is hard to tell you if this will work out for you.

 

Schatzy62 ! Thanks for the reply... still trying to work my way through this forum... I have a 2008 Cooper s,m it has the 10 speaker Hifi system... I have the aux input but no USB... This why I am looking to put this in my Cooper.... I like it cause I can add bluetooth and several items in one convieniant location...

 

Without the USB then this would be the way to go if you want inexpensive and also poor functionality.

What i mean my this is that lets say you happen to be listening to the radio and a call comes in. You will have to switch to the AUX input and then accept the call. other wise you will not hear the call audio.

Of course as I see it you will have missed the call anyway as switching to the AUX will take a short time and by that time your call will have probably gone to voice mail.

There are other systems (of course more expensive) that will do a much better job of the bluetooth part and also add the iPod/USB functionality. Ones that come to mind are Parrot Bluttooth and Fiscon Bluetooth systems.
