Ready to rock the outdoors

Kenwood's KMR-XM500 packs a lot of cool features into a compact package that fits a standard 3” gauge opening. With a 2.7” color display, built-in Bluetooth streaming, a 45-watt RMS amp, plus inputs and outputs for expanding your system, this IPX6-rated digital media receiver will be a great addition to your boat, side-by-side, or golf cart.

Lots of ways to play

You can use the built-in Bluetooth to stream music from your smartphone, or you can use the rear charging USB input to enjoy tunes stored on a music player. You'll also be able to enjoy your favorite radio stations and get weather updates with the AM/FM/Weather Band tuner.

If you want to enjoy satellite radio programming when you're out on the water, this Kenwood is SiriusXM Ready®, so all you need is a tuner (sold separately) and a subscription. There's also a rear-view camera input if you want to make docking a little easier.

Add a remote

This receiver also works with Kenwood's KCA-RC35MR wired remote (sold separately), so you and your passengers can control the entertainment from wherever you like.
