Highlights
 

Built-In Bluetooth - Bluetooth wireless technology promotes safe driving habits by allowing you to have a hands-free conversation while you drive without the need to hold a phone to your ear.  Incoming calls will be picked up automatically or at the touch of a button if screening calls.  For outgoing calls, the easy to read display interface makes it easy to search the contents of your address book, recent calls sent or received and with a press of a button you're connected. 

  
  Pandora Connectivity - Pandora is an internet radio service that allows you to create radio stations based upon favorite artists and songs.  In short, Pandora analyzes a song or artist using up to 400 distinct musical characteristics and then recommends songs and artists based upon your personal likes.  If the Pandora App is on your iPhone, simply connect to the KIV to enable control of your personal Pandora stations.
  
 USB Connectivity for iPhone and iPod - All KIV models feature rear USB connectivity for audio/video playback from popular digital media devices like iPhone (KCA-iP202), iPod (KCA-iP202) and mass storage devices like USB thumb drives..  Featuring an advanced graphic user interface, iPod browsing is done easily when controlling an iPhone or iPod.  For added versatility, iPod control by Hand disables the receiver's integrated control, enabling passngers to control the iPod manually including some selected Apps. 
  
Rear View Camera Input - The latest KIV models now feature rear camera inputs compatible with CMOS-300 and CMOS-200 reverse cameras to better assist the driver in reversing safely in any vehicle.
