Thanks to Mark Pennington of WRIF for the heads-up on a new Kenwood car radio that is moving in the right direction – under $150 and barely over $100 on some sites.
It would appear to have it all – CD and Mp3 playback, as well as being XM, Sirius and HD Radio ready. It’s great to see some hardware that’s now incorporating HD at this price. Hopefully, a harbinger of things to come.
(Check out this in-depth article from Sound & Vision about HD Radio for more info and what’s in store.)
