QuestionWill I be able to play a cd through bluetooth and connect with my JBL BT speaker.... i.e. Link my CD player to my JBL speaker? Maybe even using a cable?
Asked 3 years ago by Laura.
- Answer The answer to this is no. The radio has a Bluetooth received device in it meaning you can connect a cell phone or tablet with music via Bluetooth. You cannot connect another Bluetooth unit like your JBL that does the same concept. The radio will play a CD in itself as it does have a CD player, you can also use the USB, or simply connect your phone via Bluetooth and listen to music.

Questiondoes radio come with the plug for p[ower and speakers
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer All connections are plug. I didn’t install this particular unit but I took the older unit that was removed and swapped out a much older (mid 80s) cassette non-Bluetooth Kenwood in a 1986 Ford F-150. It was just plug and play except for a new dash mounting bracket Do a search online and you will find lots of videos. The specific wiring adapter to connect factory to Kenwood is available from Best Buy.
