Garage Tunes Upgrade  2                                                9-2023

 

I cut the rubber 3" square and then trimmed one corner to clear one screw. Then I also cut a slit for the wire and hot-glued the rubber to the back.
 

 

 

This should help keep out small bugs, spiders along with more dust.
 

 

 

Here is what it looks like with the back on, along with my three foot long USB wire.
 

 

 

This new unit works the same as my old one: press a button and the head unit comes off. To install it you just click it in place.
 

 

 

This is the remote that came with my old unit but it works with the new one. That's a good thing because Kenwood doesn't include this in the box any longer, which means you have to buy it separately.
 

 

 

Here you can see I've got my second USB plug filled with a flash-drive (arrow). Yes, there really is a 32 gig drive in there and it holds hundreds of songs. And the second one is in the front port that looks just like this one.
 

 

 

This new Kenwood unit has a feature that cycles through different colors, 25 different colors to be exact. Each color has a few variations (three different purples), ect.
 

 

 

This is one of many nice looking blues here.
 

 

 

And a green one, but you get the idea. And don't miss the front USB port with my flash-drive installed on the right.

The "AIR 1" that you see in the pictures refers to the radio station 90.1 FM, which is a Christian station. I listen to this station almost everyday and it's based in San Bernardino, CA. The worship music they play is awesome and is very uplifting. Give it a try when you get the chance. And if you're out of the area, just ask Alexa to play AIR 1 and you're hear live music over the internet.

This was a fun and overdue project, but in the end the new media player works great and looks nice too.
