Had you bought the 106 version that has a subwoofer out socket. Some subwoofers have options for connection by speaker terminals. If you haven't bought the subwoofer yet check with the seller to make certain you can connect it via speaker wires. Otherwise you would be better with a non powered one.
Kenwood utilize the CD Changer plug in the back (which acts as a secondary Aux input), to operate external iPod devices.
This is done with the aid of an Adapter Lead - it has the 13-pin DIN plug on one end (plugs into the rear of your unit), and an iPod plug on the other end (plugs into your iPod).
Depending on the "Generation" of your external iPod device, you will need to buy the appropriate Kenwood adapter cable. These are: KCA-IP102, KCA-IP202 or KCA-IP302.
There may be some aftermarket (3rd party) cables that may do the same job.
Just ensure you read your Kenwood manual, as the Kenwood unit may be limited to the types of files (i.e. formats) it can read & play.
Hello,
I had the exact same problem. There is a RESET button on the face of the radio. I have pressed it with the radio ON, OFF and While Holding the SOURCE (power) Button. My iPods are now working fine with the radio.

usualy means the ipod, or the software in the ipod is not compatable with the kenwood. easiest way to check, is to find someone with a new model ipod and plug it in, if it works, the problem is with your ipod, not the kenwood. If you go online and download the most recent software to your Ipod, this may fix it. If you don't know how to do this, take your Ipod to Best buy, they will download the newest software to your Ipod fairly cheap.
Get a cassette to ipod hook up. They are just black cassette tapes with a cord coming out that plugs into your ipods earphone jack. They're usually around $20.00
iPod Adapter Compatible: Using the KCA-iP500 iPod Control Interface, you can connect your Apple iPod digital music player to this receiver. The interface (item # 113IP500) plugs into the receiver's 13-pin CD changer input and controls the iPod through the receiver's controls, as well as displays the iPod's text information right on the receiver's display.
On the Kenwood models that are within about 6 or 7 years old or newer, there is an iPod adapter for the head units that plugs into the CD Changer port on the back of the radio. Kenwood makes an adapter (KCA-IP500) that gives direct control and charging through the radio and several companies make aux input adapters for Kenwood radios that will connect to the iPod's headphone jack.
