Kenwood KMR-XM500 2.7 Inch Color Bluetooth Marine Receiver - 3" Gauge Mount

The Kenwood eXcelon KMR-XM500 is a purpose-built marine and motorsports digital media receiver designed for boats, UTVs, side-by-sides, and other open-environment installations where durability, compact mounting, and clean system expansion matter.
