KENWOOD Music Play is a free utility that’s built to help you play music on your KENWOOD car stereo with your device. This official app from JVCKENWOOD Corporation only requires you to connect your device to your stereo using a USB cord in order to begin playing music.

Music out on the road

It’s important to note that KENWOOD Music Play isn’t a music streaming service like Spotify and only serves as a medium for you to play music that’s already available on your device’s music libraries. While connecting is a simple process, the app is marred with a number of issues that make it difficult to use.

Some users have reported challenges with freezing issues and the app suddenly disconnecting. It also automatically chooses songs to play, as well, and it can be difficult to search for songs once they begin playing. Furthermore, reports of audio coming through your device’s speakers instead of the car's audio system are a frequent issue.

Barely usable

While KENWOOD Music Play presents a convenient way for users who want to listen to music from their mobile devices on their car stereo, numerous issues hinder them from enjoying the app experience. With bugs that prevent you from choosing tracks and audio coming from a different output, it leaves a lot to be desired.
