Files download

Since Kenwood does not provide comprehensive product information directly (and lacks an online system for end users), we're offering it here—completely free of charge. You no longer need to contact a dealer and wait for weeks to receive the files you need. Just download what you need, and you're good to go.

Software

ATTENTION! KPG-D1 is paid software (approximately $155–220 USD) and requires a license issued by Kenwood. It is highly protected (unlike Motorola, Hytera, etc.), activates each PC (referred to as a "seat" by Kenwood) via the Internet, and stores your license status on servers located in Japan. There is no way to bypass this licensing mechanism. The only legitimate way to activate this software is to purchase it from a Kenwood dealer. Unfortunately, the process is often complicated—many dealers claim the software is for internal use only, ask numerous questions, restrict distribution in certain countries (including Canada), and may delay the process by several weeks or even months. However, we maintain a list of personally verified dealers who can assist you in obtaining the software and required radio licenses, regardless of your status, location, or domain extension.
