We investigate prospects for indirect detection of Kaluza-Klein dark matter, focusing on the annihilation radiation of the first Kaluza-Klein excitation of the hypercharge gauge boson ${B}^{(1)}$ in the galactic halo; in particular we estimate neutrino, gamma-ray and synchrotron fluxes. Comparing the predicted fluxes with observational data we are able to constrain the ${B}^{(1)}$ mass (and therefore the compactification scale). The constraints depend on the specific model adopted for the dark matter density profile. For a Navarro, Frenk, and White profile the analysis of synchrotron radiation puts a lower bound on the ${B}^{(1)}$ mass of the order of $\ensuremath{\simeq}300\mathrm{GeV}.$
