Customers admire the Apple iPod- and Satellite Radio-Ready In-Dash Receiver's exceptional sound quality and Bluetooth connectivity. Many appreciate its ease of use and the numerous features it offers, finding it to be a great value for the price. However, some customers note the lack of a CD player and find the display difficult to read in bright conditions.
Put this into my 05 Civic to swap out and older Kenwood unit with no Aux. It was a direct swap and easy to install. Great features. HD Radio, Pandora, iHeart Radio and USB/AUX. NOTE: does not have a CD Drive. Sounds good and easy to use, with a remote too! Only con (and its a big one to me) is that in ANY type of daylight (not even sunlight) the display is almost impossible to read. Ive considered swapping it out with other Kenwood units however all of them seem to suffer this issue reading reviews.

I am going to first of all say that this Kenwood DOES NOT have a CD player!! If that is ok then check out this unit as it sounds great and is loaded with features to include dual Bluetooth with NFC and HD radio. The HD radio is what sold me on this unit VS the 315. I enjoy the morning show on the local 104.7 and it is nice having it in HD. By the way the tuner is AWESOME in how well it picks up stations!!! even a station called 97X comes in very clear. I have had lots of trouble picking up this station clearly in the past. I was told by multiple people that HD is lousy in the fact that it never holds the HD signal. This is not true with this radio. HD works perfect with stations that support it. Once last note though. When I first installed this unit the noise floor was awful. Kenwood is aware of this and has released a firmware update. Updating the firmware resolved this issue.

Bought this to upgrade the jam box in a semi truck. Excellent choice. Sounds great and was a great price. Lots of features. Love the Bluetooth option.
