Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a 2004 F-150 pickup, which until yesterday had the factory radio....pre-MP3, pre-Bluetooth, pre Android, Pre-Iphone/pod/pad.....it had Am/FM and played CDs. Bought this last week to come out of the dark ages, and learned at checkout the installer had just quit. Tried to call the next nearest Bestbuy (65 miles away), but no answer for 3 days. Woke up yesterday and decided to just throw it in myself. Soldered and shrink-wrapped all the connections to the wiring harness, ran the microphone wire, and voila....21st century tech in my 15 year old truck. Sounds great, Android Auto integrates everything in.....navigation, Bluetooth phone and music, address book, etc. very impressive. Download the whole manual...it comes with the quick start guide but the real one is 108 pages. It even updated the time automatically. Capabilities are almost overwhelming. I was going to spring for the one with onboard GPS, but this is actually better because my phone and Google Maps are always current, and I’ve used the phone for years for navigation...now I can just have the map broadcast onto the dash screen.

Pros: Clear screen, lots of functions, clear screen when playing DVD's Cons: instruction manual lacks android auto setup, no remote. Purchased this unit as an upgrade from a previous Kenwood. I really like the touchscreen. Its clear to see on the brightest days. Also there's multiple functions including dvd player and backup camera capability. I've tried to setup the android auto function on my own since the manual doesn't mention it, but I haven't figured it out as of yet. Not a big deal though. There is no remote which would make it alil easier when driving. Overall, this is a pretty good unit and would recommend it to anyone who's looking to upgrade.

Terence at the Summerlin Las Vegas store was the BEST!!! The install was very clean, there are not any rattles after one month, this is always a concern when someone gets into the dash etc. He also spent the time with me at pickup to walk through all of the new features and answer all of my (there is not such thing as a dumb) questions. If anyone is looking for a new or replacement system in the Las Vegas area for their vehicle, I highly recommend Best Buy's considering Terence and his team for the in house install.

Kenwood has done it again. Another fantastic product and performs flawlessly. The touch is very responsive and layout is eazy to navigate while driving. A ton of sound options as well as custom accents. A great radio. Graphics are 4k tv quality.

Works well does everything I wanted it to do would not suggest that if you never installed one I would let someone else do it the installation kit is not as easy as they say and instructions are poor. Installed in 2004 2500 Dodge pickup

Pretty dam good deck does everything I could imagine and more.

Great features, good interaction with my car’s existing amp and steering wheel controls, sounds amazing. Would recommend

Couldn’t have asked for a better stereo to install in my Tundra. Very easy to use and navigate. I would recommend this to anyone.

Really like the unit...does everything I wanted it to ...love the android auto

Works as advertised. I really enjoy the ease of the use.

This radio is awesome, does everything you need and more!

The stereo worked great for the first year. Now it will not connect to my phone. It cuts in and out on music. Attached is the picture that happens when I plug the phone in. I took a lot of time looking at and comparing stereos.

This is a great unit for the price, has everything you could need. The EQ option can be tweaked to what ever your specific listening choice is and stored under multiple user modes. The presets that come with the EQ make it easy to get your listening pleasure started. Apple CarPlay works as advertised. I have this in a 2018 Dodge Ram 2500. I paired it with Kenwood KAC 1814, 400 watt amp, small enough to be mounted behind the head unit in the dash, this keeps it out of the way and wire lengths to a minimum. I also replaced the 4-6x9 door speakers with Kenwood:KFC-6966R, inexpensive speakers but WOW what sound!!! The bass with these is incredible. I also mounted a KICKER - Hideaway 8" Subwoofer with Enclosure and Integrated 150W Amplifier behind the rear seat in a vertical position, this still allowed my drop in storage insert to be used without any modification. I left the stock dash speakers and this system has only improved their sound. I listen to a lot of hard rock and 90’s metal, I can not turn this system all the way up, IT HURTS, but the sound is incredible, Pantera never sounded so good. You don’t need a 1600 watt amp. I’m not trying to win sound competitions, just improve my ride down the highway. The stock rear camera still works and can be turned on while driving down the highway giving you a view of your trailer or that tailgater behind you. You won’t be disappointed with this head unit. The only thing I may do in the future as add another kicker sub in the back. Cd/dvd player works as advertised. As others have noted, the touch response is not very sensitive, but once you’ve used it, you get use to it.

Great stereo with great features! Love apple car play. Jim In Salinas did a perfect install.

This Kenwood head unit works absolutely amazing! Picked it up while it was on sale and with free install but after using it for a few weeks I would absolutely pay full price. The ease of use and user friendly GUI makes Kenwood the only brand to consider. Apple Car-lay makes my car feel like new. The system also has a great onboard system for use without CarPlay including support for Pandora and Spotify over Bluetooth and parking guidelines for a backup camera.

I replaced my 4 year old double din Kenwood hu with this one to benefit from the newer upgrades. Android and Apple play are super features as are the higher resolution in the screen. Small things like improved Bluetooth and sound quality are a breath of fresh air. The system sounds much better than the previous deck and the Bluetooth is much, well, smarter than the old one. My only gripe is when I’m tethered to the unit to take advantage of the car play features I cannot use the music that is downloaded to my phone. I can use a couple music apps but I have tons of music on my phone for a reason lol. Perhaps there is a work around, I’ve not tried to figure it out yet. This deck is absolutely outstanding.

It's a very nice head unit. You can mess with the sound till your blue in the face. It sounds really good. Android auto is the bomb works really well. The cd works very good too. Overall very happy with it.

The stereo that came in my new/used 2010 jeep could barely be heard until you got to 7 on the volume. Then it went straight to concert levels. You could not go anywhere in between, so I was looking for something to connect my phone to. I go off roading, and sometimes radio stations are not very crisp. This has a CD player with works as it should, but I have a ton of music on my phone and it can be accessed via bluetooth with limited functionality, or plugged in where you can choose an album, song, artist or whatever without having to touch the phone. I use WAZE a lot as well, it it connects effortlessly.

Integrates well with precious factory systems factory installment, so far has proven easy to use, easy to navigate and just extremely satisfied with functionality, it covered all the features I wanted including integration of back up camera

Geek Squad installed this in our 2010 Toyota RAV 4. Excellent sound quality, fairly easy to use, sleek, fits in dash as perfectly as the OEM model before it. We've tried most of the options and it works great. So glad we purchased it!
