It's good, i like all the display colors that your can choose from. Sound seems good. Only issue i found was with the alexa part. I downloaded the app on my phone and hooked up the Alexa, and it was ridiculous... every min or so she would interrupt wtv i was listening to and say "I didn't catch that". I had to uninstall because it didn't work right.

Compared to the Sony DSX series which I'd give 9/10, this is probably an 8. The Sony offers more power and can drive a sub. This Kenwood provides clear audio with tons of audio customization options, almost too many. The large display and volume knob keep my eyes on the road and Bluetooth pairing is consistent and easy. Interestingly, it uses a programmable timer to control the dimmer rather than a wired dimmer switch. Through the app there's a limitless selection of display colors, making it easy to match the factory look. It fits flush with a Metra double DIN kit for a super clean install.

This is a great value for the money. There are several of these styles of head units in different brands but I went with Kenwood as I've had Kenwood head units before and they have been of great quality. I'm not disappointed with how it's performed and glad I went with it. The only concern I have is that the heatsink on the back gets extremely hot if using the head unit speaker outputs. The higher end units use a fan to cool the internal amp but this one doesn't and I was worried about it overheating. I have bunch of old computer chipset heat sinks and was able to secure a descent sized one on the surface of the head unit heat sink to dissipate the heat further and it seems to have helped quite a bit and I have more confidence I won't have any issues, but I do worry that could be a problem if not addressed when running the internal amp for speakers. I may switch to an external amp down the road anyway, but for now I'm comfortable with it.

My son and I just finished restoring a 2004 Toyota Tacoma SR5 pickup truck and we wanted to upgrade the old worn out radio and sound system. We chose this radio to bring it up to today's standard. Great product!

Good news: Best price I could find for a replacement receiver for an older car. The installation is straightforward and pretty easy for anyone to accomplish. The receiver worked and sounded great with the original factory speakers in 1999 Toyota Camry. Bad news: Receiver stopped working after 4 months out of the blue. Fuses fines and power to unit OK. Unit just died. A bit of research I did online shows that the unit has issues with getting hot and is likely an issue. Should have purchased the Best Buy warranty. Kenwood warranty is a bit cumbersome and basically, I am on the hook for the cost of shipping to Kenwood Repair and then hope for the best in getting it back in a timely manner. I ended up just buying another receiver online with next-day delivery and installed. The original receiver is sitting on the floor in the garage.

Awesome radio that has awesome capabilities, but Alexa is a buggy mess. Not connecting properly and randomly entering "listening" mode with the slightest bump or whisper. Would recommended still if you have a stable car
