    Kenwood Unit Short Of Price-Justification!!

    Its suprisingly thin in depth, and has a crisp picture with vivid colors and dark contrast. However, the brightness isnt the highest and the mirror screening from phone to unit requires both an app and a usb connection!!! So much for the whole wireless streaming aspect of it all. There is an annoying welcome message that pops up every time the unit powers on even if you check the box for it not to...although this unit is good, honestly, for $230 i feel that it falls short of price justification. That is the reason for four stars and not five.

    Kenwood DMX129BT

    Good, solid radio for the price. Easy to use audio adjustments/EQ. Bluetooth works good. Pretty straight forward basic head unit with all the basic features. I’d buy again

    Kenwood Receiver with Everything & Under $200

    The Kenwood - 6.8" Bluetooth Digital Media Receiver at just under $200.00 was a very budget friendly purchase that still came with all the bells and whistles. I did end up returning this item simply because I wanted the few extras that the Kenwood DMX809S had which cost me around $600. However, most people who are looking for a very nice touchscreen receiver, for under $200, that still has all the capabilities one would generally need, I would recommend getting this one.

    Had stereo installed in my 2015 Nissan Versa and I’m very happy with the results, I would recommend PJ at the Beaumont Best Buy to install any stereo system in your vehicle.
