Customer Ratings & Reviews

Always been a fan of kenwood since high school, and for the features and functions you get, the price is right. I Installed the unit with no problems, and it works great.

Amazing price for this stereo along with installation. This stereo has all the whistles and bells on It.

My Installer for this unit, was "Chris". He was great ! Super knowledgeable, very friendly and a true professional. Chris is a definite asset to Best Buy, and Geek Squad ... Thanks again Chris. Realtor Mark. :)

Love this radio and the external mic comes in handy in my Jeep with the top down.

My 1994 car did not have an audio jack and only way to play music from mobile device was via cord to cassette player. So I wanted an upgrade with Bluetooth, satellite radio, and installation of microphone for hands free phone capability. This Kenwood radio produces great sound and has many options to adjust sound. Geek Squad rep lead me in the right direction to Chris, the Auto technician, who recommended the radio. Chris offered to install radio on the spot. While there were some unavoidable delays with installation (my car needed special wiring to install the new radio), Chris was excellent and provided class A customer service. Only criticism is that the Kenwood remote app that can be used with radio is not very good. Very satisfied with product and experience.

I would have given it 5 stars except the buttons are small and you have to push the same button to get to the device you want as opposed to standalone buttons for at least the radio and maybe the usb. Those points aside, this is an outstanding radio for the money. Sound quality is excellent and highly customizable. The rear usb has a long cable allowing you to install it where you want it, and not having it on the front of the unit allows for a larger display as compared to the front USB model. Bluetooth works perfectly. Hands-free mic is a plus. I had mine installed on the pillar. The display colors are all customizable. I matched mine to the nearby dash buttons. The radio reception is much better than my old factory unit, which I always found to be better than many other newer cars I rent from time to time, so it's really good. We have terrible AM reception in Florida, but it locks on and sounds good. Hard to believe you get all this for a little over a hundred bucks. It was installed in a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan.

Purchased for my daughter and son-in-law for their boat. Easy install, sounds great, fit perfectly and the color matches the dash, and it syncs with their phones for Bluetooth music.

If you're not too familiar with car stereo installs, don't worry... neither are the sales associates at Best Buy. First, let me say, the stereo itself is great, bluetooth functions well with my S9+, sound whatmy with equalizer is good. I'm still learning all the ins and outs of every option, but so far I like it. NOW, back to the sales... the guys were friendly enough, but not the most knowledgeable, even with the help of the computer system. I initially purchased a double DIN (this one is single, and still not sure what those mean), with the mounting hardware and harness system (choosing an extra $100+). However, when I arrived for my install, the tech (who was more knowledgeable, and helpful) told me that he'd have to cut away behind the dash to get the stereo to fit in my car (eventhough the sales associates looked up my car in their system and said it would fit), which is an extra $25 custom work, plus an additional hour job, and I'd have to reschedule. They also sold me the wrong antenna, which the installer was able to getthe right over. Living 45minutes away, rescheduling was not an option... so I picked this model out, which fit in my car (2010 Charger) without cutting anything, looks good, and has all the functions as the other, in just a smaller faceplate. In the end I saved over $60 to switch stereos and still basically got what I wanted. Long story short, great buy, but be prepared for extra... time and money above just the cost of the stereo.

I've had it for a couple weeks now. Using it in a work truck so sound quality and competing noises are critical. Sound is good with lots of bells/whistles to keep things interesting like the bluetooth, data, and Spotify features. USB front charging is nice. The keys to make things do what you want them to are a little small and there is certainly a learning curve to behave like your last stereo. The instructions for functioning the stereo is very lackluster so a 1 minute review of them ... then playing around with your new stereo will be best.

Really good. Sounds great, pairs with the phone...hands free calling works great. Easy enough to hit buttons and make work.

I purchased this deck a few weeks ago. One of the things I first noticed is that that digital clock is SUPER SMALL. It's almost worthless. I am an older guy, but I think a lot of people will struggle with seeing the clock. Other than that, I use it primarily for Bluetooth applications, which it does work good for. I would of given it 5 stars for the price, except for the clock. I did contact the manufacturer just to ensure I wasn't missing some setting about the clock, and I was told that's the size it is.

It has good sound quality, and the bluetooth functions work well with my Android phone, for the most part. When set to Pandora, the screen flashes "Reading" while the songs plays, but switch to BT Audio and the Correct info is displayed.. Clock is too small to read, but that's not a big deal to me..

Love this deck looks great sounds great. Has alot of nice features. Bluetooth works great and sounds great. I like the separate audio control button. Makes changing audio controls real fast and easy. Unlike most decks that have the audio controls clumped in with all the other settings. Easy to read in bright sunlight also! full read out for the XM and fm stations. It has the aux input and usb input on the rear of the deck I would rather have them on the front but really no big deal. I thought this was a excellent buy with the free Bestbuy install. They really did a great job. Love it!

I have not bought a head unit for a decade or so. This unit has all of the features I was looking for. The Bluetooth works well so far although in was expecting at least bt4.0 or 4.1 by this time. One thing I do not like is having to scroll through all of the many input sources repeatedly. It would be cool to only list the sources that one uses . Generally it’s a nice unit. The salesman never made the installation appointment for me Iike he said he did. That cost an extra 10 day wait for a total of 30 days. However the actual installer Miguel was great and very helpful. They need to clone him and spread the clones around the company.

Good sound quality and easy to use features. The only issue I had with this stereo was that you cant control the song from phone while using Spotify app. You have to use the head unit to change the songs which is not at all a good option. I had to disable Spotify on the head unit and then it works fine. It is a simple workaround though. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase and would recommend getting this if you are on a budget and just need to play music in the car.

Ordered this for my college student daughter who bought a used car that needed a radio. Music is important to her so she wanted to be able to get something affordable that also had the safety on hands free calling & Bluetooth using her phone. she loves this radio and has had no problems with it at all. We had the guys at Best Buy in Kalamazoo install it and they did an excellent job.

The Kenwood has in-dash CD receiver, built in Bluetooth, satellite ready and detachable. It is a great radio with all the latest tech accessories. I love it!

Excellent value. Easy to install. Sounds great. Would not hesitate to buy another.

The sound is pretty good! Easy to connect to phone via Bluetooth or usb or aux!! Lots of display options and easy to use.

Since price, installation and performance of product, i'm very satisfied for the appearance and has everything that i expected.
