Bang for your buck!
Big time bang for your buck. It’s a great head unit. Put it in my 2018 titan and love it. Be sure you realize most head units in this price range are car play VIA USB CORD! If you’re ok with that you’ll love it. If you’re installing it yourself like I did the usb cord is hardwired into the back of the unit and is probably 6 feet.

Tremendous sound and Best Buy install!
A sales person for Best Buy suggested this Kenwood DMX7709S unit for my 2009 Honda Accord EXL coupe. I did some research myself but kept coming back to this unit by Kenwood due to its quality name history, and I am so very glad that I took his advice! This unit coupled with my existing Bose speakers was exactly the right choice. Best Buy sales listed the parts that I needed for the installation and made an appointment for my local store.The techs were extremely knowledgeable and friendly and so easy to work with! The result completely blew me away. This unit proved to be powerful, full of quality and richness, I was completely thrilled with the outcome once installed. It took me back 14 years ago to the day I purchased my car, in fact, I have to say the stereo sound has never been so great! From purchase to finished product everything turned out seamless and could not have been better!  Best Buy completely knocked it out of the park for me, and I am extremely happy with the results. I did also purchase the back up camera which they installed as well, and the system works flawlessly. It is as if my 2009 accord has been transfigured, just like a brand new model car! For a medium priced unit, this Kenwood is outstanding, and I would highly recommend you look at Kenwoods that fit your car’s size and needs. I’ve had the unit installed for about a week, and I could not be happier with the results! To take a 2009 model car and transform it to be hands-free, and filled with sound that packs a punch is well worth the price! I’m thrilled with my purchase, and all the help Best Buy gave me to have a professional, neat installation and hands free car play with sound that can’t be beat! Awesome job, Best Buy!

Great sound and features, terrible glare
Like others have started, this is probably the best bang for the buck in aftermarket name brand head units capable of Android Auto. The capacitive touch instead of being resistive touch alone makes it stand out over other units in this price range. I purchased an open box excellent for $319, and it is worth every penny. Also pairs well with the Motorola wireless dongle for a true wireless experience. Only negative is that glare. It is brutal. Even on a cloudy day, I couldn't take a photo for this review without you seeing the backside of my phone for the photo. There are settings to change the viewing angle by 5% increments, and in my case maxing the setting out to favor the drivers side makes a decent impact. But still, pretty poor screen/glass quality compared to what's factory in most automobiles today. And if you're driving with sunglasses on, forget it. Even at maximum brightness, the screen may as well be off.
