Answered by Kenwood Product Expert
- A: AnswerI can tell you this is wireless not wired when connecting to the phone. As to your other questions, this will depend on the interface box you purchase in addition to the unit. You'll need to get with your installer and check reviews for the interface unit against your specific vehicle. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionWill thos replace 2018 suburu outback system(1 answer)
A: AnswerYou need to check for compatibility first meaning does it fit in the space you have in your car then you need to buy the required harness for the radio and your vehicle so it will become a plug and play. Many of the car audio installer will do that for you including Best Buy, but you need to speak with the installer at the store. Now, if you are planning to change the radio, you must change the speakers as well; otherwise, it would be pointless.Answered by Jurafel19

This product is excellent! Makes my 2008 Corolla feel like a new car haha. Did the Best Buy free installation and they did a great job! Highly recommend.

92 Camaro
Great option to add Car Play to a 92 Camaro! Bought this car for my 16 year old with only 22,000 original miles and wanted her to be able to use hands free for calls, navigation and music.

Nice head unit
This works pretty well. Touchscreen is responsive enough, plays music loud. However, GPS tracking when parked is really weird and sometimes the audio cuts out.
