This is the media receiver you are looking for.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This review is what I love about this radio. It has am/fm and SiriusXM. You can connect through Bluetooth or usb cable. The USB cable allows you to use Carplay/Android Auto. It has customizable backgrounds and accent light colors, an equilizer, and Crossfader controls. If you have a subwoofer, you can control the sub independently from the other speakers. There have been a few instances on Bluetooth where certain songs I played on Google Play had no sound. I have not yet found the cause of this. I suspect it may be the new Android 10 update. I had this issue for about an hour, then it would not replicate. I am so happy with my purchase. I decided between this and the Sony XAV, choosing this because of the high customizability.

I really like this stereo
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I love this stereo a lot due to the convenience it provides me with CarPlay. However, I’m not good at adjusting how the music sounds. Thus, all the audio settings it has is super confusing for someone like me. I eventually figured it out after a couple weeks. That’s the only con I have found about this stereo so far.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Kenwood - 7" - Android Auto, had Best Buy install it. For the 2019 RAM 1500 there was a couple of factory glitches, but they were over come, and everything works as it should. Looks and functions great, and gave my RAM truck a nice upgraded look. It looks like it's factory installed,

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs there a certificate for the free install, or how does that work? Install kit included? Thanks
Asked by Lew.
- A:Answer If it says “free install” on the page, then Best Buy will install for free IN MOST SITUATIONS. Make sure to consult the install tech first, because that free installation covers 1 hr of labor. Therefore, if you have a vehicle with complicated or complex wiring or build that makes it take longer than an hour, you will still be coming out of pocket for some install fees. For your second question, the costs do not include the dash kit, so you will have to buy that as well (from Best Buy or on your own). Additionally, your specific vehicle may also require other equipment, such as a steering wheel interface module and antenna adapter. This is where your costs start to pile up. For my install this extra equipment was over $400. Again, this will be specific to your vehicle, so it may come out to far less. I’d advise you to speak with a Best Buy rep. They can plug in your car info and tell you exactly what everything will cost.

Q: QuestionDoes this radio work with wireless Android Auto?
Asked by Me.
- A:Answer Android Auto on this fine receiver requires a usb to whichever port cable your phone has in order to work. Google assistant allows some hands free tasks which are limited. I had the usb cable installed in my glove box. I connect the phone and close the glove box and I'm good to go for mapping software, music streaming (Pandora/Skype), phone calls, etc. While this is not a wireless receiver, at this price point, it's a good deal. You can still go bluetooth for music, etc if you wish. Also, I use Waze for mapping and subscribe to Pandora Premium. It's a breeze to connect your phone and both apps are already loaded and ready on the touch screen before I commute. Inbound text messages and other notifications alert you on screen. You can have the text read to you and reply hands-free. I'm still new to this and there may be more, but I love this receiver. Has a built-in adjustable EQ which will enhance the sound of your music compared to a standard manufacturer's receiver. At the end of the day, I have no cables present on my dashboard and I appreciate the clean look combined with all the features I expect.

Q: QuestionDoes this model come with a back up camera included?
Asked by Racf7.
- A:Answer If your vehicle has a backup camera it will allow it to be reconnected through the maestro adapter. My backup camera was factory in my rear view mirror. It does not have an independent camera to install with the unit.

Q: QuestionIt says Gps integrated...... does this mean the gps is built in ?
Asked by Steve.
- A:Answer It’s misleading... this unit does not have a built in GPS, but if you’re using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, their GPS/maps feature can be be used on the touchscreen.

Q: QuestionMy car has dual usb ports beneath dash. Can the usb in rear of this Kenwood be connected directly to these ports instead of using a cable extended thru the glove box?
Asked by 1stteam.
- A:Answer It can, but you have to use the correct wiring harness to allow that to happen. The connection from the factory installed USB port to the factory radio is not a typical USB cable. It will be a cable with a small plastic connector on one end that goes into the back of the factory radio. The other end leads to your factory USB connection. Assuming you are installing it yourself, what you will need to do when removing the factory radio and all the plugs behind the stereo is to determine which cord is that USB connection. You will be able to easily determine this when you attach your new USB connection harness (that you will need to purchase separately) to that plug/connection. This new harness will then plug into the Kenwood's USB cable which runs from the back of that radio. Metra makes this for several car manufacturers including my Toyota Tacoma. Best Buy will either have this connection in stock or they can order it for you. If Best Buy is installing the stereo for you. you will need to tell them that you wish to use the factory USB, or they may just run the Kenwood's USB cable to your glove box, permanently disabling that factory USB port in your car. This harness is an inexpensive part, typically around 10-12 dollars and the installation of it should be included in the labor of a Best Buy-installed stereo, because in most instances this takes about 30 seconds to complete. One word of caution - this is my second Kenwood car stereo. In 2017, I purchased a Kenwood deck and had some issues with this USB harness, as it would not allow enough power to be drawn from the phone to allow Android Auto to work . It was a known issue by Google. Fast forward to 2019, I used this same connector and I have not had the same issue - though I have heard some inconsistencies still remain, depending on the car. You will get the most consistent performance plugging your phone directly into the Kenwood's supplied USB connection, but for 10-12 dollars, in my opinion, its worth a shot to see if you can maintain your factory USB port.

Q: QuestionI had this stereo installed in my 2016 Rogue by Best Buy this week. The controls on my steering wheel that skip forward and back do not work and on the other side, my Bluetooth start and end call don't work. What could be wrong?
Asked by KTFW.
- A:Answer Best Buy probably sold you the wrong part. They had done this with me to the point were i would never go back to them for installation.
