This is my 2nd Kenwood and it certainly did not disappoint. I actually have it installed in my garage, powered by a small 13 volt power supply with battery backup. The features that I am currently using are: Tuner, CD, Aux input and USB input - all easy to use and sound great. My older unit only supported Tuner and CD, so this was a nice upgrade. It has plenty of power and tone control. The remote is a nice small size and well laid out. I especially like the access door for the CD (instead of just a dust collecting open slot.) Display and color selections are extensive. I would certainly recommend this receiver for a "normal" (automobile) installation.

Bought for use in my Jeep, the blue tooth is awesome, no aux. cord to fight with anymore. There are better radios out there, but for the price this one has many features that work well. The usb and cd face cover do a great job keeping dirt and dust out. Liked it so much I bought one for my Miata.

My original Chevy Astro's stereo system finally went kaput, so I went the whole nine yards with new speakers and chose this as the audio replacement. Overall, going from an old tape deck/radio to this is quite the nice upgrade. The only thing that REALLY bugs me is, you have different display options with two lines of text (one large and one small). You can have combinations like Title (big text) and Artist (little text) or Radio Frequency (big text) and Clock (little text). But what if you want to listen to music and have the Clock in big text? No can do. The only way to have the clock be the main display is if the music/radio is off (and even then you have to adjust the settings to enable the clock to be active. Huge design flaw IMO. Also it could be my old Chevy, but the automatic clock sync didn't seem to work. Whenever I started up the car, the time would always be further and further off. Also, While the included USB port is nice for charging I found trying to use music stored on my phone and play it through USB was quite the hassle. There was seemingly no way to order or play what you want. It just plays ALL the music from ALL your albums in an unorganized, but alphabetical order. Other than that though, I'm quite happy, my local BB were really great about installing it. If you don't really care about watching the clock, this makes for a fantastic upgrade.
