I LOVE THIS STEREO

I've only had this deck for about a week but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! Sound quality is amazing especially with the aftermarket Alpine speakers I installed. I also love all the features. It links wonderfully with my iPhone and the hands free phone calls are awesome. The USB port is the best, it plays anything on my phone and charges it as well. I did though load up an 8 gig thumb drive with music which give me mega hours of listening. As other reviews stated, the menu is a bit confusing at first but not terribly. As far as the remote control goes, my first thought was who would use the remote while driving but as it turns out I use it all the time. I originally had an appointment with the Geek Squad for installation but couldn't wait so I installed it myself. My salesman set me up with all the necessary items needed to install it in my 2012 Altima. Thanks to google, I must say the install was easy. It took about two hours but that was because I chose to solder the wires on the wire harnesses instead of crimp ons. The only install issue I had was poor FM reception. Back to google only to find that I had to install the blue wire from the antenna adapter I purchased to the blue/white wire (labeled P Cont.) on the Kenwood harness. Evidently my antenna is equipped with an antenna booster which needs 12 volts. If you are thinking about purchasing this deck but can't decide, take my word for it and just buy it you'll love it. PS if you are wondering why I only rated it a 4 if I love it so much it's because I never give anything a 5.

Kenwood KDC-BT555U - Great Value

The Kenwood KDC-BT555U is a great value, providing a siginificant improvement in sound quality over the stock head-unit in my wife's Mazda 3. Installation was easy, taking about 30 minutes total including soldering.
The sound quality for phone calls over bluetooth is fairly impressive. Calls are clear without introducing any significant background noise. I would say the calls are clearer than the OEM bluetooth in my Volkswagen.
A2DP Bluetooth sound quality is as good.
There is really nothing out of the ordinary with this deck. It's a basic unit, but a solid performer. I would highly recommend purchasing if this falls within your price point

Good price, compatibility with all major sound file formats including MP3 and AAC playable on CDs and USB Flash Drive. Sounds great; choice of many lighting colors. Lots of audio control settings to really dial in your sound. Excellent compatibility with iPhone -- including Bluetooth audio (great to audiobooks) and Pandora Radio. Integrated hands-free phone system also works great with iPhone. Overall a great unit -- highly recommended.

Christmas gift for my boyfriend. His factory radio - the cd portion did not not, so i bought this. He and I both love it! It comes with a remote to easily browse music and change the volume. Plays MP3, regular cds, and easily plays music on cells phones. We have tried a windows phone and a samsung android, the s3 and it syncs wonderfully for both phone types. It has a multi changing color for the face plate or you can set it to remain on one color.IT has a usb port on the face with a small window you can use to cover it up, which i think is a great feature to keep dust out. I haven't tried pandora yet, but looking to do that soon. You don't really need the manual to work it. It very simple. I love it so much I am going to buy one for my car in the next few weeks!

I purchased this to use in an older truck I bought. The unit was easy to install and is very easy to use. I actually found it to be easier to set up than OEM bluetooth systems that have come in newer vehicles I own. The bluetooth for phone calls works great and teh streaming music from my Rhapsody account on my phone worked like a charm the first time. Quick and easy connection and great sound. The only thing I don't understand is why it comes with a remote. Maybe if it were to be installed in the back of a limousine? Great unit and controls are easy to use if you remember to use the return button to navigate. I chose this over others for control over the display brightness which I read others weren't as good at. I am not disappointed and will probably get another for a project vehicle I am working on.

This car stereo is an excellent value. Great price, loaded with features, and the sound is great. It was a very easy install and obviously the sound difference was immediate! The hands free calling and Bluetooth is incredible and was really the deciding factor for me because I was getting this for my daughters vehicle.
