    The installation guys broke the clips on my wood trim on my stereo . Now the bottom part just hangs out and he blamed it on the meters kit, but when I got my speakers professionally installed, they told me the clips were broken. Also the item didn’t have a knob. It is a touch screen and have to click the screen, and the steering wheel volume buttons don’t work either.

    Unit screen appears somewhat dim, especially during the day. Also, sound playback was poor. Android Auto experience was good.

    I’m very unimpressed with this radio. My radio had great signal before installing this and after install there’s barely any signal. Geek squad tried to fix it and put a new one in and it still didn’t work. It’s also not very user friend to figure out how to navigate.

    Sonically and value driven

    Good CarPlay media radio, inputs are wonderful and plenty of power like my previous one. Now it’s been hooked up at Best Buy with a steering wheel kit and works well. The 3 rca cords factory made easy transition into a 5 channel amp. Sounds good, controls are intuitive and CarPlay is the reason I got it. Highly recommended. Maybe an Alpine may be better, I don’t know, but if any indication of longevity, my other kenwood is still running great. Only downside is that it’s not cd player. I could have sprung for it, but didn’t. There’s always thumb drives.

    I installed this myself with a little help, I'm not real tech savvy.. Its a nice unite better than the stock unite I had.  One thing I'm still trying to figure out is how to get the scan button to work.  He** I maybe pressing the wrong button..  lol    I was a little disappointed at the extent of the modifications I had to make getting it to fit in my dash, thank God for epoxy.  I have an 20+ year old Dodge Ram..
