Customer Ratings & Reviews

Ease to use, very complete function and nice sounds from radio

I bought a Kenwood DDX5707S for my wife’s 2015 Acadia. I bought all of associated equipment to make the Best Buy installation as complete and easy as possible. Included in that purchase is an Alurateck wireless car play adapter. The radio itself is very frustrating to deal with. I was trying to auto adjust the volume which the radio says it has the ability to do yet when you follow the directions the so called menu option isn’t listed. The wireless car adapter is a waste of money. I tried it on the kenwood radio as well as my factory GM radio. I tried bringing it back to Best Buy only to be told it’s passed the 15 day return window even though the box says it’s a 1 year warranty. Very disappointed with the product and with Best Buy for not standing buy what they sell I would not recommend going to Best Buy for car audio especially if you’re looking for a turn key purchase of equipment and installation.

Radio great Geek squad not !!! Upon purchas in store the salesman ordered almost all the wrong equipment for my 2014 Ram, so waiting 2 weeks for the wrong stuff to show up and get an appointment cause they dont install on weekends, ileave my job early to drive 1hr 20 mins one way to find out almost everything was wrong for the install. So the install tech orders the right stuff, 2 weeks later again leave work early, it gets installed, Everything works great except the XM, cause we needed to transfer service, no biggie i think, get home do all that cant get no signal, 2 calls to the store to talk to the tech, leave voicemails, never returned, to the dismay of my wife i tear it apart myself, found that the antenna was still attached to the radio, ran the wire thru the glove box up the A post put it on the roof works great !!! Great radio, everthing works great as it should once its installed correctly!!

This unit works great except for one issue that may have nothing to do with this unit itself. If I am connected to android auto and my phone gets a notification, it freezes the receiver. Do not disturb mode makes no difference. When it freezes like that it won't work again until I restart the car. This only happens while using Android Auto which has to connect via USB. There are no problems streaming music via Bluetooth or using AM/FM radio. Since having this installed, I have run across several people complaining about the same problem. I have not tested the DVD player yet. One other annoyance is having to set the parking brake for certain things such as using the onscreen keyboard. I will have to find a way to modify that. I am an adult and I know when it is a proper and safe time to mess with a screen in my car.

I bought this to replace the factory unit in my 2011 GMC Sierra. So far this has been a great unit. I'm still getting used to the operation and features but the more I play with it the more I like it. The sound is great once I got the equalizer set the way I wanted it. Hands free phone is great and very clear. Now just need some new speakers and back up camera and I'll be set.

Very happy with the CD player. Looks good. Doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb. Very easy to work. Everything is right there on the screen.

Great upgrade to my truck. Works well. Connects my phone. Pandora and the map program. Oh, and it sounds great.

brings my 20 year old vehicle into the present- paired with new speakers. Good sound, good price.

Easy to use. Basic Has android auto and apple car play the plug is behind the unit. Gonna need usb extension

The radio works really well and brings out the best in my cars speakers. All features work as intended, the only reason I'm giving this product 4 stars is because sometimes when we hook an apple phone up to it Apple Play stops working until we replug it in.

Very good radio with apple carplay. No input lag and works great with my backup camera. Very good for the price!

It sounds great, a little hard to navigate at first, but that could be me. So far I’m diggin’ it!

good stereo, easy to use. clean and easy to install

I got it installed and it works like a champ. It helps I bought it from y'all at only a 3rd the market price due to buying the open box version.

Great lower end deck for Ford Expedition. Great sound with lots of options. Apple CarPlay is key.

Not sure how to keep phone connected for hands free calling. Everything is set up correctly with Bluetooth and is shows the phone as connected, but still will not make or receive calls through it. It could be user error so that is why it is a 4 star.

Great deck, loving the Android auto and features that it has. I wasn't used to the kennwood menus so you may need to look into it to get your sound eqs set correctly. Camera connection was also solid and image is great,

Works well sound is fine for me. Husband has trouble with lack of knobs but that is the way most radios are made today.

Awesome receiver. Love wireless airplay. It’s been over a month of use now and works flawlessly. Get receiver for the price. Nice to bring our older SUV into 2024!

Works well overall. It's a little clunky to not have the USB connection on the actual screen interface, and I don't love the volume buttons vs a spin wheel for example, but everything is functional.
