    Very pleased with the radio as well as the explanation I was given on the ins-and-outs of it’s compatibility in my car specifically. Only a 4-star review because I wish best buy would have listed the additional part I needed in order for the buttons on my steering wheel to connect to my radio. Overall good experience and mechanic explains everything very well!

    Kenwood deck is nice. It has a lot of features. Sounds great. It took my systems to another level. But i dont have trouble with it disconnecting. I havent figure out the android mirroring. Not super easy to use. The unlt software is a little slow. U would think it would ve more responsive. I like it but wonder how much better the next model is.

    I like this product. I don't need or know all of the features, but for what I do use - it's great! Radio, Apple Carplay. I saw reviews that the glare can be bad, but haven't had an issue yet. My car is old so I don't have the benefit of steering wheel controls or dash knobs.

    Overall, it's okay; it gets the job done. Would I buy it again? No. Take my advice make sure when you buy your next car make sure it has one of the new setups with CarPlay. It's worth spending a few extra
