    Upgraded from previous Kenwood 2018 model. Mainly upgraded to get wireless Carplay and the ability to add side view cameras for blind spot viewing. It even had the ability if used with the Maestro interface to access, view and clear engine fault codes on the fly. Only wish the display for the climate controls were upgraded from the previous model. Also with newer vehicles like mine (2015 Jeep Cherokee) this radio unlocked the track pack options that if done by the dealer would have cost over $300. This stereo paid for itself for accessing this option and having the side view/front view abilities.

    Would love to give 5 stars but cannot. The display is below average. The brightness and definition are subpar, and the glare is really bad. The audio aspects and connectivity are excellent but I wanted this unit for the GPS display as well and it's worse than my phone.

    I love the radio dual USB charge and use maps from one and listen to a USB thumb drive at the same time that it awesome. Too bad Best Buy installation didn't know how to install to get my backup camera working. I had to return it, it turns out that they forgot 1 wire to make the camera work.

    Replaced a older aftermarket unit with this one. Best Buy Geek Squad did the instal and it turned out perfect. Lots of features to include multiple camera and a superior sound once it is balanced and equalized properly.. I would recommend this Kenwood to anyone looking for an advanced unit.

    Nice, but Kenwood support is terrible

    The wireless Android Auto makes this stereo a winner. Being able to navigate and use other Android features without the need for a cable is a game-changer. Overall, it is a nice radio. That said, there are a few places where Kenwood really messed up. First, the USB port, if you plug a modern smartphone into it, will immediately go "over-current" and shut down and not even work as a data connection. While Kenwood support simply denied this is an issue, I was able to get past it with a USB power blocker. Next, loading a photo gallery onto the device from USB, if the size of the photos is not exactly what the device expects, it pans across the photo in an attempt to fit it to the screen. The exact size the image must be to have it just plain fit is not documented. Asking Kenwood support what size the image also got no answer.

    worth every penny, not only, not only because i got it on sale but because of the actual quality of this unit, the responsiveness of the screen, the clarity of it, with the additional options of navigating with mechanical buttons versus butting wear on the screen, i absolutely LOVE this unit and the value is unmatched.

    Replaced my old Kenwood (2013) with this unit and I am very happy with this one. Had the Geek Squad install it, did a fantastic job. The Apple CarPlay is all I hoped it would be. This unit has so many extras and settings that I will be able to customize to just what I want.

    Overall happy that the unit is wireless apple and android and also has wireless phone mirroring! Perfect. Only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is the screen image quality is not like HD and not as bright as a cell phone screen. I felt like the screen should glow just a tad brighter. Terrible service at the Best Buy install garage however. I have a G-Wagon and they could not figure out how to install it. I had to go to a independant audio shop for install. But besides that I recommend for the price for what you get!

    This really is a good unit, but it just didn't have what I wanted and the more I spoke and asked questions of the installer the more he caught it and midway he stopped and explained and put everything back just like he never touched it. Was really glad he was more than slightly knowledgeable and never charged me a penny. Knows I'll be back. Anyway like I said great unit for the money but didn't have the gps without plugging my phone into it.
