Customer Ratings & Reviews

Solid sound and easily learned interaction. Works well with backup camera.

Almost perfect. Bright, colorful and responsive screen. I love the Apple CarPlay on long trips and the many apps the stereo has. SiriusXM was simple to connect. The only issues are that it sometimes forgets your mobile phone via Bluetooth and that you have to restart it to get Apple CarPlay to activate, every now and then. CarPlay is not wireless. Installation is a breeze, but you’ll NEED a Maestro with the proper flash for OE button use, as well as auto dimming and such.

Kenwood radios has always been good so I’m not surprise on the features and the quality of this radio

This was bought for my son's 4runner. It sounds great and has all the features we were looking for like Bluetooth.

Does everything it says it will, sounds great. Works perfect for an upgrade ok a Jeep JK.

My first Kenwood after being a staunch Pioneer buyer, always owning a double-din touch screen 6-7". The most notable differences are sometimes the least obvious, like the things that "don't" get in the way of using it. I always found the Pioneer touch screen to be flaky, and the Kenwood is as good as my smartphone. The Kenwood is feature-rich. The sound shaping capabilities (EQ, crossover, time alignment, and staging) are thorough if not exhaustive. You can get lost in these controls to the point of creating a mediocre environment. Easy to initialize and start over until you get it right. If you're going to use the Kenwood crossovers, which are good, bypass or minimize any amplifier crossover controls. Pioneer has long had an excellent iPod and USB library navigation. This is one thing Kenwood could improve on. I'm still figuring some things out, but it always seems I'm pressing 2-3 more functions, or being returned to the top of the alphabetical list whenever I go back up a level. And the indexing of my library while faster w/ Kenwood, is more succinct with Pioneer. But Wow, the Kenwood/Android Auto functions are outstanding! I'm sure Pioneer has caught up somewhat, but their earlier bleeding edge app releases were horrid! My biggest gripe with this Kenwood or any other units would be providing only ONE USB port. Give me a second USB so I don't have to switch between my phone and jump drive. Android Auto could provide better options for accessing music on my phone.

Excellent sound quality, great display that can be customized. Great sound on my phone when I make a call....

This is user friendly and easy to navigate. Great sound and affordable. I’m enjoying this radio very much

Great screen. Easy to program. Significant improvement in the quality of sound.

Mainly got it for Andriod Auto, works great, lots of nice features. Price was definitely worth it.

The radio works well and the technician that installed it was very Buick and professional. I am disappointed with the fact that they were to watch for it to come back in stock and let us know when it could be purchased, but they never did and I had to let them know it could now be purchased for them to order it. It also infuriates me that you can’t call the store but physically go there since no one answers the phone!

Everything about it is pretty clean and easy to use, apple Carplay is for sure my favorite.

this has been a game changer! easy to use. sounds fantastic and the hands free is great!!

Amazing radio and backup camera!!! Easy to use, just what we needed. Perfect size

Well worth the money! If your interested in a quality aftermarket stereo with Apple-car Play, look no further. This car stereo Apple-car play feature is awesome! Best car stereo I have ever had. I am very pleased. Also, I would recommend this car stereo to everyone looking for a quality deck with the AppleCar play feature.

I primarily got this for the Android Auto feature. I have only had it for one day, but love it. The user interface is intuitive and very responsive! I had the geeksquad install it. It's a little too recessed, due to a crack in my dash bezel. The unit text and images are sharp. Radio reception is fantastic, Audible sounds amazingly clear. Now I can tell I need to replace the speakers next!

Overall, this radio works for me. The radio has all the basics I need. It works with Android auto and you can Bluetooth your phone. While using Android auto, your phone is hooked up to the radio by a USB/charging wire, so that means you are charging your phone at the same time. My backup camera still works. It has cool graphics. The monitor is the perfect size for me.

I researched for months for an upgrade to my 2012 Mustang's existing factory stereo. This Kenwood really delivered a much improved audio experience. Apple CarPlay works perfectly as does the addition of SiriusXM. I was curious if there would be any sound quality difference moving from the factory unit to this Kenwood. I'm happy to say I'm very impressed with the sound of this Kenwood receiver. I highly recommend this receiver.

First off I’ll say that Best Buy was easy to deal with. They installed the head unit and it only took about an hour. Only issue is that I was told when I bought it that they would hook up my rear view camera that is now on my rear view mirror through the head unit. They didn’t do that. They told me it would cost more money. Not a big deal but I was a little disappointed. I have only had the unit about a month now so we will see what the future brings. It’s working good so far except for one issue that just started yesterday. I am running an amp and subwoofer along with the rest of my speakers. I have had trouble a couple times with all of my speakers except my sub cutting out completely. I’m not sure if it’s an issue with the head unit or maybe the wiring harness. If the problem persists I will be headed back to Best Buy to let them figure it out. That is why I’m only giving the unit three stars. I may come back and update my review if anything changes. The deck has great features and I hope the problem doesn’t persist because everything else works great. The sound on my stock speakers is great when they aren’t cutting out.

Exactly what I was looking for easy to use. Car play is great on this kenwood!!
