Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Kenwood unit was installed into a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. The unit works as designed and we are very pleased with it. The installation was not too difficult once we located the appropriate harness from Crutchfield.

Great Receiver,, couldn't ask for a better one maybe bigger one but I like this one

fit into my 2009 slk very well and now gives me android and apple Compatability

I purchased this for a 2010 Chevy Camaro. Great upgrade.

Both this Kenwood and had it for one week love the way how it makes my cheap oem speakers sound so great. Then I traded it for the Alpine ilx-w650 because my friend told me it was better but no matter how much I move the settings couldn’t get it to sound the same as the Kenwood. After 3 days I returned it back and got the same Kenwood again and dang what a difference plus you can watch movies on the usb drive and has video output and the Alpine doesn’t.

With the chip shortage in dash infotainment systems are really limited. This wasn't my first choice but I am really glad that one sold out while in my basket. This Kenmore brand is really nice. Easy to use, connects to Android Auto like a breeze. My kids like the changing colors on the buttons and dash backgrounds. Installation by Geek Squad was great. Totally recommend.

the audio system that was installed sounds Great! and the added backup Camera is Awesome! and the installation is Tight! Hidden / Professional ! my only thing is .. and it might be me is ..that this receiver is somewhat difficult for me to use to its fullest potential . i have an older Kenwood Receiver in my other truck that i am more familiar / comfortable with , so perhaps in time ' i will learn and can adjust.

The unit is very good. Sound quality extremely good. Ease of use is a 4/5. CarPlay feature is a must! Great experience with Best Buy install group. They helped with a demo and even followed up after. Only problem so far is that there seems to be a problem with XM Radio when utilizing CarPlay. When you select something on CarPlay from your phone, XM Radio cuts out. You are then required to go back to the menu and “turn on” XM again.

Great radio. Easy to put in. Amazing quality!!!!!!

This stereo receiver is awesome! Its at a perfect price point, its good quality. The hands free microphone that comes with it is awesome, you can be clearly heard by Siri and phone conversations. I mainly got it for the CarPlay but this thing is an all around good buy. Good job Kenwood

But this stereo for my vehicle and I greatly enjoy. It has a great sound that emits from it

This is a great product overall, with all of the features and functions you need. You won’t be disappointed in this unit, especially with the middle of the road price point. You can’t beat it. Pros: 7” screen is bright and crisp with vibrant colors. The transitions between screens are great too, and the screen is very responsive for a resistive touch screen. Kudos to Kenwood for offering custom backgrounds as well. The sound and EQ settings are are easy to navigate and adjust, making it pain-free to find your perfect sound settings. Apple Car-Play also works seamlessly. I should also mention that if you have a factory backup cam, it not only works great with this unit but the resolution is excellent. Cons: There aren’t many, and none of them should be deal breakers, just things you should be aware of. When you start your car, Bluetooth takes between 20-30 seconds to connect, which is much longer than the factory radio. Also, when streaming music, there is a delay when trying to skip through tracks (i.e., when you press the button for the next track, sometimes it takes 2-3 seconds to change). Oddly, this doesn’t happen in Car-Play. Lastly, and this is probably the case for most head units, the glare on the screen in the daytime is pretty rough. Additionally, depending mainly on your background choice, the screen can be distractingly bright at nighttime. Overall, those cons are all minor issues and I would definitely recommend this unit. Also, I would highly advise Geek Squad installation if you don’t have experience with car audio installation. My install was clean and flawless, and only took about 1.5 hrs to complete from start to finish. The tech even walked me through the features and helped me set up my Bluetooth and personal settings. A+ to Geek Squad for a job well done.

The technician at BB recommended this model and mentioned that of all the available units, this is the best for the price. Very happy with the head unit... great display, car play is awesome and sounds great granted I switched out my speakers as well. Happy with the purchase and excellent install

The apple car play is flawless. It works well with the back up camera that was also purchased in store. It highly improved the sound quality of the factory speakers. I'll need to purchase a subwoofer soon.

I love this radio. Love all the features such as equalizer, bass controls, apple play, and its display. The sound on my vehicle sounds so much better due to this unit. If there was something to improve on would be the touchscreen’s responsiveness. Truly love it.

I decided to sell my newer vehicle and paid cash for an older vehicle with less bells & whistles in order to no longer have a car payment. So glad I did that! To compensate for some of the lost bells & whistles, I upgraded the head unit of my 2011 Nissan Rogue to this Kenwood and I have been quite satisfied. Apple CarPlay is great, especially being able to use Waze on the big screen along with being able to browse through Podcasts or Spotify with ease. My factory backup camera was able to hook up directly to this head unit after buying a special adapter. There is also an adapter to hook up steering wheel controls for my vehicle, but those were not that important to me so I have not done that yet. This unit is miles and away better than the factory unit that I had in my 2016 Subaru WRX. I'm not mad about it! If you can buy this unit on sale for $330 or less, I would say it's a great buy.

This is amazing and it brings all my speakers amp and bass underseats together producing amazing sound I’m so happy with the ease of use and flawless apple CarPlay and Bluetooth and installation was very well done .

I love my new radio. I recently had it installed and it works great! It’s easy to navigate, it has Apple CarPlay which is all I use and one really awesome feature is the OBD2 capabilities. You can check the codes right from your stereo whenever your check engine light is on and you can also reset the codes too. I had a gas cap code the kept me from being able to use my remote start on my Jeep Wrangler. I was able to reset it straight from my radio! It’s amazing! I am very satisfied with it and I would most definitely recommend it!!! Also includes free installation with purchase! What an great all-around experience!

Outstanding Kenwood Head Unit! Has every feature to fully update your car system. Easy installation, Android Auto and Apple Car Play work seamlessly. Amazing sound quality and the custom EQ is a plus. Can't go wrong with this Kenwood

This radio for the price is a very good buy it is a good quality radio touch screen and the Bluetooth works perfect on it not to mention it is slim compared to most double din radios so there is less chance of cutting and so on sound quality is great
