Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a very good radio. We are very happy with the sound and the user interface.

Love, love, love this stereo! I'm so pleased with its user-friendly layout - it's amazing. The CarPlay is incredible - who needs navigation anymore when you can use Google maps? It's incredible and the installer at Best Buy had my car out of there in 35 minutes. No lie.

Android Auto is the best thing that ever happened to car receivers. Google maps rocks. I get to use doubletwist for playing music from my phone. The voice command functions well. There were cheaper receivers but Kenwood is a great company. We had it installed at Best Buy. We added the Sirius XM unit and steering wheel controls. It sounds great. It looks great. We are very pleased.

Lots of features. Easy to install works great. Apple CarPlay is the reason I got it.

Sounds great. Thin depth made install easy. Apple Car Play is great

Excellent purchase for the price... I wasn’t looking for something to blow out my eardrums, and it proved itself a good purchase when one of the kids was rattled at a gas station and called using the hands-free phone, and talked all the way home. The Apple Car Play is a great option, and already has me hooked. It looks good with the lcds lighting up, and the screens have an intuitive layout. I would recommend this to anyone upgrading from a factory unit!

Love the Kenwood. It is taking some getting used to from factory but it is so much better than factory!

We bought this for our son’s vehicle and it was well worth the money spent. Aside from listening to music from his phone, it has options for hands free calling, back up camera option, and maps for navigation (from Google maps on his phone). The sound quality improved greatly without changing the factory speakers. Very easy to run and figure out. Great purchase.

Great sound, easy to use, lots of features, bluetooth is exceptional

Great product. The only issue I have which is preference is when it’s using the pandora app, you can’t add new stations from the receiver as there’s no search option. However, you can add a station based off the artist or genre that’s currently playing. Other than that the sound is great, easy to use, can change the colors and display if desired.

Purchased this unit for my 2010 Honda Element. WOW what a difference in sound! I will still be upgrading my speakers soon too. I love the Apple CarPlay and all the other features too. Purchased the harness adapter and fits and works perfectly. Easy as 1,2,3. Bought the extended warranty just in case because you never know!

For the price this Kenwood can't be beat. Having connections for front AND rear cameras is a solid bonus. It sounds great and is very responsive. The screen is crisp and bright. I also love the physical button to quickly get to your Apple Carplay or Android Auto interfaces.

Hands down a very good digital player for any vehicle. Powers the speakers really good with a great EQ to adjust to any speakers or music of your liking. Would easily install it in another of my vehicles

This stereo is absolutely off the chain!!!! It’s made my Yukon sound just ridiculously loud and clear. This is a great stereo and I’m glad I bought it compared to the junk I was going to buy. You pay for what you get and this was definitely worth the price.

easy to use. blue tooth great easy to see . Sounds good

Was worried with the multiple devices that the functionality would not be as good as a factory installed system. Could not be more pleased. The install process and overall functionality with the back-up camera are OUTSTANDING. Cheaper than having a dealership install a factory system and better quality.

I upgraded to this deck from my 8yr old Alpine INE-Z928HD and it is good. The interface is super easy and user friendly. The sound controls are amazing, as well as the sound. I have been having issues with Google maps when using through Android Auto. This could possibly be due to poor cellular signal, so I'm trying to isolate the problem in order to find out. Also, the Google voice is kinda weird because it doesn't pause whatever media is playing when it listening to you so it doesn't copy what you say accurately. I don't know if this is because of something else; maybe a setting or issue with installation. I had it installed by Best Buy so I will be taking it in to get these things figured out. All in all, I am pleased with this deck.

I have a 2012 Jetta, which still runs great and have no desire to replace anytime. I mean, who likes a car payment. I have wanted a car play and a more "tech" interface for awhile. This Kenwood went on sale and I got 12-months no financing so I pulled the trigger. I have had the unit for about 24 hours and absolutely love it. The screen is responsive, the colors bright. I was impressed how much better my stereos sound. Geek Squad did a great job installing. It looks professional and I am happy with how they placed the USB cable and Bluetooth microphone. Only two complaints (not enough to lower my score). They did not have the tuner for satellite radio, so we had to order that for install (not charging labor though) and the screen can wash out during sunny days.

This is a must have for all the advances in car technology. My car gets great gas mileage so I won't need a new car for a long time. This has blue tooth, Android auto, SiriusXM, back up cam compatible, and clear picture for navigation. I love this receiver. I highly recommend it!

I wanted everything at my fingertips, radio (SiriusXM), GPS, phone, contacts. I’ve always like Kenwood products so I took another leap of faith and went Kenwood again. It works great. Played with it a couple days and I now feel totally comfortable with all features. Good price - fabulous deal!
