Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the Bluetooth connectivity and sound quality as top features of this Kenwood in-dash digital media receiver. Many appreciate its ease of use and installation. However, some users find the brightness of the display and buttons to be excessive at night, and the lack of a CD player is noted by a few. Overall, the positive feedback on sound and Bluetooth outweighs the concerns about brightness and the absence of a CD player.

    For an entry level Bluetooth stereo, this is Great! Then factor in that it is a Kenwood, even better. Quality is good, and has a lot of features. Very user friendly and easy to navigate. Only thing that could be better is to have more pre-outs!

    I bought the unit for an older vehicle because I wanted to use bluetooth and HF for calls and music. Would recommend use of scrutiny when searching for newer model of this unit because this model does not support XM radio.

    If you want to update your car stereo this is the one to get. It has all of the modern needs. USB, Bluetooth and a remote. It's hands free and no skipping when you hit a bump. The sound is fantastic and the price.......INSANE. Get it it's a good one.

    You can't beat what you get in features from this radio for the price. The only thing it doesn't have is a cd player but I don't use cds anymore. Great radio would recommend to anyone.

    I purchased this stereo on sale, it was only $69.99 when I bought it and so far I'm really happy with it, the Bluetooth connects to my phone automatically and I love the option of the USB port and the audio jack, also the fact that when plugged into USB or connected via Bluetooth you can control iTunes, Spotify, Pandora and I heart radio, the controls are very simple but some of settings are a little confusing, but nothing that can't be figure out. The integrated microphone is a nice touch, but when finding a good location for the microphone will take a few tries.

    I bought this for my 16 year old son. He wanted a stereo that would work with his Ipod touch 5. This has so may bells and whistles! This car stereo glows blue. My son loves it. You can't find this car stereo with the bluetooth and other accessories cheaper anywhere!! (Trust me I researched it!)

    This is a great receiver. The USB and Bluetooth both work great and I use them daily. My only gripe with it is that there is no way to adjust the brightness of the buttons. You don't notice it in broad daylight but at night it's maddening bright blue glaring at you. The hands-free microphone isn't great but I guess that's the case with most inexpensive aftermarket units.

    Purchased for my son for Christmas. Had installed in Florida best buy store near where he works. The remote control did not work out of box and as of yet has not been resolved that I am aware of. Told my son to speak with store mr there I sent him copies of my online purchase with best buys. Also told him to contact Kenwood customer service to see what to do. Should be replaced as not working right out of box. Hope he gets working and enjoys radio. All my experience till now with best buys has been good.

    Who needs a CD player nowadays? Hands free to boot? The price is great and a very nice layout for the faceplate.
