    This stereo was a great surprise - got this stereo on clearance from Best Buy at a great price. The dual Cell phone Bluetooth connection is a wonderful feature in this stereo. Great sound and easy to set-up.

    This is a pretty nice radio, Has some great features and sounds great. I purchased some Kenwood 3-way speakers to complete the system and I am satisfied with the sound quality. I installed it in my wife's XL7 and she is "loving every minute of it!" Easily paired to her cell phone and the 2 USB jacks are a plus.

    I love the sound with this receiver it is so crisp. easy to install. bought it for my Jeep patriot. The stereo in the Jeep left a lot to be desired. But the installation was relatively easy once you cut the old stabilizer bar out of the Jeep.

    This head unit has just about every option I was looking for. HD radio, pandora, iheartradio, usb front and back, Sirius ready (needs module) and more. The only downside to the unit is it is clunky to operate. I've had it in the car for a number of weeks and I'm just now getting comfortable with the controls. I figured out a new one yesterday that helps a bunch. The reading of usb has been hit and miss for two days, but that could be the interface I'm using. I'll reset that tomorrow and see if the hiccup goes away. It was fine until I added a remote start for a subwoofer. Anyway, it's a cheap alternative to a touch screen and it offers everything the touchscreen does except a back up camera and the touch. With the clearance price as well as a bunch of rewards, I got the unit for next to nothing. How can I complain about that.

    the average person is going for a DVD/BD LCD combo unit these days. Nothing is wrong with those units at all but I wanted a more affordable unit from a trusted company and this is the car stereo that is affordable and focused on audio.

    I like this in-dash audio unit very much, with one exception: in daylight, it can be difficult to read the display. It's OK, but I wish it were brighter. At night or in dim daylight, it's fine. It has all the functions I need, and then some. A little cumbersome to set up parameters initially, since it doesn't have a touchscreen, but once set up it's great!

    Excellent am/fm signal compared to other models. I researched and compared touch screen models and decided that the issues on the "fancy" models were just not worth it. This stereo works as described. The sound on the speaker phone is typical for any speaker phone device. Works great for voice to text. Works great to listen to songs from my phone, pandora and Sirius app. It is hard to see with polarized sunglasses and in direct sun as most stereos are. Glare isn't as bad as the other reviews described. The sound is great and my husband was impressed by the sound adjustments.

    This is a good basic car stereo for replacing the original outdated manufacturer product. It comes with updated functionalities such as bluetooth, HD radio, and 2 USB ports. Works well with Apple iPhone. I installed it on my 2005 Honda CR-V.

    Quite disappointing

    This radio has so many limitations. It can't play large files of mp3's and it's only set up to work with android. I'm really disappointed with the interaction with my windows phone. Sure, I get the blue tooth connection but my friends tell me it's horrible and none of the apps will work (like pandora) unless I launch them on the phone first and then connect to blue tooth. I expected better from Kenwood.

    The display looks great, but control isn't quite as intuitive as I had hoped. Definitely needed the instruction manual for this one -- which is fair, of course.

    This radio is an amazing option for those looking to replace the OEM double din radio in their vehicle. It is loaded with features and retains a kind of classy look to it. CON: I would have to say the Brightness is the only con here. You can counter this by making Both Areas white by going into custom RGB and setting all the colors to 9.
