Radio is awesome . . .
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This radio was purchased for an older car and I love it. It has colors that change, brings our older vehicle into a newer decade. Only had one issue that it needed resetting and the guys at Best Buy did it and we are all set. Great service.

Great value and product, couple of issues.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking to replace my faulty and non Bluetooth OEM radio but not break the bank. I have had Kenwood before and found them to be very reliable so went with this model. Had a known local install done for less than GS were charging. Radio is clear and a nice sound without having to mess with the EQ. BT works great and clear even with windows down (put mic by instrument cluster not out in the open). Streaming music from my phone is excellent and also like the ability to add XM. Issues I found were 1. In bright or direct sunlight even with brightness at highest setting sometimes impossible to read display without shielding screen with your hand. Then at night now too bright as had set on highest brightness! 2. Some features are not very indicative of easy operation with many steps. I read a lot of the reviews and noted some of the other complaints before buying and have found that actually they are not a radio issue (no manual tuning etc.) if you READ the instructions the radio will do what you need, just need to find right menu and key strokes to set! Overall very pleased with it given my 2 issues.

The display needs to be brighter, but that's it
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just got the unit installed yesterday. The only complaint I have so far is that the display isn't very bright. Even with the brightness turned all the way up, I was unable to read it late yesterday while driving. From a usage standpoint, the menus make sense and sound quality seems solid. I'm using it with an iPhone 6+ playing music with iSub. I've had one phone disconnect - which was strange, but so far seems like an isolated event. I've talked to a couple of people using the included mic and with the gain at about +6, they can hear me just fine.

Nice for the price.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this after looking at several in store models and for the price I felt it had a lot of great features. The Pandora and iHeart radio will not connect unless you switch it from those listed source and use the BT button. Why have separate buttons for these features if they won't connect to the right source? I also find it extremely difficult to read whats on the screen during daytime. It has multiple colors to choose from but none are visible on a bright day. The operation of the radio is difficult, especially for those not technically savvy, I consider myself quite savvy consider I am a gadget person and this one has proved to be challenging. I had the SiriusXM Haddon installed, I've on several occasion have lost the signal for no reason (not cloudy or under a bridge, etc.). I had my own external radio but thought this would be a great way to clear my view while looking out of my windshield and I never lost connection anywhere near as I have with this one and the technician placed the antenna in actually a better spot on my car than I had mine so it confuses me why it just goes out. For the positive the clarity is great for radio stations, I've not used the CD player because I have everything on my iPhone 6 plus. I am impressed with the quality of phone calls when I get them, everyone I've spoken to while in my car are surprised when I'm telling them I'm using the bluetooth connectivity, they say it sounds as though I am talking to them as with the phone to my ear. Also, when I am talking to them it's as clear as can be and I don't have to raise my voice to make sure they can hear me. Great job on that feature. I would suggest to the manufacturer work on the visibility of whats on playing on the radio and worry less about having sever color choices to choose from. I drive mainly during the day so it would be nice to see what source I'm on, what song is playing and so on.

Very disappointed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit does have excellent sound. However, I'm dissatified with it's overall functioning. The clock is tiny and sometimes not even present; being replaced with the name of the band on the radio (depending on the station). The display, even set to the brightest level, fades out during sunny days. Prior to presetting stations, you can only find stations with the SEEK buttons and can not dial directly to the frequency. This is problematic if the station your looking for isn't strong enough to hit instantly during SEEK. The practical functions are simply awful.

DPX502BT
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the new model, installation was simple you just need to follow the setup instructions. Bluetooth works great with Samsung S6, now that most states are hands free. Awesome Stereo/cd player with all the features, without the high price of most.
