    I didn't give 5 stars due to the difficulty in setting this stereo up, I've owed other kenwoods and they're basically all the same "difficult ". I purchased this from the deal of the day and saved some cash, which is always good! I needed a new stereo for my truck and this fit the bill. Overall the style and functionality of this stereo are decent for the price. I would recommend this particular unit to anyone needing something cheap and remaining good quality. The Bluetooth works great, the mic for the phone is ok, having it mounted on my A pillar which is approximately 14 inches from mouth sounds like I'm very distant, I have to speak loud for anyone to hear me clearly. I got right up to it and people say I sound clear. I didn't buy it for phone talk usage so this doesn't bother me that much. Pairing to my iPhone 7 was simple and works like a dream.

    The Kenwood Model KDC-BT565U is a great upgrade for my old chevy. We also had SiriusXM tuner installed with satellite antenna. The installation was quick and flawless. Looks like factory.

    This was a Christmas gift from my husband, and I have really enjoyed having it so far. It has SO many features that it takes awhile to learn how to use them all. Very convenient in the fact that I can play my phone via blue tooth and switch to the pandora and Iheart bands to listen directly through the stereo. It also has Siriux/XM but I currently have a XM radio that has song/artist alert, (which this stereo does not), so I use the handy stereo jack on the front of the unit to plug my XM directly into for static free, clear service. It also comes with a rapid charge usb on the front of it that quickly charges my phone. The only thing that is not the greatest about this radio is the fact that the display isn't very bright and can be hard to see at times...however, with this being said, it can also be a plus at night when some radios are so bright that they blind you, and this one does not. You can select which color you want the display to be, or let it randomly cycle and change, which is my choice because I like the variety. Oh, and the sound is great through my speakers. It is powerfully nice and clear. I would recommend this stereo, as the pros outweigh the cons by a massive landslide!

    Sounds great, easy to use, lots of features. I really like the Aux and USB options for music devices. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it's hard to read in daylight and people can't hear me clearly when using the bluetooth and microphone for calls.

    Great sound, features and value. Love the Bluetooth and USB input. The sound is great. The display colors and text are really fun. My only issue is that I installed this in a convertible and the sun washes out the display so that it can not be read.

    I have been using this for two months. I did the set up in my car of my own. It was not too complex. I bought this for two main reasons: 1. To hear music from my phone through blue tooth 2. Use phone handsfree. Both are awesome. I love it!! Great! I reduce one star for only one reason: It changes the CLOCK time automatically by reducing time for around 1 hour even though I set clock to the right time. Not sure if I did some thing wrong in CLOCK set up or its a defect in this product.

    I really wanted to love this radio. I bought it for my old truck. I love everything about it, but the display. It is quality built with sturdy a rotary knob and buttons. I expect Kenwood to deliver this type of unit, but I am puzzled by the display. It is not bright and hard to view. If you don't mind this; radio had plenty of features, and dynamic sound

    This deck has many features that make it appealing to a wide range of consumers. This was a gift for a teenager. He love the Bluetooth and remote capabilities. The sound is gr8 even though it is in a beater (old/rough) car. The sound is strong and not distorted. It looks gr8 with the display and colors. Overall a gr8 system that we got a Christmas special with installation included.

    Installers are excellent. The bluetooth for phone calls can sound distorted if you change the base settings to all the way up. I switched it back and no more complaints from people on the other end. Also the angle makes it difficult to see the screen in the sun. After all that I would still recommend the unit as it looks and sounds great.

    I bought this product for my 16yr old nephew for Christmas. Needless to say I maintained my status as" Aunt of the Year!" It has a wonderful sound and great display of colors. The biggest selling option was the hands free calling, detachable face, and the USB port.
