Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my 2nd Kenwood and it certainly did not disappoint. I actually have it installed in my garage, powered by a small 13 volt power supply with battery backup. The features that I am currently using are: Tuner, CD, Aux input and USB input - all easy to use and sound great. My older unit only supported Tuner and CD, so this was a nice upgrade. It has plenty of power and tone control. The remote is a nice small size and well laid out. I especially like the access door for the CD (instead of just a dust collecting open slot.) Display and color selections are extensive. I would certainly recommend this receiver for a "normal" (automobile) installation.

Bought for use in my Jeep, the blue tooth is awesome, no aux. cord to fight with anymore. There are better radios out there, but for the price this one has many features that work well. The usb and cd face cover do a great job keeping dirt and dust out. Liked it so much I bought one for my Miata.

My original Chevy Astro's stereo system finally went kaput, so I went the whole nine yards with new speakers and chose this as the audio replacement. Overall, going from an old tape deck/radio to this is quite the nice upgrade. The only thing that REALLY bugs me is, you have different display options with two lines of text (one large and one small). You can have combinations like Title (big text) and Artist (little text) or Radio Frequency (big text) and Clock (little text). But what if you want to listen to music and have the Clock in big text? No can do. The only way to have the clock be the main display is if the music/radio is off (and even then you have to adjust the settings to enable the clock to be active. Huge design flaw IMO. Also it could be my old Chevy, but the automatic clock sync didn't seem to work. Whenever I started up the car, the time would always be further and further off. Also, While the included USB port is nice for charging I found trying to use music stored on my phone and play it through USB was quite the hassle. There was seemingly no way to order or play what you want. It just plays ALL the music from ALL your albums in an unorganized, but alphabetical order. Other than that though, I'm quite happy, my local BB were really great about installing it. If you don't really care about watching the clock, this makes for a fantastic upgrade.

I love this stereo. Easy to install, easy to setup. Love that I can listen via Bluetooth. Hands free is crystal clear. Love having so many listening options. Pandora, iheart, satellite. Great sound.

I bought this stereo for my sons Jeep Cherokee, it fits the dash nicely and makes me feel good about him not holding his phone while driving. The hands free feature as well as the Bluetooth give him many of the features of newer vehicles. The sound is good and the removable face adds another sense of security. The price is awesome for a Kenwood product with all the features that this stereo has!!

All of the features that come built are nice. I use the Bluetooth way more than I thought I would. The only thing I truly dislike about it is the display. You have this HUGE scrolling ticker on the display which shows the artist, song name, and radio station. I like to have a clock. It is on the display as it should be. But, it's in tiny numbers under the scrolling ticker. Almost like it was an afterthought to put it there.

Easy to use and sync to my samsung s5 phone. Sounds great, lots of power, clear music. Would recommend to a friend.

I bought it because my "new" truck had a dead stereo. AM/FM usually worked but the CD player certainly didn't & I wanted something with the USB option so that I could carry ALL my CDs without risk of damaging them. Sorting through the CDs on the screen is not easy & don't try it while driving. But set it to Random play & enjoy pure digital quality! The frequency settings are really nice to, to get the best sound quality possible. I love it!

I needed a new car stereo for an older car we own. (The original one worked about 1% of the time.) I had done some research, but did not know much about these. The staff in the store was very friendly and walked me through various options. For the money, I got way more with this unit than I realized. It is bluetooth capable which I expected to mean we could connect a smartphone for music, but was pleasantly surprised that it is also capable of hands-free calling from a compatible phone. The installation staff was friendly and did a great job with the car. I am very pleased with the new stereo and my experience at Best Buy purchasing and getting it installed.

This unit went into a 1998 Toyota Camry with ease. I was able to use the stock mounting brackets off the original double din unit to mount in the new one. All I needed to purchase was one of those pockets that filled the gap where the old CD player went and a wiring harness. Also, the antenna plug fit right in the back of the unit without needed an adapter. Kenwood has always made excellent products in my opinion and they've been my number 1 go to for anything car audio related for a long time. So far everything is working like it should. My iPhone 6 Plus connects perfectly via BT and handsfree works really well too. When I tested HF for the first time I was told that my voice was really low. I went and increased the mic gain on the unit from the default setting and after that, I was told that my voice was coming in loud and clear. I am happy with my purchase.

Sounds good. Only 2 issues. 1) the unit is difficult to see in the day as there is a lot of glare. 2) when going from radio to XM or other feature you have to scroll all the way thru each one to get to the one you want.

This head unit exceeds all of my expectations! Bluetooth connects flawlessly, the added pandora controls are amazing! And the sound quality is great. You can't go wrong with this player.

Fun color-changing, love having all the options to utilize my iPhone with Bluetooth or USB. The In-Dash CD player and USB port as covered so no dust gets in. What can I say, great stereo for the price!

After years of using the factory-installed car stereo receiver I decided to upgrade to hands-free calling and USB port charging. Not sure why I didn't upgrade sooner. It fit nicely in my Nissan Versa. The sound is great, the syncing with my iphone was seamless and the apps are nice options. Takes a little time getting familiarized with the multiple source options but not a big deal. I agree with other reviews that reading the text on the stereo in the daylight is difficult. Overall, quite pleased with the purchase!

Very nice receiver with lots of great features and great sound. The Best Buy installation was perfect and it looks like it came from the factory. Bluetooth works great too.

This in-dash cd receiver is on point I can plug my iPod direct into the USB port the sound quality is just right. I can play MP3,cd's or get on pandora. I can even Bluetooth my phone to it. I'm glad I brought this product.

The sound quality is great. The stereo has features like a USB port and Bluetooth calling. It was a birthday present for my son and he loved it. So it was worth it.

I was happy with the quality of sound from the radio. Strong built in amp . Phone blutooth is a great feature on the radio as well for aftermarket .

Happy with this car stereo I just purchased and got installed at my local Bestbuy. It has Bluetooth which works with my iPhone 6 plus, USB and aux plus XM radio and CD Deck too. Dont have to worry about connecting my phone to cables or to the Bluetooth every time I get in my car just setup once and it links automatically every time I step in my car. Great features and great product for its price worth.

Had what I was looking for Radio, CD, audio input, work great. Also comes with SIRI hook up. Easy devise to work. Comes with remote.
