I really like my Kenwood car stereo! It sounds great and pretty much meets all my needs. I love the Bluetooth connection to my phone, and it's mostly easy to operate. My only issues are that the screen is hard to see if the sun is shining bright and I'd like to have the option of the clock showing no matter which mode I'm in.

I needed to upgrade a factory stereo in order to be able to use my iPhone for music. This stereo fit the bill. the Bluetooth function works well and the hands-free is clear for me and my callers as well. One thing I will say: the prior reviewers were accurate in the fact that the display is virtually impossible to see in direct sunlight. this is not an understatement-- the display is awful, but some colors are better than others. I did not get too deep into the menus as my needs were basic for this unit. it was a low cost solution for my needs. I used the pre-amp output to hook up to a factory infinity amp/speaker system so I can't speak to the power output. I did detract 1 star for the poor visibility of the unit in sunlight.

I bought this for my wife's vehicle so it could have the Bluetooth function that most newer cars have. It has so many more features than the last stereo I bought. Great power, cool changeable colors, great connections and the Bluetooth feature work great! For a beginner and a low cost model, this is great!

Bought this for my 05 S2000, it has been working well. Love the features that come with it. It gives different options for how to listen to music and even has the pandora and Iheartradio. It has USB or AUX connectors as well. It also comes with the a mic for the phone. If you know anything about the stock radio on an S2000, you'd understand why I'm happy with all those "common" features.

I love this upgrade to my factory VW radio. Great Bluetooth! Great reception and features!
I just wish the phone mic was better (severe tunnel tone), u could see the display in daylight, and the buttons were sized for adults.

I am so happy with this unit. I had used my old one the stock Toyota radio for so long that I just got used to it. The features and options are so voluminous it was a little overwhelming. After reading the manual and then referring back to it in the car while fine tuning some of the options. It is amazing the improvement in sound! The fact that I can now use my stored music from other sources gives me such flexibility it is like a kid in a candy store - lots of fun. The only reason I did not give the unit 5 stars is because I am older and have a difficult time seeing the display. I have experimented with all the different colors and have it on the brightest setting I can but still have difficulty at times seeing what is displayed. Other than that a fabulous improvement.

We bought the radio as a gift and when we gave it to our son we was so excited to install it. It is very easy to install and all of its features he love. He can charge his iPhone from it and Bluetooth it straight to it. Kenwood is the best
