Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the excellent sound quality and convenient Bluetooth connectivity of this in-dash receiver. Many appreciate the ease of use and the wide array of features offered.

    I love the things on this radio but when I touch the phone button too hard it shuts off or freezes. It takes hands free to an entire new meaning. Hands free meaning don't touch it. I had it for only 3 weeks before it started acting up. I'm not sure if it's the product of installation but considering the front isn't connected directly to wires I doubt it was the installation.

    The dashboard on my Tacoma slopes up as it approaches the windshield. That means that the sun can hit the radio dial squarely thru the windshield making visibility of the display impossible to read during the day.

    This was a great addition to my Harley. The HD radio is awesome. The Bluetooth works great with my Spotify making it easy for me to have great Tunes the entire time I'm riding.

    I love the features offered on this unit, but it hads some serious flaws. The remote control will turn off the unit, but does NOT turn the unit on. This thing get very hot after about 10-15 minutes of use, then the protection kicks in turns the volume way down and sometimes shuts off. By far, operation wise the worst deck I've ever had!

    I purchased another Kenwood this Receiver bc the last Kenwood I purchased for my Jeep has been awesome. This new model is definitely an upgrade. Looks expensive and feels expensive but affordable priced. I definitely recommend this receiver.

    Radio has a lot of nice features including displaying song title and artist when on an hd radio station. Only draw back is the letters on the display are a bit small so it can be hard to read

    When listening to stereo then phone rings while connected via bluetooth the phone ringing is very loud even with only low volume listening. Not sure if this can be adjusted, but it is our only con. Rest is great!

    So, from what I hear, the bluetooth on these Kenwood head units was unreliable and that is so with the unit I purchased. The unit also seems to have other quirky issues that I do not know if it is a result of this being a store display or if it is this Kendwood unit.

    I was looking for a sale on Hi-Def TVs, and my son (who knows everything about electronics) recommended my purchase to me. It is a very good product, and a bargain for the money. The best thing was the ability to buy on line and then pick up later in the day. It saved me the hassle of shopping in the store, an especially nice situation since I knew exactly what I wanted. The system worked perfectly! Thanks so much!

    Volume doesn't always turn on when i crank my truck. I have to power it down and back on. The track button sometimes also works as the source button.
