    Fanastic Radio for the Price!

    Needed to replace the factory CD radio in my 2000 Saturn SL1, so after alot of research, I was able to pick this little jewel up for $69.99 (after Best Best price matched Newegg). I love how you can choose the color of the lighting of the unit and it sounds fanastic with PLENTY of power! It has lots of sound adjustments including bass boost, loudness, and a 3 band parametric eq to tailor sound to your speakers and taste. Operation took a little getting used to but once I got used to it, it's quiet easy to use especially with the included remote control! CD playback is flawless, the USB plays my MP3's on my flash drive great. Haven't tried to play music from my Android phone as of yet. This really is a great unit for the price, and I'm very happy with my purchase.

    I love the look, sound and function of this HD radio. The installation was fairly easy and I have it paired to a couple of Bose speakers in my RAM truck and it rules. Easy to use and it looks awesome at night. Excellent price and I know that if I have any problems that Best Buy has my back

    I had an older kenwood in my car already and was looking to upgrade. I looked at different models and settled on this unit. It has a lot of features and the price of $80 on sale was a bonus. The sound is great but there are only two real negatives. The display just isn't bright enough -and I knew that going in -and sometimes the radio reception can be a little less than great. But overall decent stereo for the price.

    Good number of color choices to match your dash lights. Love the HD radio. Great receiver overall. Only bad thing is that the display is not bright enough.

    I have always liked Kenwood products the adjustable colored lights for the buttons and dial is a fun feature. The HD feature definitely makes a difference in music on the radio you can hear it but just like any other signal it can be interrupted with hills and valleys.

    Bought this for my father-in-law's VW camper van. Fit perfect. Enough Power to speakers (he is hard of hearing and back speakers are far away from driver). Great price$ on sale. Buttons small. Hard to find all operation button even when lit up (multi-color lighting). Controls iPod through receiver when plug USB cord. Like the HD radio stations sound good

    If you want to charge your phone, play as much music as you want from it (I have over 80 gigabits of music on my android phone) and listen to HD radio, then this is the car stereo for you. Install took only a few minutes and everything worked exactly as promised. I have been using it constantly for several weeks and could not be happier.

    I love my new car stereo but I'm still getting used to all of the buttons on it and still need to configure it the way I want. But I'm getting HD stations which I never did before as well as a bunch of features which makes it easy to connect my phone to my stereo and play pandora, tunein, etc.

    Bought the receiver to put in my daughter's Saturn. She loves it!! Had it installed at Best Buy and they did a great job. Having a USB port is great and the CD player is easy to work. Downside is that the face is not visible during the day. There just is not enough brightness in the daytime. My daughter likes the changing colors of the face at night.
