    Kenwood Unit Short Of Price-Justification!!

    Its suprisingly thin in depth, and has a crisp picture with vivid colors and dark contrast. However, the brightness isnt the highest and the mirror screening from phone to unit requires both an app and a usb connection!!! So much for the whole wireless streaming aspect of it all. There is an annoying welcome message that pops up every time the unit powers on even if you check the box for it not to...although this unit is good, honestly, for $230 i feel that it falls short of price justification. That is the reason for four stars and not five.

    Good, solid radio for the price. Easy to use audio adjustments/EQ. Bluetooth works good. Pretty straight forward basic head unit with all the basic features. I’d buy again

    Kenwood Receiver with Everything & Under $200

    The Kenwood - 6.8" Bluetooth Digital Media Receiver at just under $200.00 was a very budget friendly purchase that still came with all the bells and whistles. I did end up returning this item simply because I wanted the few extras that the Kenwood DMX809S had which cost me around $600. However, most people who are looking for a very nice touchscreen receiver, for under $200, that still has all the capabilities one would generally need, I would recommend getting this one.

    Had stereo installed in my 2015 Nissan Versa and I’m very happy with the results, I would recommend PJ at the Beaumont Best Buy to install any stereo system in your vehicle.

    Overall a good radio. A lot about better sounding than stock with new speakers. Only thing that doesn’t work is the mirroring feature. Tried multiple times with the app your suppose to download and still can’t get it to work.

    We had the techs at Best Buy install this for us. First of all, I have to give HUGE shout out to the auto technician "Nacho" for his awesome service. We were getting this installed in our used Jeep, which had a few issues with the speakers we were not aware of when we purchased the jeep used. Nacho accepted the challenge, and did not disappoint! He did a great job working through the issues and communicating with us. I would highly recommend his support. Second, the radio has a great sound for the price and no issues using. I would recommend if you are looking for something at a lower price that sounds great and easy to use.

    The system I purchased is outstanding. The clarity sound quality and functionality makes it almost ideal. I'm now able to use voice commands to navigate on the fly when my previous system would not allow. The directions included allowed for easy install with very little modifications.

    Easy to install. User friendly, mirrors my phone which make operation simple. Screen brightness not the best during the day even when adjusting but manageable. Never owned a kenwood deck till now, I’m looking for another model for my other vehicle. I have it paired up with Kenwood 4” dash speakers , 6.5” door speaker, 5 1/4 rear speakers, 2 -10” subs in my mini truck. The volume and sound quality is amazing.
