Good radio upgrade over the stock unit. Apple car play is simple. Still figuring out how to set the clock other than that great purchase. Back up camera is good. Equalizer is good.

Purchased to refresh the radio in my 1995 Accord. Very happy with the unit, sound equalization and customization, and color tuning for the buttons - I was able to match the Honda dash color. Great install!
In addition, the Android Auto works flawlessly, I'm able to connect wirelessly use the phone, dictate texts, and stream Pandora, Spotify, or my USB files with excellent sound quality.
To top it off, the video inputs allow for easy integration of a rear view camera, and it switches over seamlessly, even reducing volume level when in reverse to reduce distraction. (this feature can be disabled if you like).
To top it off, this is a great choice! Now my oldest vehicle has the most up-to-date electronics of all my cars. Would buy again!

I am very happy with this wireless Apple CarPlay compatible receiver. It integrated perfectly with my Chrysler sound system and even has a specialized set up feature that allows you to enter in how many speakers you have and the size of your speakers. Once I used this feature, the car audio really came to life; although I was disappointed that the installer didn’t set this up as part of the installation process. Right after the installation I noticed the sound wasn’t as full and rich as my previous receiver and had to read through the manual to learn about the dealer set up feature.

The radio itself is fine, but don't get it installed here! After 4 trips back to BestBuy for the installs and fixing, I finally decided to pay an audio place ($255) to see if they could get SiriusXM to come in all the time. They found many other things wrong while fixing SiriusXM:
1. The wires crossing my parking brake were obvious and one of the reasons the vehicle went to a new place.
2. The hazard light button not being hooked to anything was a complete surprise. It appears they broke the original button, and the one they put in could not connect to the wire (it had the wrong size and shape connector). Luckily, I had not needed the button in the six months since the radio was installed. It is $65 to get a new button.
3. The wire out to the passenger footwell, instead of using the USB connector already built into the dash, has now been removed.
4. some items were never connected but hadn't fallen off on me, but those were incidental compared to everything else.
Overall this Kenwood unit itself has been working great (speak slowly into the microphone in order for it to understand you when it is going to have to translate to typing) and I like the wireless Android Auto, but bring it somewhere else to have it installed.

Good product...horrible service from the Jordan Creek store! Scheduled to be installed on November 20th, get there and they hadnt ordered anything! Wasted a trip. They got it ordered, go to the store Niv 30th for it to be installed, they ordered the wrong part to make it look factory installed. Scheduled yet abother time to come up, go up. Scheduled for Dec 20th, i called to make sure they had the right part! NOPE!!! So now its Scheduled for Jan 10th!!! I'm over this, it was supposed to be a Christmas present and its turned into a complete joke of them screwing us over!

Great product, but purchased online (open box in excellent condition) and was missing the gps cable when it arrived at my home. This was not mentioned in the description of the product online. I would have ordered the cable in advance of installation if it had been mentioned. The cable is $60 through Kenwood and is supposed to be included in this purchase. Corporate Best Buy refuses to resolve it and keeps sending me to the store who only provided the installation. The only helpful person in this process is the technician who installed the stereo for me. Avoid Best Buy at all costs. They have zero interest in makin anything simple. You just get sent to a call center abroad who can’t help you. I’ll never buy anything from Best Buy again. It’s a failing corporation

Great radio with great feature! I got the pioneer at first but I am glad I switched to this Kenwood. The response time is perfect with steering wheel. Has a further range for bluetooth. Wifi Carplay works great!!

This unit is pretty clean for what it is. You want better than fork over the extra cash for the excelon series. I’m happy. It runs my Rockford 6x8’s in all four doors just fine without an amp leaving a nice clean single amp install for the subs in the back.

Best Buy is always my go to spot for any electronics. One great thing they do is they price match products that are sold from major retail stores like Target and Amazon but had to be shipped and sold on Amazon and they will price match the product. Great store wort snazing customer service

Great plug and play unit. I added backup cam in addition to the supplied accessories and I couldn’t be happier. Interface is easy and clear. Glare is expected but as not bad with the system lighting adjustments. Touchscreen is responsive and accurate. Wireless CarPlay and Android auto are flawless.

Fits and sounds great in my 04 Mustang, I installed and did the wiring myself and it was very straightforward. You will need to buy a 12v to 5v converter to use the Mach audio system subwoofers however, but the wiring is not complex at all.

So far, it’s done everything I’ve wanted it to and more. I love the wireless CarPlay and the equalizer features for my speakers. Overall, very pleased and would recommend at the price point.

Great overall, but make sure if you have parking dynamic guidelines from you OEM manufacture that you double check compatibility. It was my fault and now I dont have the honda special. Screen is tiny, I'd recommend going larger
