The features and sound shaping alone is with this buy. If you want excellent sound and deep bass this is the one for you. The Bluetooth capibilities alone are impressive up to five preset favorites as soon as you turn it on and turn it up. You can customize the colors on the display and the app control is impressive. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great radio at a reasonable price.

This Kenwood car stereo is just what I wanted. It fits cleanly in my older 2002 Audi providing excellent sound to complement the rest of the sound system. The BT connection to the phone has been trouble free and all devices pair up well. I think the manual writers could have included more information in the booklet provided, as we are discovering additional features by just pressing buttons. The display is clear even in bright light and the customizable color palette is great. My mp3tags show up clearly. Very happy! Great installation by a helpful service technician. Thank you Best Buy!

The Kenwood In Dash CD/DM Receiver provides all the features of a modern receiver at a very affordable price. It allows me to pair my phone for hands free phone use and provide access to my Pandora and iHeart Radio apps. These function perfectly without requiring an "adaptor" as with my old, original equipment radio. Reception of am and fm stations was excellent with much less static interference, especially on the am band. I like having the option to add Sirius XM radio though I have purchased that option as yet.

Needed a replacement for my Alpine and found the Kenwood to have everything I needed. It has Bluetooth, a USB plug, CD player and a stereo receiver that picks up the toughest stations. It is a great replacement and I couldn't be happier with it.

This stereo is great. Easy to install, easy to understand, and the best part is hooking up two devices with Bluetooth , one for calls and the other for music is how I use it. Great buy

I bought this just looking for the basic functions.
It has more function than I thought, they are very helpful in customizing the sound to your car.
It not as loud as I expected but it could be my SUV the speaker are very low and the seat is down.
The down side is the basic navigation of simple functions: the track forward and back button are very small, you have to scroll through all of the input to get to the ont you want I.E. Bluetooth, iPod, aux, cd, Pandora, iHeartRadio and tuner. Kind of a pain. Maybe I just didn’t figure out to disable some.
It would be nice to just have a button CD.
Lastly if you are a iOS iPhone user the app remote is aweful and they haven’t updated it in a long time.
Hope this helped

Good replacement of factory radio. Included CD player is a plus and BT works well. Phone connects quickly and stays connected. Only downside is the clock is a bit small and thus hard to see at times.

The system is great for what I need. The bluetooth pairing process was a bit more complicated than I'd have liked, but it worked with patience and perseverance and hasn't been a problem. I still haven't figured out how to make calls correctly though and have called the wrong person by mistake more than once!
Sound is good and it's good value for the price.
Best buy salesperson Johnny was great and helped me decide which system I needed.

Love the features. Mostly plan to use the BT option to run my iPod. My wife drives the vehicle everyday and loves the phone option. I replaced the OEM radio in a 10 year old vehicle and we enjoy all the new features

Kenwood continues to produce a high quality product. This install was for an old pickup I use for hard and dirty work, so did not go highest end. With that said, the sound is great and puts out great sound to each of my four speakers. With the wire harness (purchase separately) and a dash fill kit, installation was quick and simple (I have worked on vehicles and electronics as a hobby, so I consider myself moderately skilled installer).

I bought this when it was on sale, but I do not regret it. I purchased it to install in a 2000 Chevy suburban and it is a very good easy to use and set up head unit.
