    Good radio

    The radio was installed in an 1990 conversion van to replace the broken cassette tape/radio. I wasn't looking for anything top-of-the-line. This radio surpassed my needs. Especially for the price and (at the time) free installation. Has a front USB input for music, bluetooth works flawlessly. Love that both mine and my husband's cell phones can be recognized separately for incoming calls. Our cars only allow the first recognized bluetooth phone. There's a little microphone that sits to the left of the radio for calls. Not as unseen as a built-in car mic but I'm thrilled to have hands free calling in the old van. The sound is very good. My one critic would be the faceplate buttons for search/back, fast forward/reverse and numbers 1 - 6 are very small. Even with the backlight it's hard to see them. Especially in a larger vehicle where the reach to the radio is a bit further. Setup was pretty straight forward. There are more instructions with the online manual.

    Replaced the original radio with this Kenwood. Kenwood has always produced great audio products. Connects to my Android phone via BT Audio. I play XM Radio, audio books from the local library, etc. I like that I can plug my phone charger into the Kenwood. One area for improvement would be to add a way to manually adjust the Kenwood's radio stations. The only way that I've found to change stations is to press the scan buttons. Best Buy installed the Kenwood and two new speakers in my truck. Did a great job.

    The car stereo was purchased as a gift for a friend celebrating their 60th birthday! It was installed in her 2003 PT Cruiser. The stereo sounds fantastic and it was a surprise as well. The sound is excellent and what a value. Would recommend this unit for sure! Also, the Culver City install folks are awesome!

    Nice upgrade from the original that came with our vehicle. Bluetooth connection is easy, usb works great. The reception on radio seems better too. Tons of color options,sound options. Too many for us...we’re not that picky with sound (we just use preset, but you’re able to create your own.)

    Put this receiver in my Jeep so I would have something with better and louder sound quality when the top is off. This receiver does the job. All the sources work great (radio, bluetooth, USB, Pandora, etc). I like that you can change the color of the display too.

    We like having the CD player and Bluetooth for the phone. Nice unit. Caleb Lindgren, the installation expert, was super to work with. He explained everything to us old folks perfectly and was very professional, but friendly. He is an asset to the Traverse City, MI team.

    Works great with my Android phone over bluetooth - nice features and great installation experience by BestBuy. Why not 5 stars? The antenna signal needed boosting (was fine with the previous radio - also a Kenwood). And the some of the controls for Pandora and Spotify aren't obvious and so require reading the manual. But overall very happy.

    I am super happy with my Kenwood receiver! My main reason was getting Bluetooth connectivity with my phone for music and podcasts. It works perfectly! Also, it was a major sound quality upgrade over my stock receiver. Could not be happier!
