    This unit has a great sound and the installation went quickly. The biggest issue (and hence the rating of only 4 stars) is the lack of a useable instruction book. The one that comes with the unit is extremely basic and there is not much online that is remotely helpful. If you have time to sit and tinker it can be figured out but my time is a bit more valuable than that. There is a question in the review here "Would you recommend this unit?" I answered "no" for the reasons just stated but that might seem a bit unfair or harsh.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Great product for the price. It delivers as advertised. Takes a little time to set up but once in place it is super easy to operate. Had Geek Squad do the installation and the technician was very helpful in doing the set up. As other reviews have stated the clock is very small. The multi-colored lights are cool but make it hard for old timers like me to see the display. So I set it to use only the white light and it is now easy.

    The clock display is very small when the unit is on, but is a lot larger when the unit is off. The functions work good, but the buttons are small, making it difficult to use. Sound is decent with our older speakers. Even the installer, John, was impressed. Overall, we are satisfied with the Kenwood, and esp. the installation.

    Easy to install, especially if you have ever installed a DIN radio before. All of thew wires are color coded and matched my wire colors exactly and I installed this in a 99 pontoon boat. I just wish the pig tail it came with was a few inches longer as it would have made it a little easier, but it wasn't that difficult. It works well. As usual for today's standards, the instruction book is very basic but once you figure it out, it isn't difficult to set up and program.

    This Kenwood receiver has many options. It was easy to install and sounds great. Having bluetooth is a great option to use my phone through the receiver. I installed this in one of my classic cars so to have so many options like bluetooth, satellite radio & usb ports is great! I always like the abiltiy to change the colors.

    Good fit ease of operation, fits nicely in the vehicle. Blue tooth works great with my iPhone. It is not bulky and takes up the space in my vehicle. Also very pleased with its appearance and how you can change colors to match the lights of the interior.

    Kenwood in-dash CD Receiver, Great Buy

    The radio does a great job at stopping anything in operation, including my I-Pad, answering a phone call, then resuming where it was. It changes the time back one hour no matter how many times I correct it. The sound is fantastic in my 1997 F250HD. Just used it for a 1200 mile trip and used all the features except Spotify. Worked flawlessly. I enjoy the color changing features.

    - This is a GREAT little deck - I just wanted something basic to upgrade the 20 year radio in my 2003 Corvette & this little guy has all the right features + it's reasonably priced - I've managed to play with it a wee bit - as - I'm having MAJOUR issues getting a good interface for this radio to integrate into a 20 year old Corvette - thus - it's been a challenge ... but this radio looks great & sound fairly decent (at least when driving just the factory speakers - I'm sure it'll get better once I can get the Amps to kick in properly) ... thus - highly recommend the radio - just be careful if your trying to install this into a C5 Corvette - at least in my case - it's been a challenge thus far ...

    Easy to figure out. For old eyes, text on display and buttons are too small, but after I use it more and memorize the layout, it won't be a problem. Made my old, factory speakers sound much better.

    Kenwood CD Receiver (in-dash)

    Very good CD/Receiver, nice custom lighting/color choices, relatively easy to set-up, has front USB port if needed, can time the dimmer for night/day use. Would prefer the choice of showing the time instead of date on faceplate (does not have time only option). Bluetooth sometimes fades in/out when using it for Pandora listening. Overall, would purchase again as I trust Kenwood (my last receiver was Kenwood & lasted 10 years) and I was able to use my old remote with this new unit.

    This gets a full 5-star rating based on my daughter's response as a surprise from her parent's. This went into her hand-me-down 2007 Honda Fit and the sound difference from it compared to the factory radio (though it was partially failing anyway) blew her mind! She absolutely loves it and its features, as well as going through the manual to learn all its functionalities. She found it very easy to learn and operate. It is a great unit to consider if you are in need of a new unit in your car.

    Great replacement for our old RV house stereo from 2005 with excellent Bluetooth connectivity and Spotify. Very good sound and adjustability. Make sure you adjust the bass as I almost bought new speakers not being happy with the sound. Spent some time adjusting the bass boost and loudness controls, and it made all the difference. Great purchase.
