    Always been a fan of kenwood since high school, and for the features and functions you get, the price is right. I Installed the unit with no problems, and it works great.

    Good Wireless Option to Replace Old Car Radio

    My 1994 car did not have an audio jack and only way to play music from mobile device was via cord to cassette player. So I wanted an upgrade with Bluetooth, satellite radio, and installation of microphone for hands free phone capability. This Kenwood radio produces great sound and has many options to adjust sound. Geek Squad rep lead me in the right direction to Chris, the Auto technician, who recommended the radio. Chris offered to install radio on the spot. While there were some unavoidable delays with installation (my car needed special wiring to install the new radio), Chris was excellent and provided class A customer service. Only criticism is that the Kenwood remote app that can be used with radio is not very good. Very satisfied with product and experience.

    If you're not too familiar with car stereo installs, don't worry... neither are the sales associates at Best Buy. First, let me say, the stereo itself is great, bluetooth functions well with my S9+, sound whatmy with equalizer is good. I'm still learning all the ins and outs of every option, but so far I like it. NOW, back to the sales... the guys were friendly enough, but not the most knowledgeable, even with the help of the computer system. I initially purchased a double DIN (this one is single, and still not sure what those mean), with the mounting hardware and harness system (choosing an extra $100+). However, when I arrived for my install, the tech (who was more knowledgeable, and helpful) told me that he'd have to cut away behind the dash to get the stereo to fit in my car (eventhough the sales associates looked up my car in their system and said it would fit), which is an extra $25 custom work, plus an additional hour job, and I'd have to reschedule. They also sold me the wrong antenna, which the installer was able to getthe right over. Living 45minutes away, rescheduling was not an option... so I picked this model out, which fit in my car (2010 Charger) without cutting anything, looks good, and has all the functions as the other, in just a smaller faceplate. In the end I saved over $60 to switch stereos and still basically got what I wanted. Long story short, great buy, but be prepared for extra... time and money above just the cost of the stereo.

    Good sound quality and easy to use features. The only issue I had with this stereo was that you cant control the song from phone while using Spotify app. You have to use the head unit to change the songs which is not at all a good option. I had to disable Spotify on the head unit and then it works fine. It is a simple workaround though. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase and would recommend getting this if you are on a budget and just need to play music in the car.

    Ordered this for my college student daughter who bought a used car that needed a radio. Music is important to her so she wanted to be able to get something affordable that also had the safety on hands free calling & Bluetooth using her phone. she loves this radio and has had no problems with it at all. We had the guys at Best Buy in Kalamazoo install it and they did an excellent job.

    I bought this stereo when I was tired of my broken old (after market) stereo. I am impressed with this stereo. It recognizes my phone when I get in my car and will start up my Pandora where it left off which is convenient. The sound quality is really great too. It was very easy to install even though we had to do some sodering with the wires and my wiring harness.

    I replaced a Pioneer system with this new Kenwood and I am pleased with the results. Has great sound, great interface and modernizes my 93 GMC to todays standards. Digital AM/FM/CD/Satellite and Bluetooth. Very easy install, I did it in less than an hour. Love the display that changes colors every 30 seconds.

    One drawback is that Best Buy always wants these reviews an hour after you get the product, As of now I have only spent about an hour using this stereo. However, I am very impressed. The reader should understand it is paired with a 4 channel amp and Focal speakers, so the system is decent behind this receiver. The sound quality is impressive. Only drawback so far is the volume when taking a call on bluetooth is lower than the volume of the music. Making it necessary to toggle the volume back and forth. Kind of annoying. There may be a fix buit I have not found it yet.

    I really like this radio. Yes it takes a few seconds to connect to your phone but no big deal. My only complaint about this radio is you have to choose the right color to see the display in the sun. I still recommend this product

    Overall I like this head unit. It has plenty of power and many options to tweak the sound and customize your unit to your car. The only thing I don't like is the brightest setting on the display is not that bright which makes it a little difficult to read during the day.

    Good cheap stereo. Threw it in an older CIVIC to add bluetooth. Worked fine. Only downside is I found navigation though settings was annoying, but thats typical of a single din.
