Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the sound quality and Bluetooth connectivity of this In-Dash CD receiver. Many appreciate its ease of use and the value for the price. However, some customers noted that the buttons and display could be improved for better readability. The detachable faceplate, while a feature for some, has also raised concerns regarding its fragility and potential for damage.

    My Installer for this unit, was "Chris". He was great ! Super knowledgeable, very friendly and a true professional. Chris is a definite asset to Best Buy, and Geek Squad ... Thanks again Chris. Realtor Mark. :)

    I would have given it 5 stars except the buttons are small and you have to push the same button to get to the device you want as opposed to standalone buttons for at least the radio and maybe the usb. Those points aside, this is an outstanding radio for the money. Sound quality is excellent and highly customizable. The rear usb has a long cable allowing you to install it where you want it, and not having it on the front of the unit allows for a larger display as compared to the front USB model. Bluetooth works perfectly. Hands-free mic is a plus. I had mine installed on the pillar. The display colors are all customizable. I matched mine to the nearby dash buttons. The radio reception is much better than my old factory unit, which I always found to be better than many other newer cars I rent from time to time, so it's really good. We have terrible AM reception in Florida, but it locks on and sounds good. Hard to believe you get all this for a little over a hundred bucks. It was installed in a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan.

    Great stereo for the money

    I've had it for a couple weeks now. Using it in a work truck so sound quality and competing noises are critical. Sound is good with lots of bells/whistles to keep things interesting like the bluetooth, data, and Spotify features. USB front charging is nice. The keys to make things do what you want them to are a little small and there is certainly a learning curve to behave like your last stereo. The instructions for functioning the stereo is very lackluster so a 1 minute review of them ... then playing around with your new stereo will be best.

    Clock is super small

    I purchased this deck a few weeks ago. One of the things I first noticed is that that digital clock is SUPER SMALL. It's almost worthless. I am an older guy, but I think a lot of people will struggle with seeing the clock. Other than that, I use it primarily for Bluetooth applications, which it does work good for. I would of given it 5 stars for the price, except for the clock. I did contact the manufacturer just to ensure I wasn't missing some setting about the clock, and I was told that's the size it is.

    It has good sound quality, and the bluetooth functions work well with my Android phone, for the most part. When set to Pandora, the screen flashes "Reading" while the songs plays, but switch to BT Audio and the Correct info is displayed.. Clock is too small to read, but that's not a big deal to me..

    Love this deck looks great sounds great. Has alot of nice features. Bluetooth works great and sounds great. I like the separate audio control button. Makes changing audio controls real fast and easy. Unlike most decks that have the audio controls clumped in with all the other settings. Easy to read in bright sunlight also! full read out for the XM and fm stations. It has the aux input and usb input on the rear of the deck I would rather have them on the front but really no big deal. I thought this was a excellent buy with the free Bestbuy install. They really did a great job. Love it!

    I have not bought a head unit for a decade or so. This unit has all of the features I was looking for. The Bluetooth works well so far although in was expecting at least bt4.0 or 4.1 by this time. One thing I do not like is having to scroll through all of the many input sources repeatedly. It would be cool to only list the sources that one uses . Generally it’s a nice unit. The salesman never made the installation appointment for me Iike he said he did. That cost an extra 10 day wait for a total of 30 days. However the actual installer Miguel was great and very helpful. They need to clone him and spread the clones around the company.

    Picked up this receiver because I neeeed to add Bluetooth capabilities to my 2000 Dodge Ram. Great price, great sound, and love all the features. I’m not sure why the bad reviews for unable to see the screen with sunlight, have not had that issue at all. Maybe the sunshine here in Texas is just better than in any other state. Either way, I definitely would recommend.

    My wife wanted a new radio for her new to us AWD Forester that had a working CD player. She loves that she can make phone calls through her new radio. The CD is only a single play, but it works great. The instructions are very hard to understand, but the installer was great and gave her a tutorial.

    Always a Pioneer user decided to try Kenwood a brand that I know since the times of the home full stereo sets. In this Kenwood car stereo case you got superb looks-Affordable price-Lost of functions. The sound, which is what matters, Splendorous. Buy it. Greetings.

    Nice Features, Hard To Read

    I installed this in a motorhome (RV). I like the features of this head unit, for the most part. There's a couple of minor things I don't like about it. First - I'd like to have a USB port on the front as well as the one from the rear. Second - it took a second to figure out how to access the cd drive. (The little door flips up on the front - you have to manually lift it up.) Third - it can be rather difficult to read in the daytime depending on how the sun is shining in and what color is on the display. Other than that, great sound, and I like how easy it was to install and connect to the SiriusXM system.

    If you in the market for a car stereo this is the one to purchase without braking the bank. The high, mid, and base are very clean all the way to max volume. This radio is not short of features, the Bluetooth range is respectable.

    We have this installed in our old Buick and sounds great. It’s just that its hard to navigate the control. Too many displays, but other than that sound is great. Enjoy music as we travel.

    Purchased as a replcement for my OEM radio that went out. Great radio. Good sound. Numbers on the clock are really small, as ithers have pointed out, but that's a minor problem. Would recommend.
