    I installed this in my 1991 Toyota Corolla DX. I traded up to this model from another Kenwood that had no Bluetooth capability. Glad I did as this radio is awesome!! Bluetooth connectivity is rock solid and I couldn’t be happier. There is no CD player on this model like my last Kenwood but I rarely ever use Cd’s. My phone connects automatically and callees say it sounds crystal clear. Multiple colors for the display allow me to choose the look I want anytime. I really like this radio and installation was included all for $100. Can’t go wrong here folks!

    Bought this for my harley as an upgrade and I couldn't be happier. Install was easy and I can change the colors to match my stock gauges or my led lights. The sounds and bluetooth are amazing too plus it had stood up to the weather amazingly.

    Installed this in our classic 92 Ford F350 crew cab dually, replacing OEM radio with a cassette tape deck. Love the bluetooth for phone calls and AUX for our XM radio as well as rear USB.

    Kenwood Bluetooth car stereo

    Its hard to go wrong with a Kenwood stereo! Very nice upgrade to my car from the 80's. Feature packed. Love the HD radio. My only complaint and the reason for 4 stars is that it won't recognize my Google Pixel phone. It still works and does what I need through the Bluetooth connection but the USB's only charge my particular phone. My wife's Samsung phone is recognized using the USB connection. (looking online there are many reports of Pixel phones not working with Kenwood receivers) Overall, still very pleased with this Kenwood Bluetooth stereo.

    I bought this for my '90s era project truck. I wanted hands free capability and something that didn't look outrageous for a pickup truck. The bluetooth works well for music and handsfree calling for a radio of this price point. Could be better, but for a single DIN radio, this is good. The huge variety of colors for display was a big selling point, allowing me to match the dash lights on the older vehicle. Installation was a breeze. The dimmer could be better, but I think this may be a function somewhat limited by installing a modern radio into a 26 year old truck. the sound is much improved.

    This is an excellent unit, and Best Buy did a great job with the install. The sound is great, and the Bluetooth also very convenient for my hands-free phone ability. The fit is so good as well. Indeed an excellent feature backed unit, that's perfect for my SUV. I can't wait to get my XM satellite connected!

    I've had this stereo unit in my car for a week now and I'm impressed. 2 USB inputs, and auxiliary input, controls for all speakers and subwoofer(s) if you have them, settings for what kind of car you have (compact, full-size, etc). Aesthetically you can choose the color of the face's backlight (or choose two different colors). Easy to use Bluetooth capability and the ability to talk on you phone hands-free. The microphone picks up easily and it's easy to hear your caller. Very convenient for someone like me who likes to drive with his music turned up which meant I rarely ever heard my cellphone sitting in the center console when someone calls. Also, the faceplate detaches if you're afraid of stereo theft (I'm not, personally). The ONLY knocks to this system: it does NOT have a CD player, and also the unit is very shiny and that means glare. The glare is likely made worse by the car I have where the face is up at an angle and I have a long windshield, so sun easily penetrates. If you have a car with a dash that's not angled up I'd bet you'd not have as bad a glare problem (or you can do like I do and just change the face colors to white to easily see the words on the screen). As to the other "problem," I actually liked the idea that I could get rid of all my burned CDs that were all over my car. All my music now is on a portable storage device (mp3 player) that goes with me everywhere and is then the soundtrack to my commute. (Part of my reason for getting a new head unit was that the old unit's CD player stopped recognizing any CD, so I easily solved the likelihood of ever having that problem again). And the radio functionality is fairly intuitive as well, also, the unit will search for HD channels when it finds them. Like I said, very well worth the price especially when having BB install the system for free.

    Unit replaced BMW head unit. Was installed by the Geek Squad. Took them about an hour. Very professional installation, all steering wheel controls work with this unit. This unit was purchased due to the bluetooth option. Two phones can be connected at the same time with this unit. It has taken about two weeks to finally configure this unit to my liking. Very flexible, easy to configure, just time consuming to settle on the final configuration. After comparing this unit to those of my BMW peers, mine was the least expensive, and all agree this was the best. Best sounding with original speakers, most flexible with all the options, best looking in the dash. Looks factory installed.

    It does it all. Set it up to take your hands-free phone calls via Bluetooth. 2 USB ports and one Auxiliary port (it'll play music that's on just a regular USB flash drive or an mp3 player). Also can do Pandora, Iheartradio, it picks up HD stations. I love it and I've had it in for about a month now. The only complaint (doesn't affect ratings) is that it does NOT play CDs because it has no CD capability. So if you have a lot of music on CDs, download CDex and start ripping them.

    Annoying built in apps

    As you select a source, the scrolling choices always include the standard ones like FM, AM, and Bluetooth, which are welcome. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has chosen to also force you to scroll through awkward unwelcome apps like Pandora, and Spotify, even though they play fine through Bluetooth audio mentioned above. This leads to a less than desirable user experience which is quite distracting as driving. Sound quality is fine but as the radio ages, I find it now very difficult for people on the other end of a phone call to hear me.

    This stereo sounds great, is super easy to connect to my iPhone and has all the features i wanted. The only thing i would change is i would tweak the controls a little bit and i haven’t figured out how to get it to display the station and song titles on my XM radio. It displays on HD Radio so not sure what the difference is but definitely a good stereo.

    This stereo has all the features I wanted except one - a giant touchscreen - but to be fair, it was well worth the amount I paid for it! The colors are configurable, it works with the remote from my old Kenwood I replaced, and the sound is fantastic, even without adding an amp! Took my stereo from lackluster to “wow!” Altogether quite pleased, though installing the microphone and rear USB extension were a small challenge due to behind-the-dash restrictions in my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. It performs beautifully, and crystal-clear sound even on the phone via Bluetooth!

    My 2002 car radio was on it’s last legs and I had a small Bluetooth device to help with phone access. For a little over $100 it has all changed. Great reception, phone link was easy, now I have all kinds of options on my commute.
