I got an adapter cable and custom mounted this into my motorcycle.
It it a cheap marine grade deck with a nice EQ.
Bluetooth range leaves a lot to be desired. It doesn't even connect well when my phones in my pocket and I'm driving my bike when the head unit is mounted in the fairing.
The display is bland. But is nice and bright so its visible in the sunlight.
All in all it works for the price.

Love the integration of SXM, you do need to read the manual to understand all of its features, but gappy thus far.
Also powers 4 Polk Audio 5 1/4" Marine speakers on a motorcycle just fine.

Shorter than stock radio means easier install in dash. This unit has multiple settings which allow the unit to be adapted to your particular application so the bottom line is it can make even cheap speakers sound good! Volume is more than sufficient. Bluetooth to phone works flawlessly. A typically high quality product from Kenwood! The only criticism is accessing the menus while driving has been difficult for me (but I am older!). In particular rotating the knob to access the submenus is tough because it rotates so easily. USB to phone to charge while driving seems to confuse the unit. There is probably a setting for that too!

So far works as advertised, still waiting on how it performs in the elements as its on a harley. But small and performs really well. Little pricey for the size and linited overall functions but not alot of options in the stores.

Receiver was great. Built in Alexa was an added bonus. Loved the silver look compared to the boring black finish on most receivers. The only thing was due to the chip shortage, I could not buy this with HD capability.

I installed this radio in a golf cart. The radio works well. It has a short chassis which makes the installation easier. My only complaint is that the instructions included only show the very basic functions of the radio. To get the full instructions (like how to get to the individual menus and options) you need to go to and download from the internet site from the Q code.

The radio and Bluetooth are easy to use. It has plenty off power without an amp to run four 6.5 speakers.

The radio works well. It's a little difficult to navigate. I don't leave the boat battery connected, so every time I turn I connect it, I have to press the Sync button to get it out of standby, then I have to search for my FM channels again. I do like the BT option and use it the most.

Great performing deck. I have multiple amplifiers for highs and mids. I also have amplifiers for subwoofers. This deck handles like a champ. My old radio broke and I needed a quick fix. Best Buy had my back for something same day. Easy to use and install.

Easy to install, user friendly controls. I bought this to replace an old stereo in my RV. Due to the age of the Rv I was limited in the space, so I couldn’t go too fancy. Happy with the overall look, function and options.

Purchased this for a 1987 BeachCraft boat. It fit correctly in the slot and had all the wiring needed. Happy with the upgrade and love the bluetooth capability. I connect it to my phone, no issues.

The remote app to control the receiver does not work. App even says it won't work for "newer" phones. I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 and as of July 2020, app does not work. So, if playing music from a USB drive, you must use the receiver's controls which are not intuitive..difficult to navigate. Makes it hard to select/play from the USB. If remote app worked, I'd give this 5 stars.
Like the knob control for volume instead of buttons.

One of the best cd players we have purchased. Used this one to install in a RZR XP1000 with a waterproof case. Awesome and works perfect. Bluetooth is exceptional.
