nice head unit

It's really cool the only problem is its a little hard to see the display in the sun.

VS
poor service

The unit does not work with the iPhone, you can only play music that you have stored on the phone, You cannot play Pandora or any other app, this reciever does not support that. Kenwood should display this info for consumers.

August 31, 2011 Volume Control Stopped Working - Twice!

I purchased this unit and less than one year latter the volume control stopped working. I liked how the iPod was kept inside the headset so I purchased a second unit and one year later the volume control stopped working again!

I'm going with a different manufacturer next time.

It does integrate with iPods easily. Finding playlists is tough. The largest dissapointment was that I got this for the dual zones so I could separate my wake tower speaker volume from the speakers in the boat. If you use the pre-outs (as anyone will that is putting in a high end system) you lose that option. I would have just bought another deck if I knew this.

This unit has been amazing for our boat. Inexpensive compared to other products but does an amazing job. Hook your iPod or iPhone up and lock it in.

While designated a marine radio, I purchased this unit to mount on my motorcycle. What drew me to the KMR-700U was its oversize face that offers larger buttons that would be easier to manipulate while wearing gloves. Also, having a volume knob rather than buttons was another key factor.

One concern I did have was whether or not the 15 watt/channel internal amplifier would be enough to drive my 6x9 speakers so they would be audible at highway speeds on the bike. Not an easy task with my obnoxiously loud pipes. Turns out the internal amp cranks out just enough juice to do the job before clipping/distortion becomes an issue and degrades sound quality. I may still add an external amplifier, but for now I'm satisfied with the sound and volume.

The only complaint I have about this unit is that it's a little picky when it comes to USB thumb drives. If the drive needs to boot from an executable file stored on it (most SanDisk drives), it typically won't work as the unit doesn't know what to do with that file and says it can't read the drive.
