Great sound for the buck!

Has a lot of features for the price. The quality and durability of Kenwood is hard to beat sounds great. Sonic rocks!

Great

Like this stereo for our 96 impala ss because it doesn't have that modern look. Wanted something more simple looking and this is it.
Sounds and looks beautiful in car

Excellent Quality Plus Value.

I was so satisfied with not just the value of this car stereo but the ease of installation and the ease of setting up with cell phone. I was expecting a nightmare. But NO went so smooth it was great!! I would definitely recommend this car stereo , if you are looking for something not expensive with good quality performance! I put this in My 95 mustang Gt lines right up fit right in no hassles!

Pretty good.

The product does what its supposed to. However I have had a couple bugs here and there with it. Such as connectivity with the Bluetooth. It often gives me a problem with connecting. Simple fix, turn the car off and back on again. Not a big deal. Another was it bugged out when I was in a call and turned on the vehicle. The stereo came on but didn't connect or even do anything for that matter. The lights were on but nothing was displayed and when I turned off the car... It stayed on. However I think that was aon me. I think there may have been a short in the wiring and it is fixed now. As far as the connectivity issues. They are probably just a manufacturer malfunction and something rarely seen by a brand such as Kenwood. Other than that it is perfect. It sounds great. Powers the amp for my sub's just fine and call quality is overall pretty good. I would recommend this to others.

Everyone's garage
