I've had this for 6 months now.

The unit is OK, and everything seems to work as expected. Works well with my iPOD touch, and plays video good also.

But what I don't understand is, after the 100's of features they programed into this thing I have yet to find a auto seek button? It has 3 SEEK modes, none of which will tune to a station for about 5sec. then move the the next station ect.... till you find a station you like. This is one of the most basic function a radio should have.

Also sometimes the AUTO dim doesn't work.

After careful review online i purchased this kenwood deck and i am so impressed by the look and sound. It has a great touch screen and is very easy to operate and very user friendly. The look is almost stock with the scosche install kit and the wire harness was very easy to install.

Customer Testimonial

My husband recently purchased a high-end marine stereo for our boat. We got a great deal! On-Trac left a note that they would attempt again the next day when we were home, the driver returned again the same day @ 5. That was very impressive. We thank all of Sonic Electronix and On-Trac shipping.
