Better than anything for the $

This is my 3rd HU, but is by far the best. I had an Alpine CDA-102 and CDA-105 before this, and while the Alpines were more aesthetically pleasing, this Kenwood takes the prize. Easy to use, relatively cheap, and comes with HD radio! What more can you ask for? Buy it.

GREAT Stereo!

This Kenwood head unit is great. We got it after we ordered a JVC unit that did not perform as expected (and was also defective). We chose this unit after speaking to tech support at SE. It has worked flawlessly in our Hyundai Entourage for over a year! Sound quality and durability have been excellent. My only complaint is that some of the audio menus are buried. I wish that there was a more direct way to access them. Also, the front face is a little busy, and the secondary functions of the preset buttons are not illuminated, so night adjustment is difficult. Overall a great head unit for a good price. Also Sonic Electronix is great to work with.

Love it

I have had this headunit for a while now and i still love it. I haven't had any problems with it and it was an amazing upgrade to my sound system. Installation was easy and there is a feature for just about anything you can think of. Definatly sticking with kenwood stereos

Great Stereo

This is my first stereo. It sounds great.

Only one problem. When power gets interrupted (disconnecting the battery), sometimes the radio will not work until stereo has been reset.

Stay Away!

I've installed about a dozen car stereos in my time, and this one was most frustrating. So much so I had to send it to the Kenwood service center. Unfortunately they sent it immediately back saying there was no problem. Not true because the CD player still won't read any CD. So much for their thorough troubleshooting. I found the controls a bit user-unfriendly, but there are a lot of options. The manual is pretty bad, and the firmware shipped needs updating. I really think this product was cobbled together quickly and rushed to market. No more Kenwoods for me!

Deff. Worth It.

I switched out my pioneer head unit for this one; it was the greatest thing i did for my sound system. I love the features of this product, some you don't need if you don't have an extended sound system. i specifically love the subwoofer RCA output, because you can set it to block out higher frequencies. the only thing i noticed was that when my car would reach 105+ degrees, the sound gets somewhat distorted after blasting it for 5+ minutes. but only when your car gets HOT. I do recommend this product. oh yeah, where i live i don't have many hd radio stations, but the sound quality of the regular channels are better than ever.

Best Head Unit Under $200

The HD tuner works awesome and it has tons of features for the price. The ONLY thing missing is a built-in high pass filter, but other than that it's hands down the best HD head unit

Great radio

Works perfectly with Ipod touch 3g. 1/8 input jack lets me plug in a laptop and watch movies through the stereo. The only drawback is that it has a single line display. You can't see the station or artist information and the clock at the same time. I love all the functions such as being able to adjust the sub cut-off frequency on the fly.
