I have had this receiver for about 2 weeks now and I can say I really do like it. The clean looks sold me on this unit vs. the Alpine (way to busy IMO) and it goes great with the interior of my '91 MR2.
I have yet to really mess around with the DSP but once enabled, tons of settings await you! I tend to bypass the DSP right now and just listen to everything flat, I want to get used to that before I really start tweaking the EQ.
The Bluetooth is flat out the best I have ever used from a call quality standpoint, crystal clear and I dont even have to yell as my cab is not known for its quietness, (very loud engine noise and road noise) but just talking normally works, at speeds, the caller can only hear a little bit of background noise, so its a winner in my book (and I can have my right hand for shifting again)
The only downside is price, I was hoping with all the mechless that they would not be as pricy seeings how there is no mechanical drive but they are really pricy. Having said that, I am glad I picked this up.
Two Thumbs Way Up!

Good stereo for standard use.
Issues: no voltage output on rca's, a little complicated, artwork from iPod is slow to load and while loading you can't skip tracks until it has completed (5-10 seconds time varies) installation and set up is timely. Adding HD and satellite radio are a pain even if you go to kenwoods site there is no real instruction.
Positives: clean looking, sounds good, Bluetooth works very well.

Very nice player. However, kenwood could remove some of the useless options like which color would I like, and replace it more importants options like better music searches or various types of random plays. All and all, I would purchase the radio again.

I was looking for a head unit w/o a cd player and wanted to focus on iPone/iPod playback. I mostly listen to Pandora and MOG and the KIV-BT901 works great for that. The artist, song and artwork displays beautifully and is easy to control with the KIV-BT901.

Great radio. I do not miss the CD player but was disapointed because literature said it will play music over bluetooth from my phone but it does not.
