I totally recommend this In-Dash. It is everything I expected and more! I had it installed in my 01' lincoln ls, and let me just say it looks as if this was the original system. Everything is great so far w/ this system, I 've had to play w/for about a full week now. It's pretty responsive, the colors on the screen is definitely bright and HD quality and doesn't have that dull look that I see from some of my friends systems. What I really like about it and one of the strong buying points for me was the built in Garmin gps. It works flawlessly. And so does the voice command. My only complaint is that I wish It allowed me to use my Android phone w/Pandora like some of the new Sony systems. But I suppose I will just buy an itouch or iPad. And another big plus as always w/ most Kenwood systems is that the bypass was pretty simple.

I love this head unit. It is a little slow, but it doesnt really bother me much. I am really disappointed that it doesnt support Android Pandora like it does iPhone Pandora. Still has a few glitches, not bad though.

I do not recommend this overpriced junk. Always jams up. GPS constantly loses saved addresses and I have updated it with latest software. Cannot charge iPod and iPhone at same time. Menu buttons too close together so you try to hit one thing and end up going back to where you don't want to be. Really really slow response from touch commands. Phone never calls who you want during voice commands. Telephone directory does not have alphabet next to numbers. The list goes on and on and on really disappointed I liked my stock radio much better! Highly advise to not purchase this crap.
