solid head unit !

I installed this head unit in a Toyota tundra . This Kenwood is a big upgrade from the factory Jbl head unit . Sound quality is much improved from the factory unit . The Bluetooth works flawlessly . The unit has plenty of cool features that you usually find on more expensive models . Looks good mounted to . All in all a Great buy for the money !

Remote Control Is Lacking

Since I mostly use the remote control I am displeased with Kenwood's RC-406"s limited ability.

You cannot cut your Kenwood unit on with it.. only off.

Basically you can only adjust volume..change channels.. and change source ( CD, Aux..HD Radio )

With my 5 year old Pioneer unit the remote ability was much more enhanced .
