Radio

This is my second ken wood and I love it it's very easy to use extremely reliable and great sounding

Excellent upgrade

This is an excellent upgrade over my factory CD player. Bluetooth calling is a nice feature to have. My only complaint would be that it is a little slow/cumbersome to navigate the ipod using the stereo (a little bit of lag maybe?) Overall, I'm very happy though.

Lots of features !

I do recommend this headunit ! It has some cool features on it . Blue tooth works well on it . The install is pretty basic but don't forget to mount your hands free Mic . Bottom line it's a great unit for the money ! About to but another for a friend !

Killer Radio!!

Just installed the radio and I love it. I have been installing radios in my own vehicles and friends' vehicles for years now and this one is my favorite yet. Bluetooth functionality is awesome and works great with my iPhone 4S for streaming Spotify and making and receiving calls. Being able to use Siri through my head unit is great. Highly recommend this Kenwood unit!!!

I really like this unit

I purchased this unit to replace the aging oem unit in my Wife's Suburban. Luckily for me I have a good friend that is a stereo install expert. The install with the supplied mounting kit and wiring harness went off without a hitch. The unit has a ton of features and sounds pretty good with stock speakers. I'm upgrading the speakers in the near future along with an aftermarket amp. I mainly got this unit for the Bluetooth capabilities and I've used Kenwood products in the past with great success.
Cost for what you get make this unit an awesome deal (IMO) not to mention it looks sharp.
Would definitely purchase again and recommend.
