Great Stereo!

The following review is for KMR-555U, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Very pleased with this Kenwood Marine Stereo! I actually had a Kenwood in my boat but, it was not a marine stereo. Dont know why I didnt get a marine one in the first place! That stereo lasted me 3 yrs and it got wet several times until it died! So, this new Kenwood Marine is awesome! Fortunately, for me it was plug and play because the wire harness was the same. The LCD is nice and bright and controls are user friendly. Stereo sounds great!

Awesome

The following review is for KMR-555U, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I needed a basic head unit for my bass boat and this one did the trick. I do recommend buying the wired remote with this unit because it makes it easier to control the unit from different parts of the boat. I've only owned it for a few months so I can't say much about its durability but it looks good and I'm glad I bought it. I only wish it had Bluetooth.

good value

I bought this for my 2003 Rinker, took out old Kenwood and my new one plugged right into old plug. Great sound from CD player, USB port. But when I plug in my xm radio line into front auxiliary input the sound is cut in half and have to turn volume almost to highest level to be able to listen to the music. Other than that, it looks great and I am very happy with purchase.

Basically good

This product has so many features and capabilities it's AMAZING! However a few more easily labeled buttons would be helpful on the front panel. For instance, an ON/OFF button would be very helpful. We have this in our boat (it is a marine radio after all) and every time I get in the boat I have to whip the owners manual out to figure out how to do anything. It took me 10 minutes this weekend to figure out how to manually tune a radio station. We got the complete setup including the wired remote control (externally mounted) and are very satisfied.

Good sound, Not wireless remote capable

It sounds good, does almost everything it should, wired remote on back of boat works good, but it NEEDS to be wireless remote capable. Even my OLD Jenson that came in the boat had a floating wireless remote. We spend a lot of time out of the boat and its a hassle to climb up on the back to adjust the stereo.
