good product

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-BT652U).

this is a great product coming from kenwood. in the lower price range but not at all lacking in features. installing it was simple as could be and the sound is crisp and clear. only down side is my factory door speakers start distorting at volume lever 25/35. nothing to do with the head unit but it makes me realize how bad my current speakers are. no wonder i can barley hear the music over my subs. over all a great product. buy it.

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.

good value easy to use

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-BT652U).

i like the deck in my work van with infinitys 2x 6.5 2x 5 inch sounds great but theres always a but i replaced my dieing pioneer mp6800 with this deck plays well until volume level 25 plus decks same power as my pioneer same series op amp built in heres the problem heat sink on deck is 35 percent smaller and it runs hot so when volume is high thermal cutoff on amp starts shutting down and distorting as soon as i can im plugging in external but deck is smooth operating controls ipod nicely so i am happy with it and would buy another for my vitara 4x4
