Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome

I have always liked Kenwood. And this is my first double din, and I am very happy with it. 5 stars.

Great Buy

I love my kenwood DDx272 very ease to use ,is have a very good sound,nice size screen. It's everything tht you would want int a stereo .

Great!

A great touchscreen if you don't want Bluetooth. Works as expected and is a great fit for a 2004 Mercury Mountaineer. Sonic was less expensive than the other guys (C*****field) and I was able to buy the Sirius MX adapter with the savings! I had used the 'other guys' before and Sonic was every bit their equal

Great headunit!

Great product, especially for the price! I would definitely recommend it.

Good bang for your buck

Does everything I need it to do. Very nice headunit for the money. Wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

Kenwood DDX271

Nice product, good sound and picture. For the IPOD/USB interface get the KRW-202 cable.

I would recommend this stereo, I installed it into a 2006 Ford F150 and it was super easy to install with the faceplate and the ford cable adapter.

Nice TouchScreen

This was my first DD with touchsreen, it performs very well and looks great in my challenger. The screens are easy to navigate through. Beware if you have a charger, challenger or 300 you will have to modify the subdash to make a DD fit.

Better than stock

Nice head unit better than stock. I like it alot very nice product.

kenwood ddx271

Just got it and love it works with iPhone 5 all my songs are on the screen so easy to use love it so happy i went with this one

kenwood DDx370

I would recommend this radio to anyone! Great unit for the price and looks great in my car.

Good entry DVD Receiver

This is a good entry DVD Receiver. It is not an Excelon so it will be missing some features. I do like the 4V Preouts and I was able to get the mpg playback working from USB. I use the USB mode a lot and a Con would be that moving from track to track is not as rapid as other receivers I've had.

Great Value

Nice unit for the price. Only real issue is the volume as another review pointed out. Hadn't planned on using an amp for door speakers but had to run this almost full volume to get loud. Some recordings the speakers still have room to go but the volume on this unit was maxed out. Installed an amp with much more power and not a ton of improvement. Still need to get this thing into the mid to high 20's for decent volume and it will max out shortly after. For a 4 volt unit I shouldn't have to turn the gains up on my amp but may have to to.

Kenwood DDX319

I purchased my Kenwood DDX319 from Sonic Electronix and I was impressed to receive it in only a few days. I came with a wire harness and radio installation kit (FREE)! I simply unbolted my old radio and bolted this one right in. I have my DDX319 paired to a Polk Audio PA1100.5 amplifier (5 channel amplifier). The DDX319 has a sufficient amount of pre-outs to run ALL (5) channels on my amp (FL, FR, RL, RR, SUBWOOFER). The touch screen is customizable and looks great in the dash of my Ford F150. I have used the Tuner, AUX Jack and USB functions on this radio with much delight. The touch screen has a protective film on it and it is VERY durable. It's been almost 2 weeks of constant use and I have yet to "clean" my screen. When I do find myself needing to clean it, a simple .99 cent sunglass lense cleaner should do the trick just fine. I don't have an iPod so I can't comment on that. However, I have used my Creative X-Fi Zen 2 .mp3 player and my Samsung Galaxy Note Cell Phone (with .mp3 songs on my phone) in the AUXILARY FUNCTION. It works fine and sounds great. You will need to purchase a separate 3.5mm cable. The Kenwood screen will display "NO SIGNAL" but regardless, the music (.mp3's) will play perfectly fine. Be sure if you use this function, that you adjust your .mp3 players' sound controls (equalizer settings, volume, etc).

Good stuff

This thang puts out some serious sound and at this price it's great.

excellent radio if u can deal with a few things

The radio did everything that it was supposed to. Worked very well with my Android phone. Navigating through the functions was easy and on point. Sounded nice an clear, but there was one thing that killed it for me: I like loud music, and the volume control only goes to 35. My stock radio goes 31. Wasn't clear due to the 2 volts, but was louder than the Kenwood, even after I bumped up the settings on this radio. It was the main reason why I bought a new head unit. For the price, it should be able to go to at least 50. Other thing is the USB/iPod port being in the front gets in the way of the volume control. You will hit it if you're not paying attention. I could live with it if the volume could go higher. Oh well. That's what I get for leaving Pioneer, which goes up to 61. All in all, still a really good radio.

Good buy

The stereo looks really good haven't got it installed yet because the other adapters and wiring harness I bought with it for my truck doesn't seem to work

would recommend great head unit for the money

easy to use great interface looks great in my accord sounds great with all my jl audio components and sub i would buy it again

Very nice

Very nice display and built good ,doesntt have a front usb or aux .

AWESOME UNIT!

Great unit for the money.. Great sound and really easy to operate.

Great Head Unit

This head unit is really cool, espeacially for the price. I had this installed in my dodge charger and it really enhances the sound clearity
of factory speakers. Not too long after getting my head unit, I purchased a pair of Infinity 6x9's for the front doors and MAN I can't even describe good the sound is. I read a few bad reviews about Kenwood head units saying that their volume doesn't exceed 35 and that Pioneers head units go up to 60. Well the factory uinit in my charger goes up to 35 as well but when you talk about sound clarity, its like comparing iPod headphones to Beats By Dre headphones, they don't even come close, and why would you want the volume that high without subs. Another thing, once you add a pair subwoofers like I did, the volume won't go exceed 15 without giving yourself brain damage, trust me. I highly recommend getting this head unit.

Sweet

Easy install looks and sounds great, came with free harness and install kit great job Sonic😀

It's real good

It's works good .I will buy it again if I have to

overall good set up.

Works great , touch screen needs to be re calibrated when it gets cold. Also power up a time between songs "next track button " is slow for this type of system . Buttons you press don't alwayse work. Last and most annoying is the back button is right next to the tiny scroll down button .

not worth it

Its was a great radio for a few weeks then it started cutting in and out on the highs. Then I bought a highs amp and then it was fine. But overall it shouldn't have broke. I would have returned it but I didnt have the box anymore.

Issue with music on USB drives randomly cutting out

Im having an issue and had tried now 2 different usb sticks. It seems to be very touchy on its usb capabilities. Some songs will cut out for 5 seconds. Im not sure what to do all in all it sounds good but the main reason I got this was to play mp3 files from a usb media. Seems well made. I will keep troubleshooting until I make a final decision. Also files loading from USB is slow.

volume

No matter how hi the number is your radio turns up to 30 to 60 the amp power of your radio is balance out between each other

great buy

Bought this unit with 2 kicker 12's comp. already had 2 12's comps. After installing the unit it made a big difference my 12's hit a lot harder. Anyway installed the other two now gotta avoid the tickets lol will make ur ears bleed

great radio for good price!

Good radio. I installed this radio with ease. It makes car speakers sound louder and it also have 3 pre amp @ 4volts which is good for connecting amplifiers.

Great product for the price

I just received my DDX319 and you can tell its a high quality head unit. I will be installing it today in my 2008 Ford Escape and I can't wair. I've owned a Kenwood KVT-911 indash flip out dvd before and hearing everyone talk about how Pioneer's volume goes to 61 & Kenwood's only goes to 35 really doesn't matter. The built-in amps on both head units are set for their volume range If you have amps and you set your gains the correct way both units will sound good & get just as loud as the next. (I've owned Pioneer before too..). Both Kenwood & Pioneer are great products. As for Sonic Electronix, as always great service and my order was delivered right when they said. The only problem was the amp kit I ordered had to come from their California location so it is takinga couple of days longer, but I was called the same day I ordered and was told of the problem. That's top notch customer service if you ask me. I've been buying my audio equipment from Sonic Electronix since 2008 & will continue to in the future as well...

Great product.

I love the stereo, easy to use thr usb connection is great touch screen works perfect I would recommend this product.

Great product

Easy install, works great. Has the features I was looking for

Jammin'

This is a great feature packed head unit. I have nothing bad to say it is loadad with sound alternating options. Very happy with my purchase.

Great for my Cadillac Double din

Sonic always delivers, 3rd time back, Good unit, no real complaints, Kenwood moved the touch skip up a bit from another model I owned, not as easy to change the song while driving without looking usually, the other model you could just touch the bottom right of the screen while driving and not looking, and the knob no longer has a rubber ring around it, just stuff I thought Kenwood should know.

Nice unit

This receiver has some nice audio control features for the price. Sound quality is good also.

Best reciever

This kenwood is the best one I've ever owned.I love using my phone hands free.I would recommend this receiver to anyone and also at a great low price,thank you Sonic Electronix!

Great Headunit

A quality head unit that really improved the factory stereo system in a 2003 Toyota highlander. Significantly improved both output and sound quality of the factory speakers which allowed me to leave the factory speakers in place. There are a ton of audio settings within the head unit to help your system work to be best of its ability. The only thing to be aware of is there is a learning curve to figure out which setting does what. You will need the user manual and do some online research to make this work to the best of its ability. Never had a single issue for the 4 years it was in the car. I would highly recommend anyone.

best bang for buck

This radio is really nasty! You can change the themes, it has options out the ying yang, I don't even understand some of the settings to set up the audio because it goes pretty in depth other than just bass, mids, high. No you can tune each speaker in your car with this thing. Pandora connects and you can use your radio to even up and down vote, scroll through play lists, it's the app built in the head unit.
ONLY DOWN SIDE!- if your buying this because it's android compatible, don't.(meaning it's only compatible connected to usb, blue tooth on the other hand it is wonderful) That setting has bugs my phone keeps disconnecting and reconnection so much it makes me pissed off. And I'm a glass half full kind of guy. The USB cord/port (it's own extention because USB runs out the back) is very weak so if your phone is dying forget it. It runs your battery down more than helps. So that's why I say the usb/android function has a bug. But it'll still work excellent on Bluetooth.
