Perfect Sound Quality, Sme Other Flaws

I bought this radio because of the amazing sound quality kenwood continues to provide. I am disappointed with the functioning of the radio when navigating through songs, changing inputs, or trying to do anything quickly in general. If you have lots of patience to wait for songs to load or a screen to change than this is for you. Like i said, the sound quality is top notch if that is what you are looking for.

Good Value

This is a great system, i had it for about 6 months. I love all the features it has, but my only dislike is the bluetooth capability with your phone. When you make or receive a call the call is not clear, there is a ehco. Good system overall kenwood just need to improve on this flaw.

Pretty good but not great

I was debating between this and a Pioneer and I went with this because of the higher screen resolution. I like the unit but I don't love it. I find the navigation of my iPhone's music to be less than ideal. The Hands free Bluetooth is pretty good but I get some complaints from people I call. The software, generally, is just OK -- it works, but it could be better. The sound quality is good, though I have it turned up over 25 much of the time (to a max of 35). It plays loud enough. I use the on-board amp.

love this head unit

This head-unit is great!!! This is my first multimedia player. The dvd picture is great. The controls respond fast. The sound quality is great out of the cd's, dvd's & Bluetooth. It has a very clean fit in my vehicle. It works fairly well with my android phone but I think I will get the iphone soon. It pulls up all my contact info & plays my music with the Kenwood app but can't control or see what is playing with the HU. I have to do everything with my phone on the music side of things. I think if I had the Iphone none of this would be a problem. I would recommend this HU to anyone who is looking for a great multimedia receiver. The cool factor is a must!!!!!

Great product great value

Had this unit for a few months now. Love it. Glad I went with kenwood an sonic. Only dislikes, no remote and the need to purchase a separate iPod cord.

Excellent product

Easy install with items recommend. I didn't rate durability because haven't had it very long. I will recommend sonic electronix to everybody.

good overall

This stereo is nice. I've always been a Kenwood fan. Pretty easy to navigate through the unit. However when I use the bluetooth my phone it doesnt always connect or it only connects to the phone and not the media audio. Plus this unit really needs a remote to to come with it.

good unit for the money

I have only own this product for short while I knew that Kenwood makes a great products but this one is the bomb I recommend anyone who wishes to purchase a great double din stereo to consider the Kenwood.

Top notch product

Easy to use DVD player, new product, worth the money! Debated between a few different double dins but I'm glad I choose this one. Install was fairly easy too, I would recommend this screen.

Best head unit ever!!!

This unit has surpassed all my expectations and is very easy to use. i would buy another Kenwood unit anytime, the sound is amazing.

Very happy with my kenwood purchase

I am very happy that I purchased the high-end option of the Kenwood screen as it seems adequate but considering it is for a vehicle it is OK. One ugly problem during the installation was the need to set a "hidden" option to enable the use of Axxess ASWC-1. Menu, System, Remote Sensor=ON. I spent hours trying to get the steering wheel control to work. Thankfully Axxess toll-free support pointed to me to the solution. Sonic providing the wiring harness and dash kit is a major bonus to the competition. Four annoyances with the Kenwood deck- 1) Any media source takes at least 10-15 seconds to start playing after power on. 2) Power on sequence always set the screen tilt to 0 and back even with the off and on tilt being the same. 3) The screen shows a 'Check Surrounding...' message with the backup camera. You can tap the screen to clear the message but it is annoying. 4) Haven't found how to navigate a DVD's menu.
Cool feature: You can turn the rear camera view on while driving.
I'm deducting for durability because the tilt/DVD eject mechanism doesn't look like it will make it 5 years. One reason I don't like the system check screen tilting. The less the mechanism moves the better. A lot of buttons on the panel are double mapped- tap is one function, hold is another and marginally labelled. Example: Menu/System Power This is the best labelled buttons.
