Worth the $$
I would recommend this system overall. I thought that it actually came with a navigation system ready to go and was Sirus ready, but the navigation has to be used through your cell phone, and requires a download of Mobile Auto, and uses your data, and some other type of module has to be purchased to use Sirus and then the subscription. The instructions could be a lot clearer on the setup and it isn't nearly as easy to setup and operate as other systems I've used.
Overall, with the pros and cons, I would purchase this again. There are a lot of features and the price is reasonable.

Some issues
Apple Car Play has an issue when plugged in to USB. Lots of static/noise. Also, my Bluetooth connection worked at first, then after a week, stopped connecting. I know there is a new update from Kenwood I need to download and will do that to see if it fixes the problems. Otherwise the deck is nice and looks great with great graphics.
Great Stereo with a Quirk
I'm really enjoying this radio. I bought it to replace the factory radio that I had added an iPod input and XM radio to. It's great to have everything in one package. My only issue is with the cord for the CarPlay connection. I can only find one cord that I can connect to the CarPlay. All of the cords have been official Apple products and they will charge the phone but not bring up the CarPlay and in fact that one cord only works on one side. If you flip it over, same thing as the other cords. I'm not sure what I'm going to do if it stops working.
