Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pretty good but not great.

Pretty cool unit, lots of features. Wish there was less glare on the screen. Sounds good after a lot of eq adjustments. Alost too many sound change options and every source (cd,radio,satellite, Bluetooth) sounds different so you're constantly adjusting levels..otherwise navi is great and the unit is easy to learn.

Best Double DIN GPS Unit

Kenwood have come along way with their Double Din Units. The UI is much faster than previous configurations but keeps the easy to use interface and the Garmin GPS which I still think is the best out there. Sound quality is good and it is a great value for what you get.

The straight up truth from someone who knows this game.

I've had two Kenwood double din navi's. The units are reliable, easy to use, and a good buy if you're not going big on a system. Like all Kenwood head, unit's it badly suffers from second rate internal amps and general overheating. Anyone who has owned a Kenwood (and plays it for extended periods of time) knows that they can't bang it for too long. They start to distort and drown d out after an hour or two. I do a lot of highway driving so I know all too well. The 2V output is also an issue. At 2V, you're amp's are hardly being pushed, even if the volume and gains are cranked. If you're spending $800+ on a head unit then chances are you have or are buying high end amps and speakers. It's just ridiculous to have such a low output on such an expensive unit.

It's a solid unit but in my opinion Kenwood needs to ditch the 4 channel internal amp all together, make way for some more fans and up the output voltage to at least 4. 5 or 6 would be much better.

In dash stereo with Nav

I had the unit and a back up camera installed by a professional and was in and out within 20 hours. I am very happy with the unit. The only problem is that less than 30 days later the price was dropped by $20.

Should have waited two weeks.
