Great Deck, Good Price

Plays from most devices. Works good, anyone can plug in to play what they want to here.

The con, for me is to many function on one nob. Give us two nobs to split the duties, my older deck has them

The Kenwood name pretty much says it all.

I've lost count of how many Kenwood head units I have owned over the years (not to mention all the Kenwood amps, speakers and EQ's), and this one lives up to the reason I purchase Kenwood over and over. It's an awesome deck with killer features for an unbeatable price! I love how many colors you can select from for the lights! The remote is awesome too, but could use a little re-designing. I would love to have a remote with backlit buttons, where you could press a button in a corner or on the side and it would light up the other buttons. The hardest thing to find in the dark are the FM/AM selection buttons. Actually, pretty much any button below the up/down and forward/back are almost impossible to find in the dark. This baby has all the right features I'm looking for, looks nice in my car! I have to admit it takes some time to figure out how to go through your folders on your music USB flash drive when you plug it in. It always starts on the first song on the flash drive (by A-Z), unless you were previously listening to a certain folder, then it resumes at that song when you plug the flash drive back in. But it took a LOT of cussing and fumbling and looking through the manual to FINALLY master how to go through folders! In my case, I sort my folders by genres. But now that I mastered it, the process is simple! All-in-all, I love this deck! Th only thing that drives me up a wall about this deck is that there is a little vertical bar that continues to go up and down non-stop on the right of the display when you're listening to any source. It's annoying as heck! But no way to stop it or disable it. I'm guessing it's there to show you it's playing something. Still getting used to some of the many features, and some functions take a little work finding, but I assure you that if you buy this one, you WILL be happy!

Great deck

I bought this deck when my stock one pretty much died. Install was actually pretty easy. I love being able to plug in whatever device I have and listen to music on it. love the variable color display that's actually one of the reasons I got it, I think it has 24 colors it cycles through. I got this about 10 months ago and its still going very strong. If your looking for a replacement or upgrade deck for about 100 bucks this is probably the best you'll find. The only con I had was figuring out all the controls but after a week or so I had the controls down. you wont be disappointed if you buy this.

Great Receiver!

This unit sounds good and was easy to install. Naturally playing music through aux or usb seems to sound better than on the radio, although it seems to pick up a lot of channels! Navigating the menus are simple. After about 2 minutes you don't need to think about how to change the settings. It's that simple. The remote seems nicer than on a lot of the other radio remotes I've seen. I would recommend this unit to anyone for sound and quality. Sonic Electronix has great customer service! I would recommend both!

Great Deck!!

Hooked up without issues and sounds great!! I had everything I needed and installed it in less than an hour. Sonic Electronix is a great company and I would purchase from them again.
