New deck and 4

The deck works perfect exactly like it said it was easy to put in as long as you have the harness and I really didn't need the stereo kit for my application hooked it up and it sounds like a dream easy fast would buy again from this company. after I do one bazooka tube upgrade and plug in my external mic for D hands free I'll be rocking and rolling.

nice stereo

I installed this in my old subaru outback. What a way to freshen up an older car for my newly licensed son. All up to date. Pairs easily, buttons that are understandable and easy to reach, and streams without any problems. The display dims, but the rest is either on or off. I would like to dim the whole face to match the dash brightness. Oh well. I like it much better than a more expensive stereo in another car.

This is a great radio. Bought this for my sons car and he loves it. Love the bluetooth to be able to play his music from his phone with no cord.

Kenwood Car Sterio a Great Buy

This car stereo was a great buy from Sonix Electronics, pricing included mounting bracket and wiring harness that were extra cost at local electronics store. Installation with Sonix how to video on You Tube. Great sound in an older vehicle. I am very happy with purchase and recommend this to others. Be sure to watch the video for your vehicle.

Great Stereo!

This stereo improved the sound of my 2013 Mazda Miata. It added Bluetooth to use my cellphone with an external mic which I placed on top of the dash which people have said sounds good when they are talking to me. The stereo itself looks beautiful and it looks like an upgrade over my stock radio. Sound was greatly improved and mids and highs are a lot clearer over the stock radio. Lows also improved slightly which I am happy with. The phone volume is separate from the music volume which is a good feature I've noticed others point out. I've music over Bluetooth and it sounds really good. I am one happy customer and I definitely recommend this Kenwood stereo. No complaints at all.

Great radio

This head unit is very nice. Great sounds and lots of features that are easy to access and use . Blue tooth functionality is good once synced to your smart phone for both talking and listening to music. Love the ability to do PANDORA. The blue of the face plate is rather bright and distracting at night though, could stand to be a little less in your face.

Nice head unit

This is a good stereo. It has a modest amount of bells and whistles. It also offers expandability if one should want to go beyond its on board amplifiers. However it drives speakers well on its own.

Great stereo, and it was on SALE!!

Bought this for my husband for Christmas. He put it in that day, quite easily. He absolutely LOVES it. The Bluetooth works flawlessly with his phone. It looks great, sounds great, and was on sale when I got it, so the price was excellent. All around good product, I would recommend it to anyone.

Very Very Good Product

I recently installed this in my 2006 Camry. It is very easy to install (This is my first DIY on any auto & took only 20 min). I really enjoy all the features I was missing before like MP3 playback, Aux Input, USB and more importantly Hands free calling. I am really happy with the purchase.

Kenwood KDC-BT318U

I was surprised to find this item at Wal-Mart for the same price I paid for it. Then asked, by Sonic, to review it--where I found it had 'dropped' in price. I trust Sonic, and their merchandise always arrives on time! For the price, it is suitable. I am a bit disappointed in the FM tuner, even run by a 200W amp. The CD player never misses a beat, sound quality is great.

Great stereo

I installed this unit on my street glide. Fit and finish are great and the features all work nicely. I used the metra kit and the aswc-1 controller and all worked out perfect... still have all my hand controls on the bike. Love it... bluetooth works flawlessly.

Kenwood BT audio

I was looking for a unit that would connect my android phone wirelessly and this one did the trick. It allows me to connect any music or radio app on my Moto X android including the advertised Pandora and Iheartradio. It really works well with the BT connected phone and remote mic works great. No bad background noise if the windows are closed and receiver, cd and ipod connections work great as well. For the price cannot find a unit better. Sonic added all the right stuff for the install and had it connected in less than 30 minutes. I looked for this same unit at multiple locations but Sonic also had the best price and I love the idea of the return policy even if I haven't used it yet.

Good affordable Bluetooth deck!

Clean powerful sound, especially for the price; much better than an older Pioneer I replaced. Changing audio settings takes some getting used to but works fine. Bluetooth synced right up with my iPhone with no problems and connects automatically when I get in the car. Microphone sounds good for hands free talking. Love the USB and aux cable jack in front. Very happy with this product.
