Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great

Easy install blue tooth works slick and with no external mic to run. Bluetooth music works well also.

good product

this is a great product coming from kenwood. in the lower price range but not at all lacking in features. installing it was simple as could be and the sound is crisp and clear. only down side is my factory door speakers start distorting at volume lever 25/35. nothing to do with the head unit but it makes me realize how bad my current speakers are. no wonder i can barley hear the music over my subs. over all a great product. buy it.

good value for amazing features

i love the bluetooth and the capabilities of the phonebook of which it allows for me to scroll thru call on the head unit. so many setting for the subwoofer i was amazed at. havent ot to the usb and aux input for the MP3 player features.good buy!!!

Great Stereo for the price !

Installed this stereo with kicker 6" ks and it sounds great it has everything you need to make your lows and mids highs sound good and it got pretty good output.

Great Value

Great Value. Plays real well. Simple controls and i can connect my mp3 player with no hassle.

Radio

This is my second ken wood and I love it it's very easy to use extremely reliable and great sounding

Excellent upgrade

This is an excellent upgrade over my factory CD player. Bluetooth calling is a nice feature to have. My only complaint would be that it is a little slow/cumbersome to navigate the ipod using the stereo (a little bit of lag maybe?) Overall, I'm very happy though.

Awesome Buy!

I absolutely LOVE my new stereo!! I can charge my phone, listen to my itunes or pandora accounts or talk on the phone. I love that I can control everything with ease!

Awesome deck

Kenwood deck is great value, great design and easy to use.

good value easy to use

i like the deck in my work van with infinitys 2x 6.5 2x 5 inch sounds great but theres always a but i replaced my dieing pioneer mp6800 with this deck plays well until volume level 25 plus decks same power as my pioneer same series op amp built in heres the problem heat sink on deck is 35 percent smaller and it runs hot so when volume is high thermal cutoff on amp starts shutting down and distorting as soon as i can im plugging in external but deck is smooth operating controls ipod nicely so i am happy with it and would buy another for my vitara 4x4

Great deck

Just got it put it in easy shipped fast and free love it and sonic

LOVE IT!!!!

I have had this deck in and I LOVE it, it made me change my mind about kenwood. Best buy, best value, wouldn't go back to a Sony deck if you paid me!

Lots of features !

I do recommend this headunit ! It has some cool features on it . Blue tooth works well on it . The install is pretty basic but don't forget to mount your hands free Mic . Bottom line it's a great unit for the money ! About to but another for a friend !

Very good

Has all the features I could want and great sound for the price.

Amature Installer

I bought this for my daughters Acura because she wanted to be able to play music from her iPhone. This Unit with the free install accessories was a piece of cake. Had the unit installed in under a half hour. Sounds great. Could be a much more expensive unit by sound quality. Pushes 4, 6 inch speakers very well. Will distort if you turn it up to stupid level.
I would recommend this unit and Sonic Electronix. This is my second purchase from this vendor. Exemplary service both times.

Killer Radio!!

Just installed the radio and I love it. I have been installing radios in my own vehicles and friends' vehicles for years now and this one is my favorite yet. Bluetooth functionality is awesome and works great with my iPhone 4S for streaming Spotify and making and receiving calls. Being able to use Siri through my head unit is great. Highly recommend this Kenwood unit!!!

nice deck

Looks great, easy operation, lots of options. Easy to use bluetooth, and good sound. A great upgrade from stock deck.

mic is horrible

Unit works great, hands free mic is horrible sounding on receiving end. Returned it for an external Mic.

Best HeadUnit There Is!

I put this in my 91 Camaro yesterday and I must say I love It. Sound is great....Bluetooth is clear Pandora is a nice touch but streaming audio could be a lil better. Unit responds fast and pairing it with my Iphone was a breeze! I thought I would have to change my Factory Speakers but they sound great! I highly recommend this unit! Great price Sonic and good job Kenwood. I will be buying another for my Civic!

Not compatible with all steering wheel controls

When using this stereo with a steering wheel control (yes, the steering wheel control unit was specified as being compatible with this unit) it would not allow the installer to program the Mode button to switch between stereo bands instead of input mode, nor to have the Ch +/- button to switch between stereo presets instead of seeking. When replaced by a similar Pioneer unit, these functions were possible.

Can't go wrong with Kenwood

I recently installed this in a friends '02 Silverado and it's a nice little unit. Packed with features most other brands only give you at a much higher price point. Not only that, it looks and sounds great too. If you're on a tight budget and looking for the best sound and features, look no further, this is your stereo!

I really like this unit

I purchased this unit to replace the aging oem unit in my Wife's Suburban. Luckily for me I have a good friend that is a stereo install expert. The install with the supplied mounting kit and wiring harness went off without a hitch. The unit has a ton of features and sounds pretty good with stock speakers. I'm upgrading the speakers in the near future along with an aftermarket amp. I mainly got this unit for the Bluetooth capabilities and I've used Kenwood products in the past with great success.
Cost for what you get make this unit an awesome deal (IMO) not to mention it looks sharp.
Would definitely purchase again and recommend.

KDC-BT648U

This unit is kinda driving me crazy. Always goes into demo every time its turned off. Doesn't restart at the same function where it left off when you power the car down. Always scrolling through menus. Kinda sucks.

Great choice!

I have owned this product for over 3 months.
I have no bad things to say about it, except the BT audio. People I am calling while using this unit say the audio cuts in and out, or I sound like I am in a tunnel. The display is good. In retrospect I should have just spent a little more money to get the BT848U whuch has a three line display.
