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.

Great Stereo for the price !

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-BT648U).

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.

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

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.

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

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-BT648U).

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

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-BT648U).

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!

KDC-BT648U

The following review is for a previous version (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.

By should have shopped more on August 30, 2011

Great choice!

The following review is for a previous version (KDC-BT648U).

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.
