kenwood

Buy all Kenwood products!

Great Unit-Great Price

I want a unit with GPS and good sound but this one had so much more.
The flip up screen works so well. And cool looking. I thought I would would be trying to install this all day but 2 hours is all it took.
The only thing I do not like is when you add the wall paper you can't get it to come to the front of the screen. Maybe that will be on Kenwoods next Ver. Can not mark Durability as I just installed it.

Awsome

I luv my head unite Kenwood is great

Great product

Kenwood is always solid, most features for the price. Better than Pioneer and Eclipse

Great Product! Great Value! Lives up to th Kenwood name !

Bought this deck about a week week and a half ago. Installed it my self . wiring was not bad at all but does have many wires that need crammed back there as it has so many options. This is the best quality deck out the for the money. Better than many 600-1000 dollar units. Very easy to use interface. It is a solid unit and performs flawlessly. I use it in conjunction with a 1000 watt 4 channel and some polk door speakers, sounds great. Love the way it opens and closes very solid not glitchy like other units. only problem is every once and awhile the kenwood cable I bought for the iPod says that the video has disconnected and the screen goes blue. Has only happened twice, and is the ONLY issue I have ever had with a kenwood radio. overall i would recomend this radio to anyone and everyone. Only advice if you watch movies on the go , purchase the remote and if you have an iPod buy the cable. definatly worth it in the end. best deck on the market in its price range!

AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!!

Got my deck in the mail today and installed it in my vehicle without any trouble. Sound is impeccable and the features are great. does not come with remote but it is still a great deck.

An awesome product.

I've had this unit for over a year now. I made a major mistake cleaning the screen which rendered the touch screen inoperable so I replaced it with this one from Sonicelectronix. I have the Garmin GPS installed plus a rearview camera and my IPod. The IPod controls work like a charm for both music and videos although it took some time for me to figure out how to watch video. DVDs play very well with a great picture coming from a small screen. Sound quality from this unit is amazing. This is my first experience with a GPS unit and I find the Kenwood KNA-G610 Garmin add on unit easy to use. I love having this GPS unit. I purchased the Kenwood cmos-200 rearview camera and this camera gives me a clear and detailed view when backing up. There are numerous settings in the setup menu and does take some time, trial and error to set things up to your liking. I am extremely satisfied with this unit and I highly recommend this unit to anyone looking to purchase a single din multi media unit.

AWESOMENESS

Installed my deck as soon as I got and its great. Kenwood makes quality items. The USB connection has to be my favorite. No need for iPods when a flash drive is cheaper

Outstanding!

I owned the Kenwood Kvt-696 and I'm sure this will have very little difference if any. The options are great and the features are well thought out. if you get the navigation its a good choice Garmin is one of the best out there and this deck works great with the options. Recommended to anyone. Just another well built product from Kenwood!

The Best!!

Just get it!! You will be happy with all the features!!! Just installed mine!!

Awsome product

I would recommend this radio to anyone It is just as advertised !!

Very Nice Head Unit

Looks great installed and built great. A quality product. I would recommend this head unit

Great Head Unit

Great head unit, easy to use. Great menu display, excellent adjustment options. Best on the market for this price, it beat my $1000 Alpine unit of the same style, by a long shot I might add. The only negatives I have for this unit is that the Nav is a separate unit that costs the same amount as the deck, as well as the remote control and iPod connectivity sold separately with no package deal offered. Might have been a perfect score if the Head Unit was for sale in a package with the Nav system, a remote, and satellite. That would have been perfect.

amazing!

first, Ive want a Kenwood headunit before i ever owned a car. the reason is, because i love how far it can come out, and the way it flips out.
its unique. i just bought this one from sonic and I'm just amazed!
every flip-out out there has barley anything to offer and no audio control.
this unit will have u lost in things for hours!..just so much audio control and options....its fast acting, beautiful exterior....just 10 outta 10

Okay for the money

I purchased this item for a BMW 325i. I own several Kenwood dvd head units and I can honestly say the KVT-516 is my least favorite. It does as advertised, it works well, the interface is flawless and I would definitely recommend the unit.

Pro's:
It is better than every single din unit on the market.

Cons:
The single din unit does not match up to the double din units. No graphic equalizer adjustments, no gain control from the screen, the graphics are not mind blowing (atari look) and the double din has so many options that cannot be added on.

I definitely recommend the unit and I hope more add on's are available for the KVT-516 in the near future.

Great price!

This unit did not disappoint. It is everything I wanted and expected. Installing the unit could not have been easier. The sound quality is great. The picture from the DVD player is great. There are a lot of settings to learn and some of the software settings are strange. It was puzzling trying to figure out what algorithm they use to sort the music when using a USB stick. Getting all of the album art to show up was tough. I finally used Media Monkey to set all of the Id3 tags. Over all a great media player.

Not sure

I purchased this deck, and loved it for the first 2 days, after that the screen would shut off and not come back on. I would have to shut the whole unit off and turn it back on and that may or may not solve the problem.
