Awesome Kenwood

I purchased this Kenwood for the great sound quality they produce and for the wireless CarPlay and HDMI

Cons- you have to purchase the KCA-HD200 separately in order to get the micro HDMI to work. Others won’t work due to the outer casing being to big

Great radio for the price!

I got this for my 2010 Camaro and I love it! Apple CarPlay works perfectly. Very easy to figure out. Only thing that could be better is that their is a slight lag when going through the menu on the radio, but other then that very solid.

Best head unit I’ve had yet

Good quality sound and great built. Way better than my Alpine ilx407!

By Damon on March 15, 2025 Checkmark Icon Verified purchase
