Great Headunit

I would recommend this headunit for anyone who wants affordable clean and clear sounding music. There is such a huge difference in the sound quality of this headunit compared to my stock cd player

Superior quality at a great price!

Kenwood decks offer the best bang for the buck. Durable, long lasting, have another kenwood in my other vehicle that is approaching 3 years old, and have had no problems with it. Used to by Pioneer in the past, but after a year or so, they do not want to eject Cd's, mechanism goes bad. Would refer kenwood products to everyone!!

Not bad at all.

After trying to do a audio system on a budget, the kenwood MP245 seemed like the logical option. Went to best buy to test it out since they had a show model.

Overall, a very solid unit, no loose or cheap feeling buttons or knob, or faceplate.

Decent amount of functions for the price, it's not top of the line, but it's certainly well made, and will do everything you need a car receiver to do, I'd recommend it.
