Great Sound Bit Confusing @ First

I just got this installed in my 2005 Frontier it looks great and sounds great. My only complaint is that it has so much stuff to figure out you don't know where to start. I also have the KCA-ip500 iPod adapter and the quality is great yet confusing to navigate throug the deck. Also has numerous menus that are annoying

Great head unit.

Pros: Cool looks, great sound, has all the eq'ing that you need, and is overall pretty customizable.

Cons: Other than the player not reading a cd every once in a while and it being a little difficult to go through the menu and options at first, I can't really say anything bad about it.

Awesome HU

Ive owed this HU for about 4 weeks now and it leaves my old pioneer 8400mp at the starting line. First and for most price from SE cant be beat. The HU has 5v preamp out that produce crisp, clean sound way better then my pioneer, included AUX input (ipod), color display, more gadgets then an inventors booth. Some cool features i liked is that you can angle the display, turn off the internal HU amp(if using ext amp), front and rear HP filters can be set indiviually, color of buttons can be either red or green and can set audio presets to memory incase of battery disconnect. One final word keep manual on hand because at first it can be tricky but ive got it down pat. Dont pass up this HU you wont be sorry.

Awesome!!!!

I recently purchased this deck and installed it into my delsol, I Love it!!! The features are absolutely great especially the aux input (great for ipod),motorized angle adjustment,selectable screen savers which you can download from kenwood. The only downfall to this deck is the screen in direct sunlight cannot be seen, but thats the only thing I have found. If your looking for a great deck I strongly recommend this one, you get tons of options for a great price. Thanks sonicelectronix

Best For The Money

This is one of the best head units around. It has five volt pre outs so it will send a really clean signalto subs or speakers. Plus you can download screensavers and wallpapers onto it of the internet.
