Kenwood KDC-BT858U

Great Bang For The Buck!

This head unit has more bells and whistles than I expected. It gave me the luxury of not having to re-adjust my amplifier to its voltage output. When I found out it had a pre-amp built in that I can fully control it increased my likes for it. If you're a bells and whistles guy as I am I would highly recommend this head unit especially if you have a high powered system. Oh and to add I haven't used a cd since I bought it!

GOTTA LOVE THAT!

Amazing Stereo, great value + nice design

Excellent product, first kenwood stereo I've had and is fantastic. Really easy to installl, good hardware quality, nice design and great functionality. If you don't want to spend too much or don't want a cheap/crappy stereo get this, totally recommend it (even though I can't describe myself as expert on the subject).

Product was good but had trouble getting free installation kit. Shipped after radio was received, had to wait approx a month to install new unit.NOT GOOD

Good Radio

Good radio. Like others said it was a bit difficult to figure out the controls, happy with purchase.

Excellent deck for the price

Sound is great, easy installation, good price. Hard to argue with that.

Kenwood Head Unit

Well first off I may be biased on this, cause the only thing I have owned for years is kenwood audio..

But as far as this head unit is concerned, I like it its not the best HU for someone that isn't tech savy, the way you have to navigate to each menu takes a little bit. The worse part on this HU is the display which everyone that owns it will tell you the display is very poor during daytime operations, you will NOT able to see it if any at all. But in my opinion why would you need to really see your display once your driving anyway.. So it does not bother me, during night time operations the HU is great looking..

For the price and for the name that you are getting, its the best buy.

Not to great

I bought this unit for a commercial truck. The screen is hard to see during daylight hours, it's hard to go through the radio stations , also the Bluetooth is not the best. It answers calls automatically for you which I don't like and it might just be me but when you get off the driver seat the Bluetooth audio goes into static. Not what I was expecting for the price range.

static through speakers

when i received and installed unit i was very impressed with my new kenwood , I all i have ever bought before was JVC but did not want a new JVC receiver due to the flashiness, i wanted more of a factory look with less multi collard lighting across the front. This knewood unit has all the options i needed with blue tooth which pares easy to all my devices although when you get unit you will need to go into options and turn on all speaker use with blue tooth or you will just hear noise out of front speakers, but I might of just got a bad one but after about 6 months of ownership mine started putting static through all speakers in car very noticeable over Level 15. i get static through any source in...hoping issue will fix it self before i need to send in for warranty.
