great all around buy

I love this stereo. It works great and keeps its sound quality at high volumes. I have spilled drinks on it and it still works. The cd player works great and never skips unless you are off road. The radio kind sucks to pick station. But if you are like me and use Aux and ipod hook up, this is the a very nice unit for that.

good value

deck works great. Has way more functions then I actually use, most seem over the top to me...like SMS texting?? seriously. The user manual is a novel. Overall, it does a great job as a stereo, the AUX and USB inputs in the front were the main features I wanted. Love the remote too.

worth the money

bought for son's birthday, he loves the USB port. Good price, but found that it's less on the store web site than Ebay.

Quality Built Kenwood

Installed this stereo for a customer of mine. Great stereo, full of features, and easy to use. When it came time to add to the stereo system Kenwood made it straight forward and painless. Definitely recommend this stereo.
