simple and clean best in car electronics

Easy to install and works very well, only complaint is Kenwood hasn't invested in an updated mobile app so don't plan on using a new phone with it.

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • Expensive

Successful purchase on Autoelektronik

Love it! I can listen to my podcast via Bluetooth. It comes with a microphone. Only plays one CD at a time, but is so easy to use that it's not a big deal. Had to install Best Buy. It's hard to find a CD player; Good quality.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Secret

Cheap but good: car and vehicle electronics

I have to remind you that this is simple. You can play CDs and Bluetooth. It also has preamps if you have RCA. There is a microphone for hands-free calling. I think it's good for the money. I don't need or want a lot of stupid features. I'm happy with it so far.

Pros
  • Hands-free calling
Cons
  • Basically good, but...

not happy happy on car radio

Everything seemed fine at first. Although he didn't pick up my Bluetooth a few days later. Well being fairly new to stereo I plugged it into the USB port but it works but says it reads. Now it doesn't even pick up bluetooth, the sound from the new speakers is distorted and I went through 4 different stereos in 3 weeks before settling on your stereo.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • No instructions

Sounds good, difficult to use.

I've been a Kenwood fan for many years. I liked the look of this stereo and the price was right. It has all the features I wanted (except for Apple CarPlay), the only problem is that the UI is a mess. The menus and controls are not well laid out, making it difficult to use. At the end of the day I wish I had paid more and gotten a better deck.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • I don't really like anything, everything is fine

Many missing parts. so don't know how it sounds

don't know who's to blame. I have been installing car audio systems for over 30 years. I opened the box and immediately realized that this device was already out of the box. The pads were plastic, there was no bracket to attach a dbl din, remote control and trim rings. So I wrapped it up and it's going back to Revain. I buy from the dealer now. I can't stand my time being wasted.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • 0

NOT AT ALL HAPPY for car and vehicle electronics

This receiver sounded great for about half an hour, then the rear RT channel became severely distorted. Well, these things happen, so I'll just swap it out for another. NO. The seller does not offer an exchange, only a refund. So I figured I'd just send it back and buy another one. Imagine my surprise when I found that the price had doubled in just a few days. As I spent half a day fitting the dash and wiring harness to this receiver, swapping out for a different model is not an option. Luckily

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • There are cons

Like thinking of a genie in a bottle

If I was trapped in a magic lamp to grant wishes, I would give this stereo to people who want Bluetooth in their car because of the technical requirements equivalent but implemented in the most annoying and uncomfortable way, so they won't like it. There is no way to prevent the head unit from seemingly randomly opening the Music app on YOUR PHONE and PLAYING whatever comes up. Starting your car isn't the same as wanting to turn on a podcast or audiobook and losing your seat, but buying this is

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Not everything fits
