Title: Welcome to the 2020s!
Review: Upgraded my 2012 Nissan Altima stock radio with this one and it is amazing. There was plenty of info on YouTube about the car and the stereo that, for the first time, I was comfortable installing my own car audio. Having CarPlay is amazing. I also just got the SyncKid iPhone Wireless CarPlay Adaptor and that is a great addition — you don’t even have to take your phone out of your pocket when you get in the car. I highly recommend that one if you’re going to upgrade your stereo to have CarPlay.Only downside is that the FM radio is not great and there are some stations that I used to be able to get that I no longer get. HOWEVER, most of them have their own apps and you can put that on CarPlay and just listen through the app, so not taking a star away for that.

Title: Good reciever at an affordable price.
Review: I replaced a factory head unit with this and paired it with a wireless android auto dongle and everything works great. The USB port is in the back side so you can hide a wireless dongle behind the dash and have the same functionality as a more expensive reciever for significantly less money. Sound quality is great and the UI is easy to use. The only complaint I have is that the touch screen does lag a tiny bit.

Title: Very good Product
Review: Reason for 4 stars is because the steering wheel control are not working. And there is no online help

Title: Not even remotely intuitive design
Review: Installation was a snap, I will give it that. Beyond that, once it’s in place and on, this thing is awful. And to make matters worse, they only include an installation manual, not a hard copy of the user manual. You have to download that, so there won’t be a nice tidy, small copy to stash in the glove box for the poor soul who borrows your car and tries to figure out how the stereo works. Since I spend a lot of time in different rental cars, I am familiar with the way a lot of different touchscreen stereos work. This one is so far from intuitive to program and use that I’m going to guess that anyone who borrows my truck will either need a personal tutorial or at least to have me turn off the radio and leave it off. Unless they get down super close or have really sharp eyes, they won’t be able to see the microscopic print for any of the menu “buttons”. Since my truck doesn’t have a steering wheel control for the stereo, you have to know where to look for the (again – microscopically labeled) volume controls and tuning is only so-so at best. Adding favorite phone numbers means either scrolling through what in my case, is a really long list of contacts imported from my phone (with no “go-to” alphabet list, you have to scroll through the whole thing) or you can enter the number by hand, which means there is no option to put a name with it or even put in the dashes to make it more readable. You’ll end up with 5552221212 instead of 555-222-1212 in your favorites list. Time will tell whether or not the android auto or car play features turn out to work as well as I know they can. This unit is over-complicated to the point of absurdity and seems designed specifically to be hard to use. Major disappointment

Title: Great value
Review: First Kenwood head unit. I’m usually a pioneer fan for headunits, but I was very happy with switching. The adjustable audio function are amazing. Kenwood put some thought into these units. If you like fine tuning your audio this will be perfect. Also the screen is crisp, touch control is flawless. Bluetooth connection is seamless. The android play is pretty cool.Things I don’t like – android and apple play needs wire connection. 10 seconds to device to connect and start playing once you start vehicle.

Title: That Darned Ole Delay
Review: Got this a few months back and I have to say wiring it was simple has full support for steering wheel controls also has great Bluetooth range don’t know why that’s important but it’s an awesome feature also has nice backup camera view parameters Crystal clear picture tho the image seems to be washed out a little however that could be just my kenwood camera great audio quality supports Android auto and Apple Carplay also has a mirror screen for Android devices don’t know for Apple devices as I own an S20 ultra do note it doesn’t mirror wireless tho you have to run a USB cable to your phone in order for it to work so for me that feature is useless unless I have passengers that wanna watch YT. Overall it’s a great radio.Drawbacks.One major drawback I have with this thing is the hands free phone operation as an on call electrician I spend a lot of time in my vehicle and on the phone which is one of the main reasons I purchased this radio because of its hands free talk the issue is it has a delay to it sometimes 30 seconds or longer meaning when I am talking to a customer I will say something and it takes them about 25 to 30 seconds to respond which is very annoying and I know it’s the radio because when I switch to speaker phone it has no delay I ask the question and I get an immediate response. I don’t know if this is a bug in the radio hardware or in its software but if you’re like me and you spend a lot of time on the phone in your vehicle and you like your calls over your sound system this is not a good option because of that darned Ole delay hope its something kenwood can fix.

Review: We replaced the radio UVO system with this new unit. Everything works! I also bought an harness for it to work the Kia Sportage sx model. The only matter is to get the specific harness to work with your car make and model with specifics for your onboard instruments. Be sure to order the right thing. I baught an harness that said 100% compatible with my car make but 2 features weren’t available so I had to improvise.

Review: Mostly unhappy because while it can connect to mobile device wirelessly via bluetooth, it will not do carplay wirelessly. You must plug into USB cable. Considering the $87 chinese stereos can do wirelessly. It’s very lame $500 more with Kenwood wont afford you that feature.Nice interface, latency on input isn’t bad, feels ok, marginally slower than smartphone but not an issue. Faster than Chinese interfaces.
