Good unit just read the manual.
Exactly what is described, I was leery on purchasing after reading the reviews on the screen being really dim or hard to see, but if you actually read the manual it has a 20 degree adjustable viewing display adjusted in the units setting menu, note the whole units face does not tilt. When adjusted properly the screen is bright and visible in even harsh sunlight. The sound quality is great and the Bluetooth connects very fast and it's way better than the pioneer deck I replaced with this one. Over all the deck has way more features than I'd ever even use, my one and only complaint is the USB connector being a 4ft cable off the back of the unit. It's not ideal and now I have this 2ft cable sticking out of the side of my gear shifter but over all its a great unit.

Great stereo for the price and features
I used this to upgrade my 90s car stereo. Nice touchscreen stereo that I connected to the stock wiring for the speakers and the external subwoofer I added to the system. It has good adjustability on on the audio portion and I can adjust the subwoofer level independently, which might be common but is nice. I had to adjust the audio levels for each of the SXM, CD, radio and Bluetooth since they were all different volume levels, but was easy to set. I used the features to show what size speakers I was using and if I had a subwoofer. I like the touchscreen, just wish it had the option of showing a gps map on screen but I know that would require a more costly deck. I’d definitely buy it again.

Love it
Great radio, awesome sound quality and customization. Don’t like how dim the screen is and it’s got some bugs in the software.

Amazing Customer Service
So you will get a card included in your unit basically saying if you have any issues to text Mike.. well first off, the Kenwood works perfectly.. I love it.. but when I was installing the backup camera (not part of this unit or purchased from Mike) I had a question on the wiring.. could not find the answer online so I called Mike. Guess what? MIKE IS REAL AND HE ANSWERED THE PHONE! He was super helpful and knew his stuff and answered my questions and for that reason I highly recommend this seller and this product.

Great for DVD/CD, and iPhone Mirroring
I bought this head unit after a lot of research. I wanted a reasonably priced unit that had DVD/CD, as well as be able to mirror my iPhone. There are some good YouTube videos on the cables needed to set up mirroring, but in my opinion, that is one of the coolest features of this unit. It's a little costly to buy the cables, but being able to listen and watch everything on your phone is just awesome. Much better than just pandora or spotify via appleplay. I installed this in a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 using a Metra installation kit and harness. Turned out really nice. I've been using it for about two months now and so far so good.

Good sound. Bad radio for newer phones...
I have a note 20 ultra and it won't, I repeat won't connect right. Bought all the extra video cables to and notta. If u like wasting money get this radio. Sound is good but don't expect to connect to ur phone. I've tried even shaking my dog over it to see if a piece of hair would help. (I don't own a dog) gonna buy another radio that is a bit better compatible with my phone. Maybe I just got a bad radio.... I wouldn't know because I threw away the box already.. or I would of sent it back.

1995 Honda Accord. Don't worry about buying an extra install kit
The stereo was the cheapest one of it's kind that I could find. It does exactly what I needed to do and it fit with minimal modification and no extra install kit. The install Kit hasn't even been delivered yet and I haven't completely installed and working my car without a hitch. A couple of sections of plastic in my car had to be cut out to fit and then I drilled for holes in the provided metal sleeve that came with it to mount it to the frame of my car. It is very secure. The face does not fit perfectly so I set it a little bit further out. It's about a half of an inch to tall, and about a half of an inch too skinny to fit flush. I'm happy with how it looks setting a little bit out. If I were to do this install again I would happily buy this stereo.

Slow interface
This stereo sounds absolutely amazing. It has more features than I'm sure I will ever use. My only real issue with it, is that it takes so darn long to boot up. And if it's set to read the USB flash drive, it takes even longer. Scolling through the songs takes a while too. You can only see about 5-6 lines, before you have to scroll. And when you do, the's a loading time each time you scroll. It's kind of annoying. And considering the max USB GB is only 64Gigs..that's not a lot of storage. It sounds great..so I just deal with it.. I mean, what would I do, rip it out and change at this point. But if you buy..Keep this in mind...It's very laggy performance..Cheers
