  1. ELITHA

    It works amazingly. The Geek squad had a difficult tume with my vehicles wiring but they worked it out.

  2. brian

    quite literally the best radio i’ve ever owned. Absolutely love the sound quality increase too

  3. Jawbee

    The wireless carplay is the best. Even the tech who installed was surprised it had wireleess carplay for the price. Great stereo

  4. JuliusK

    Works great. Easy to use. Love the android auto bluetooth connect feature. Easy to switch between phones.

  5. Deancot

    I love the new stereo. I can now get the higher Sirius channels. Back up camera view is great. The only things I dont like is when it first turns on automatically pulls up Spotify which I dont use and if I have the Sirius app open on my phone it automatically goes to that instead of previous channels I was listening to priorto turning off. There may be a way to change those settings but I cant figure it out.

  6. Smallportnotworking

    Very good unit has everything you need for a good price highly recommend

  7. Josh

    Great radio and the wireless carplay functions flawlessly.

  8. ThomasM

    Great sound and I would give it 4 stars but the Google Maps and Waze go crazy on me 30% of the time. Not sure if it’s an android auto play or Kenwood issue but it does cause problems for me at work.

  9. ManuelL

    I like the knob less design but of course that means you’ll be getting the screen dirty every time you use it. All features work flawlessly. Install was easy.

  10. ScottS

    Easy to use, was plug and play in my F-150! Still learning some of the features 😉

  11. HenryP

    Great product, easy install with Best Buy.connects easily

  12. AvaN

    Very pleased with the radio as well as the explanation I was given on the ins-and-outs of it’s compatibility in my car specifically. Only a 4-star review because I wish best buy would have listed the additional part I needed in order for the buttons on my steering wheel to connect to my radio. Overall good experience and mechanic explains everything very well!

  13. Dee706

    Very nice radio. It has the witeless car play option.

  14. BrendenM

    The product is great. But even better is the installation crew at the Virginia Beach location.

  15. Chuck

    Great sounding system, backup camera is better then expected.

  16. EstherJ

    Easy to handle, good operations and multifunctions

  17. Nasbruh

    Great radio with great feature! I got the pioneer at first but I am glad I switched to this Kenwood. The response time is perfect with steering wheel. Has a further range for bluetooth. Wifi Carplay works great!!

  18. DRMB

    Bought this unit to put into my SUV. Had it installed by geek squad at UTC in Sarasota. As soon as I drove home unit failed to turn on. Could not reach anyone at the store. Had to call manufacturer to do a hard reset. Powered up again after hard reset but has subsequently not turned on again two more times after hard reset. Impossible to reach anybody.Left message for geek squad to call me back last Wednesday. Have not receved a call back aftet a week Best Buy makes it impossible for you to reach anybody at the store. It is a 60 mile drive for me. Do not waste your money with Best Buy. Customer service is impossible. Find a real reputable place to do your car radio purchase and install. Someone that actually cares about their customers.

  19. Christina

    This radio is amazing and the installer was too. We are a military family and don’t have a lot so this was very special to us

  20. JustinK

    I really like this stereo, fits in the dash like it was meant to be, looks really slick, easy to operate and love the seamless android suto functions.

  21. TamikaZ

    Love this radio. Still learning how to use it though

  22. Mason

    The wireless android auto works great and is definitely my favorite feature. The sound and customization of the unit are also great

  23. unfulfill

    IT IS LIKE HAVING A NEW CAR. Has android GPS. Works great

  24. BigBob

    Love this unit great sound and features and ease to use I would highly recommend this unit.

  25. Charles

    Besides the small glare that happens. I really like this unit.

  26. BenjaminC

    Simple to use and set up. Shouldnt have to worry about paying to updates maps because the maps come from my android phone. Has several preset equalizer settings to chose from or you can create your own. After market radios you get what you pay for, after two months no complaints.

  27. St8ovmynd

    Returned the Sony head unit in exchange for this and couldn’t be more satisfied. The “capacitive touch” screen is just as responsive as my phone’s, the screen gets bright enough to be useful in direct sunlight, and the wireless Apple CarPlay makes a huge difference over having to plug in. This is a great head unit!

  28. RayZ

    Great wound by it again reasonable priced good quality for the price

  29. Victor

    Had the headunit installed professionally and had it had a very audible hissing sound when using car play. Took it back and had them re-do it and it remained. If you listen to your music quietly you will hear it

  30. Crystal

    It worked well at first now it keeps disconnecting.

  31. James

    Love this radio. I put it in my 08 wrangler and love the wireless CarPlay.

  32. snakeisekans

    Works pretty great, enough adjustability for audio settings, pretty responsive, gets bright enough during the day, and dim enough when driving at night. Would rate this a 4.5 as it does take a while for Android auto to connect.

  33. Rick122481

    The Radio crew at the Victorville store are great, thy are the best knowledgeable Radio installers and repair persons I have know.

  34. MistaC

    This is an outstanding unit, great features,great sound and amazing functionality!!

  35. Tommiet

    Nice design and killer video resolution.

    Easy to read screen in day light.

    You will pay a little more than others, but well worth it.

  36. Joey

    Perfect upgrade for my 2012 Chevy Impala, have had such a great time driving. The carplay/Android Auto being wireless is a huge bonus too.

  37. Isaac

    The sound is great and you can customize home screen. Draw back you get to use WIFI OR HDMI not both at the same time.

  38. Thatdude1588

    I personally have had issues. I don’t like not have a volume knob. But to.make it worse the put the A.I. Mic (siri/ok google/ bixiby). Right above the volume button so if you hit it alot and there is no way to disable it on the HU.
    Also I have an extremely bad grounding issue that I’ve tried every single way to,get rid of it besides accepting the fact that it’s a. Defective HU

  39. michael

    Put this unit in my Corvette….sounds awesome…very pleased

  40. KarenS

    Very disappointed with performance. Erratically reverts settings while driving. Does hold the station choices.

  41. SarahS

    Works well has some flaws kicks you out of android auto intermittently back up camera is reversed super Annoying

  42. PeterC

    Solid radio! Installed in my wifes jeep and connected to aftermarket back up camera. She is enjoying the apple car play features and has no complaints. Great radio for the price.

  43. AMOR

    Overall, I really dislike any aftermarket “radios,” but this unit is just so user friendly and convenient. I had to move on from my factory radio in a 97 chevy and the factory look of the OE radio to use this thing but its definitely worth the convenience.

  44. bundesbug

    Navigation is easy and intuitive. Screen is not FHD so pixelation is noticable and screen glares a lot. Really hard to see anything

  45. Tony

    Great replacement for standard Honda accord radio. Seamless connection.

  46. KevinH

    Sale were very helpful. The sales person was quick to arrive and assess our needs. Then found a nice match to our budget.

  47. Paul

    The receiver is working great. The wireless CarPlay is operating without any issues. Great tech improvement for the 2003 Chevy Truck.

  48. KeenanB

    Like it, would buy it again. Would highly recommend

  49. Enigma420

    One of the best head units i have installed. So many different fucntions and abilities. And having the access to add front and back cameras is really nice.

  50. SivaramakrishnaG

    Working as gd try to buy this product u will definitely satisfy
