Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this stereo as I wanted to hook up my Ipod to my 95 Buick century and replace the outdated stereo system. The stereo itself is a great deal for the price, I noticed an increase in the quality of my sound without replacing the speakers. I also think that once you get used to the product, it is fairly easy to program, set, and use on a day-to-day basis. Overall, I am really enjoying this product and rock out every day in my car!
This stereo is fairly user friendly, I didn't read the instructions (although it comes with a very detailed set...) and I was able to figure out all the functions that were important to me. You can have 6 programable radio stations, and choose from many different "sound" settings- Rock, Pop, etc... OR make your own, which is what I did. It also gives you the option to increase/decrease your bass levels AND also boost the bass with an additional "Bass boost" feature. The source button is easy to find and use. The spinning know feels heavy and smooth in the hand and almost glides when turned. I think the buttons are easy to read, although small.
I have a few issues with this product: The screen whites out when in sunlight so you can't see anything, and the faceplate release lever looks and feels a little flimsy, I am always very careful to take care and be gentle with it as I remove it. Also, I wish the stereo would revert back to the source/time it was set on before you play with settings though, if you don't hit the back button it just sits there on whatever screen you were fiddling with.
Although this system claims to be able to hook up Ipod's directly to the system, mine does not work. I think that my Ipod is so old (First generation color screen-must be 5 or 6 years old) that it no longer recognizes the software. This means I am unable to control my Ipod with the stereo itself, which is a downside for me. If you are unsure about your Ipod's compatibility with this product I would call Kenwood as they have an excellent customer service helpline. Fortunately, I am still able to hook up the Ipod with the AUX port with no problems whatsoever. It sure was awesome to blast my favorite tunes in my car for the first time!
If you are not planning to have this stereo professionally installed, it can be quite a process and you need to make sure that you or someone you know has this expertise/materials. First, make sure this stereo will fit in your car. Then, you must first access your old stereo to remove it, which depending on your car can be tricky. You also will probably need a harness to convert the old wires/adapter in your car into ones that will plug into the stereo system. You will also need to attach the wires via sauder or crimping. You may also need an antenna converter and a kit to actually mount the new stereo system in your dash using the old components of the mounting box. Overall, you can order kits with all of these components and do it yourself (which I did at great frustration) OR you can take it to a professional which might cost you 50-100 $ depending on the company. Just know that the system does require additional components to function in your car.
