  • Very happy with radio
Style: Wireless
So far I'm very happy with the radio. Sound is really good. It was easy to connect Android Auto using bluetooth and then it went wireless so I don't have to leave the phone plugged in. . FM radio sounds good. I also tried USB with music files on it and it worked great. Easy to navigate the songs when not using Android auto. When the radio starts up again, it's where you left off. A feature I didn't realized I needed was the option to turn off the display. I found I really like being able to do that while driving at night. Music still plays and it easy to turn on the display by just touching it. Not a fan of the 10 second warning, but I guess they feel they need to do that. Backup camera powers up fast and it seems accurate. Overall, I'm really hoping this is the last radio I need to install in my car. ... show more

Excellent sound and frequency range. I could not be happier with the sound, and wireless CarPlay is a big plus. I installed this unit in a 2010 Mazda MX-5 with drastic improvement over the stock radio. Great job Kenwood!
