Great sound quality with easy to use features you want
I've had many headunits and kenwood excelon has always been my favorite. And as a long-time android phone user it can be hard to find options not more focused on carplay. This one does it right! It's a nice compact size leaving plenty of room to hide wiring behind. Setup is a breeze, and the startup process doesn't take long at all. Connecting wirelessly is among the easiest I've ever had to do. The sound quality is surprising for the money, and the functionality within android auto rivals some brand new vehicles. I also added a universal backup camera which this unit does great with. Just make sure you aren't trying to run the camera in AHD because this head unit doesn't recognize that format. Overall, I'd highly recommend this if you want to save 30%+ over some of the other options. This offers plenty of value. ... show more

Works awesome!
Kenwood never fails to impress! Works awesome. The menu and overall operation isn’t super convoluted at all. It’s actually really easy to use. 10/10, would recommend! And for those wondering, the Apple CarPlay works wirelessly. Plugging your phone in to the unit is not needed to use it.

What a Beast!
I had Kenwood’s top of the line unit put in 10 years ago. It was a great unit but Kenwood stopped supporting the firmware. This unit appeared comparable according to the specs but oh what a beast! Every note in my truck brightened up and clarified so much I had to turn down all the gains on my EQ and run almost a flat response. The accuracy and fidelity of this unit was so bright it almost drove me out of the truck until I adjusted the gain on all channels. A smooth rich sound starting coming through with accurate sounding musical notes. I love the touchscreen rather than the tactile buttons but that is a very subjective choice. The display is non cluttered but bright and clean. They all have a glare problem in direct sun but I won’t take a point off for that. It has adjustable cross over functions to even finer tune your notes but after the eq adjustment I didn’t find it necessary. I had the hdmi cable attached during installation as an option as it plays different formatted video for my wife. I haven’t tried the function yet but one can assume it will work well as even the aftermarket backup camera was color, bright, contrast, etc adjustable. The trees always showed up pink until now. Green trees fully adjusted with Kenwoods system, There are more features on this unit I haven’t even touched that are extremely fine tunable for the picky audiophile. This isn’t even their top of the line unit and I’m thoroughly impressed. I would recommend this very unit to anyone with a very discriminating ear. ... show more

Overall a great stereo
I have the 7709 wired model as well as the dmx 809s. The 809 does a great job with Android auto. The hd radio sounds great. And the video quality of the backup camera is good. The only slight complaint is the same as with all of them, they're never as bright as a factory stereo. So a little dim in bright sunny day. But not horrible. I'm very happy so far. ... show more

Don’t buy if you want wireless CarPlay
Wireless CarPlay is trash. I thought pioneer was bad, this head unit is even worse. If that’s why you’re looking at this, move on. Kenwood’s customer contact info is bad as well. Definitely don’t recommend, kenwood and pioneer should sell a spare starter for your car for as often as you have to shut your car off to reset the wireless CarPlay ... show more

Product works very well and I am happy with the purchase
I purchased this radio for my wife's older model Toyota 4Runner which had the original radio installed in it. The sound quality was outstanding and my wife can now use Apple Car Play to make phone calls, listen to Satellite Radio, among other things. I highly recommend this product.

Back up camera only shows backwards
Sound and installation were good but back up camera does NOT have setting for mirror so I can’t fix everything being backwards. No connectivity issues so far or responsiveness. Fits well in my 2004 f350 with some minor trimming so far value for money isn’t the best with back up camera issues.
