Buyer Reviews

1st all the positives. This is a outstanding sounding stereo! It has really fantastic, excellent, potent sound. The sound capabilities are stunning. It has a cross more than for each and every channel. The volume control is not as poor as I thought it is going to be immediately after reading reviews. The hands no cost phone works well. Many people hear me very clear even when it is loud in the vehicle. The phone connects easily without complications as soon as I get in the vehicle. HD radio is also pretty beneficial. The really feel and looks of this unit get thumbs up. Controls/setup are a great deal more complex when they can be but one can easily get by way of them.
Now the negatives. The presets for radio stations are awkward. The stereo does have Bluetooth, but you can use receiver for telephone only. It will not connect to audio supply. Hence you will not be able to play music or hear GPS from the telephone wirelessly (this is a large negative for me). Pandora Box feature did not work for me at all! I do have an Android phone and that is probably the purpose, nevertheless I believe it need to work with all phones. If I connect the phone through USB and attempt to use it as a flash drive the random feature does not work nicely. When I play folders in random identical folders/songs repeat over and over again. Even so the play setting on the stereo have no problem changing themselves at random. If I set it to random folders and exit menu, upon return to same menu the setting will transform to continues play or anything else. The JVC KW-XR810 in my wife's automobile has no problems operating with any phone. Bluetooth connects as audio source and phone. It is also much less highly-priced.
If you have I Telephone and you are seeking for stereo that has excellent radio, can play CDs, and can connect to you phone wirelessly to be applied as speakers end microphone only to speak on the phone, and you do not thoughts wires, this radio is for you. Yet if you are trying to decrease number of wires in your vehicle, and you want to use your smart phone for a great deal more than just the phone this stereo may well not be for you.

I did substantial research for a new head unit for my new vehicle. I needed something with built-in Bluetooth, a Pandora connection for my iPhone/iPod, and I preferred a unit with USB/AUX connections in the front. Well, I got two of the three. I located that I basically favor having the connections in the rear (which this unit has). The Bluetooth top quality is substantially better than I ever imagined and I truly appreciate the ability to control my Pandora and iPhone through the head unit. I had an Alpine that allowed that, but did not give me close to the versatility and access to my folders and files that this unit makes it possible for. I get pleasure from being able to have my contacts stored in my head unit, though they are not the easiest to navigate to (so I nonetheless dial from my handset). This unit does take some finding used to, but there are a plethora of sound adjustments that permit the driver to get the exact sound desired (once you are able to figure anything out). General, this is the very best stereo head unit I have ever owned...and it really is pretty appealing, also. I was a tiny tentative when I did not see many reviews for this unit, as it is a newer model radio. I looked at its predecessors and felt comfortable. Also, offered Kenwood's track record of excellent technologies, I felt as though I produced a superior selection. Turns out I did.
