Kenwood Excelon DPX594BT

I put a new Kenwood Excelon DPX594BT radio in my 2004 GTO, and it is fantastic! I wish I had done it a year ago. But, I kept trying to get the stock radio to work. This new Kenwood is like a computer on steroids! Thank you again, Crutchfield, you have made my day!

Tons of options, great sound, only one issue.

Sounds great, doesn't clip even when turned up to max volume. Nice clean signal 5v preouts. Face scuffs up ridiculously easy and when the sun hits it you can really see the swirls, that's my only gripe.

Kenwood unit met all requirements

Had 3 requirements for replacing my stock unit in 2006 GMC: Must play cd, bluetooth for phone and steering wheel controls must work. Took Alex's recommendation, purchased all services to ensure unit was plug and play. When I received the unit I removed the old one and installed the new one in about 2 hours.

I love this head unit. Purchased for my 5th gen 4Runner and it's a huge improvement over the stock. Being an audio engineer, I really like all the options and settings available for digital processing. My only complaint is you can't use the iOS app unless you're playing through bluetooth (i.e. you can't play files off a USB stick and use the app to adjust settings).

Trusty 2002 4 runner

Installed this Kenwood DXP594BT unit in my trusty 2002 Toyota 4Runner ( Limited 4 WD). Transferred the 2 side mounting brackets from the factory radio. Screws matched up perfectly. (Note: this avoided using the metal box "cradle" that came with the new unit. following the "cradle" install method, you would have to bend tabs to try to make the unit fit well - transferring the 2 brackets, easily, made a perfect fit in the radio "hole" ). This is my 3 rd unit install (3 different cars) with Crutchfield, and the experience with the folks on the phone was, and is always, first class. They were patient, knowledgeable and understood the specifics of the unit I had bought. ps...I paid the extra few dolllars to get a custom "plug and play" harness. This made the final connections very simple - well worth it !

Best stereo ive ever owned

This stereo is absolutely amazing... I haven't hooked it up to my new excelon speakers yet but, with the amount of sound personalization options and the ridiculous volume that it puts out, there's no possible way that I'm not going to be blown away (literally and figuratively). I've heard people say it can be slightly confusing... I found it to be surprisingly easy to use considering the amount of options. I'd also highly recommend the crutchfield ready harness... That thing is amazing. I'm definitely going to be a lifelong customer after this experience!

Made My Aunt Happy!

Bought it for my aunt and she loves it! She needed an updated stereo that was Bluetooth, had an AUX, and a cd receiver. Now she can play her iPod! She was thrilled with the features and the color changing. Happy to have made her happy with her new stereo. Thank you! Instructions aren't too bad, just play around with it and you'll get the hang of it. Don't worry about the glare from the sun people mentioned in other reviews. All stereos will tend to get a glare from the sunlight. Doesn't take away from all the cool functions. I had also gotten myself a new stereo from here a few months back, a Sony and I LOVE it! Can't go wrong with these guys! :) Might get my sister one for her birthday.

I got this for my girlfriend as a birthday present and installed it for her.

Save yourself the time and use the Crutchfield readyharness service. Great product. You don't always have to get the best of the line. Settling for the lower model is more than enough.

The Alexa feature doesn't work all of the time, which is frustrating because that the reason I bought this unit. It will work maybe 3 or 4 uses. Then it immediately flashes "call" as soon as you push it. Maybe it's because the unit isn't compatible to my phone, I can't use any of the phone features, which would have been nice to know before I ordered it. Sounds good, looks cool. I have the Google pixel 4, my boy has the 3, neither one of them work with the phone features.

Outstanding Head Unit!

Outstanding upgrade head unit. I can't say enough good things about this head unit! Looks great. Menus and controls are intuitive and easy to navigate. Enormous control of all functions. Sound is brilliant! I installed this in a 2009 Ram 3500 as the first step in a complete stereo system. Even just adding the head unit to the stock system was an enormous upgrade and better than 90% of the car stereos I've ever heard. After installing a subwoofer, new speakers, and some sound insulation, my old diesel truck has a stereo better than most home systems. You can't go wrong with this unit.

Very featured pack unit

I purchase my 3rd unit for our 3rd vehicle because of the sound quality and features. After install the first thing I did was firmware update. One of the best head units I've used with the Alexa feature. Works very well with my home automation. I do have a wish list for future firmware or future units, please allow startup volume option. Occasionally my teen may leave the volume turned up when he exit the vehicle. So when I remote start the car in the mornings it may be too loud and disturb the neighbors before I can get in the vehicle. It would be nice to have the radio turn on and be at volume 3 instead of where my kid leaves at 15. Again this is just a wish list for future unit or firmware updates but love the unit plus it works well with my XM radio module.

Easy Price..Great Features

Purchased the Kenwood DPX594BT as a replacement for my OEM 2015 Ford F-250 as my SYNC system failed and prevented my from playing USB files and I did not wish to invest in repairs. This Kenwood Excelon double din was the perfect choice. It has better sound then the OEM radio and features excellent front panel controls that allow easy selectivity. Front display colors are totally customizable and even allow different colors to be chosen for the LED display and buttons. The phone button is within easy reach and allows calls through the included visor mic and the system speakers. Phone calls come through loud and clear on both ends and sound excellent through the speakers. I have my music on a small Micro SD card and use USB adapter and plug right into front USB slot. Unit displays folder and file info. The Spotify, Alexa features are there but I don't use them. As a bonus, the included steering wheel control module was a snap to install and retains my Media, Volume and Seek on the wheel. The harness and install kit was a simple deal taking all of about 30 mins. All in all, this Kenwood seems to fit the bill nicely and is a definite improvement. If you need a reasonably priced Double Din look no further.

Outstanding radio!! This makes my old radio sound like junk, I had it prewired and it installed so smoothly, now I have BT for phone and so many features I haven't caught up with them yet. I did need a tiny bit of tech support but they came through on a Sunday morning and I was on the road by lunch!! As always Crutchfield always goes the extra mile

Not bad for price.

Nice unit for the price, love that you can match the color to the dash color so it looks factory. The owners manual that comes with it is lacking a lot of info, like what exactly all the sound settings do so you are left with doing a lot of experimentation to get the right sound. And then when you change to a different source you are doing it again. The power seems to drop off as well, there is a lot of change in volume from say level 3 to 20 then after that very little.

My old truck sounds like a new one.

Great way to revitalize the sound system in my old truck. Plugged it in and it just worked (with the ReadyHarness). Had to file down the lip at the top and bottom of the dashboard opening but I knew that going in thanks to Crutchfield's excellent vehicle knowledge. I haven't figured out the Alexa thing but I didn't buy it for that anyway.

DPX594BT Review

Nice replacement unit for stock radio (2005 Toyota 4-Runner). I appreciate the available installation instructions for my particular vehicle. Two drawbacks - depending on the lighting colors chosen, glare makes the display unreadable; I wish it would play more music formats. Posi-Twist connectors are used, which are great! I'd change that to Mini Posi-Locks so the joined wires are in line.

THE Source

It has been quite a few years since I last purchased from Crutchfield, as I have not had a need for any new audio equipment. However, when I purchased a new vehicle I knew straight away where to go, to get the best options, prices and service. These folks do an awesome job all the way around, from their most helpful decision making information for each product to the excellent customer service and expedient order processing. We have been customers for almost 30yrs. Thank You... R

Sonic Bliss

OMG! After pestering several Crutchfield audio specialists, I finally chose this Kenwood for a replacement of my stock Shaker 500 receiver/CD. First, hats off to Crutchfield employees who are all so great and helpful and nice! Makes me want to move to Virginia! This unit is incredible! Beautiful display options to match both my grabber orange Mustang GT and the dash display colors! This Kenwood makes my stock speakers come alive and there are infinite tone shaping and sub woofer settings to satisfy your preferences. The controls are simple once you have gotten through the learning curve. The install on my Mustang was straightforward with the master sheet instructions and just a little help from tech support. Having never done an install, it took me a little more time, but in the end the install is beautiful and looks stock in my car. 10 stars to Crutchfield and thanks to everyone that helped me find such a great car system.

Nice head unit

Very nice head unit. Great that it can play WAV files via the USB. Plays CD's without excessive skipping (rarely use though). Excellent sound tuning options for the money with Spodify, crossovers, 11 band equalizer, time delay & basic DSP features. Obviously not as good as a stand alone DSP costing quadruple this deck. However, it is light years ahead of my old deck. Improved performance of my system in my truck (2 amps, quality 6.5" components & 10" sub) with the EQ, crossover & time delay. Recently sound deadened my doors so it added icing to the experience. Has a few quirks with the bluetooth. I downloaded the Kenwood app on my Android but unit didn't hold correct time & a lot of sound functions. Had to shut off the Sync function & it works much better. Annoying issue is it's sporadic turn on when I start my truck. Does great with in Accessory. Rechecked the harness & wiring but I believe it's the new wiring scheme from Kenwood. Overall a great unit that I enjoy using & in my opinion can't be beat for the money.

The first Kenwood that has let me down

The first Kenwood product that has let me down. The sound quality is very good and head unit performance is great BUT this unit has an issue with the Bluetooth phone connection. I installed this unit (brand new out of the box) in a 2009 Nissan Frontier pickup in May 2020. I've had an ongoing issue where when using the phone to make or receive a call. I can hear the other party but they can NOT hear me. To fix the problem when it occurs which is about once a week now it requires pressing the re-set button on the front of the radio by the USB port. Everything works great until the Bluetooth messes up a few days later where I have to re-set it again. The problem is definitely with this unit and not the phone. I had a Samsung J7 Pop when I installed this unit and about a month ago got a new Motorola Moto G Stylus (128gb) and this unit has acted up with BOTH phones. I'm curious if anyone else is having a similar Bluetooth issue with this Kenwood model.

Just What The Pony Needed!

Bought this unit to replace the Sony I had installed years back. It is the perfect fit for my needs. It has all the features I was looking for and then some. Love the 3 zone color on the face of the unit. This unit is much easier to navigate than my Sony. The sound is great and I like the way even in Arizona sunlight I can still read the display. I would recommend this unit to anyone that is looking for more features but doesn't want to pay more than a few bills. For those that are looking for just a few setting this might be a little much. I have always purchased my auto stereos from Cruthfields and have never been disappointed.

Very Good to Excellent

Really its a 4.5 star rating. Perfect for an 05 Camry with limited steering wheel control buttons. Very easy access and intuitive control buttons with just the right amount of control. With just the left side buttons on the wheel, this stereo fits just right and mixes the perfect combo of hands-on and remote control of the radio. I still like to reach over and adjust volume and it's actually faster sometimes. The buttons are effective and have good feel. Setting stations is a breeze and the added CD player is nice since I have a bunch of CDs. Though I've ripped them all to FLAC its still nice to throw a cd in and listen away. The only issue I have with this stereo is the EQ could have more intuitive settings and maybe some more options and the output seems a tad less quality than some other ones costing 2x as much. I think control nob stereos are still where its at and there should be stereos in between like on newer cars where you have control nobs along with the digital screens. Digital screens alone are not as effective, distractive and cumbersome.
