Works great, the bluetooth connects quickly when starting the vehicle, and picks up right where it should. Installed in my 2013 F150. Only con is I wish the screen dimmed with the vehicle lights. At night it is a brighter than all my other instruments, however it is not too bright to drive or anything, I just wish it would dim.
Pros:
Cons: Does not dim with panel instruments

It'll do
Crutchfield customer from Adamstown, MD on 8/5/2020
1987 Jeep Wrangler
I've only had this radio installed for a week but so far I'm not very impressed with the controls...not very intuitive for an aftermarket products. Install was not difficult. Bluetooth and features seems to work fine. Manual is not that great, also couldn't get the KENWOODRemote app to even connect. I bought this because it says made for iPhone however I don't see what this benefit really does over standard Bluetooth. I didn't want a CD player but not sure if this radio is worth the price when there were a lot less expensive options. Maybe I'll be more pleased when have this a while longer and understand the controls better
Pros: Standard radio, works fine, bluetooth
Cons: Unintuitive controls

Everything I needed in a retrofit car stereo.
Crutchfield customer from Jacksonville, NC on 7/28/2020
1998 Ford Taurus
Everything I needed in a retrofit car stereo. Even though my vehicle had a 10 CD changer, I had long since stopped listening to CDs and either listened to the radio or streamed news, music, and podcasts through my phone. My streaming connection came through a cassette adapter connected to a Bluetooth receiver meant for an aux input and powered by a cigarette lighter extension that was cut and wired to the radio fuse. The setup actually worked well, but did not have full frequency response (something was missing in the mids). Then one day the factory radio did not recognize the cassette adapter and the adapter would not eject. Time for a new system. I went to the Crutchfield website first. I entered my car info and my "must have" filters and Crutchfield gave me several options. My son has enjoyed Kenwood car stereos in his car, so I decided on this model. It fits my needs perfectly. Full-range audio once again that sounds fantastic with my factory speakers. Bluetooth connectivity for all my streaming without a 3-piece adapter. The radio stations that I always listened to and even ones I could never tune in to. Hands free phone that sounds great. And a volume knob. The install with the adapter is very clean. I never could have picked out the right system this fast on any other website. Crutchfield customer from now on!
Pros: Great sound. Bluetooth connectivity. Digital only since I no longer use CDs in my car. Small footprint behind the dash helps with install. Volume knob.
Cons: Haven't found any yet.

Great Value and Sound!
Crutchfield customer from Denver, CO on 7/13/2020
2001 Volkswagen Jetta
Installed in a 2001 VW Jetta, works seamlessly with the Monsoon amp and sounds great with my stock speakers. Even seems louder than the original head unit. One stumbling block on the install was that then DIN cage was backwards on the unit. It was probably that way for shipping so it doesn't lock on. Therefore, I was installing it backwards and it took me a while to figure out I had to flip it around. The Kenwood instruction booklet diagram was really small so I didn't notice that detail right away. The Crutchfield master sheet and wiring instructions were awesome. Bluetooth and USB connection/charging works great with my iPhone.
Pros: Sounds great, great value, does everything I want it to.
Cons: Buttons are small and blue lighted icons are very hard to read.

A Solid Upgrade from Stock
Crutchfield customer from Raleigh, NC on 7/8/2020
1996 Buick Century
So far this head unit has been working very well. The option to connect via cable or bluetooth is nice, especially when I need to charge my phone. Looking forward to pairing it with the new Alpine speakers I bought when they arrive, as it made quite the difference with (read: almost immediately blew out) the stock speakers in my 1996 Buick Century. It would be nice if the Kenwood app were...better...but it's not so I'll just have to deal.
Pros: Huge improvement over factory radio Connectivity Sound quality (bluetooth and wired)
Cons: Kenwood App for iphone is clunky and looks like it hasn't been updated in years Navigation of menus is awkward Display doesn't name the song/artist/album etc.

The radio is just what I needed. The service has exceeded my expectations rating it to the best I've ever had with any company. Installing a radio is way outside my comfort zone, yet Crutchfield made it so easy by doing the thinking and making tech decisions for me. The tech help couldn't have been better, very patient which took the anxiety away. CRUTCHFIELD IS THE BEST! thank you, Roger G.

Kenwood deck and Fosgate speakers
Crutchfield customer from Santa Fe, NM on 6/11/2020
2006 Toyota 4Runner
I purchased and installed this for a friend. She is thrilled. Kenwood is a solid choice for a deck. Versatile and packed with features. This was my first time installing and using Rockford Fosgate speakers. They were better than I expected for the price. Loud, clean and clear sound. I was very impressed. And as always, purchasing from Crutchfield is a no brainer. You can shop for what fits your vehicle so you know it fits before it arrives. On this purchase I received the instal dash kit, speaker brackets and wiring harnesses all for free. And they even included the installation instructions. As easy and cost effective as it gets.
Pros: Powerful deck with many features Bluetooth Apple car play Removable face plate Large volume/menu knob
Cons: N/A

WORTH IT
JEsse from Bainbridge NY on 5/13/2020
Very impressed with the quality. I went from a jvc Bluetooth media unit to this. The buttons and display are worlds different in a good way. Sound quality is incredible and microphone supplied is great. The main difference between them is the functionality of the Bluetooth. I am now able to instantly connect my phone play music and even use the apps. With the jvc I had problems with the apps and sometimes Bluetooth wouldn't connect or songs wouldn't play.
Pros: Amazing quality and feature rich.
Cons: Can't change colors on display

All Kenwood in 84 Fiero
Crutchfield customer from New Castle, IN on 5/7/2020
1984 Pontiac Fiero
Replaced a Pioneer head unit that was in my 84 Fiero when I got it a year and a half ago. Since I owned the car I also replaced the dash speaker and added rear speakers, all Kenwood. They work very well together. I chose the radio because of the bluetooth feature.My only dissapointment in it is when getting direction on my phone, it does not come through unless I have the unit set on a bluetooth setting, it does not come through on the radio setting. Really like that it has a 13 band equalizer built in to it. Still fine tuning the sound from it, has a lot of adjustment, but I am very happy with it.
Pros: Bluetooth, and 13 band equalizer
Cons: blue does not give directions through radio, only the bluetooth setting.

Mostly great; a couple nitpicks.
Crutchfield customer from POOLER, GA on 5/3/2020
2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
First of all, Crutchfield tech support is the best. I was stunned at their level of knowledge. The hit it out of the park! I really like the receiver. It does everything I want it to do, with one exception (maybe I just haven't learned how to do it yet): I want to be able to step through the radio frequencies, whether the receiver thinks there's a strong enough signal at a given frequency or not. My only other complaint is that the installation instructions could be a lot better. I would have liked more detail on how the receiver sleeve mounts to the faceplate adaptor, and on which 12 pin plug goes into the chime module. This would have saved me a call.
Pros: Crutchfield customer suport and tech expertise
Cons: Installation instructions not quite good enough

Basic, but works great
Crutchfield customer from Independence, MO on 4/27/2020
2013 Mazda 3
Loved this head unit. First off, it's shallower since it's a digital only receiver. This makes it easier to get it to fit in tight spaces with full wiring and everything. Kenwoods are always great with their settings to allow you to customize the sound based on the size of your speakers and the size of your car. Much better features than most head units at this price
Pros: Lots of options Great sound
Cons: None

Terrible for navigating a memory stick
Jim from Killeen TX on 3/16/2020
2005 Scion xA
I bought this because the kmm100u was discontinued. As good as the 100u is at navigating through files from a memory stick the BT-228U is terrible. Maybe this player would be great for someone who plays files from their phone. That's not me. I'm sad to say memory stick capability has diminished since its predecessor.
Pros: That great built in Kenwood amp
Cons: Pale in comparison to its predecessor the kmm 100 U On the previous model it was a joy to navigate through files on a memory stick, on this one it's a nightmare.

Crutchfield customer from Bristol, CT on 2/23/2020
1996 Ford F Series
Nice radio. I had installed new Kenwood speakers a while ago in my 96 F150 work truck, big improvement from the old speakers. The sound was OK until I installed this Kenwood unit, this made the speakers come alive. The bass boost gives you a nice solid bottom. This is a work truck so I get phone calls often, 1 button to answer the call, the microphone is clear and the person on the other end says it sounds like I have the phone to my ear. Installation was quick with the wiring kit from Crutchfield. The part of the install that took the longest was to run the wire for the microphone, I ran it up the front door post then under the trim in front of the visor and aimed the microphone at myself. I am very happy with the unit and I would high recommend it. The price for the quality would be hard to beat. There is no CD player but that is not something I will miss, the radio that came out had a cassette player that never got used.
Pros: Easy to install, especially with the Crutchfield recommended kit. BT pairs easily, streams music with good sound quality and calls are clear.
Cons: Not much of a Con but there is no CD player.

The unit works as described and is a nice upgrade to my 19-year-old system. The reason why I'm giving 5 stars is because of the customer service. Usually, I research and buy without seeking help. However, while searching the Crutchfield site, I saw the little "chat" pop-up and said what the heck. Colby, the representative who helped me, was awesome. He found all the items I needed quickly, added to a cart with a link, and gave me all install parts at a discounted rate - free! Shipping was quick and installation was a breeze. I probably won't need another car stereo for a while but when/if I do, Crutchfield will get my business!

Great bluetooth car stereo at a reasonable price
Crutchfield customer from Wisc Rapids, WI on 1/11/2020
I bought this as a Christmas gift for my daughter after consulting with Crutchfield staff to determine what stereo would be best for her 2005 Mercury Mariner. The install was super easy with the prewired harness, and the stereo sounds great and is easy-to-use. It pairs up effortlessly with bluetooth and the hands free phone works great. Great stereo at a reasonable price.
Pros: Reasonably priced
Cons: Install went well, but I had to search online to determine how to remove some of the dash trim to install, but I figured I would probably have to do that anyway

Great bluetooth radio!
Crutchfield customer from Indianapolis, IN on 1/4/2020
2003 Volkswagen Beetle
Installation was a breeze with the wiring harness and instructions that Crutchfield provides. I replaced my daughter's factory unit in her 2003 Beetle. She really wanted to listen to the music on her phone via bluetooth. Once it was in the dash (20min), she was able to pair her phone with it immediately.
Pros: great sounding easy installation intuitive operation budget priced
Cons: none

Tacoma Factory Replacement
AJ from Midlothian, VA on 12/30/2019
2010 Toyota Tacoma
Christmas gift for son to replace the factory unit. We installed it this weekend in his Tacoma. Best guidance came from a YouTube video of a guy (not an employee) installing his Sony car stereo from Crutchfield. The install went well and he's happy with it. The radio preset buttons are really small, but he'll never use them anyway since he uses Spotify through Bluetooth. Butler did a great job making up the ReadyHarness... no splicing!!!
Pros: Well-known brand name. Shallow chassis. The Crutchfield ReadyHarnessT Service was the way to go!
Cons: Small preset buttons requires finger nail operation.

Quality stereo
Crutchfield customer from Coeur D Alene, ID on 12/12/2019
1992 Chevrolet Cheyenne
Quality stereo at a low cost. Easy to operate and it looks good. Major plus is the stereo isn't very deep and that make install in older cars great where there isn't any room behind the stereo
Pros: Shallow depth Price vs quality
Cons:

Pretty meh, to be honest. I wasn't expecting an amazing piece of hardware for the price point this thing sits at and I wasn't let down. I also wasn't blown away. It's a super simple, super basic bluetooth capable receiver which is what I needed as a needed as a short-term replacement for previous head-unit in my car. I wouldn't recommend this head unit, tho. It's too feature starved to even really be a good "basic car stereo." I'm already shopping for something better.
Pros: - Inexpensive - Streams Bluetooth well - Plays over-the-air radio
Cons: - No dimmer connection - Super basic features, almost no configurability - The Kenwood App is pretty bad, don't waste time with it
