Great unit and easy to follow instructions for installation. Love the different text color options. Hooks up to BT very easily and faster than OEM head units. Highly recommend.

Pros:

Cons: Installed into a 2007 Ford Escape and needed to modify the dash radio cavity slightly to get it to fit. Used a rasp and file which worked perfectly. I don't recommend using a Dremel tool. Too aggressive.

Great sound once I figured out how to set the audio settings. Easy functions and clear display. It does have an external microphone that you will need to run through the dash but not a big deal.

Pros: Great Sound Clear display Easy to install

Cons: Set up for audio is a little tricky External Microphone

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I tried 2 of these radios and both had the same problem. Whenever the radio would be turned off it would revert back to its factory settings just like if the battery had been disconnected. Crutchfield was amazing to work with they tried to troubleshoot and when the problem persisted they sent me a new radio, I exchanged the radio with the excelon version and haven't had a problem since. 5 star customer service.

Pros: Looks good, easy to navigate menu.

Inexpensive Radio

Richard from Burnt Hills, NY on 1/17/2023

2009 Kia Sportage

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Average low cost radio with a decent amount of connectivity and controls. Can't say much about sound quality because of the car OEM speakers. But I do like the controls and color customization for daily use. Not bad for the price.

Pros: Low cost It Works (I know it is a low bar but DOA is really high on the list for the installer) Color Customization Big Volume Knob (frantically reaching to turn it up or down)

Cons: Stand by (no power off) No display dimmer controller wire to match dash light intensity. Flip down door for front panel Aux / USB

Crutchfield sent wrong harness and dash kit

H from NY on 1/6/2023

2012 Subaru Forester

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The stereo is fine and can easily be seen with my polarized sunglasses, which was a concern of mine initially, but Crutchfield sent me the wrong harness and the wrong dash kit, which meant I had to spend another $40 and make a couple trips to the nearest audio shop, which was a pain. Bought from Crutchfield because I thought they were trustable, but this experience has diminished their credibility for me.

Pros:

Cons: I expected this radio to be an improvement on my 2012 Forester factory default stereo in terms of sound quality, but it did not help. Not faulting Kenwood or the stereo since I probably need to get an amp and new speakers, but for anyone who thinks this will make their car sound better with factory speakers, you may not hear an improvement.

Kenwood in a 13 Tahoe

Thomas from Memphis, TN on 12/10/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

This unit sounds great, especially with the four 6.5" JBL 621 speakers. It just blows the stock unit out of the water. The wiring kit (ready harness) is worth its weight in gold. It was so easy; literally plug and play. This is my second unit for my vehicles from Crutchfield and truly, the service and products have been great for each purchase. One last thing. I'm a bit of a dinosaur (just turned 60), so some of the technology is too much on this unit, even though I was looking for something simple and this unit is especially compared with others, but it still has a lot of functions. However, I will say that being able to match the 3 zone radio face plate colors with my dash color was worth the trouble of learning how to operate all the various functions. I'm pleases with the purchase and with the service and pricing at Crutchfield.

Pros: Sounds great! Blows the stock unit and speakers away.

Cons: Lots of adjustment options on the Kenwood and not the easiest to learn how to program.

Sound is great, looks nice and it was easy to install. Bluetooth can be finicky and Alexa has a learning curve, but it's good after you get used to it. My biggest complaint is that you can't see the screen if you're wearing polarized sunglasses! Completely blacked out. I'm assuming isn't a manufacturing error and it's frustrating, but not worth the effort of replacing with a different model.

Works fine, but so many settings for sound and x-over settings that it would be helpful for more documentation on those settings. I had to tweak the settings for awhile before it sounded right to me.

Pros: Custom screen colors to match interior lights

Cons: Many settings to sort through, the app works ok, but takes time to connect and some settings don't save when they are made in the app

JOHN E from Standish, ME on 9/18/2022

2005 Jeep Wrangler

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

after talking on the phone to one of the crew,I decided to get this stereo for my 2005 Jeep TJ with center console sub-woofer. the original radio drove me nuts with the sub-woofer ( I had already replaced all the speakers with Kickers) as it took over the music and talk radio. I had them do the Wiring Harness for me, (Truly Plug and Play and worth every cent ,and bought the dash kit. It took me 2 hrs to install at 2AM with only 1 cup of coffee in me, the hardest part was crossing my fingers and gutting my dash :) slowly with a hack saw blade. The Kenwood sound quality compared to the original jeep radio was AWESOME, and i haven't even played with the EQ or Sub-woofer setting yet other to tell it ENGLISH and all Blue screen Like the LARGE Letters and Numbers for my tired old eyes with bi-focals Plugged my iPhone 13Mini in by its cord and poof got my songs playing with no hassles from the iphone screen saving Radio Stations was so easy compared to the original jeep radio-- just push the numbered button and hold :) Very Happy Jeeper

Pros: The Crew answered all my color crayon (and im missing a few colors) questions before I clicked the BUY button

Cons: didn't take long enough to install :) (sarcasm)
