I adapted this receiver for use in my RV trailer. RV stereos are VERY pricey (at least twice what this unit costs!) and junky. It was very easy to install; the existing wires were marked with speaker locations. The included connector made it easy to remove the unit. The power is more than adequate to feed 4 speakers. The AUX input is great! It allows me to play the TV sound through the receiver (connect Headphone Out to the AUX input on the Kenwood); sound quality is very close to what it would be with a home theater system. Another great feature is the USB port. I "sync'd" (copied) existing music collection from my PC to an 8Gb USB thumbdrive. No longer need to haul around dozens of CDs, just one little memory device.
I couldn't be happier as I won my auction cheap. I replaced a factory cassette player in my old 1991 Capri convertible with it. I didn't even need a trim plate kit. The car gained ten years back, lol. I need to upgrade my speakers but it sounds great for the price. I like the adjustable colored lights which you can leave on random but I picked one of the blue ones. Another thing I like is my Android phone has a MP3 player which I can plug and play. The controls are easy to use once you learn them.
This is a good receiver and CD player. We bought it to use in an off-grid cabin where the solar system provides 12v electric. It seemed silly and wasteful to use an inverter to power an AC sound system when 12v car decks are readily available. Works well, sounds great, my only complaint would be that MP3, Pandora etc only seem to work if you're runnning them on an Apple device. I would have bought the Android version had I known, and I still may if I can figure out what language Kenwood uses to describe to differentiate them. Even tried downlodaing the Kenwood music control app, but it still only has eyes for Apple.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
This is a great stereo; iPod functionality is great, and charges the iPod while plugged in. The AM/FM tuner is absolutely amazing (I now have around 10 more channels that I did not get with the stock stereo), and the bass boost really does a great job. The stereo's manual is well made/descriptive, and explains what every wire's job is on the included harness. I would definitely buy this product again!
This unit replaced the original player in a 2001 truck. It seems to be a great replacement. You do need to read the instruction book on the features. With a Kenwood product you can't go too wrong.
