Client more useful on 23 of 24 people found this review helpful. My second great unit Kenwood MP3! Drew Lankford is my second Kenwood MP3 player. My first model was a much older and after what seems to be easily 6 or 7 years of faithful service, I decided to upgrade. The USB port on the front is what it's worth the upgrade. Can I put thousands of songs on a USB stick very cheap and not have to worry about all the MP3 CD in my car. The radio also has new life 11 years at the factory speakers Volvo. I had no idea of ​​sound as good as them. I still plan to put recently acquired a set of Boston Acoustic 6.5 "speakers in front doors, but I'm rethinking my decision to update the back door and rear deck speakers. In For things I do not like the unit, but much lower. For one, the 1 ~ 6 buttons control the playback options and what not. The number buttons are very easy to read because they are lit, but the functions are in a gray colored text that makes it difficult to read the manual before actually, I do not know how to pause playback. The number of six-button does, but you would not know by looking at the device, because the small play / pause on the label is almost impossible to read. Even when adjusting the bass, midrange and treble, as my older unit, they can only to 8. Why 8? Why not 10? Kenwood, this makes no sense. Stop now. Moreover, I am a bit disappointed the mute button is available from the device to see. I used it often at my age, but I think they have to save something for the units that cost more than $ 110. : D Anyways, fewer complaints and that's about it. The unit sounds good, and apart from the beginning to figure out what the little buttons, I really like. The music is easily heard on the highway too. It was an unexpected surprise. 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful Fantastic! C. Nunez I bought a JVC El Cameleon to my car. One reason was the Bluetooth solution for my phone. After the experiment, the volume several times and everything has changed, apart from the crowd (because of the digital display) I returned it and bought this marvel. The reason was that I had bluetooth for my cell phone (which is huge btw.) You can buy a Bluetooth adapter separately required. Well, if I have installed and have just changed it was amazing to listen to the radio, I realized the difference between Kenwood and other brands. It was definitely fresh with the right amount of ups and downs, and it is that hits that you feel you've bought the right. He also has a sturdy feel, it seems simple but has several features that you need to learn the manual, but if you learn to program, it's great. it has front inputs for what you want from a USB memory stick connected to your iPod and you can control from the main unit or the iPod Bluetooth works perfectly with my Blackberry Pearl with the updated operating system that streams music can make from it and sounds great. You will not regret buying this is definitely a buy! 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Kenwood makes quality products - enough said by P. Render iTouch, CD, Tuner, Flash Drive all work seamlessly with the device, with enough power for the average user. If you are one of those "I want to feel the car shake down" type of people, you need a separate amplifier. Send surfaces feel well made and sturdy, not typical for the radio I bought for this price range. The only downside - not a design-it-yourself. I've tried this radio I babysit in our Honda Civic to install (I normally do not, because as a doctor, I'm not trained in automotive electronics.) ) Confident after ePinionscom critical, such as "simplistic" or "intuitive", it was to install an "Average Joe", I took on the task. Well, if you are not an experienced plumber radio, do not try - you can get your dashboard in March
