Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Well it works as planned, although it didn't particularly like being connected to a jailbroken iPod. Very slow to respond and sometimes would just not bring up any media. Connected by the Kenwood video cable through USB. Verified this slowness by connecting another of my touches that wasn't jailbroken and it worked flawlessly. So no discredit to the unit in my opinion as it doesn't list jailbroken compatibility.
This unit replaced a Pioneer P5200BT and a JVC KD-AVX77 and at this time quite pleased as I knew I would be with Kenwood's headunits as I also still have a eXcelon KVT-915, unfortunately it won't play video from the iPod and the actual interface is outdated. I would have gotten the navi model, but living in Japan it would of been pointless. Still hoping the add-on navi unit I might be able to load Japan maps if purchased at a later date.
Bluetooth works well, but as far as audio I much prefer direct connection. Video output is bright and sharp thanks to the pixel count, much improved over the Pioneer. Sound shaping ability is built-in if one is into DSP.
Pretty vague review, but I honestly believe if one is to purchase this unit they will not be disappointed.
