Unreliable Mechanics

byprevin26 Feb 27, 2004
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 2 Comments
Pros 1. Many tweaking options, 2. MP3 player is quick to read tracks
Cons Too breakable
Recommended it? No

This is a feature filled head unit that allows one to tweak numerous sonic settings. This is important to me since so much source material is marred by poor or inaccurate equalization. Not to mention the poor acoustics in your auto which further compromises accurate frequency response. I especially... Read full review »

Good Until You Add Sirius Radio

byretrodog Sep 2, 2004
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great sound, settings, and features.
Cons Unreliable problems and not supported by Kenwood.
Recommended it? No

This is a fine deck. Unfortunately it is apparently not compatible with the series 901 Sirius tuner from Kenwood. I tried two 919 HUs and two different 901 tuners and the results were identical... the face would eventually slide down and lock up, rendering the unit useless. This could only be fixed...

Good Quality Deck

Pros Excellent overall, great sound, many features
Cons Screen display Mediocre, No RDS, difficult to program stations and menus
Recommended it? Yes

Having played with this deck about 3 weeks now, I feel I've had it long enough to make an objective review. The unit itself is great with many features, but plan on spending some time trying to figure out how to use it! After installing it I was cruising down the road, intending to program the...

Pros Excellent sound, MP3 player, remote control, non-fading output, D Mask, 200 watts, SIRIUS...
Cons Flawed design, need the manual to do minor adjustments (ex. radio presets)
Recommended it? Yes

EXPERIENCE USING THIS PRODUCT:
I had the head unit for exactly one year and a half before it just decided to break one day. Here is the story: I went to get gas for my car one day (head unit working fine). I pull up to the gas station and turn off the car. I get my gas and I am ready to leave... Read full review »

Pros Full of features, Auto-hide Dmask, Awesome sound
Cons Cheap looking silver plastic, Not exactlly easy to use
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this unit for $297.00 about 4 months ago. It was a breeze installing due to upgrading from a previous Kenwood unit.

Sound quality:
This deck is by far the best sounding one I have ever owned. Its crisp, clear, accurate and virtually distortion free, even at high volumes... Read full review »

Great Deck

byjaydp Oct 11, 2002
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Great sound, nice display, many features.
Cons Advanced options can be difficult to learn at first.
Recommended it? Yes

The basic features of the unit are very easy to use. It is very intuitive. I first ran into troubles when I wanted to customize what was displayed while playing mp3s. The first time or two require using the manual. Programming stations was also a bit tricky (it is definitely not intuitive, and... Read full review »

Pros nice look, great design
Cons tragic internal flaw makes it a piece of junk!
Recommended it? No

This is a great deck in terms of design and overall quality,,so it seemed. It has one tragic flaw,,it has a problem overheating internally. The display's ribbon connector goes bad and one day you will lose the display and sound out of nowhere. This happens to them all,,it is just a matter of when... Read full review »

Pros Great display on the screen.
Cons Totally unreliable.
Recommended it? No

The receiver came stock with my Mazdaspeed Protege. So far my stereo has been replaced 3 times (under warranty)by Kenwood. Among the problems I encountered were (a)the face plate got stuck halfway, (b) the unit will not power up, and (c) the cd player will not play. Right now, I will be dropping by... Read full review »

Pros Sounds great, looks cool.
Cons unreliable
Recommended it? No

This is a nice deck. Cool displays. Nice form factor. Great sound. Many sound modes. One thing is that there is no mute. Not terribly reliable it seems. One time the deck wouldn't tilt down to let me get at the CD tray. Disconnected/reconnected battery fixed it. Now more serious problem. Deck has... Read full review »
