Pros Plays MP3 CDs. Excellent FM reception. Sirius satellite radio, plus pre-outs for amps!
Cons Interface is complicated. LCD is hard to see in some light conditions.
Recommended it? Yes

My wife gave me this player for Christmas. It was easy to install in my Honda Civic sedan. Since it came from Crutchfield, we got the free wiring harness. With a little solder and some heatshrink tubing, the unit was ready to go in half an hour. You could install the unit without the wiring... Read full review »

Cons Unit has some sort of saturation flaw, useless remote. Random play feature sucks
Recommended it? No

I purchased this unit with 4 Kenwood speakers on sale from Crutchfield. Let me start by saying that this unit has a fatal flaw. The first one I had for about a week before it went bad. The unit would play just fine for about a half an hour at 75% volume (25) and then it would start to become... Read full review »

Pros Best bang for the buck. Very customizable listening experience.
Cons No backlit display.
Recommended it? Yes

I recently bought a new car and when trading it in the dealer was willing to give me a substantial markup on the trade-in if I gave them the Kenwood Excelon unit that was in there so I let them have it.

Let me provide the disclaimer that I specifically purchased the 'old year' Kenwood... Read full review »

Great Sound, nice display

bymp3cool Dec 14, 2004
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Looks nice overall, sound quality is outstanding.
Cons Prefer a smaller rotary button or push type volume control.
Recommended it? Yes

Nice looking receiver with choice of green or red button. Plays mp3 and easy to use file and folder search. System Q sound adjustment is a nice feature. Black faceplate matches my all black dash(except for the ugly round silver flimsy volume dial). Read full review »
