5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing head unit
I decided to upgrade the old system in my '98 Jag XK8, this was an incredible choice and really makes my system. Many features, still figuring it out. It's connected to A Kenwood Excelon 4 channel amp that powers my Infinity Kappa component speakers in front and Kenwood Excelon duals in back. A Kenwood Excelon 2 channel amp powering my Pioneer 10" shallow mount subwoofer. Absolutely amazing system. The folks who installed my speakers, highest rated car audio installation place in the Phoenix area said he too was blown away with the sound. Everything starts with the head unit.
5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Sound !
I was disappointed at first after tweeking many parameters and not achieving the sound I wanted. Then I dug deeper into the more advanced parameters and features and wow! I encourage users to take your time with the parameters and you will be glad you did. Very impressed with the achievable sound quality but you have to take the time to experiment. Many many parameters.
4.0 out of 5 stars Loud
My car audio system consists of a Power Acoustik gothic 4 channel amp 1200. Two pioneer 6.5 and two pioneer 5x7. This little system Rocks! much louder than with the last deck. pioneer deh80prs. One other thing, the 80prs was nothing buy trouble. First the cd player went out. Then the face plate display cracked with these strange lines running from top left to bottom right. Anyway, this Kenwood is great stereo.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great head unit
The first head unit I got had some issues, the radio did not work properly and bluetooth connection was unstable so I returned it. The second one works as intented. I am glad to give this head unit a second chance.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Fit For My Yamaha Strat Trike
I have always had great experiences with Kenwood and this does not disappoint. Many options on this unit so make sure to play around with it to get that perfect sound you are looking for. I would recommend this to anyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars VERY DISSAPOINTED!
I've had a Kenwood KDC-X998 since 2016. It was quite possibly one of the most feature-rich head units ever made, with a few BIG problems though... The detachable face had the connecting plug just under the power/volume/select button. Although I haven't used the unit more than about 50 hrs. in total and didn't detach the face more than 5-6 times (as it was installed in my RV), the unit would power off when pressing buttons on the faceplate, because the contacts of the faceplate would move and lose connection. Finally, it just stopped working (for this very reason). The second problem was that it overheated like a stove! The sound would cut out and the unit would start acting wired when playing CDs at 40% volume. I had to install a heat sink in the back with a thermostatic fan (it worked fine after that). The Bluetooth would connect to phones and 3rd. party audio devices, but it was finicky. It did connect though! The sound was great, the display nice, full of features, CD, dual USB in the rear and front, Aux in the front. So, after it died, I wanted a similar unit! NO SUCH THING! Instead of progressing, Kenwood moved backward. I got the next best thing: the KMM-X705 (because of the dual USB with one in the back; I want to have the stick out of site). Looks nice, but same crappy design of the removable faceplate, except they moved the connecting plug in the middle, so it isn't prone to movement as much.The heatsink is still too small, but perhaps the unit doesn't overheat as much since it has NO CD PLAYER, so it uses less power! Yes, they sell a model with a CD Player, but it doesn't have dual USB ports, and there is still no AUX connector in the back. Nice sound, lots of sound settings available (some useful, some just bloatware), and NO REMOTE (must purchase it separately). So, why do I hate it? The Bluetooth! It's just TERRIBLE! It connects to smartphones, but it will not connect to any Bluetooth audio devices (I've tried about 15 devices and wasted 40 hrs. trying to get it to work). It goes into pairing mode, asks to press the volume knob, waits about a minute, and then disconnects. I called Kenwood customer service and after speaking with a top-level "expert" (who was condescending), they finally admitted that it does not work with other devices except smartphones. The whole concept of Bluetooth is to connect audio without wires! Why would the "bright minds" at Kenwood produce a modern device equipped with Bluetooth and design it in a way that it doesn't wirelessly connect to other audio devices equipped with Bluetooth (except for smartphones)? It defeats the very purpose of WIRELESS AUDIO Bluetooth! After all, this is an AUDIO device. NO NFC either! The sensitivity of the radio leaves much to be desired (receives fewer stations than my previous model in the exact same placement and location. Navigating the setup menu is convoluted, many menus don't have a way to get back, etc. A screw hole to attach the faceplate permanently and keep it from moving is provided, but no screw is included (if you live in a safe area and wish to do so). It looks like it was designed to appear good on paper, check the boxes of the marketing points, and please "the focus groups", to sucker customers into buying the unit, but it is built for planned obsolescence (as my previous unit which worked for only about 50 hrs. during 7 years). The Bluetooth version is 4.2 (the current version is 5.3) and there are NO FIRMWARE UPDATES! NO MORE KENWOOD FOR ME! I'm returning it!
Escelente desempeño
excelente
Nice combination of HD-Radio, FLAC and Hands-free in a single DIN
Can't beat the amount of features packed into this unit. Tried it out on the bench before installing to make sure everything was working first. This was replacing a Sony that couldn't place FLAC and didn't have HD-Radio. They don't appear to offer these features in a single DIN. I'm not too surprised as the game has moved on to double-DIN car audio now. Everything went together smoothly and works well. There are a LOT of settings on this radio and you'll be wise to download the full manual from the Kenwood website. I have two complaints about this unit. There's no provision to input "lighting" to the unit, hence it can't be made to dim or change colour when the car headlights are on at night. The second is the unit runs very hot. I positioned a small fan quiet fan to blow air on the heat sink when the unit is on (from power antenna output). Now I'm going to upgrade my speakers.
Cheap radio for the Excelon line...
Alexa is a NIGHTMARE to use with this radio unit... almost unusable! It crash while listening to music and the sound stream at "phone quality". Volume knob BUG... One of the WORST Kenwood car radio unit of my life... and I own a LOT! But the sound is good like other Excelon.
Calidad de audio
Para aquellos que como yo necesitamos calidad de audio sin mucho problema en botones para ecualizar este es un buen equipo para disfrutar ese espacio personal en el automóvil con la delicia de la combinación de los sonidos graves, medios y agudos. Excelente!!!
