I've had this system for a few weeks now and really like it. There are more inputs into this system than I will probably ever use. But I like the option of having them there should I ever want to use them. I will say, the only thing that kept me from giving this product 5 stars, is the fact is has a slow user interface. Kenwood released a new firmware version (v1.3.0 at the time of this review) that was supposed to fix some reported issues. I saw a minor improvement, but not much. But, don't let a slow interface deter you. I only notice the lag because I'm a tech nerd and I've owned other stereo systems (Pioneer AVIC-F90BT) to compare with. I liked my Pioneer stereo, but this system blew Pioneer out of the water.The maps on the system are great because they are Garmin. In fact, Kenwood is the only aftermarket audio stereo system that has Garmin maps. This stereo is also the only one on the market that can interface with your vehicle's computer to provide diagnostics of your engine. Kenwood & Garmin take advantage of your vehicle's OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics) port via a bluetooth module, ecoRoute. It can track your vehicle's fuel performance so you know how much fuel you are consuming.This stereo also has built-in traffic receiver. So if you have heavy traffic along your GPS route, your system will try to find alternate routes to avoid the traffic!To add to this great product, is a great forum. KenwoodForums.com is loaded with very knowledgeable people that can help those novice installers and experienced moders troubleshoot any problems you may incur.

I know allot of reviewers have valid complaints. My experience so far has been it's a decent product. Still some design flaws but not nearly as slow as people make it out to be. Tings I do not like so far are the ease that I press the AUD button by accident when trying to press the pause button on the LCD to pause the music that seems to start playing after every restart of the car. really annoying but I can live with it. Also you would think after all this time that Garmin would give us a decent voice with the navi system. I can't stand it.Love the 3D and the full screen graphics of the intersection turn off. Love the BT options and the Eco add on! Love the traffic warning and it actually can avoid traffic pretty well in LA County. Not easy to do lol!

I had very very I hopes for this unit and as money was not an object for my vacation truck I purchased this unit despite the heavy price tag. Unfortunetly, when I recieved this item from the seller online it was defective and not working properly. I was smart enouph to read the reviews but not smart enouph to listen so I guess leason learned. The problem with my unit was that it would shut off randomely out of the blue and restart itself as if it were trying to reset. I understand that things happen and nothing is perfect but this is ware the warning comes in. I tried contacting Kenwood to resolve this issue and not only did they brush me off and tell me they could not help or change this brand new item but had an attitude about it like I was bothering them. Thank god Amazon changed it out for me (Excellent Company that back up there customers by the way) despite my 30 day experation. I will never ever purchase another kenwood again. I will also tell everyone I know about my experience.
