Question: How is the Bluetooth phone mic ect.... I need to use my phone while I drive...
Document: I now have my upgraded speakers, subwoofer and amp, so I can now review this HU. I think it is wonderful!! Powerful enough to drive large efficient speakers and flexible enough to dial in everything to my liking. Whatever your sound preference you will be ale to dial it in with all of the adjustments that come with the. The phone and bluetooth are great. Clear sound, easy to use and lots of features. I run my phone through it for navigation, phone and music.
Fantastic Head unit, overall. I love the display, and it is very intuitive. Sound quality is superb, and the bluetooth function works extremely well. The mic is awesome.I cannot review the amplifier on this unit because I have a separate amp for my speakers; this brings me to my one complaint, the unit will not recognize separate amps for speakers. You need to have the amp on in order for it to play music.
The bluetooth has an external mic that comes with it. I ran it up the Apillar and mounted it at the top of the apillar molding next to the roof. I have used it many times and people have told me it sounds really good but it does have adjustments for mic gain and echo control. I would recoment this unit to anyone who wants a spretty serious reciever. To make the most of it I think you need to have an amp.
So I installed the radio last week and it is working well. My setup is this: I have a dedicated iPod Touch in the glovebox plugged into the back USB. I use an Android phone via Bluetooth or the front USB. I specifically chose this radio because it had a front and back USB.
What a great stereo deck! Has all the bells and whistle that you would need. Pandora, HD Radio, CD, USB for iPhone or android, Bluetooth and many other features that I don't use. The only concern I have is that every once in a while it cut out and restarts. I don't know if it function or software but it happen to my other kenwood too. Not a huge deal to me.
This stereo has all the features that you may need (HD Radio, Bluetooth, 2 USB Connections) for a reasonable price and it's a Kenwood, so the quality is a given. My calls are clear through the Bluetooth on both ends and the radio receiver works great. It even has a CD player if you are still holding onto those. The only complaint is that the menus can be a little intimidating and the radio presets are odd to use. All in all, I highly recommend this unit.
My Kenwood Kdc x997 came it today! It was easy to hook up I already had my siriusxm cable install and my bluetooth mic.So the installation was fast and had no trouble.The sound is amazing and beyond my expectations. I definitely recommend the HU to my friends!
Pros: CDs sound awesome if you turn off DSP, iPod works, iPhone worksCons: Worse than 1960's functionality for presets, won't read iTunes-ripped tracks from USB flash drive, HD radio is sketchy, user manual is worse than awfulStation presets:1) There are no preset buttons. To select a preset, press the button next to the volume knob, then use the volume knob to scroll through your presets, then press the volume knob when you see the one you're looking for.
Not too impressed with this at all. Works ok for some functions but the display is worthless in sunlight. Then the bluetooth does not work with my phone despite the phone being shown as supported. This was one of the main reasons I bought the unit and I am really not pleased with this failure. Then there's the fact that no matter what I try I cannot get music files to play via the USB port.
Turning the radio off would be a good opportunity to show the clock. Like every factory radio in the world. Turn this one off and the display goes blank. To see the clock, turn the radio back on, press the SRC button, and then scroll through the input sources to Standby. It'll show the clock in standby mode. Convenient, huh?Bluetooth Phone: It works with an iPhone 5c, no problem.DSP: It's all or nothing.
Answer: I mounted the physical mic on my steering column. Works well. I have not had any complaints about not being able to hear me. Siri works well with it.
