Kenwood KDC-MP375BT Car Single DIN In-Dash CD MP3 Stereo Receiver USB AUX Inputs Buit-in Bluetooth Dual Phone Connection iPod iPhone Control AM FM Radio Player w/FREE Alphasonik Earbuds

I don't usually write reviews however I am so impressed with this Kenwood KDC-255U stereo that I will make an exception in this case. I purchased the Kenwood KDC-255U In-Dash USB/CD Receiver to replace the out dated radio/cassette player in my 1985 El Camino. I wasn't sure of the fit but took the chance since the price seemed to be a great value. When it arrived I realized installation was not going to be a slam dunk. My El Camino, being 28 years old, had the older two post knob controls, mounting bracket and faceplate. To properly install the new radio required some delicate retooling of the dash faceplate and bracket in order to accept the new radio mounting cage. All in all it took maybe an hour to make the mods (cut outs) to the dash components. Once that was completed, wiring hook ups were quite simple to accomplish with clear instructions and diagrams in the owners manual.The Kenwood KDC-255U In-Dash USB/CD Receiver is relatively simple to operate and become familiar with; again the instruction owners manual quite clearly walks you thru step by step setting up the features & functions. All functions of this Kenwood work perfectly and quite well for my needs. I really like the USB and ipod/ipad features since it's so much more efficient than carrying a bunch of CDs around with you. It has a handy remote control unit and a very colorful visual display when unit is turned on.I've had a number of Kenwood radio CD players in the past and have always been very pleased with this brand and their quality, this unit has exceeded my expectations. It has made a big difference in my music enjoyment and has added new vitality to my old car and makes my drives much more enjoyable.The only Con I have for this unit is that it does not come with a radio faceplate case, not a big deal for me but I was surprised one wasn't included. I would highly recommend the Kenwood KDC-255U In-Dash USB/CD Receiver to anyone looking to make an upgrade with USB and iPhone capabilities.

I'm Happy to buy this product and i recommend it

Loved it

I installed this cd player in a 2005 Pontiac sun fire using a factory single din installation kit i purchased from advanced auto parts. The install was very simple, plug and play if you purchase the correct wiring pigtail for your application it will make the job a a lot easier. In my application I had a gm car with no on star and an rds radio so i had to purchase a gm interference kit to retain the factory door chime and dash lights. All in all the operation of this cd player is very simple. We used it when we went on our drive to Las Vegas from Ohio and for a constant 15 hours straight of use each day the thing never seemed to overheat or stop working. The USB option is very cool i basically just pulled all of my music off of iTunes and off of windows media player then also transferred and ripped Cd's i had on my computer all to the usb drive. When you plug it in it recognizes the track information and it also recognizes mix Cd's as custom mixes. The color does change through like 5 or 6 different ones constantly which is a little annoying when your driving at night but I'm sure there is a way to turn this option off. The remote worked very well and the only thing that i did not like about this CD player was the seek buttons for am/fm radio don't let you go to your own frequency (for example you cant scroll from 93,1 to 93,2 to 93,3 it locates the channels automatically and tends to skip over some that I know of. I didn't use the i phone feature but I'm sure it works just as flawlessly as the USB option. Absolutely great price.

The original AM/FM/Tape unit in my 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport needed to be replaced. I bought this unit because it was inexpensive, had good technical features, provided front panel AUX and USB ports and advertised the front panel lighting scheme could be tailored to match the rest of the dash lighting. This is almost true. The lighting adjustment affects the display characters but not the border around the unit. This is not adjustable. So, while the time/station/track display closely matches the speedometer/tachometer/etc gauge lighting, there is a bright blue square of light sitting in the middle of the dash. It is not annoying enough to return since the Jeep is a project/desert toy but if you expect this to blend in with your other dash lights you'll be disappointed unless your other lights are bright blue.Functionally the unit works as advertised. It arrived within the estimated time frame. The packaging was adequate and the instructions accurate. I don't use Apple products so I can't comment on the iPod functionality but the AUX interface works as expected. Sound quality is good but it seems I have to crank up the volume a lot to fill the cabin. I did not replace the factory speakers so once the volume is up the sound quality is comparable with the original unit. Overall I'm satisfied. I would have given it an additional star if the color of the face could be adjusted to match the factory.

Awesome stereo! I purchased this is 2015 and everything still works perfectly. I haven't had any problems with this and I don't think I will any time soon. I love how this will not only charge my iPhone when its connected into the USB but it will also connect and play your music! The rainbow lighting choices are fun and really cool at night. However, in the sunlight it is slightly hard to see the display but all devices with this display will do that. The remote is a nice touch but in the two years Ive had this I've only used it maybe twice. This has a CD player that I use once in a while and I like still having that as an option. This was also easy to install. I don't know anything about cars or elections really and I was able to set this up in 10-15 minutes! I definitely recommend this system to anyone searching for a well made product that will last for years!
