Great Unit

on May 5, 2017

Posted by: AVGuy

Verified Purchase:Yes

After much research I decided on this Kenwood DDX9703S to update the 2002 Acura TL my father gave me. I also had a back up camera installed. The sound is very good and the EQ is very versatile and gets the sound I want. The menus are intuitive and self explanatory. I'm 60 and didn't have to reference the manual. I'll probably have the optional steering wheel volume control installed later. The unit plays loud enough for old school rock/soul/country/jazz/blues. Best Buy did an incredible job installing the unit and my car is now up to date on technology. The Apple Car Play is really nice as I travel a lot. Apple maps has worked fine all over Northern California, but I wish Apple Car Play supported Google Maps, Waze and HereWeGo and their own Calendar app. Not the fault of the unit. The back up camera (Metra) is clear and bright during the day, a little grainy at night. A must for the amount of driving I do. The tilt screen is great to use if the sun is washing out the display and also hides the DVD/CD payer slot, allowing for a larger screen. Phone calls are clear and background noise well muted, but my car is pretty quiet anyway. Being able to have text read out loud and to be able to respond hands free is a tremendous safety feature. Playing Apple Music through Apple Car Play sure beats CD's as I sometimes travel 200-400 miles in day. I only use Apple Car Play while using Apple Maps, which is most of the time. However, using blue tooth works just a well.

Sound is very personal so I'm not going to say whether this unit is better than this or that unit. That's a personal choice. Being somewhat of an audio snob (my home preference is vinyl) I can tell you this unit does produce very good sound at its price point.

I would recommend this to a friend!
