Review: A nice unit, once you update the firmware. - A nice unit, once you update the firmware. Updating the firmware is not hard, Kenwood has an easy to understand procedure for doing so. You'll just need a USB stick to accomplish this. Takes about 15 minutes. This is my third Kenwood Excelon unit in my 2005 Mustang GT convertible. (I would buy a new Mustang but you cannot turn off the lights while driving.) Anyway, the unit does just about everything. With the initial firmware it came with the unit I had some troubles with Apple CarPlay. After the firmware update things are working much better. The navigation is done by Garmin which I like. However, bear in mind that after the unit is three or four years old new updates may not be available. A wonderful safety improvement on the newer navigation systems is that it does not force you to stop the car in order to enter an address. When I have a passenger they can type in the address for me. Of course, when driving alone I always pull over and stop. Primitive navigation systems will require the vehicle to be stop even when there's a passenger in the car. This is dangerous because it requires additional unnecessary, and maneuvering. I miss the days when people could comment on reviews, I learned so much by people commenting on my reviews, it would often allow me to make updates or corrections. Sorry.
Review: Upgrade - This was a replacement for my Kenwood 594. Seems to be ok so far. The screen is much better than my older unit. The sun was a pain but this one is clear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Upgrade

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing sound quality, excellent features!
*by J***L on July 25, 2021*

Really no issues with this product. It went in easy, had great features, and was quick to setup. Compatible with the car, compatible with my cameras, and wireless Bluetooth Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Sound quality of the base product is amazing. I feel like however if you use the audio processed by Apple, it requires more tuning to ensure it sounds as good as just basic Bluetooth audio. Great product!
