## Description

KENWOOD KMR-XM500

Review: Fit into old round Jenson head unit hole. all wiring basically the same as all head units. Unit is a huge upgrade for us because the Jenson was oh so difficult to connect BT wise. this unit connect very quickly by the touch of a button no scrolling through multi touch screens. I would buy again. Sound quality is also way better.
Review: I needed this specific radio for a truck I'm building. The center console wont allow a standard DIN radio to fit, due to added ac vents, gauges, ect. It only needed a round opening, and is shorter than a standard DIN head unit. If you need a 12v head unit, and have a unique space requirement, this is a perfect option. My favorite feature is...the BLUETOOTH WORKS LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO! I have had plenty of bluetooth head units that were sketchy or erratic, but this one automatically connects to my phone as soon as the truck starts. Pros: Its smaller than a single DIN. Has 3 pre-outs Camera input Functionality (back up camera) Very easy to wire up. similar to every other 12v Head unit. Equalizer is quite good, with plenty of adjustment. subwoofer on/off right on the face very durable and clearly well made. Bluetooth works flawlessly Ability to disable speaker outputs if running a fully amped setup. Adjustable led color. Cons: It doesn't sit flush. Didn't bother me at all, but just be mindful it does stick out about .5" You have to be able to access the back of the panel to install. There's no type of mounting that will allow you to push it into a basket like a DIN receiver. So you will need to pop off whatever panel you install it on, put the mounting ring on, and then replace the panel, OR access it from behind.
