It’s a good stereo. I really like mine. It does take a while to get used to all of the functions and multipurpose buttons, but once you know how it works, it’s good.
You're welcome. It's a little confusing at first, so read the manual and learn to use it while the car is parked, and then you'll love it. I really like having 64 GB of music on the USB drive, so I can listen to whatever I want.
I don't know where you got your stereo from but I have the same deck and it did not come with a microphone or the remote and I got mine from car toys lol
Best Buy now matches Amazon prices, has to be sold by Amazon not a 3rd party seller. I bought my car stereo stuff from there and took my receipt back after checking amazon and they gave me like 70$ bucks back, check yours out.
@@hoohoohoblin was working fine for over a year and then the right speaker wen't dead removed the set and checked right channel blown for no reason mate.
that's a nice head unit. I like what Kenwood is doing. my unit is Kenwood but I'm looking for a better one and I don't think there is any. most are about the same. my Kenwood only plays about 20GB of the 32GB thumb drive. I suggest getting a low profile thumb drive as it doesn't stick out all that much.
I put this Sony stereo in my truck that my son drives, and we really like it. It has a lot more power and sounds clear when it’s played loud than the Kenwood. Sony MEX Car Stereo Review th-cam.com/video/oUncJy8Rbr8/w-d-xo.html
How did you get the Bass and Treble settings adjustment? I have the KDC-BT76HD which I assume is a more advanced model so it would have similar controls and settings and can't figure out how to just simply adjust the Bass and Treble settings like on a normal Factory Radio and most other audio equipment. It has a ton of confusing audio settings and preset EQ Settings like on all those Bookshelf audio systems and some MP3 players and Android Audio player Apps. I want to just simply select Bass or Treble and turn the knob right to increase and left to decrease the Bass and Treble settings. I found the Balance and Fader controls which is hardly ever in need of changing.
I miss the old days when there were 3 knobs on the front of the radio for bass, treble and midrange. On my stereo you push the volume knob down like a push button, and that takes you into different settings. then turn it like you are turning up the volume, and it will scroll through different options, one of which is audio settings. push the volume button to get into the audio settings, and then turn the knob. You can either choose different presets (jazz, rock, etc.) or bass and treble settings. to adjust the bass or treble, push the volume knob button, and then turn it to raise or lower the bass or treble volume level. Use the back button on the lower left a few times to get back out into radio mode. If you try to do this for the first time while you are driving, you will probably die. Try it in the driveway first. Eventually you'll be able to do in on the road as well.
The KDC-BT765HD only has only EQ Settings and no Bass or Treble settings because it's the newest technologist for better sound because that is what the industry wants you to think, it's not about what is most intuitive or simple like the stock radio is, but about selling the radio on all the advanced features that give you high quality sound. I don't get in my car to get lost in the music, I use my car to go places and like to have something to listen to and should not be distracted trying to operate a complex device, my attention is supposed to be on the road so I don't get in a accident. I've never seen a car radio with a mid range knob, only Bass and Treble in fact I've never seen a any kind of Stereo with Bass Mid Range and Treble, only either just Bass and Treble or a Equalizer and different sound settings like on my Denon Digital A/V receiver for the Surround Sound Dobly settings.
Thanks for the review! Can you hook up your phone, say with Spotify, or whatever you use and change the song with the deck? I hate having to scrounge around with my phone or pull over to change the song!
+DV7Dave I haven't tried it with Spotify, but I know that it works with my iPod. When I plug the iPod into the stereo, the buttons on the stereo turned into iPod control buttons which I can use to change the music.
I know this is old but I have a question I have this same unit and my mix isn’t working I just bought a brand new one it’s the exact one that came with this model, but it doesn’t pick up my voice if use voice memo and I yell into the mic you can hear a little bit I’ve messed around with the gain and the NR and still the same thing there is like a hissing noise or something I don’t know what the problem is any ideas?
I don’t know. If you replace the microphone and it still doesn’t work, there’s probably something broken inside. You could try cleaning out the microphone port that it plugs into in the back of the radio with alcohol. Maybe there’s some crud in there.
You should actually replace your radio first before the speakers. The aftermarket radio will have a better equalizer and sometimes even more power so buying speakers before a radio is nonsense
Wrong. Speakers have more of an impact on audio quality than the head unit. There is far more variation in speaker quality, power handling, efficiency, etc. than there are between a factory head unit and an aftermarket one. Particularly if we are talking about modern factory head units, often actually manufactured by Pioneer, Sony, Fuji Ten (Eclipse), etc.. Further if one is not careful some factory speakers may be damaged by the high power (comparatively) amplifier in the new head unit. Simply adding more power without understanding the other components in the system is shortsighted and an EQ does not fix poor sounding speakers, it can only and to a limited degree make crappy speakers sound less crappy. A quality efficient speaker can greatly improve sound quality even when paired with a low power head unit while offering power handling that will safely allow an upgrade to a new head unit and/or dedicated amplifier down the road.
That is true I replaced my stock speakers like 15 or so years ago now I replaced my shitty deck with this Kenwood deck now it sounds extremely awesome!
+Minajahoy I don't know. My car doesn't have steering will controls. I do know that there were a lot of wires I didn't use when I hooked up the stereo.
I get this annoying beeping that doesn't stop..I can't figure it out. I was told it's my bluetooth and to disconnect it but I don't know how. I do not have anything connected to it. I have had the car for about 9 months with this sterio system in it when I purchased it. It has been beeping the whole time..I drove to Philly from Florida and back with this beeping..Please help before I just sell the car..lol
Oui hoohoohoblin! - I’ll tell you who likes the remote. All of us right hand drive guys and gals (2 Billion and counting). All 1Din car consoles are made for left hand drive with the big functions on the left such as off/on/volume/function etc. All us right hand drivers have to reach that much further for the same controls and that is where a remote is really handy to place on or near the steering wheel. See ya, got more driving on the wrong side of the road to do...
+1marcelfilms Yes. That was a huge oversight by the Kenwood corporation, but because it is only half the size of a modern car stereo, and it has an Aux input, I could put my Walkman cassete player in the bucket under the stereo and connect the headphone jack to the aux input and be listening to my old cassettes.
That is funny. All the old people can play CD's. I just installed one of these. Upgraded from a tape deck. 97 Honda Accord. Great Video.
Thanks. It would’ve been a little bit cheaper to buy one without the CD player, but I have a whole bunch of CDs that I am hoarding.
Yeah I just installed this in my 1995 Honda passport and I love it already
Got this for Christmas just now. Can't wait to install it in my 2005 jeep liberty limited

Hey thanks for the review. Looks like I just expanded my Christmas list. Nice stereo.
You're welcome. It is amazing how many features you can find in the $100 range.
good luck buddy
Can you use your phone to play music from whatever app you have? e.g. youtube? or it is restricted to only playback of mp3s stored on your phone?
+Cyberguy It will play any audio on your phone. My son connects with Bluetooth and plays TH-cam music videos all the time.
thank you for your quick reply. I just placed the order :)

Can anyone tell me how to "save" the settings on a KDC, every time I switch on I find myself back in Demo Mode?
You probably didn’t hook up the power lines right. There should be one wire that gives it power all the time so it can remember things.
@@hoohoohoblin Thanks a lot I'll try and find the wire I only plugged in the two block of wires.
@@hoohoohoblin was working fine for over a year and then the right speaker wen't dead removed the set and checked right channel blown for no reason mate.

doess it play mp3 from a cd? thanks
It does, I buy audiobooks on mp3 CD and it works fine.

if you already have a kenwood radio in your car, can you change only the removable faceplate? if the connectors match
I don't know. Not sure if it has any specific programming.
no.
i have a kenwood KDC-x399. when i started my car the radio started saying missed wiring
can someone help me out? ive tried resetting the radio and that didnt work either

sounds to me like you miswired it.

Good point. I didn’t think about all of you guys when I made this video.
Is it loud and have decent good bass
It was pretty good, but not great.
Anyone know if this radio works well with having subs
that's all very well I have a kdc-200uv that only worked for six months Kenwood is not what it used to be will never use Kenwood again.
My husband put this in our car. I hate it. I can’t even figure out how to turn it on and off or change anything on it.
yip all the gismos but can't work as a normal stereo
To: hoohoohoblin - Thumbs up. Kenwood is a great brand. Old? CDs? I remember 8 track, cassette was state of the art, and 45 LPs. ..lol
+The Smart Budget Channel Thanks! Technology changes fast!
***** I still remember buying my first 45 LP. Duran Duran. lol
Where clipps?

Why not enter the time with an hour added?
Thank you!! so helpful!!

I give all of you a good tip spend a little more and get something that will last Kenwood is junk nowadays.no longer made in Japan.

Time for an upgrade!
