## Description

DPX505BT

Review: Better than most brands - Works as it should, fair price but fell it’s a few dollars high . Not disappointed at all
Review: Glad I Bought This! - I bought this to replace my nonfunctional radio/CD player in my old 2000 Ford Explorer. I had to use my Dremel oscillating tool to cut a thin strip off of the existing plastic housing/face plate so this Kenwood DPX505BT would fit. The existing housing was just a little too tight. Other than that, the installation was pretty straightforward with the help of YouTube and a bit of common sense. Setting the time, stations, etc. was NOT intuitive, so I had to refer to the instructions, but the radio and CD player work well. The sound quality is much better than the original system. It's been in the old Explorer for several months, and I'm still a happy customer.

It works and sounds great, love all the features of it. I put it in a 2016 Jeep Patriot and replaced the factory standard speakers with Kenwood 6x9 3-ways.
