Familiar quality and annoyances

I ordered the Kenwood in December and also incorporated directly as a replacement for my old Kenwood radio. The significantly lower installation depth is the clutter in my Opel Zafira A very accommodating. The existing 706 adapter still works. The display is no longer supported, but it is indeed pointed everywhere and you have to get over halt. The steering wheel remote control can still connect via the green wire is functioning properly.

If you have installed any extras, installation is very easy and fast. With output stage it is interesting. Unfortunately installed Kenwood, like many other manufacturers also only a preamplifier output to the normally expensive radios. Do you need more (eg subwoofer Extra) beat all manufacturers good 100 plan for the luxury model that almost never needs anyone. But you can indeed make do with Y cable.

The sound of the radio is excellent and the operation is simple and intuitive. A multi-line display would be desirable, and probably not much more expensive. But OK.

The front connectors are excellent and my Ipod can be operated properly. The Aux input also works excellently. USB sticks can also be detected quickly.

The playback of Flac is really a great add-on. MP3 files are played back properly from USB and SD card in most cases.
However, I have increased problems with the Amazon MP3 files. These cause many a time an NA File and can not be played every time. All files that I myself have ripped from CD to run properly and every time. I am still looking for a solution. I suspect that the variable bit rate so what to do, the Amazon uses. I can not prove it yet.
