Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car. The convenience of Bluetooth® and the best in radio Kenwood's KDC-BT752HD CD receiver offers a great one/two punch with Bluetooth hands-free calling that'll help you stay focused on the road, and HD Radio® reception that will keep you entertained when you're driving. The crowning touch — you can adjust the button lighting to match the color of your dash illumination. Hands-free calls and audio streaming When a call comes in, just touch the dedicated "phone" button and talk hands-free — just like your caller is sitting next to you. The receiver will even auto-reply to text messages to let your correspondents know that you're busy driving. And Bluetooth audio streaming connects this receiver to songs stored on your compatible music player — with no wires cluttering up your dash and console. Experience HD Radio™ HD Radio offers the best in radio sound, with FM that's near CD-quality and AM that comes through like old-school FM.

Plenty of other music options Connect your iPod® or iPhone® into the receiver's front-panel USB input, and start searching through your albums, artists, and playlists for your favorite tunes with the easy-to-use controls. And if you've got your music on an Android device, you're still in luck. Go to the Android market and download Kenwood's free Music Control app. You'll enjoy a variety of search and playback features when your phone is plugged into the front-panel USB port. Streaming radio from your phone If you enjoy Pandora® Internet radio on your iPhone®, Android, or Blackberry, you'll appreciate the built-in Pandora® controls — you can scroll through your stations, bookmark songs, and give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down right from the receiver's face.

Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Kenwood stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and this Kenwood, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls.

In addition, the rotary knob allows you to scroll through and select your music tracks when the Music Search function is activated. Volume Offset: The level of each source may be independently adjusted to prevent radical leaps in output volume when switching from one source to another. The available settings range from -8 to 0 (-8 to +8 for Aux source). Speaker Settings: The Speaker Setting function tailors the System Q Sound Control settings according to the type of speakers in your vehicle. You may select a Speaker Setting of 'SP-Off' (flat/off), 'SP-OEM' (for OEM factory speaker systems), 'SP-6x9/6' (for systems with 6" and 6"x9" speakers), or 'SP-5/4' (for systems with 4" and 5" speakers). Preset EQ: Eight EQ curves are preset into memory, allowing you to recall the best preset EQ curve for different types of music. Each preset has its own level settings for bass (100Hz), midrange (1kHz), and treble (12.5kHz). You can choose from the following preset EQ curves - Rock, Pops, Easy, Top 40, Jazz, Natural, Game, and User. Bass Boost: In addition, The Kenwood CD receiver features a Bass Boost control that can be set to the following levels (BB1, BB2 or Off). Loudness: This function enhances low and high frequencies to make the sound clearer lower volumes. There are 3 levels (LV1, LV2, or Off). Source Tone Memory: This feature allows you to store System Q bass, middle and treble tone settings for each source (CD, AM/FM, Aux, USB, iPod, and Pandora). Supreme Setting: When MP3 or WMA files encoded at a low bit rate (less than 96 kbps, 44.1k, 48kHz) are played, the Supreme Setting function restores their high frequencies so the sound quality is closer to files encoded at a high bit rate. The processing is optimized for the compression format and the bit rate used. When the Supreme Setting is Off, the unit plays the original sound stored in the audio file. 6ch/2.5V Preamp Outputs: The KDC-BT752HD features front, rear and subwoofer 2.5-volt preamp outputs. The front and rear speaker preamp outputs are balance and fade adjustable. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading.

You can adjust the high-pass crossover from "Through", 100, 120, or 150 Hz. The "Through" selection is a full-range setting. This feature is very helpful when you have smaller-type speakers in the front and larger-type speakers installed in the rear of the vehicle. Subwoofer Controls: The Kenwood KDC-BT752HD offers the following subwoofer controls, when you have the unit's subwoofer preamp output activated. Low Pass Filter: The receiver features a built-in Low Pass Filter control for the preamp-output, when the output is set to Subwoofer. You can select from 85 Hz, 120 Hz, 160 Hz, or off. Subwoofer Phase: You can adjust the phase of the subwoofer output between 180-degrees (Reverse) or 0-degrees (Normal). Subwoofer Level: Once the Subwoofer preamp output is activated, you can independently control the subwoofer preamp output level (-15 to +15) from the CD receiver. Tel Mute: The KDC-BT752HD features a cell-phone mute wire (tan) in its harness that when hooked up to your car's phone system mute wire will automatically mute the receiver's audio signal when a call comes in. Key Beep: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off. Display Features Detachable Face: The Kenwood KDC-BT752HD features a single front loading CD face that detaches from the chassis to deter theft. The head unit includes a cloth pouch for storing the face-plate when detached. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired. Note: An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can also be purchased for this unit. Fluorescent Display: The Kenwood head unit features a single-line, 13-character, bluish-white backlit fluorescent display. Variable Button Illumination: The Kenwood KDC-BT752HD features variable color button illumination. You can choose from one of 24 preset colors, have the unit scan through all 24 preset colors continuously, or customize your own color (RGB; 0-9). The custom setting allows you to individually adjust the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue (from 0-9) to better match your vehicle's interior lights. The Kenwood logo and eject button remain red. Illumination Dimmer: The head unit's fluorescent display has two dimmers settings to adjust the brightness of the display according to the surrounding illumination. You can switch the display dimmer setting On or Off. The head unit's button illumination has an independent dimmer setting from the display which lets you set the button illumination dimmer to LVL1, LVL2, or Off. The Kenwood logo and eject button remain the same brightness. Display Illumination/Clock Display: When the unit is in Standby mode, the face and button illumination is "keyed." When the Clock Display is turned on and the unit is in Standby mode, the Clock Display is also "keyed." Pressing and holding the source button turns the unit off completely. Demo Mode: This unit features a Demo mode which can be turned On or Off within the menu. Remote Control Wireless Remote Control: The KDC-BT752HD comes with an IR remote control (RC-405) for wireless operation of the head unit. The remote will control Audio, CD, USB, Bluetooth, and Tuner functions. It is powered by a single CR2025 3V lithium-cell battery (supplied). Numeric Keypad: The wireless remote control features a numeric keypad (0-9) which allows direct track access of your music tracks & files (from CD or USB), as well as AM/FM presets. You can also dial a phone number using the remote's numeric keypad. Attenuator: The CD receiver features an Attenuator button on the supplied remote control that turns the volume down very quickly with one touch of the button. Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input wire (blue/yellow) within the included wiring harness that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately).

Great product and a great price. A lot of settings most head units don't usually have. If your in the market for a new unit this should be looked at. Great product overall no complaints!

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 About the stability issue Written By Ya, San Diego, CA on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased one last year from Crutchfield. After working flawlessly for a while, a-day-long socal sunlight and heat seemed to have killed some smd inside; the head unit turned blue and purple, and showed no responses to any buttons, just as what happened to other customers. So I took the head unit off and stored it in the glove box for a few months. Then one day out of curiosity, I put the head unit back on: The receiver lives! Not sure what happened exactly. But a few days earlier, I did disconnect the car battery and pull/plug the fuses while swapping headlight bulbs. I guess that had powered off the receiver and reset the system. The feign death happened again some time later. But the reason seemed to be the head unit was not secured correctly. Pros: Greatly HD radio quality, sound quality, and ample connectivity. Cons: The QC issue (see above), while recoverable in my case, is regrettably inexcusable. Some important functions are off by default, and buried deeply in the menu system. Was this review helpful?

Written By Nate, Maryland on Wednesday, October 16, 2013 Bought this less than a year ago and it worked fine for a while. Now the lights on the front are a weird pink and blue, and the unit will not turn on. Very upset that this head unit did not even last a year.

I bought this radio to replace my factory install, which did not pick up stations well (I live in a fringe area). The radio had a high receptivity factor, so I hoped for improvement. When it arrived, I found that the installation guide was really inadequate in telling how to safely remove the old radio. So I signed up for the InstallCard prepaid installation. Installer did a great job, by the way. After the radio was installed, its receptivity was noticeably worse than the factory radio. To boot, the display is really difficult to read during the day, as the reflection of sunlight off the panel is far brighter than the display. Pros: Good InstallCard installation. Bluetooth interaction is nice (cellphone, Pandora, etc.) Cons: Poor FM fringe receptivity (worse than factory radio) Difficult to read display during daylight Inadequate installation guide.

I'm so impressed. I've only had it in for a couple of days so I am still trying to work out all the different knobs and features. As I play with it more I wll update. So far the only thing I haven't figured out is the B/T and Pandora. It does not always connect, and the clock feature getting it to stay on constantly. Love the sound the adjustability and the look is amazing. Pros: features, look and the geek in me love this unit Cons: Pandora and B/T but they may be my phone 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Fast 2 day shipping was great! All products came and were in unopened perfect condition. I even ordered an open box unit which appeared to have never been opened. Unfortunately, the kit that was provided does not fit this head unit. I understand most single din head units are "standard size" but apparently not this one. I attempted to install with a Scosche 142CR1286B dash kit, but it did not fit. I too had to modify the ISO brackets, but the final trim piece that is unique for my vehicle did not fit. Crutchfield sent out another dash kit, but it was for a Jeep with navigation, which mine does not have. I figured I would hook this unit up and test it anyways before I went to a local retailer to purchase a different dash kit. It worked well unit I found that the local retails don't carry a different dash kit for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I called Crutchfield and asked for an exchange for an Apline CDE-HD137BT. Recieved this unit 2 days later and it fit perfectly into the Scosche 142CR1286B kit. No problems and very please with new Alpine unit. I am in the process of returning this Kenwood HU now. Pros: Attractive and has great features for the price point. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 3 out of 5 Not Good for Pandora with iPhone Written By TomM, PA on Thursday, January 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this because I wanted Bluetooth calling, iPod connectivity, and Pandora connectivity. I've got an iPhone 3GS. Bluetooth phone works OK. People I call tell me the sound quality of my voice isn't great, but that's not a surprise considering the built-in mike. iPod works great. But with an iPhone, Pandora is a big disappointment. You can't stream via Bluetooth to the Pandora source on the receiver (this has been confirmed by Kenwood tech support) as you can only do that with a Droid (or maybe Blackberry... I"m not sure). You can stream via Bluetooth to a Bluetooth audio source on the receiver. and it sounds OK, but you don't get song titles displayed and you have no control from the receiver or steering wheel controls. Or, you plug in via USB. Then you get song titles and receiver control but you have to unplug if you want to change Pandora stations. Also, if you're out running errands and want to keep your phone with you, you're got to unplug and plug in every time you get in and out of the car. So if you have an iPhone and want to listen to Pandora a lot I recommend you try a different product. Pros: Good iPod interface Cons: Poor voice quality Poor Pandora interface for iPhone Slow to connect to phone and download contact info on startup Was this review helpful?

It was easy to get the dash cover off on my 2005 Hundai Elantra GT Hatchback- instructions for all parts were pretty simple. I'd never installed one before and feel empowered :) I don't know if it's the unit or the way we did the wiring, but the two component speakers on the upper doors are not outputting any sound. At the time I thought maybe I'd ordered a 4 output unit, but now checking the specs it says it has 6. (If there's a Crutchfield tech person reading this, I'd love advice on how to get them going). Much better sound than the stock radio and way improved input features. Pros: looks really sleek with the elantra dash - blacks match - excellent - looks like it came with the car. Great deal on Refurbished. Cons: I'll have to do more research to figure out how to get the 2 small component speakers working. And take the dash apart again. Was this review helpful?

Hands free built-in microphone is worthless. It has no option to plug in a microphone to get closer to the driver. It is next to impossible to disconnect the unit from your phone when you realize the other party cannot understand a word you are saying. The menus for everything are not intuitive and you can wreck your car trying to find anything on an ipod using this unit's menu. Pros: Sound is good. Cons: Everything else. Was this review helpful?

Written By CliffP, Media, PA on Sunday, January 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought this head unit for my little brother's 2005 Dakota with Infinity. Got him all the bells and whistles to be able to use his steering wheel controls and to keep the built in amp. The PAC unit for the SWCs has an issue working completely with a very few 2005 Dakotas with Infinity... Go figure, my brother has one of those Dakotas... Long and short, the SWC worked, but the unit would not turn on the amp. The tech staff helped me to to trouble shoot the issue, sent me a new PAC unit, and then made arrangements to have a different SWC unit sent out with a new cable harness to bypass the amp that came with the truck, once I talked my little bro down from the "no amp" ledge. The radio works great, and sounds great, even with the stock Infinity speakers. I've bought from Crutchfield in the past, and I will definitely buy from Crutchfield again in the future. Thank you, once again. You folks ROCK! Pros: * Easy install with all the special Crutchfield goodies. * Über smart and helpful tech staff. Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Great product! But handsfree parrot not for noisy car. Written By Kraut, Sacramento CA. on Saturday, January 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sounds great, great features for the money............everything into one good bundel. Only one problem.....My wife has a little sports car........and the sound proofing is not part of a sports car.....it's not a Lexus, or a Lincoln, it's a sports cars. Needless to say, at speed, there is alot of engine noise, and road noise.......so the Bluetooth hands free calling feature, that has a mic built into the stereo, picks up too much road noise. The call quality coming in over the speakers was great, but on the other end, too much road noise. Pros: Everything! Cons: Built in mic for hands free calling is not for alot of road noise, make sure that your car is nice and quiet...... 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The Kenwood KDC-BT752HD is just as described. It does what I expected it to do, sound awsome. By the way I used the RCA amp outs to connect with the alpine MRP-F300 amp and then to the Alpine component speakers in the front and Alpine 2 ways in the rear doors. I spoke with 2 different Chrutchfield advisors who both had good ideas and reccomendations. I am able to use my 5 gig memory stick in the USB slot. My samsung tablet I use the 3.5mm stereo plug. My Samsung phone I can make hands free calls thru Bluetooth connection. Only negative so far is my phone does not always auto connect. It waits for me to press "ok to connect to unknown device" even though the phone states the device being the Kenwood KDC-BT752HD which it is already been linked to. That seems to be a problem with the phone not the reciever. Pros: Features galore and the lightshow is cool. Cons: The phone thing and the learning curve.

It has more boom, more features, easy to use, and HD radio has stations I didn't even know existed. The bluetooth and pandora paired easily.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 A Lot for the money Written By Chuck2, Kingsport TN on Friday, January 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed in my son's 2003 Legacy coupe. Great detailed instructions from the Crutchfield team as usual. First off the BT752HD unit is not done justice by the photos the colors (24 of them I believe) have a lot of visual pop to them and add a lot of wow factor to the appearance. The Kenwood andriod app works great, pairing with the phone was simple and the headunit gives you total PANDORA functionality with the BT connection. Also streams from Google Play account, will read the artist and track info while playing from Google and will even let you track forward and back, I dont believe it will let you change playlists on GP though have to do that from phone but still a plus that it will stream anything from your phone. Audio quality from USB thumbdrive, BT connection, or from CD were all excellent. I am a fan of Alpine units but I am considering replacing my aging CD player in my truck with this one. Havent tried the ipod connection or phone calls through unit yet, although I do understand that this unit does not have a built in mic and you have to use your phone as the mic source. Important note about the SUB OUTPUT WHILE IN BT MODE: For some reason the unit is set to only play with the front speakers as a default setting. You have to enter Bluetooth settings, then Detailed Settings, then BT audio settings(this is labeled slightly differently but I dont rem the exact wording), and switch that setting from front to all, after that subs and rears will work great. Pros: Android BT and full Pandora functionality from Android BT. Versatility, will play just about any medium available right now. Vibrant colors and appearance. Comes with a remote. Has a HD radio (a lot more channels brought in), A lot of sound shaping options at your fingertips. Very good price for so many features. 3 preouts including a sub preout, you may not need it now but if you want to expand your system you will. Cons: No built in microphone, for true hands free calling. No other negatives yet. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Very happy Written By Erik G., Spring, TX on Tuesday, January 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered this unit because it had everything I wanted and it has not been a disappointment on any level. The BT works great without an external mic to install. Having the HD was a big factor for me and I absolutely love it. The only feature or lack thereof that I find annoying is that the time is not displayed in all modes at all times. The install was my first and even I had it wired and installed within an hour and a half. Pros: HD, BT, AUX inputs and it just looks great to boot. Cons: Clock not always on display. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Awesome Stereo Written By Anonymous, Sherwood, AR on Monday, December 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This stereo has an amazing sound! I really like the bluetooth feature because it makes answering calls so much easier than digging my phone out of my pocket while i'm driving. And the description does say that the unit will automatically reply to text messages with "I am driving". The only problem with that is that the phone sends the message to a random number in the phonebook. Another bluetooth issue is that your subs won't work when you are streaming bluetooth. If you have a headphone jack on your device, you can run it through the AUX input to use your subs. Besides that, the radio is great, and I couldn't have asked for a better radio for the price. Pros: Incredible sound, ease of use, adjustable color setting to suit your taste, and bluetooth handsfree function. Cons: Automatic reply to text messages sent to random numbers.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Great unit, especially for the price Written By Mark K, Denver, CO on Saturday, December 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great unit, especially for the price. Packed with features and sounds great! Installation was simple and it looks great. It does take it a while to download the phone book and SMS messages when it connects to the phone, but considering how much data it's downloading, that's to be expected. It will even receive incoming calls before it's done downloading, so I don't think it's a problem, at least not for me. It does take about an hour to get everything set up to your taste, but that's a one time deal, and it helps get you familiar with the controls so you can focus on driving when you take it out for a test drive. :) I did hit a small snag while installing it, but even at 7:30 PM Mountain time on a Friday evening, tech support was available to answer my question. With customer service like that, how can you go wrong? Total installation time, including calling tech support for a Ford F150 was an hour and twenty minutes. The installation instrucions were spot on, and everything fit perfectly. I haven't found anything I don't like about the unit yet, and don't really expect to. My last vehicle had a Kenwood in it, and I loved it. That's why I decided I was going to get a Kenwood again. I love the unit, and my wife wants me to get one for her car. I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone who asked me for my opinion. Pros: Packed with features Sounds great Hands free calling is awesome 3 different ways to play MP3s from my smartphone Can change most control colors to match dash lights Cons: Can't change the color of the text display to match the color of the rest of the unit.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 1 out of 5 Completely disappointed Written By PD, ABQ, NM on Monday, December 24, 2012 Everything about this unit is fine and as advertised, except the equalizer. There are only three settings: bass, mid, treble, which is typically sufficient to get good sound. However, the bass setting includes much of what should be considered midrange, so when you turn up the bass it sounds muddy. Turning down the midrange does not correct this as it only diminishes the vocals. The bass lacks punch and peaks at too high of a frequency, and there is no adjustment combination I can find between this headunit and the controls on my amplifier that makes it even acceptable. I have tried adjusting gain, crossover, and bass boost on my amplifier, along with all combinations of bass, mid, treble, bass boost, and loudness on this deck. I have very good JBL speakers pushed by a JBL amplifier, and my previous headunit did not have this problem so I am sure it is with this unit. I do not recommend this product unless you already have, or are planning on using a graphic equalizer. Perhaps Kenwood assumes those who buy this unit will also be using a subwoofer. Since I do not have a sub, I cannot comment on the bass fidelity from the subwoofer output. Pros: Many features, seems solid. Cons: The equalizer and bass fidelity completely ruins this unit for me. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Exactly what I wanted Written By Brent, Santa Fe, NM on Thursday, December 20, 2012 I bought this in March 2012, and I have been very happy with it since. I replaced a Panasonic unit with 8 disc changer that I had in my truck for about 10 years. I primarily use the unit to listen to MP3s via the USB port since I have converted my entire CD collection to MP3s. Now I buy new music through MP3. I listen to the radio or a CD rarely. The front USB port is not a problem since I found the SanDisk Cruzer Fit USB drives. These drives are the size of a dime and don't stick out very far from the front of the radio face. The playback of MP3s is exactly what I would expect from a digital music player. The folders and songs are sorted alphanumerically. (Some car receivers don't do this!) There are 'random all' and 'random inside a folder' features. (Some car receivers don't have the 'random all' feature!) Text scroll for song info is good. The folder-browsing feature is intuitive. I did have a limitation with the maximum number of folders allowed (255). So I reorganized my MP3 album collection to have one folder per artist. Sometimes a folder is not recognized by the receiver, but recopying the folder onto the USB drive again seems to fix this problem. The bluetooth hands free works well. Sometimes the download of the contact list from my phone gets hung, and I have to turn the radio off then back on. The bluetooth music playback is OK. The sound quality is lacking. I really like the 'volume offset' feature for the different sources. Pros: MP3 player interface. Volume offset for each source. Three band EQ. Subwoofer volume adjust. High-pass filter for speakers. Low-pass filter for sub. So many settings, that you can set it just the way you like it. Cons: Automatic download of contact list from cell phone. Download of contacts hangs. Contact list not saved, so the download happens every time the phone syncs. Was this review helpful?

Written By boxdin, Albuquerque on Wednesday, December 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Used to buy cheap car audio, last one had a lousy AM reception among other issues. I decided to step up and buy a little higher end unit, in this case up to 179 and I'm glad I did. Reception in all bands is excellent, pulls in stations better than any other I've seen. Many other features help too, the output is so clean I get great sound in al ranges from old (1990) speakers in a RV. I was amazed, even bass is really good and clean. Remote is easy to use (some aren't) and I went nuts and got 3 of these so no matter what I drive I've got the same radio, another problem I had. Pros: Love these universal DIN 1 chassis and slide in brackets, make it all very easy. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I bought this for my daughters 78 VW diesel Rabbit. Excellent stereo for the cost. Has all the features I was looking for. Pros: Cost comparison compared to other HU's with the same features was excellent. Cons: So far BT quality for the phone needs tweaking. I can hear incoming calls great but voice return has echo and background noise according to people on the other end. It could be the fact it's coming from a 78 VW diesel Rabbit which is not a quiet running vehicle... 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 2 out of 5 Disappointed and Frustrated Written By TimM, Federal Way, WA on Tuesday, December 18, 2012 Its great when it works. Getting it to work consistently on a daily basis, nearly impossible. I've had this unit for three months now and would love to get rid of it. When it works it's fantastic, love listening to Pandora commercial free, hands free calling, stream music from my phone (Samsung Galaxy S II). But getting it to connect to my phone through BT is a pain!! sometimes it connects fine, others it connects part way. For instance It'll connect to Pandora and will control it but the music still plays on the phone and not the head unit. Other times it doesn't connect at all. I select Pandora and it'll say, "Check Device". When I do it'll say, "Pandora / Accessory". Nothing you can do to change it but restart BT then if your lucky you might get the "Pandora / Kenwood". SMS. OMG!!! NEVER WORKS!!! It'll notify me that I've received a new SMS message, then ALWAYS displays the wrong person!!! For instance, I get a text from "John Smith". The head unit will display "Fred Jones"!! Not even close!! Like if that's not annoying enough, at first it's set up to to reply automatically with "I'm Driving.". So when I'd get a text from John Smith, Fred Jones would get a text from me saying, "I'm Driving". Downloading. Apparently it'll download your phone book or something. This apparently is set to do so automatically every time you connect. EVERYTIME. Turn off to get gas, and it downloads it all again. takes several minutes. Pros: Not bad when it works. Cons: Getting it to connect consistently. Bad SMS. Constantly "downloading". too many and confusing menus. When you lose BT connection it displays "HF DISCONT". HF?!?! what the heck is that?!?! It couldn't just say, "BT DISCONT"? No off button or setting. You can change the color of the light around the buttons but not the display its self. Wouldn't buy another one. If it was possible I'd send it back. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality

I did change a few things up, but believe it's still a valid test. All shot were from 20 yards. All heads are 100 gr. except where noted.
Bow: 65# Alien X
Arrow: Easton 2216 Lite @ 399.4 gr.
Target: Cow ribs (all within .15 thickness) in front of a Block target
Arrow speed calculated at 249 fps
KE calculated at 69 ft/lbs
Penetration Depth:
1. Shuttle T Locks
2. Magnus Buzzcut
3. Wasp Bullet
4. Thunderhead (85 gr.) (lost one blade)
5. ABC Sonic Pro (85 gr.)
6. Rage 2 Blade
7. Swhacker
8. Slick Trick Magnum (no penetration past blades)
1. Magnus Buzzcut ( dulled blades, no visible damage)
2. Shuttle T Lock (dulled blades, slight nick in blade,)
3. Wasp Boss Bullet (dulled blades, edge bent over on one blade)
4. Thunderhead (lost one blade, others dulled)
5. ABC Sonic Pro (dulled blades, edges bent, tip folded over"
6. Rage 2 Blade (dulled blades, badly bent blades"
7. Slick Trick Magnum (dulled blades, edges bent over, blades bent in towards each other losing the "X" pattern)
8. Swhacker (totally demolished, ferrule badly bent, blades bent, only one blade deployed due to damage)
Overall Performance:
1. Shuttle T Locks
2. Magnus Buzzcut (very close to #1)
3. Wasp Boss Bullet
4. Thunderhead
5. ABC Sonic Pro
6. Rage 2 Blade
7. Swhacker
8. Slick Trick Magnum
The top 3 heads are all basically a toss up on which performed best. Slightly better penetration was the deciding factor in the overall. Had the Thunderhead not lost a blade, it would have been in the same running. The big suprises to me were failure of the Slick Trick Magnums (I have taken several deer with them and like them), the lack of damage to even the bleeder blades on the Magnus Buzzcut, and the total failure of the Swhacker.
Pics are in the next post. Feel free to ask me anything about the test.

Ambisonics is a means of recording whereby a single channel is encoded into four independently controllable output channels. Spatial orientation during playback is created through the interactive and complementary behaviour of a (variably sized) group of loudspeakers. Loudspeakers during ambisonic playback tend to not be perceived as point sources, and ambisonics is seen by some as an effective means of avoiding the problems of diffused stereo performance practice, in particular the loss of spatial control when a listener is situated too far from the stereo 'sweet spot'.

Travel, especially international travel, can have big social and environmental effects – both positive and negative. When planning your honeymoon, consider the impact of your plans, and make an effort to bolster the local economies and respect the environment of the places you visit.
Check out these five tips for an eco-friendly and socially responsible honeymoon:
Stay close to home
Reduce your carbon emissions by being a tourist close to home –an idea that's easy on your pocketbook, too. Visit a local National Forest, or support a small business by staying in a local bed-and-breakfast.
Choose an eco-friendly resort or hotel
Gaiam has a great list of eco-friendly resorts. If you're looking for chi-chi international travel, one of these might be right up your alley. Traveling in the US? Kimpton makes a great effort to be eco-friendly (and you can bring your pet!).
Avoid cruises
Cruises are devastating to the marine environment – instead, choose a tropical location and stay there. Consider Florida or Hawaii – both popular destinations have made efforts to "green" their resorts and hotels.
Take an eco-friendly road trip
Rent a hybrid vehicle and get to know the United States, up close and personal: take a road trip. Support small businesses around the country, and gain a new appreciation for your home country.
Take a volunteer honeymoon
A volunteer honeymoon is a great way to bond after your wedding by giving back, together. Make a lasting difference in the world by volunteering, either inside the United States or internationally.
We hope that you find these tips helpful. Congratulations, and enjoy your trip!
