I gave five stars under "durability, but of course having owned the product for a week I have no idea. Other reviewers here claim they work together fine, and I'm sure they do. I AM IN NO WAY SAYING THAT THE DPX502BT WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY PAIR WITH AN Iphone!!! I am merely saying that I spent little time trying. What time I did spend, I was forced to turn off the Bluetooth on the phone and turn it back on to re-pair the two after leaving the vehicle. I will admit that I have done very little experimentation with the stereo and my wife's Iphone 6S Plus, as I can't stand Iphones (or other Apple products for that matter). Both the stereo and the remote are easy to understand and use if you have ever used an aftermarket stereo, and if you haven't, there isn't much of a learning curve. My wife walked out a few minutes later and immediately noticed the much "richer" sound.Įach time I left the vehicle and returned, the Galaxy and Kenwood immediately paired. As I mentioned above, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the Jensen, which is actually a higher-end product, a modern replacement costs three times as much as the Kenwood. I was totally blown away by the sound quality of the DPX502BT. As is my personal mandatory custom for any stereo equipment I purchase, Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" was the first music played on the stereo. The DPX502BT and the phone quickly paired. I haven't uninstalled it to see, but planning to. I downloaded and installed the KENWOOD Smartphone Control app on my Galaxy 5S, but to be honest I don't think I needed it. I used six 1/2" screws with flat washers and lock washers in the installation. Just to note, the threaded holes in the side of the stereo are #8-32. What should have been a 1-hour simple installation turned into a 3-hour frustrating PITA. I basically used the parts from the kit to Jerry-rig my own installation parts. Scoshe has other models that will work better. And DO NOT purchase a Scoshe GMT 2049A to install a double-DIN stereo in a 2003-2007 GM pickup. I chose this stereo because 1) stereo sub RCA jacks (my amp is not bridgeable), 2) I really wanted a double-DIN stereo, and 3) I have wanted a Kenwood for years and decided that I would finally get one.Īs far as installation, yes, you will have to remove part of the plastic bracket inside of the dash. There was nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't have bluetooth, and I do 99% of my listening from my phone, from my music library, Pandora, and IHeart Radio.
