What does KENWOOD do?
The company was established in 1946 as the Kasuga Radio Co. Ltd. in Komagane City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. In 1960, the company was renamed Trio Corporation. In 1963, the first overseas office was founded in Los Angeles County, California, USA. In the early 1960s, Trio's products were rebranded by the Lafayette Radio Company, with a focus on citizens' band radio. An importer of Japanese-made electronics RadioShack was A&A Trading Co., and a bilingual Japanese-speaking manager from there, William "Bill" Kasuga partnered with George Aratani and Yoichi Nakase to establish a company that would be the exclusive importer of Trio products. The name KENWOOD was invented by Kasuga as being the combination of "Ken", a name common to Japan and North America that had been tested and proven acceptable to American consumers in the name of Kenmore appliances, and "Wood", referring to the durable substance as well as suggesting a relation to Hollywood, California. The brand recognition of KENWOOD eventually surpassed that of Trio, and in 1986 Trio bought KENWOOD and renamed itself KENWOOD. George Aratani was the first chairman of KENWODD USA Corporation and succeeded by Kasuga. On October 2008, KENWOOD merged with JVC to form new holding company, named as JVCKENWOOD. Today, products marketed by the company to consumer and commercial audiences fall within the home audio, car audio aftermarket and OEM, in car entertainment, amateur radio, professional two-way radio and DECT wireless intercom sectors.

Multimedia navigation unit DDX9020DABS with Carplay
Reviewed on 2020-07-15T07:52:29
Device does not operate reliably or consistently for wired mirroring of iPhone.
Support from the manufacturer is contradictory,defensive and dismissive.
Manual is too brief and does not make sense in some instances.
Retail supplier is critical and does not support some of the claims of manufacturer.
Device does not work in my building's car park.
Manual does not clearly state there may be issues with some features.
Completely regret my purchase and should have stuck with the original brand I liked.
If I could get a refund and replace the unit with. competitor brand I would do it, however that will cost me.
For the level of investment, these units are expensive, the manufacturer does not appear sufficiently concerned about my issues and the low opinion I have of their product, support, service and brand.
Never again Kenwood.

Bad experience with the kitchen…
Reviewed on 2020-07-12T07:52:14
Bad experience with the kitchen appliance. Something went wrong inside the device.When I tried to open it I must destroy the case. Inside I found very cheap motor "made in china". New motor cant be ordered to fix it. Its rubbish product. Now I preffered another brand of kitchen helpers. NEVER KENWOOD.

Very bad experience with Kenwood
Reviewed on 2020-07-09T13:20:48
Very bad experience with Kenwood. I bought Invertor Glow 1.5 AC and it stopped functioning just after two and a half years.The customer service experience is the worst. There is a big disconnect between the company and the third party customer service centers. The prices of parts are not consistent anyone can ask for any price. No one has proper information and no one has control over it. And if you have to replace a part you have to pay in advance. What kind of brand does this?
Really disappointed with Kenwood products and customer service. Still a story of Kenwood blender for some other time. I have decided to never buy any Kenwood product ever again.
Just me boycotting them might not make any difference but I can the first drop anyway!

I installed the kenwood head unit, it worked fine for 2 months. Then the screen stopped to turn on,and now only the leds from the buttons around the display light up, radio doesn't work, had to plug my old one back in. Waste of money, don't recommend.

Not as it seems
Reviewed on 2019-12-04T06:37:02
I order a Kenwood head unit+ HD Rear View Camera package from Amazon, but when I received it and opened,there was no rear camera to be found. I contacted Amazon customer service, and they sent me a rear camera. However, it’s very glitchy and has a poor quality view. The head unit USB port connects is not Android friendly. You have to buy the antenna separately. The sound quality is not as good as my factory radio in my challenger.

No Support From Kenwood
Reviewed on 2017-09-27T16:03:52
I was so excited to install a Kenwood DPX792BH stereo in my car. It wowed me at first.But when I ran into a problem, I learned that their support is nonexistent. With "PANDORA" painted on the face of the radio, you would expect Pandora to work well, but it doesn't. It worked fine at first, but soon got stuck in a mode where it only shows "READING", "CONNECT ERROR", or "CHECK DEVICE". I contacted Kenwood about the issue and they pointed the finger at Pandora. I contacted Pandora and they pointed the finger at Kenwood. Since doing a paperclip-assisted hard reset on the stereo temporarily fixes the problem, I blame Kenwood.
