I bought the Kenwood to replace a Pioneer car stereo, previously installed by Best Buy, but which seemed to have a weak receiver, especially for a local classical station. The original Toyota stereo worked very well until the CD player crashed, which necessitated replacing it. Sad to say the Kenwood worked no better (and perhaps a bit worse) than the Pioneer. I have no idea (and neither did several Best Buy staff) why this problem existed, since the original Toyota system was on my 2009 Camry, and I would have expected newer stereos to work as well, if not better. Perhaps there is some issue with the connection between the stereo and the antenna, or the weakness of this particular model with the antenna, or just a Toyota problem with any system other than one specifically made for Toyota, but it has been a frustrating experience.

Wire harness apparently worked since the radio worked, but the radio was of such poor quality, that the quality of the wire harness could not be adequately determined.

I guess this worked after installation, but the radio was of such poor quality, that I cannot judge the quality of this required item.

Interface

Verified Purchase:Yes
The interface seems to work ok, but the radio is of such poor quality, that the interface is a moot point. I can change stations with the steering wheel interface, but since the result is mostly static because of the poor radio amplifier, it negates any good qualities of the interface.

If you'd like to handle the installation yourself, there are some required parts you'll need. You can add them to your cart on the next screen.

Professional Installation

Verified Purchase:Yes
The installation was done professionally, if not a little slower than I was promised. However, the product installed did not meet my expectations for quality and is much worse than the previous OEM stereo in the car.
I would recommend the installation, but not the Pioneer product.

Jam to favorite tunes on this Pioneer in-dash CD player. A built-in MOSFET amplifier enhances performance capabilities, and Bluetooth compatibility makes it easy to pull music from your smartphone or other device. This Pioneer in-dash CD player also has an AM/FM receiver so you can listen to local news stations.

Useless Car Stereo

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had this receiver installed in my Camry after the original CD player went bad. Toyota would only install a rebuilt stereo, and this was unacceptable. There were problems with the reception from the beginning. Signal quality was weaker than the Toyota stereo and when the car was moving the reception wavered. I called Pioneer and they suggested an incorrect hookup, which was not the case. On a trip to the Midwest, receiving local stations was nearly impossible, a problem not experienced with the original radio. The staff at Best Buy could not provide any solution, but it seems apparent that the receiver is of such low power that it cannot amplify the signal coming from the antenna. In addition, the instruction manual is obtuse and spends more time explaining how to connect to Sirius, Spotiify, and Blue Tooth, than to explain how to get the radio to operate effectively. I have had good luck with Pioneer products in the past, but this is of such poor quality, that I would not recommend it to anyone. Best Buy should learn more about the quality of their products, before selling them.
