    I used this app on my IPhones I used to have and it worked fine without issue...loved it...since then though I had to get a new phone but couldnt afford another IPhone and had to switch back to Android. Soon as I got the app downloaded again onto my newer Android Stylo 6. Automatically got the message that older version android only is compatible...so sucks...now time to get a different car stereo and definately not another Kenwood...this app ruined the Kenwood brand for me

    Always disconnects and stalls. I have to repeatedly unplug and plug in while driving. Very hazardous and ANNOYING.

    This app worked perfect on my note 8 until the Android 9 update. Now there is a cursor arrow that doesn't match what I am touching on the head unit screen. Dont know if this is a Android issue or Kenwood. would be nice if someone could fix this. As a side note the first time I used the Kenwood app after the update the Samsung DEX popped up, I was only allowed to hit continue.

    Would be nice if I could update the head unit software through this, pull error logs for the h/u to know it doesn't always connect the speakers when I get a call, but does the mic, review/adjust settings for the audio, and maybe even make the connection stable when the phone is connected. It would also be useful to allow for button customization (ever try to find the cd eject button hidden under 3 layers menus), instead this app doesn't do a darn thing except use up space on my phone.

    I have a Kenwood radio installed on my car. I got because it has Android Car play connectivity. I installed this app on my phone and it took complete control of my phone! I had to give the app permission to operate my phone's functions, then I could do nothing with my phone! No texting, no calling, no nothing! Not even when I was away from the car! I had to delete the app then I had to go in my phone's settings and turn the connectivity settings back to off! Worse app ever! DO NOT TRY IT!

    Works for me! My Kenwood stopped working with the android phone, and a pop-up stated this app needed to be installed. Back to full functionality, including touch screen in my car. No issues whatsoever, thankfully.

    Another waste of time. Can't charge my phone, can't connect to it. Utterly useless! Kills my battery trying to connect. I'm forced to use it, but it DOESN'T WORK!!

    Complete garbage. Running an s9 on the ddx375bt is completely useless. All you get is Bluetooth connection. No other interactions with phone are possible.

  9. BRYAN RATHBUN-avatar

    BRYAN RATHBUN

    One of the worst apps I have ever experienced! It took over control of my phone and made it nearly impossible to navigate the most basic functions and tasks. I was finally able to remove it from my phone.

    Everyone is blaming kenwood when in fact it's the phone. The phone must be MHL compatible. Galaxy s5 and below work fine. S6 and s7 do not have mhl, s8 does but you have to use the s8 tablet mhl adapter. Works fine.
