2001.5 Volkswagon Passat Summary:
So far so good.
Installation was very easy with provided kit. The unit slides in place
of VW Monsoon unit with ease. It did not require ANY modification of
the dash or mounting sleeve in the dash. The "cubby" below the
stock unit is still in the same place and functional.
The unit works well with the Monsoon amp/speakers. Decent radio
reception. CD player hasn''t skipped once in these first two months.
Radio controls/displays match VW dash lights very well.
I give 5 stars for value due to the unit''s "stock" lighting, and sound
quality. I give 4 stars for overall rating, simply because this unit is not
top of the line (NOTE: This is not that I think the unit is less than perfect
but I wouldn''t equate a KIA with a Mercedes either, although either
could accomplish the job), and the controls could be better Strengths:
The unit''s CD hasn''t skipped yet. The radio reception appears
as strong as any other stereo I''ve had. Many preset audio
settings are helpful. Weaknesses:
Like most other units I''ve looked at, the
unit has buttons for volume control instead
of rotary knob, but this could be labelled
a personal preference.
The controls are not as intuitive as previous
Kenwoods. I find it difficult to re-learn
the controls when I am in the car after driving
my other autos. Similar Products Used:
None
