Buyer's feedback: - * Sounds great but the right knob for changing tracks is hard to work. ...
I got this a few days ago and installed it without a problem.

The GOOD:
The sound is amazing compared to the stock Porsche radio I had. It has a lot of neat features like a G-meter.

The BAD(which makes this item a no go):
The right knob rotates and pushes up, down left and right. You push it left and right to change the tracks and up and down to change playlists/folders. It rotates to allow you to scroll through your playlists faster. The problem is to select the playlist you have to push the knob in but when you do this while driving you end up pushing it left/right/up/down but not easy to push it in. So instead of pushing it in to select your playlist you end up pushing the knob right and changing to the next track. This is so annoying that I want to return it.

I would not buy this again.

Buyer's feedback: - Unusable in a car
The UI for this head unit is completely useless if the unit is actually mounted in a car and you try to use it while driving.

- the right multi-function knob that can be pressed down, rotated, or moved left, right, up and down cannot be used with precision while driving. You end up skipping to the next play list rather then pausing, or selecting the next menu item rather than the next menu, etc.

- the display is too dim and grainy to see in daylight.

- the embedded software UI is poorly designed as far as mobile while-driving use is concerned.

I will toss this unit and reinstall the 5 year-old Excelon that actually worked. Kenwood didn't just miss the target with this new series of units, they totally missed the mobile application space.

Buyer's feedback: - * Great Stereo ...
I bought this receiver and installed it immediately into a 99 Mazda Miata. I had previously replaced the stock Bose system with an aftermarket setup and the latest stereo was last years high-end Pioneer (not tip top, but close). I wasn't as pleased with the pioneer as i had hoped to be, so I had been looking for a new stereo and found it in Kenwood! The ONLY thing that my Pioneer had that this doesnt is ASL (auto sound leveling) which allows the stereo to increase/decrease volume levels based on the noise in the cockpit. Meaning as you get on the highway, the volume increases to give the same 'sound' as what you could hear parked or in residential streets.

The things I LOVE about the Kenwood vs. Pioneer:
1) There is a 1 button pause on the kenwood, on the pioneer its hidden in several layers of menus.
2) 1 button random -- same as above.
3) Customize the display ---- and I mean really customize it!
4) Less cluttered display
5) Sound quality seems slightly better to me (running thru component blaupunkts in the doors and added 3.5 in blaupunkts to the windblocker
6) Customize the sound -- hi-pass settings/crossovers/hell, even send separate audio to the rear.
7) USB and aux plugs (and uncluttered as they go thru the rear)
8) has G-Force analyzer for est. HP and g rating and acceleration
9) bluetooth/cell/and a few other things i dont have a use for
10) tuner picks up WAY more than my pioneer did, even where i work where it's tought to pick up stations

Overall, I am seriously impressed with this unit! Love the sound, display, and features. the x692 seems to be very simmilar just without the color display and g-force stuff as the major differences.
