Kenwood KDC-BT778HD CD Stereo Receiver Reviews

It's Blue tooth connectivity and Apple Play.

Stereo: plenty of power and sounds great with my new Kicker 5 1/4" speakers (i put them in the dash and the roll bar pods).
Install Kit: Perfect fit and easy to install. The slot at the bottom of the kit is too small for phones in a case, so kind of useless. I am considering going for the double-din conversion kit later so I can have a larger slot. Storage in a TJ is lacking.

Primary review point: installation. the converter kit ( 96086-0702) is great. I had a Kenwood model, Kenwood's documentation is abysmal for the things the kit refers to "manufacturer's instructions." The enclosed 2 page description is scant at best, and while I appreciate "Bob" furnishing his phone # (I didn't call it), the coverage is woeful. Security bolt on the back barely addressed. Spent a while on YouTube and found "How to: 2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ Stereo install" - by "Dave in Real Life" - OUTSTANDING. Short (<15min) and covers multiple important "gotcha's" -- highly recommend. Unit itself seems fine, sound quality great with factory speakers. Reception (using same antenna as I had with factory radio) may be a little weaker, I will compare this further. LOTS and LOTS of menu-deep functions on this with small buttons ... should have a warning on it "do not operate while driving!!" if you're by yourself. Overall, seems a good product, but beware install and multi-layer menus with wicked small buttons hard to see if driving.

Questions

Does this radio play music through the Bluetooth?
Yes. It will stream audio through bluetooth along with the handsfree calling features. Music data on the display would require a USB connection. Thanks for your inquiry.
Will the bluetooth on this unit allow hand free use of cell phone?
Yes it will. Depending on your phone provider you may physically need to dial the number, but a supplied microphone and noise cancellation will allow call integration.
Does the 199.99 price include the installation kit for the 1999 Jeep Wrangler TJ?
Yes, that's correct. If you selected your year/model from the drop-down menu that price includes the installation kit.
