As most people know, factory fitted car systems in anything bar premium saloon cars are usually there to fill a gap and play CDs. Upgrading the headunit is normally the first step, followed by speakers, cables and separate amps. The market is flooded with single-din headunits and needing to replace the stock CD player in a Nissan Silvia S15, there were plenty of options open to me. The basic spec on the KDC-W3037A is quite straight-forward: CD, radio, decent claimed power, face-off but most important to me was the AUX socket. I am so used to having hundreds of songs on my iphone, that I hardly ever carry any CDs in my Impreza. A 3.5mm stereo-Jack to jack cable plugged into the Kenwood not only allowed my ipod to function as the music source, but also turned it into a hands-free system. The sound quality is much improved over the stock Nissan system, the display is very clear, mobile phone clarity is impressive through the system as well. For the money, it's a very well known car audio brand with good build-quality and good sound reproduction. If I had to mark the unit down it's the Kenwood specific connection on the back is awkward to intially connect and the AUX socket is not active unless you go into the menu system to enable it. Also, if anyone buys this for a Nissan Silvia S15 you need a Nissan Micra year 2000 ISO lead, then the kenwood connection lead! Overall, the unit looks more than it's worth, it's well built, comes from a well known car audio brand and it also plays CDs well! Buy it with confidence, it's better than OEM!Read full review

A very nice looking unit. Quite a number of features that need to be accessed in order to maximise the output quality. You must follow the instruction booklet in order to use this unit to the best possible effect. once set-up correctly the sound output is fantastic. The input socket for an Ipod or MP3 player is a great added feature. A great unit for a very affordable price.
Kenwood has a good reputation but this model is lacking in features and sound is not very clear. Caused a short on my C class draining the battery.
