This app is such trash it could turn me away from being a fan of Kenwood (which I've been for over 8 years!). When I would run this app, it would basically block the Android app from running. I would have to power off the radio and my Pixel 2 and then MAYBE it would let Android Auto start. I can't for the life of me why Kenwood or whomever created this junky app wouldn't just have an app that mirrors your phone screen kinda like Chromecast.. Needless to say, I've deleted it and won't be reinstalling again.

I've been loyal to Kenwood for over 20 years, so I blindly splurged on the DDX9905S without doing much research. I feel like Kenwood just pulled a fast one and beat me out of my money. First, it's an adventure just to connect, probably a 60% proposition. Second, YouTube absolutely sucks. Don't play ANY music videos, so what's the use? Third, using the media player is pathetic. It's like a two year old designed it. The songs don't even go by the number of it, ONLY alphabetical.

used with my dmx 7705s A nice concept but... this is by far the worst attempt at an application I have ever seen. That's pretty bad considering I have worked on government projects before. Don't waste your time install android auto and ignore this. It is sad that the same cable that works with android auto isn't good enough for this app. Yeah the OEM samsung cable which was never used until i installed my radio. problems 1) it only connects when it wants to 2) cant get it to play pandora and use waze together 3) waze is shifted down about 1/4 inch so i cannot see the bottom of the screen. 4) waze crashes after the 3rd time directions are spoken. 5) app crashes whenever it wants why do i have to pick a star i wish i could take one away from someone elses review
