KENWOOD Music Control Customer Insights

1. If that issue was fixed, it would get more stars from me.This app USED to work great with my stereo ( KDC-BT562U ) , but recently the stereo stopped being able to control the app on the phone ( SAMSUNG GALAXY A51 5G with Android 12 ) and now I have to manually start and change songs from the app itself , instead of controlling everything from my stereo and it's remote control ... What happened to the app Kenwood ?? ... PLEASE fix this issue , tyvm and God BlessEXCELLENT! Downloaded this to try with my Kenwood stereo.

2. Played local files on phone, but phone was needed to control so Android auto or web link would be the thing to use for the driver.Has nothing to do with my Kenwood, but is one of the best music organization/players I've ever seen.

3. I regret the day I even heard the name Kenwood.Why can't I find a way to connect my Moto Z force to my DPX7928H via USB? when I first got it they connected fine.

4. I find that kind of funny because google play music displays it just fine but the Kenwwod app wont display info to a Kenwwod unit.

5. Couldn't get it to connect... but what a GREAT stand alone music player! I have been looking for a player like this for years.

6. Very disappointed in Kenwood, you had a great brand but you lost your way.The app works fine on my device.

7. It's light weight and does a fantastic job with a bonus - it organizes music by mood!impressive, almost too easy to use, no stupid ads, easy adjustments and modifications.

8. Worst of all I can make a call or receive a call and the app will be off but then it'll start playing music again...WHILE THE APP IS OFF.

9. Android auto was exited, but phone was still connected.

10. Pretty useless.Can't connect to yet ANOTHER Kenwood app.
