Review: Absolutely the best sounding single den you can get - The Kenwood Excelon is all that they say it is when I first installed it. I thought it was all hype, but didn’t sound very good. Would you have to go in and play with everything to find what you want this thing sounds amazing and for those who say the Bluetooth don’t work you’re right on the Bluetooth setting. It does not work move to auxiliary where it reads iPod and it will work within 10 seconds every time you get in your car. I had a brand new Alpine head unit that worked flawlessly, but could not get the sound. I was looking for this. Kenwood goes far and beyond what I was looking for.
Review: Great deck with awesome features - I’ve always been a fan of Kenwood’s decks. This is the first Exelon series Kenwood. I have purchased, and it has all the features and some I wasn’t expecting. I won’t list all the features because you can read the ad but I’m not a big touchscreen fan and I just like traditional head units like this one but this one packs a lot of great features that you don’t normally find in a unit like this, I’m running a blow punk, four channel amp, and 28 inch subs through the stack. It comes with three sets of 5 V RCA outs all the crossover adjustments and everything you would need to have a nice clean system installed it in my 03 jeep TJ if you’re looking for a traditional deck like this by this one well worth it the only drawback it does not come with the remote, but as I have found in my past experience that they just end up, sitting in my center consul anyway Bluetooth works great pairs easily nice to have a USB an auxiliary

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there an app for android?  the kenwood remote app indicates that it was built for older version of android, and continuously crashes.**
A: I have attached a link directly to Kenwoods KDCX304 page that shows an app option for streaming. https://www.kenwood.com/usa/car/excelon/kdc-x304/

**Q: Is the front usb port fast charging for Android?**
A: USB I/F	USB	USB 1.1 / 2.0 High Speed

**Q: Does the 304 have a connection for steering wheel controls**
A: It does. You will still need an interface to connect between the radio and factory controls. This interface is needed for almost all aftermarket radios in order to keep the volume and track controls working on the steering wheel. The interface works with most vehicles.

**Q: Will it fit a1989 f150?**
A: Yes it will. If you still have the factory radio installed you will need parts to replace it with any aftermarket radio.

Put this into my 2002 dodge Dakota, it was easy to install, and fits very well. So far, it’s working great, and made my music sound way better than the factory head unit.
