Review car radio Kenwood DDX155
This is an inexpensive but functional radio. This unit has a screen with a resolution of 800 × 480 dots and an aspect ratio of 16:9. It is very bright and contrasting, even in sunny weather everything will be seen clearly and without sun glare.
To the left of the display there is a menu button, an encoder for quick access to many functions and an aux multimedia input, covered by a lid from external damage and dust and dirt.
The Kenwood DDX155 radio screen has many settings, so to speak, for each user. It is possible to adjust the screen brightness, contrast, so that watching a movie or photos is flawless.
The radio is capable of working with only one disc, but even when moving, you can safely get it by pressing one button, without being distracted from the road. But disks are used less and less, since this radio has both an aux input and a USB with Bluetooth. The only advantage of the drive is the ability to watch movies recorded on the disc.
This radio is friendly with USB-carriers. Able to show 9,999 folders and files in a row, which will make it easier to find music or movies and allow you to download a significant number of files to a flash drive. The maximum number of characters in the name of one file is 15, other characters are not displayed. But this is not some serious disadvantage. After clicking on a file to play it, Kenwood DDX155 will open its player and show the album, artist and track name, and also give the option to put it on repeat or turn on random track order.
For such a price, the screen resolution is quite tolerable. Moreover, this is an excellent resolution for movies and photos, but for listening to music, it generally does not matter.
Output power per channel at peak is 40 watts. This radio is not suitable for building a powerful audio system in a car, but by connecting good speakers and a powerful subwoofer, you can get an acceptable sound that many users will like.
Synchronization with an iPhone is also a good plus in the Kenwood DXX155 piggy bank. By connecting a rear view camera to the connector on the rear panel, you can display the image on the screen.
