Worked when I first purchased my Kenwood Radio about 6 months ago....now it only acts as a media player... app updated yesterday but same results. Please fix , was an amazing app when it worked

K70%
by K####:

Connected easily, stable and works well with KDC BT710DAB head unit. A nice addition as a heads up display or remote. A bit unpolished in design or functionality and doesn't access all the functions and settings of the stereo.

Hate that it keeps connecting to my ACR recorded calls... Wish you could choose the folders it accesses... But every time I get in my car and plug it in... It goes right to playing calls... Not music

I just bought a Kenwood KDC-X701 radio and this app looks like a bunch of high school kids wrote it. It does have the capability to modify the "Sound" settings via bluetooth but one of the issues is there is a "User" setting but no way to change the user settings???. I hope Kenwood updates this app as it has potential to be much better. They also need to add a setting so that the electric antenna only goes up when in AM/FM mode, not all modes.

K70%
by K####:

Kmm-bt318u works flawlessly with the unit, all available setting options work instantly over Bluetooth. What I would wish for is zone color control and what frequency each band on the user eq is. I know there's the graphic eq, but it only gives you an idea of what you're doing not the numbers. And with the custom color on the unit I cant get the colors I want so I get either one of the colors or a close ish of both.

T70%
by T####:

Weak, lackluster, useless and cannot compete with other companies apps. Not reliable or useful to interact with the stereo. I'd like to know who at Kenwood signed off on QA and uses this outside the office. Super Wack!!!

X70%
by X####:

I have to unpair and repair Everytime to get the KMR318BT to connect to Galaxy S7 Edge. Almost too frustrating to use on a regular basis. Good for ease of us for some functionality of settings on the radio though. Almost there. It should recognize I am connected and sync.

K70%
by K####:

I really never got it to do anything except recognize ring tone for some of my contacts. Never got it to do anything else. I'm uninstalling.

B70%
by B####:

It does work well with the radio and does exactly what it is supposed to. The only issue is the software looks awful, it could have a much better look and feel to it. Although it does get the job done and does everything it's supposed to perfectly

BT518HD - I'm glad I can control the head unit with my hand. Once connected, I should not have to always select the "remote control" screen or my default/last media app. Taping the screen is not as fast, as pushing a button (volume up/down). The Gapless playback does not work, I always hear silence between songs. Phone = Google Pixel ... uninstalling, wish I received a real remote control!!!!

W70%
by W####:

Other than not working, discusting graffics clumsy menu. The whole purpose of dn loading this was to use as a remote for the radio. That part of the app doesn't even come up or show up in the menu....frankly crussiffiction is to good for the person who wrote this app.

This app on my Galaxy S7 doesn't connect to my 2017 bt568. Watched the tutorial on how to connect. Turned the receiver off and on again. Restarted my phone. Reinstalled the app. Just sits there "connecting." Maybe an update will fix it. But for now 1 star.

G70%
by G####:

This app is buggy. The connection to the receiver works one moment and then during a power cycle of the receiver will not connect anymore. I fixed this by making the receiver forget the phone and then re-pair the bluetooth connection. In portrait mode the message boxes are only 3 characters wide so you have to read down the screen. This gets fixed by rotating the screen to widescreen and then back. I'm using a Samsung galaxy s8
