Kenwood's 25th means big things for the car audio world.

Pros: Best looking Kenwood, superb CD/MP3 sound quality, easy to use, tons of cool features.
Cons: Media Manager software could be difficult to get working, otherwise none.
The Bottom Line: After much research online and experiencing the sound quality and operation of the unit in person, it proved to be the better of the two models I compared.

For many years I was (and mostly still am) a die-hard Alpine fan and I wrestled with purchasing this ...
