Kenwood KDC-M4524G CD/MP3 receiver Review

Overall Rating

Clear sound, Good quality, nice look, seems to fit a cars dash well, track display for some CD's is Wicked!

Has overheated a couple of times on long journeys causing distortion.

I have had the Kenwood KDC-M4524G CD/MP3 receiver for a couple of weeks now and I am very pleased with the results of purchasing this Cd player. Having previously had a Clio MTV (which met an unfortunate end) I just had to get a good cd player to match! This one definately is very good, and certainly does the job! The track display (which appears for some CD's telling you the name of the track) is very cool and certainly adds to the quality!! Having a cd player seems essential in a car these days so if you cant get factory fitted then this one seems both affordable and good quality. The only problem I have had so far is that driving up to Liverpool (a 4 hour journey) it did overheat, CD's were running very hot and started to distort the sound after a while. This may be a problem with my particular model and having had a kenwood before, I know it is not supposed to heat my cd's so that I can cook off them!! Im sure that this will be sorted by the company who fitted it for me so is a small problem, I would still buy a kenwood anyday!! Another good point is that this CD player can be linked to a steering wheel control for most cars, which although costly, is very useful and I just wouldnt go without. Definately a good choice to finish of my 206.
