Replacement for Kenwood KDC-X895

[DCBarrett]

Hello,

I purchased a Kenwood KDC-X895 back in 2011, along with a KAC-7205 2 channel amp and a Boston Acoustics G112-4 12" subwoofer.

My biggest issue is this unit only offers BT for hands free calling. I want to replace it with a unit that can stream/play music using a BT connection. (I have an Android HTC One M8).

Other considerations:

-Better interface

-Reliable BT connectivity/pairing.

-Option to dim the display

I don't need a NAV system or multi-media/app functionality.

I don't have a brand preference and I'm not too constrained by cost.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/recommendations.

If you get Clarion CZ505 you will be able to take advantage of the high quality AptX Bluetooth chip in your One M8. I recommend also getting the RCB-204 BT external mic as it's a lot better than the mic built into the radio's face.
