Great review, exactly what I was looking for to provide a comprehensive overview on features. Thank you. 🙂

Been trying to research Kenwood, JVC or Pioneer for ages. Your reviews are exactly what I’ve been needing. Well done Damon!

Hi team. Flipping a coin between the 7522S and the Pioneer 5450BT. Looks like the Kenwood had the edge with software, and the additional phone connected simultaneously via Bluetooth. Is there a real reason to buy one over the other? Thanks!

What did you end up with ? And your feedback on that ?

Is it worth the dab over the other here in Australia?
