@JESUSAZ123 This model and most others are not recommended as an “Easy Fit” in the 2003 Chevrolet Malibu. The available depth in the factory cavity is too shallow for most aftermarket stereos to fit flush without modifications. Feel free to call for additional assistance: 800.315.0030--Crutchfield
just wondering with the x595 how do you get the colors to sync with your music, also how do you change the color display to what I would want? thanks great product i just couldn't find it in the product manual
@espanolaclass2010 The manual is available as a free .PDF file on the main Crutchfield website. Just type our product number for the stereo (113KDCX595) into the search window on our website. You will find the manual under the "Details" tab in the "What's in the Box" section. This model does not offer color adjustments that synchronize with the music playback. HTH!--Crutchfield
@yamaharider4twizzle Please accept my apologies for the delayed response. Speaker selection will depend greatly on the vehicle. You can see all of the models we recommend for the factory locations by using the “Outfit My Car” section of the Crutchfield website. Once you enter your vehicle information, the website will show you only the models we recommend to fit without significant modifications.

How come my iPod isnt reading through the USB? Should I try and reset the stereo back to factory settings? IF i need to do that then how would i do that?
@allmerican5 Please accept my apologies for the delayed response. I would start by rebooting the iPod itself. This process varies by iPod model. If that does not help you can try resetting the stereo itself. Keep in mind; resetting the stereo returns the unit to the default factory settings which means you will lose any custom adjustments or presets you’ve made. There is a small reset button behind the detachable face next to the face connection contacts. HTH!--Crutchfield
I bought this for $200 ($316 including tax and installation) and I was wondering if this was a good buy. I like the guy who sold it to me and he said that it is a great head unit to build a system off of, being eventually 4 new door speakers and eventually a couple of subs. If it is a good unit to build off of I would greatly appreciate someone with your know how to see if that's true. Thanks!
@sbaeagles15 While all Kenwood stereos are high quality, the “Excelon” models specifically are great for building a complete aftermarket system. They offer versatile equalization, 3 pairs of 4 volt pre-amp outputs, and a 2-year warranty on both parts and labor. Other than buying the unit somewhere else and paying a little too much (it’s currently $169.99 on the Crutchfield website), you’ve made a fine decision.--Crutchfield
@crutchfieldtv i have one of these and neither my usb, aux, or cd ports are not working...luckily my am/fm still does...i have an amp and subs and checked all the wires on the amp. do you think you know whats wrong?
@spartanking8 It’s difficult to say with the provided information. The good news is; the Excelon models are covered by a 2 year warranty on both parts and labor. If you purchased the unit from an authorized retailer, you should be covered. Try calling Kenwood for troubleshooting and potential warranty repair/replacement. HTH!--Crutchfield
@Kingcecil24 You can control the iPod either from the stereo or from the iPod itself, but not both at the same time. This is a menu option that you can set to your desired preference. Feel free to cal for additional assistance: 800.315.0030--Crutchfield
@DunnDem The owner’s manual is available as a free download at the Crutchfield website and from the manufacturer. The illumination color selection is covered on page 28 of the manual. Basically enter the Function setting mode and select “DISP&ILLUMNI” then “Color Select”. You will then find a submenu for preset color options as well as the ability to adjust the RGB values to create your own custom color. HTH!--Crutchfield
@crutchfieldtv Thank you so much for this. I didn't see it in the manual! Thank you so so much. I just purchased this Unit off of you guys. Absolutely wonderful instructions. Crystal clear. Thank you!
I assume you mean an AM/FM tuner, is one built in? Yes, this definitely has a tuner. Despite many people no longer listening to regular old radio, this is still a standard feature of all car stereos.
Will this fit in a 2004 Honda Civic LX?
