KENWOOD Traffic User Reviews

Top reviews

No app support

Unable to get any traffic updates since INRIX went off line. Who is the new service provider?

Connection

Many times loose connection with server
Customer service impossible to reach

Absolutely appalling app

Having to sign in every time, and after driving has started, is both ridiculous as well as downright dangerous. Where are the updates for this? I wish I had never purchased this sat nav. Avoid like the plague.

Stupid thing

Doesn’t work at all!!

Create Account Error

Whether you try and create an account or log in with an existing one it doesn’t work. Connects to the head unit after asking for permission every time but provides nothing

Needs fixing asap

I bought an expensive head unit and I have to use this app to get live traffic.

Just about every time I get in the car it asks me to log on. It won’t stay logged in but there is no option to say remember me.

I see it’s got appalling reviews and has not been updated in a long time.

Given the units that this is for are expensive (over £1100) Kenwood need to sort this out.

Simply doesn’t work

Doesn’t work, can’t create account. Kenwood UK, KENWOOD EU nor Garmin are interested in resolving the issue of having a £1000+ Sat nav that can’t get live traffic. Appalling.

After SIX years still works like crap

I updated the app and the store says latest update is 1.5.5 but my phone says 1.5.4 and it’s still crappy. I cannot believe that a company like Kenwood would use an app as bad as this and never make it usable. It’s constantly asking me to create an account and it’ll connect and then all of a sudden disconnect. This has never worked properly since I bought my car back in 2017 Shame on them, I will never put a KENWOOD radio in a car again.

I use with Apple Maps or Google maps instead since this one is useless

Does not work Kenwood doesn't give a rip

Despite setting this app up, having my phone connect to the Kenwood head, and configuring the Garmin nav in the Kenwood head, this app has NEVER provided any traffic info or anything else in the Garmin navigation on the Kenwood. Of course the Garmin system on the Kenwood lets the radio down in as much as its like using Windows 95 on a present day Mac, but that's another issue entirely.
Oh and the Inrix app also randomly makes me re-login to my account and I dutifully do it hoping to see something appear in the Garmin maps, but of course nothing ever shows up.
This app along with the Garmin nav UI and the fact that you cannot update the Garmin nav maps without permanetly leaving an SD card slot in the radio (instead of using the card for say, MUSIC), and now the radio not working reliably when starting the engine makes me regret buying Kenwood and should have bought a cheap Chinese head. At least I wouldn't be out so much money when that failed.
