Did you read the head unit's user manual? The Acceptable Video files were listed under the Appendix of the user manual. Make sure your files conform to the specification accepted by the head unit.

Did you actually check your converted video files (mp4) actual profile used?

Use MediaInfo to check your video file's actual profile used, as well as the audio format.

For example, I downloaded Taylor Swift's Love Story (Taylor Version) YouTube video using one of those online YouTube downloader to get the mp4 video file. I then analyse the file using MediaInfo.

The result of the analysis was:
CODE
Container and general information
MPEG-4 (Base Media): 102 MiB, 4 min 0 s
Writing application: Lavf58.19.102
1 video stream: AVC
1 audio stream: AAC LC

First video stream
3 411 kb/s, 1920*1080 (16:9), at 29.970 (30000/1001) FPS, AVC (High@L4) (CABAC / 3 Ref Frames)

First audio stream
English, 128 kb/s, 44.1 kHz, 2 channels, AAC LC


Based on the above information, I guess it will not play because it was encoded with High Profile, although it is below 8 Mbps bitrate (3.4 Mbps from the info above). Check Wikipedia entry for H.264/AVC, Profiles section to understand what I mean by High Profile.

Car head units have limited processing power, therefore the limitation to Baseline Profile, Main Profile and Advanced Simple Profile.

https://manual.kenwood.com/files/B5H-0358-32_M_En.pdf

from user manual, says

mpeg4 h264, baseline profile,main profile 1920x1080 30fps 8mbps. audio in mp3/aac

or
advanced simple profile 1920x1080 30fps 8mbps. audio in mp3/aac

you will need handbrake or vlc to convert
better go for the most basic baseline profile, at 480p

trust me.. after a while you will be lazy to convert
its easier to either change to android player that can handle anything,
or get a old phone permanently mirrored to the kenwood to play youtube spotify
