Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had the unit installed for about 2 weeks now. Over all it's great. This is my first of this type of head unit.
A bit tricky at first to navigate around, and I would say if you're not that "electronically inclined" then it will take a lot of reading of the manual. I'm one that likes to figure things out for myself.
The only issue I have that still needs to be addressed is the Blue Tooth. I can hear everyone fine, it dials fine, connects fine, but no one can hear me. I think the issue is with the mic itself.
The touch screen works great and seems pretty accurate in its response to where you touch. The "blackout screen" feature is awesome and a nice touch. All you do is bring your hand close like you're going to adjust the volume and it comes right back on. This is an adjustable feature.
The built in EQ is also a nice feature with customizable "user settings" for different types of music.
Going from Source to Source is very easy to change with either a touch of the button or touch the screen and choose from the Source menu.
I also have the JVC steering wheel control adaptor that is great. It allows me to use my factory installed head unit controls on my steering wheel for Volume, power, source, etc...
I also added the HD radio. So far it's pretty cool and I'm still finding stations that I like. The sound is amazing for radio.
I also have the iPhone cable so I can use the video feature on my iPhone. But this is not a necessity because the unit does come with a USB 2.0 cable interface and will control an iPod with no problem. I love this feature. I use to have my iPod hooked up via an aux input but this is so much better being able to tuck away the iPod in the glove box and be able to control the iPod and see what playing with the album art showing. The interface control are OK, but when you want to scroll through artist or song titles, you don't have the letters A-Z listed next to the scroll bar, so you have to guess. That would be an easy thing for JVC to add.
The DVD feature works great too. Pretty easy to use and sounds great. Eventually I'll be adding the headrest screens so the kid can watch movies on a road trip it's an easy thing to add. The unit has standard RCA outs to make it easy to install. Just needs to be removed.
I love the fact that the unit has the removable face. This is uncommon for touch screen units. A big plus and probably why I bought the JVC over the Pioneer.
I also look forward to adding the XM satellite radio to this as well.
Again, overall a great unit with a lot of potential "add-ons" and very easy to learn and use for the person that knows this stuff or someone that doesn't mind reading a manual.
Make sure to shop around. Most store and on-line retailers sell the base unit for around $650.0, but I got mine for $540.00with free shipping and not tax. It allowed me to buy additional add-on that I got from various on-line retailers. I literally got everything from the head unit to the installation parts from 5 different stores on-line. But it saved me hundreds of dollars shopping around for everything. It was very much worth it.
