This thing has more features than I’ll ever use. It’s expandable to work with bluetooth, HD radio, Satellite radio… I’ll never use that stuff. Being able to fine-tune the colors and illumination is great. I burn MP3 CDs for this, and it reads them very well. The face is shiny and pleasing to the eye. The buttons are solid and responsive… not flimsy or clumsy at all. It puts out a decent amount of power for my 6 1/2″ speakers. What I really like is the EQ. It comes with the typical presets – Rock, Pop, Jazz, Classical, Hip Hop… but it gives you the ability create your own. You can adjust the bass, mid, and hi levels, response, and even Q curve (look it up). Not necessarily as great as a 12-band pre-amp EQ, but pretty darn useful. This is a high quality unit.

Great price for the sound quality, but changing radio stations and programing your preferences is kind of a nightmare. This radio is really set-up time heavy and I wouldn’t recommend it for someone looking for an easy “install and enjoy” head unit.

The 14 year old JVC that had been installed in my last three cars would no longer read CD-R’s, but other than that still works perfectly. I also have a 16 year old JVC installed in my wife’s car that still works fine. With reliability like that, JVC was the only brand I looked at for replacement. Hopefully they are still made as well as they used to be.
I really like all the features, especially the ability to match my dash lights and control the brightness of the display. My only real complaint is the volume knob. It’s slippery and hard to grab onto and rotate. All the models above this have ridges on the knob that make it much easier to grip, they should have done that with this one as well.

Easy to install, attractive display, and great features. If you’re looking for an easily programmable stereo, you might want a different stereo, but I am very pleased with it. I really like the fact that you can change the display colors. There are about 30 to choose from and you can store up to 18 different radio stations. I love it.
