DO NOT BUY JVC. They have the wost coustomer service ever.They broke my car radio after it needed minor repair. It came back scratched up they broke the usb port & said to bad we didn’t do it. They did I only used this radio for about 2 months. It now looks 15 years old.

First and for most, if you have a 2000 or newer car, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING! I had someone install mine who has installed at least 10 others (all on older cars). When we went to get the stuff needed to “make a clean connection”, we found out that on newer model cars, you need a $130 adapter. He said that on newer cars, the computer of the car is run through the radio and if you do not get this adapter, many serious problems will occur (such as not being able to go past 2nd gear). This would happen with any new deck. So before you buy a new deck for your car, check with an installer to see if you need one.
However, the deck is still totally worth it. MP3 player (Creative model) works and sounds great, USB charges my phone and MP3 player, and it looks great. The remote is rather small, but it has a hole on the end that is perfect to attach to your keys (or what I did was attach it to one of those retractable clips and connected it to my shifter). Any ways, love it, love it, love it.

Had the stereo a whole day and a half. A few hours after writing this I was awaken by a police officer telling me my car had been broken into. So, if buy this stereo, be sure you have a good car alarm. Now I lost over $500 worth of stuff and even more in car repair…

The JVC receiver does the right job, the USB input shines here, fast files reading compared to CD, AUX-IN useful for portable devices. Support various audio format with very good sound quality and many tuning features, compared to other brand the JVC supports the seeking within the audio file as well as pause/resume from the position, yet I found some downsides:
1) Doesn’t support MP3 with lower sample rate such as 11kHz
2) Playing WAV file from CD is not supported
3) Accessories like blue-tooth and ipod adapters are not included with the receiver

I was so looking forward to this unit. I bought it primarily because of the price and it did everything I wanted it to do (I thought). I’ve had it in my car for about 3 weeks and I wish I never bought the darn thing. Here’s my biggest complaints.
1) It is not user-friendly. I’m a pretty tech-savvy guy but it took a long time to figure out the nuances to this machine.
2) Is not compatible with steering column controls
3) Even with the JVC iPod adapter, the unit does not show the artist name (oddly it shows the song name and album but not the artist)
4) If I want to play just my U2 files, I have to scroll for about 3 minutes through all the musical artists arranged in alphabetical order
5) Even with the JVC satellite radio adapter, I have major issues with lengthy “loading” and the unit will sometimes just stop recognized the satellite feed (and I have to turn off/on the entire unit)
Overall, I would not recommmend this unit. Spend the extra money and get a high end unit that can display a bigger menu and produce a cleaner sound.

So far so good. 20 minutes to install (bought harness with it).
Sounds good and has seemingly good reception. CDs load and play without issue. Settings seem easy enough to change.
USB is nearly worthless-25 character filename limitation, 128 character tag limit. This means I can’t copy music straight from music folder to a USB thumbdrive-I have to chop the filenames and remove as much of the tagging as possible. This isn’t 1998-I don’t know why JVC can’t simply read long filenames like every other device out there while ignoring the parts of the tag it doesn’t understand. On another note, Data CDs don’t seem to have this limitation.
