JVC’s implementation of iPod connectivity and iPod content browsing leaves much to be desired. When plugging an iPod into this deck via USB cable, be prepared to wait for 18 seconds doing nothing while the deck says “Receiving”. When scrolling thru album and song titles, there is a noticable lag as each title is retrieved and displayed. I purchased this deck, found out how poorly it behaved with my iPod, and ended up replacing it with a Sony, which starts playing iPod content almost immediately after connecting it.
You can’t beat this product for the price.
The FM quality is very good, very clear.
I can pick up stations that I was unable to receive before (too weak of a signal–maybe my other head unit was going bad?).
The HD is very cool; crystal clear and a wider stereo effect.
Downside to HD is that it drops out when signal is weak.
4GB usb thumbdrive worked flawlessly.
The overall sound is very good, in my opinion.
I have the option to upgrade to bluetooth and sat radio as well.
I am very satisfied.
On the downside, I find the menu and buttons cumbersome.
Some of the buttons are too small, the menus are not intuitive, etc.
The remote is VERY basic.
Still, I am very satisfied.
I give it a 5 because of the price and options.
iWhat/iWho who cares , you can plug a storage drive into the usb port giving you a jukebox selection, and its got hd tuner built in. these features aren’t available on any other unit in this price range. Providing good speakers it has great lifelike sound and the 7 band EQ make this an awsome stereo.Its only problem is no rear rca out, my solution was to use the front rca and swap my front and rear speaker wires. It works instantly with genaric SD card and reader.
I didnt have any slow loading issues with my 80 gig ipod classic or my 32 gig iphone 3gs. Music navigation took a second to get used to but the interface is intuitive and fast. I have never really been a fan of the JVC brand name but so far this is a pretty solid car stereo and functions just the way I need it to with my ipod/iphone.
