I bought this car stereo because I have always trusted the quality of JVC products and I also purchased the iPod adapter, which I ran to the glove box. This is a great unit, easy to install, wonderful sound and radio reception and easy to use. You can run your iPod to the front jack or buy the adapter like I did. The adapter charges the iPod as well; however, the controls are transferred to the unit. Once you figure out how to navigate the iPod on the unit's face it is quite easy to use. The remote eve works to control the iPod. This is the best value for the money with built-in HD radio and input jack and the ability to hook up an iPod adapter or a Blue Tooth adapter. I love it.

Mine broke in three months. Starting making a loud clicking noise every time I access or eject a CD. My choices from JVC? Pull it out, at MY expense, drive it an hour, at MY expense to the nearest authorized repair shop, then drive back to pick it up and reinstall it again, at MY EXPENSE, or, Ship it to them, at MY expense and wait for the mail.
Well, I chose the former. The idiot at the local repair shop in Haverhill, MA tells me it's fixed a week later. I drive up there, install it, and guess what? NOT FIXED. SAME problem. It seems the genius claims he couldn't reproduce the problem, and rather than call me to make sure he knew what he was looking for, he just performed an "alignment" on it. So, out again it goes, and this time the clowns ship it to JVC. FIVE WEEKS later I am STILL waiting for it. After calls, e-mails, letters, they tell me they have FINALLY come to the conclusion to replace it, rather than fix it (DOH!) and will ship it back to me. They even told me they were going to overnight it. Well, guess what they do. They ship it Ground, so it'll now take an additional 8 days. I will NEVER buy another JVC piece of junk again. 1st of all, what car stereo breaks in 3 months??? And then they top it off with the WORST customer service I have EVER experienced. No wonder both JVC AND their repair center both have negative BBB ratings and JVC is in the toilet. Has to try and team up with Kenwood just to stay afloat. Good Riddance. But another brand people, don't bet burned.
As for the radio, yes, the features are nice, and the sound isn't bad (when it works) but the display is quite possibly the WORST you'll find in a car stereo that meant to be driven in the day time. You can NOT see it in the glare, and there's also no way to display the time AND the track info at the same time. Boy am I disappointed.
How did I live without this?!May 24, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been interested in HD radio for about a year and a half now. Over that time, I had installed two external HD radio tuners in my car. The first was Visteon HD Jump directly connected to my AUX in line through a JVC KD-SX75 head unit. When I sold that car, I bought and had the JVC KT-HDP1 installed in my new car, connected to the cars' head unit by an FM transmitter. After using these, I wanted to get a head unit with an HD Radio tuner built in, as well as having an input for an MP3 player.
I wish I had found this product much earlier than I did. This unit is ready for what I currently have, as well as ready for and will control iPods, XM and/or Sirius satellite radio, Bluetooth, and a JVC CD changer through the head unit out of the box, though you'd have to buy those products separately.
HD Radio on this is a great feature. In addition to AM and FM signals sounding better because of HD Radio, most stations display the track titles and artists of the songs (it's helped me find several songs to buy). Some stations also broadcast "sub-channels" of additional content. One problem here is that when there is a sub channel available, there is no indication of it. The only way to know it is there is to press the up or down buttons on the dial.
The CD drive is able to read MP3/WMA CDs (provided they aren't protected music files) which allows you to put about 12 CDs onto 1 CD. One complaint of mine is that you can't browse folders on the CD, going from one folder to another plays the first song of the folder. I must say the factory stereo of my new car spoiled me on this.
The AUX input on the front was a great addition to this product. I have my MP3 player attached to it, and it sounds good!
I brought this into Circuit City and had it installed by them, and am very happy with their installation. I'm not comfortable getting into the car to do this myself.
