I have a 1995 Buick (real sharp, eh? But no monthly payments!) and the tape deck died. I also have a huge collection of cassette tapes, so I wanted a unit that would play them as well as CDs. My...
I purchased this JVC unit in November 2008. Istallation required a wiring harness that was not supplied for my vehicle so had to spend another $15.00 which was not really a big deal. As far as...
It exceeded my expectations, light was a little bright at night but then i found you can turn it off if you want. Good sound quality if you use good speakers, the ipod hook up worked for more than...
my oder was not completed for that dual XDM6820 AM MISSING THE MOUNTING SLEEVE i tried to contact the manifactor but it was useless it did not get no comferm reply
Cons: The light on my stereo stopped working so I can't see track numbers, radio stations or the time. The ipod connection is outside the unit so its kind of bulky (I had one before from best buy...
This unit is exellent for the money. The only downsides are one, the display does not show all info from ipod at once. Two, navigation through ipod is cumbersome and will take a lot of getting...
I ordered this radio to replace the factory head unit in my wife's 4Runner. I have bought several car systems from Crutchfield in the past, and hoped this experience would be similar to those, easy...
I've had one of these in my 2003 Altima for about 18 months now. Haven't used it with any external attachments. Typically have used it to play MP3 files off a USB flash drive. In that regard,...
After 5 months of flawless operation, the digital display went out on this unit. All knobs were lit and the radio played, but the center display showed nothing ... no station, no peak levels, no...
This is a nice looking, user friendly unit that sounds good too. The installation in a Frontier pick up is a piece of cake, especially with the Master sheet provided by Crutchfield. Just note that...
High hopes were in the air. I replaced an older alpine cda-9845 from the 90's. With only the head unit being switched out the sound was supprising! While this head unit has all the bells and...
This is a great looking, powerfull head unit. I love how you can control your ipod from the head-unit itself, you can change the display color-scheme, text font, and text scrolling configuration....
This is a very nice little head unit. Has surprising power (21wX4) that really does produce nice sound. It takes a little time to get used to the controls so you know how to use it, but if you...
Clarion M275 - Problems with sound cutting in and out (Clipping)
I had the same problem with the sound cutting in and out (clipping) at modest volumes. This was caused by my existing power wire being too small of a diameter. I ran a heavy gage wire directly to...
I bought this unit to power 2 marine infinity 6.5's, and two marine infinity 6x9's. At very modest volumes, the speakers would start clipping because they were not receiving the power they needed....
Great value for a good radio. The radio has some good features: aux. input jack, HD radio tuner built in, easy navigation and the price is fair considering you get all the installation gear for...
I've been pretty happy with the new Dual. This is my first HD radio, so I don't have much basis of comparison. However, I get very good reception in the Washington, DC metro area, where we have...
I used this unit to replace an old Becker cassette player in my Mercedes. The unit fit perfectly. I initally had a problem with low volume and static in the speakers until I figured out that...
I would have given it 5 stars but nothing is really that great so a 4 will do. Overall, the installation and quality of the system is great. I'm still a 'tape' guy but am in the midst of recording...
This receiver doesn't sound nearly as good as my factory 01 Silverado receiver did. The HD radio is nice as is the bluetooth, but the bluetooth doesn't always automatically switch back to the...
I got this to replace a factory radio in my wife's Ford Five-Hundred company car to gain an AUX port. I got the dual because of the price, features, and HD-Radio was a bonus. The HD was a nice...
I bought this item on "Manager's Special" at Best Buy for $40, which seemed like a great deal at the time to replace my old In-Dash CD Player which had a burned out display and was fairly dated. I...
(97 Ford F-150) I had a Double din jvc in this truck installed by pros back in 1997 they had to do some cutting to make it fit I installed the new single din jvc myself with a metra install kit,...
This is a great sounding CD/MP3 player, and much better than my factory system. It fit right into my 95 Legacy, without any dash kit. I bought the system because it had CD/MP3 playback and a...
DO NOT BUY JVC. They have the worst coustomer service. They damaged my radio after it needed minor repairs. Now it needs major repairs. They said i did it. I didn't. This radio only had about 2...
Within 6 months of installation, over half of the lights illuminating the buttons went out leaving me to search for the buttons at night time. Why go for the buttons when I have a remote, you ask?...
Good but you can't keep the display as you want it it keeps reverting to the standard face and you need to hit a button to see what time it is other than that it does everything i wanted it to.
its not worth the price there are other products out there that arent as expensive that are much more interactive. this one is kinda dull looking and the features arent that great. overall the...
Not bad system other than, doesn't show name of tracks or artist on store brought CD,and only has that one blue DVD Screen Saver (Power Acoustik blue screeen of death shown in picture)_
I purchased this unit because I was advised that the FM tuner was better than the one on the JVC KW-XG700. While it was easy to install in my 2004 Frontier pick up and it looked nice, the FM...
The first car stereo that I truely hated the sound of was the stock cd receiver in my Ford Focus. After quite alot of research, I selected this double din Kenwood unit and I really like it. It...
Some buyer's remorse. The good stuff, sounds and looks better then the factory installed Shaker 500. Some great features (USB), easy to install, easy to operate. The display is lousy. For a double...
Works with and CHARGES Iphone 3G, excellent in general
If you are like me, you may have an Iphone 3G and may be wondering if this deck will have you suffering the fate many have suffered: getting the dreaded "incompatible" warning on your Iphone....
This would be a great radio if it had conventional buttons & knobs to control the unit. As it is, simple operations such as setting the clock or station presets becomes a nightmare.
The stereo works great, however it took several readings of the manual to understand basic functions. It was not written in a way that a non technical person could read and perform the functions...
I'm not a sophisticated audioph00l, so I can't make any detailed, "subtle, but unassuming," type nebulosities about the bouquet of the sound quality. I will point out that it was a cinch to install...
This receiver has a very disappointing Bluetooth telephone connection. People on the other end of the line cannot understand the conversation clearly. It is not possible to have a reasonable...
I've really enjoyed this stereo. It makes life very easy, jump in the car and the phone is connected to the stereo. I don't have to worry about recharging any batteries or connecting any wires to...
I installed this in a Honda Odyssey 2004. Replaced the stock cd player. No difference in perfomance from stock radio. But now I can use MP3. Bluetooth is good for listening in on conference...
For 2008, Sony makes a minor update to its entry-level Bluetooth-equipped car stereo. The MEX-BT2600 retains many of the positive features that we liked in the MEX-BT2500 , including Bluetooth...
Rich, brilliant CD and radio audio, but a few fatal flaws
I have tested four car receivers that are currently on the market: two Duals (including this one), a Sony with their add-on HD unit, and a JVC with built in HD. If you are looking for the best...
