It does everything I wanted great radio. I use it more with my iPhone works great and you can even use a portable jump drivr with music on it.

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.

This stereo is pretty cool. Very good EQ choices. Tons of colors to choose from. The ipod connectivity is a little slow, and switching from head unit to ipod mode could be faster. Easy install. The HD radio is awesome. Plenty of stations to choose from. There are no preset buttons but presets are easy to use. Comes with a cute little remote, as my girlfriend stats. My whole family uses it, so the user interface it easy. Over all this is a great stereo, good for its price. I would totally recommend.

After spending a couple weeks doing research on HD radio receivers (with it BUILT-IN, not “capable”) at retail stores like Best Buy and online, I bit the bullet on this unit through Amazon. The unit shipped fast, and there were instructions to install (it also comes with everything necessary but the wire harness), as well as a 1 year warranty.
I bought this unit because it was the cheapest unit with all the features I wanted (HD Radio & USB), and also because I love the colors and way that radio presets are handled — instead of there only being 6 buttons along the bottom so that each band can only have 6 presets like most other receivers, this unit just has an up and down arrow which you cycle through for each FM band, and has up to 18 presets for each — and I use that amount! Also, the unit can auto-detect usb/aux inputs which is cool.
While I love many features of this unit, I do have a few issues…first of all, don’t be sucked into all this “capable” BS. Bluetooth capable, etc means you need to purchase a $60-80 add-on; it is cheaper (and less of a hassle) to just buy a unit with bluetooth built in. Secondly, the way usb is handled is sort of…terrible. The navigation is just flat out awful (and I’m a computer scientist; I’m supposed to be good at this stuff!) and after reading the manual just realized it is easier to simply use the usb port as a charger, and then use the aux input to play audio so that I can control everything from my device (a blackberry). Sad, but it really is much simpler…Lastly, the remote is pretty basic and unneeded; still, I am not a fan of remotes for car stereos, so maybe I am just biased.
All in all, I recommend this unit, especially because of its low price.

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.
