This CD-deck is straightforward to install and easy to use. The built-in amp is sufficient for most standard car stereo speakers. I installed this unit in my Grand Cherokee to replace the antiquated stock unit.

What's great about it: Sound, Good Price, Fits my vehicle
What's not so great: Nothing so far
The HD radio does struggle at times with distance but overall the sound is excellent and the HD radio stations in my area are still commercial free ( for now). The only thing is that now I want to upgrade the speakers I have to take advantage of the sound. Initially the display was bright at night since I didn't connect the illumination wire but setting the night display I wanted in the day setting worked. The remote is nice to have when you are driving 65! Be sure to use the original DIN mounting hardware instead of the one that comes with it, otherwise it will start sliding out of the dash when you hit bumps in the road!

What's great about it: Great price, easy to use
This was purchased as a replacement for the system in my primary and high-mileage vehicle. I didn't want to invest an excessive amount of money for a replacement, and this turned out to be perfect. I had the technician at Best Buy do the in-dash installation, and I was extremely pleased with his professionalism and his expediency.

What's great about it: Easy install with minimum tool knowledge
I bought this unit when my factory unit bit the dust. All in all it is a fantastic unit with all the features I was wanting especially the HD radio. Installed myself in little under an hour. My experience choosing what to but was very frustrating seeing as the sales person I dealt with was more interested in his smart phone than he was helping me. And when he did help me it seemed I was more of an annoyance rather than a customer. It crossed my mind to just leave but I didn't. Never had a bad experience at this BB until today though.

What's great about it: Great for the price, relatively easy install
What's not so great: Does not specify everything that is needed for install on the box
I was looking for an HD radio that would not break the bank, and this radio fits the bill. The radio provides good clear sound, and many of the HD stations are commercial free at this time. The display is basic showing song title and artist, which is more than enough for me. I installed the radio myself and it was pretty easy and straight forward. The directions for removing the dashboard in your car are included in the install kit. All that is needed is a set of screw drivers and soldering equipment. If you do the install yourself, remember to purchase an install kit, wire harness, and antenna adapter (usually required for older cars). In total everything cost about $170. It took 2 additional trips to Best Buy because no where on the box did it state the need for a wire harness and antenna adapter. Multiple friends have asked me to install the radio in their car as well now.

What's great about it: Sound quality, ease of use and overall appearance
What's not so great: display is very simple
The JVC head unit reviewed here is a sleek stereo. It has crystal clear HD radio and has the Aux-in, which was an upgrade for me. While the HD radio is clear when you're in range, when you reach the edge of its reach, you begin to get an echo effect as you switch between HD and stereo, which is only an issue in that specific situation. The CD and Radio text feature works well, but the screen is rather rudimentary, especially compared to my older JVC would allowed for graphics.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: display colors and the HD radio Option plus Amp hook ups!
What's not so great: Takes some reading to understand how to use every feature
I haven't bought a new stereo in years, so I wanted the most for my money. I did a lot of research since there's a ton of stereos in this price range. This turned out to be a great stereo for the money. I love the HD radio option and the other built in options. I would recommend this radio to a friend. There's some other options I would of liked, but you can't can't go wrong with this for 100 dollars. Not so sure why there's a reset button yet. I hope I never need to use it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
