What's great about it: EVERTHING!!!
What's not so great: That it wasn't available YEARS AGO!!!
This is the absolute best hands-free cell phone system I've ever had. The whole speaker system on my auto stereo is the reciever for my phone. I bought one for my car an instantly fell in love with it. Eventually, I'll buy one for my little pickup as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy install. Ergonomics are great.
Strange as it sounds I've got one of these wired up to a set of desktop speakers that makes it act like a bluetooth pairing device for my phones and laptop. I was happy that it all worked but it's even cooler that the various buttons function perfectly to BT spec and can control iTunes when paired with the computer including play/pause and next/previous (works with the phones the same way). The microphone is built into it and pairs perfectly as well. I agree with a previous review that the cable coming out the botton is 'odd' but it is what it is. My only complaint is that (like most bluetooth audio devices) there is a bit of a signal quality degradation.
The thing has three wires out the back (plus the 1/8" stereo wire) the black for ground, Blue for +12V and the brown for mute. I guess the mute is what's JVC specific but at least for my complete hack of a use I just ignored the brown and am treating this thing like a bluetooth --> 1/8" stereo adaptor cable (of sorts).
Anyway - great product - easy pairing (just hold the middle button down and 0000 if your device needs a code) - and slick controls.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Handles music and phone calls beautifully!
What's not so great: The only thing I dont like about it is the cord that comes out of the lower end of the unit instead of the back..
I installed this device on a car stereo in my RV. I use a Blackberry phone and play music from an both my phone and ipod touch and they both work flawlessly with this device. I have other FM bluetooth transceivers in my other vehicles and there is no comparison to being hardwired.
I would have liked to have been able to hide the cord better and it seems like it would have been designed to allow a true flush mount with the cord behind. I would have given it 5 stars if it could be installed cleaner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Features for the price.
I love this stereo. Great sound and full of features that all work great. Controls take some getting used to. Not impressed with HD radio HD2 reception. Even 20 miles from Chicago, where regular stations come in good, HD drops so often it's irretating to listen to.
Not the stereo's fault. The regular HD1 stations come in good and the sound quality is better than FM.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Sound quality
What's not so great: Difficult if using more than 1 phone
Better than I expected. I needed to have Geek Squad install. Sound is good to overcome road noise. Tricky if you want to use more than one phone via Bluetooth (keeps calling last number dialed).
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Small, yet very effective!
What's not so great: You have to manually wire in BACK of stereo.
I decided to get my car's CD player changed out since it was going out on me. I had decided to get a JVC CD Deck and this item was listed as a "compatible accessory" to make/take calls, stream Bluetooth audio, etc. My first impression was "Wow.. this tiny booger will be interesting..." but boy was I wrong! This little sucker picks up my voice even when I'm driving in a noisy environment! Callers still know I"m on "on my phone" but said they had NO issues hearing me at all and calls came through crystal clear from my Verizon iPhone 4. I effortlessly streamed Pandora, iTunes, and other music streaming with no issues and excellent quality. I HIGHLY recommend! Don't let this tiny thing deceive you into thinking it's "cheap." It really works! I attached the relavant product of the CD player I actually used this with!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Flawless operation, easy to use
What's not so great: Nothing
This adapter only works with specific JVC car stereos, but if you've got one of those, it works great. I keep all of my music on my Bluetooth-enabled phone, and all I have to do to start listening to music is sit down in my car and press the play button.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Works
What's not so great: limeted connection types
This is an upgrade for a failed KS-BTA200. This works really well with my EVO 4G. Does what a BT should. It controls Pandora, google music, ect... My only complaint is that when the old BT adaptor worked, it gave me the options of connecting to BT phone, and BT audio separately. This is both or none. I liked the option of listening to the radio, having GPS audio from phone speaker, and BT for phone calls. But it is not a big matter.
I would recommend this to a friend!
