If you have been thinking of upgrading your sound system but haven’t had enough time to research all of the options that are out there, you can stop looking because the JVC KW-AVX810 is just the right head unit for you! It is a Double DIN In-Dash receiver with DVD, DivX, JPEG, CD and MP3 Playback and a full 7" touchscreen monitor. You will never have to worry about converting your DVD’s or DivX files again. You can enjoy music and movies from a variety of different options and still have enough space for more. Not only do you have a great selection of playback features to choose from, the 7-band parametric equalizer will enhance all your sounds with amazing customization.
This car stereo offers numerous expandability options for adding different formats of music. The list includes a front SD Card slot to view pictures and a rear USB Input to play music. Did I mention you can control everything with the touchscreen? No more fumbling around with a remote control with buttons that are too small to see while driving. Not only are there multiple options for playback, there are also ways to expand your head unit to get the most out of it. Bluetooth, HD, Sirius and XM, and iPod are just a few of the possibilities that can be added to the JVC KW-AVX810. The list doesn’t end there. You can even add a steering wheel remote control adapter to the unit and control all your favorite features with the buttons on your steering wheel.
The 7” TFT Active Matrix, 16:9 Widescreen monitor has adjustable viewing angles and is very responsive when switching tracks, playlists and radio stations. The wallpaper colors on the screen can even be changed to 7 different colors. The LCD screen serves as a video monitor, system information display and control panel for your music and movies. If the screen needs to be adjusted, you can use the brightness, contrast, color and tint to help you achieve your goal for an optimum picture. The touchscreen is unique because instead of pressing the arrows to move to the next selection you can slide your finger from the left to the right to change tracks. It’s not every day that you see a double DIN receiver that has proximity sensors. The proximity sensors allow the screen to be dimmed when not in use, but when your hand approaches the screen the menu will then display. If the unit has been idle for an extended period of time, the unit will hide the menu unless a video or other media is being played. And don’t be nervous about leaving your new head unit in your vehicle, the faceplate actually detaches so you can take it with you wherever you go with the included case.

For this deck id give it 7 out of 10. The features it has are great, you can play just about anything you want with it and it sounds great, the 7 band equalizer is a nice feature and the built in high pass filter is great. the only real problems i have had are the loading times are sometimes unbearably slow, and the interface is just plain boring. theres only 5 backgrounds to choose from and they're all just about the same. This is a great all around in dash, its not super fancy and flashy, it has great sound, but not the best, but it gets the job done and its probably the best deal you'll find on an in dash around $400

Review written by Adam from Billings, MT
I recently installed this in my 2004 Subaru Forester XT. I swapped out a factory 6 disk in dash for this. The install was straight forward. I haven't used all the features yet, so here is what I know: The tuner is a standard tuner, you get radio. The DVD player is awesome! Screen quality is great and the unit powers my stock speakers very well. It almost feels like you're in the middle of the movie you're watching. My Ipod (30G Video) plugged right in to the USB port and sounded great, but I can only control it through the deck. It displays song info on screen and you can navigate through Album, Artist, Genre, etc like on the Ipod, but it takes forever. It's faster to unplug the Ipod, change artists, and plug it back in; but just skipping songs works fine. You could just use the audio in (headphone to rca) plug if you want to get around that. All other navigation is quick. You can adjust the color to match you car. The backgrounds are limited, but I'm either watching the road or a movie so it's not a big deal. The proximity sensor is cool and works well. Taking the screen off is tricky untill you do it a few times but is really easy afterward. In Summary: For somebody who doesn't have a 5,000 watt stereo system and just wants to add a little style to you ride, this is the unit. My buddy has a super fancy $1000+ unit and was very impressed with this. Just looking at it when it's off really changes the look of the interior. I highly recommend it. I'd buy the exact same unit for my other vehicle when the time comes.

I purchased this deck a while ago, but it's a good deck for audiofiles. but not for people who like all the blinking lights and crap. this deck has really great specs, and pretty much only dvd deck with such good quality at this price range. this a really good buy and recommend over kenwood anytime.

I'v had this for about 6 months now. And have not had one problem. Screen is clear and made my stock speakers sound as clear as can be.

Sonic Electronix customer support was phenomenal. They went as far as answering questions I had about equipment on other websites and gave me all of the info I needed to be fully knowledgeable when I finally made my purchase. I bought a decent stereo at an unbeatable price. Thanks a thousand times!
