Review written by Paul from Harrisburg, PA
The USB is fantastic for using flash drive, ipod, or mp3 player. Flash drive is limited to 350 files per folder but you can have up to 250 folders. A top value for what is on the market now. I have a little trouble remembering some of the menu sequences but that's because I only use this vehicle once or twice a week.

Review written by Dave SD from San Diego
Pros: Looks nice, good iPod interface, adjustable colors.
Cons: Display is too dim, not sure about HD reception. Menus are pretty hard to use.
My main problem is the display is too dim and sunlight makes it very hard to read. I am not pulling in HD channels very well but that might just be my car's antenna.

Review written by Greg from Mn
Sonic had this in stock and shipped it quickly. This is basically the same stereo as the JVC HDR59 Arsenal except the warranty and a few cosmetic differences. This one is cheaper and matched my interior scheme better so I bought it. (the infinite colors help the scheme too)The kit that came with it worked perfectly and the install was pretty easy. I am very impressed with everything and is a big upgrade over my already upgraded Premium stereo from Toyota. Navigation of the controls are somewhat difficult at first but after using it for a while it does not bother me. This thing works great for my iphone and my daughters ipod and charges them both perfectly. You can use the interface of the stereo to navigate or your ipod. You can also hook a flash drive up full of your favorite tunes. The CD player and the built in HD radio top off a great sounding system with plenty of power. Great job JVC!
iPod connection adapter for JVC stereos 2005-up • You can scroll through all your playlists, albums, genres, artists, and composers without having to touch the iPod's controls
I bought a new Nav/radio system for the car. Sonic had the best price going, including some added benefits (install kit, etc.) The folks there were easy to talk to and I didn't wait on hold at all. Item showed up quickly and their tracking emails were very helpful. All around, a Job Well Done!
