Built-In Bluetooth JVC Receiver

JVC’s KD-R800 is an In-Dash CD/MP3/WMA Receiver with Dual USB Inputs. The front and rear USB ports allow you to have full control with the latest iPods and iPhones, giving you even more playback options. Built-in Bluetooth technology supports hands-free calling, audio streaming, voice recognition dialing, text message display and much more. Variable color illumination, full dot LCD display, contrast control, and a switchable dimmer provide an easy-to-read menu display. MP3 ID3 Tag Display will illustrate the Title, Artist, and Album when playing an MP3 device. This JVC Player is equipped with a built-in HS-IVi Tuner with 18 FM presets and 6 AM presets, 3-band iEQ with preset tone curves, and a 24-Bit Digital-to-Analog Converter which all enhance sound quality.

Expandability options are not limited when it comes to this excellent player. First, HD Radio provides you with a digital radio signal for a high-definition, high-quality radio signal that is almost as perfect as CD music. Sirius or XM Satellite radio can be added on using the optional adapters. This will give you access to many different radio stations such as Martha Stewart and Howard Stern with a clear, crisp broadcast. The front panel auxiliary input allows portable media devices such as DVD player, gaming systems, and MP3 player to be connected. CD changer controls and full compatibility with your steering wheel controls are some other convenient options for this JVC Receiver.

Ive used this unit over a year now. I just have to contribute the fact that the usb 2.0 port on the front, will charge a cellular phone if your phone cable is the usb charging type. So I imagine it would do the same for an Ipod. The rear cable port didn't seem to do the same in my case. I truly give this product a complete 5 star rating only because its easy to use, has all the features I could ever want. I can hook a video monitor to it for sound as long as it has bluetooth the unit will pick it up.

Nicely priced radio. Great display choices, excellent sound.

Bluetooth works very poorly with Blackberry Curve. Won't hang up call.
Sound quality on phone is not very good (poor or no noise cancelling).

Don't buy for the Bluetooth with a Curve
