Excellent!!

Ordered my cd player and was impressed with the delivery speed. Had a problem with my installation and the service tech I call ed was way above expectations. Great company and product!!!!!

Worked perfectly

I just finished installing the JVC KD-540 in my wife's 96 Toyota Camry. At first I was concerned about the wiring harnesses matching up. To be sure I took the extra time to verify the speakers matched the wiring harness provided. This turned out to be a needless task. The wiring matched up perfectly. All you need to do is match the wire colors and splice them together( which I did with a wire crimper ). I replaced a stock am/fm radio with a separate CD player. Everything fit perfectly and was easier than I thought it would be. Shipping was fast and free. Thanks guys.

OK

Unit sounds good, but, like all other similar products it is almost impossible to figure out how to operate the overly complicated controls if you only use it occasionally. Display too hard to see in bright light, (like all other electronics made today, cellphones, cameras etc)

Good stereo for a great price

Deck was easy to install. Took a few minutes to get set up, set up menu is alittle weird but once I got used to it I breezed right through it. Overall I am happy with it in my truck.
