Excellent all-around system

The primary motivation for purchasing this JVC was that handheld cell phones are against the law in many cities; the secondary reason was the ability to have Sirius satellite radio for those long trips. The support of Sonix makes installation straightforward. The only slight downrating is the complexity of the controls for all the features of this unit, and I could not imagine a way to simplify them (but there is a learning curve - be patient).

My favorite stereo ever

First off, I love how on the JVC units you just tap the huge knob to pause the music, and then to top it all off, when you turn the head unit off, it shows you the clock. I've been listening looking for that feature forever. Other than that, its got features galore, they all work, and the remote is intuitive. What more.could you want. I wish I had bought a second one of these instead of the Kenwood I as well. Bit this one sounds a whole lot better than the stock unit out of a 2002 Silverado.

The following review is for KD-R970BTS, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Great sound just awesome cant beat price nice nice stereo.

By Billy on May 24, 2016

Great for many audio sources.

This product was easy to install ourselves. The sound is great and it takes just about every kind of music device

By Traci on May 13, 2016

It's ok buy buyer beware.

This is a solid unit that is well made and very easy to use. This was my first JVC unit. I was previously an Alpine guy but I decided to give this a try. The bluetooth is nice all though I thought the microphone was internal, it's not, it's external. It has a lot of features but there is a common issue this model has which is resetting itself and you have to constantly re-do you settings. There are many reviews of this issue. I returned mine and got the JVC-Arsenal-KD-AR959BS and I am much happier now

Purchased as bday gift for my sister. Upgraded her factory stereo and she loved it

By Daniel on April 10, 2016

Is a great value. Very good people to buy from.

I enjoy doing business with Sonic Electronix. I'd refer to others to shop with them. If this is a review on the production JVC made a good deck but it's very technical makes hard to adjust while driving. I'll be back for more for sure. 10 out of 10 thank you.
