JVC KD-AVX44

Everything you'll ever need

This receiver is totally awesome. It has everything you will ever need. 3.5 LCD. Given it's size, it is extremely sharp at all angles. It has dual zone surround sound, should you add a center channel. I highly recommend this product. The interface stealths itself after your hand leaves it. The face is detachable which is one thing guys with the 7" screens cannot do. Nice for those cold months where the temp can really bung-up your LCD. You won't be disappointed!

Does it all

It has it all and does everything well.

I have never used the center channel and probably never will as well as the DVD-a compatibility although I feel good about having it.

Bluetooth works well but in my situation the caller hears a lot of echo. But this is mostly a combination of vehicle and location of the mic.

I love rear usb inputs and the dongle is long enough to reach anywhere in the front dash but not enough to reach to the rear somewhere.

Navigation is easy and you get decent features such as time delay for all the channels (accept subwoofer) and has simple crossovers. The 7 band EQ is nice and simple to use.

What I don't like is that USB is not 2.0. This thing is slow, a 2GB usb stick or a DVD loaded with mp3's will take about 20secondes to load before the music starts and the playlist is available. When switching sources then you need to wait the 20seconds again before music will start over for any source. If a call comes in, there will be a long pause after the call before the musics starts again. Brining up the play list takes a few seconds, same for entering a folder and choosing a song.

Browsing songs is a pain as it does not support subfolder navigation, large drives are therefore not recommended. All folders and subfolders will display as one looooong flat list. Terrible.

Movie playing is great and easy. The small screen is still surprisingly pleasant to watch and it is gorgeous.

The screen is very bright and easy to read even during the day. It can be dimmed at night.

Video bypass is as easy as grounding the parking brake wire.

Great cd/dvd player iPod connection just a lil slow

review for jvc kd-avx33

i just recently installed this unit in my 99 pontiac grand prix GT. i have aftermarket highs, mids, and subs in the trunk. i always thought my system sounded great but when i installed this head unit in i noticed a more clearer sound. im amazed at it. though it will take you a minute to figure out how to use it. The bluetooth is great too. i can hear the other person clear as can be and they can hear me too just as if i was talking directly on the phone. The only draw back is that when installing this unit cause of the size you have to do some pushing and pulling and moving of wires to get it to fit. I would definitly recommend this unit to anyone.

Awesome

Everyone loves this product. Everyone at b*** b** loves this product, but the thing is, your gonna pay 200 dollars more for this then you would here! Well worth that money you spend here!

GOTTA GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This product works very well in any compatible vehicle and looks great at night. The 7 band equalizer is very accurate and provides all the volumes of frequency you prefer especially if u have an idea of what it does.

The voltage level on this unit is awesome and provides sufficient power to your amp. I currently have three JL Audio 10's(900 total watts) with an 820 watt Power Acoustik power series amp on the subs and it wakes the block and cleans your ears with pure hard-hitting bass!!!!

If you're the type of person who wants exclusive, mind-blowing car audio accessories that no one else has on the streets then you've come to the right place. The unit is not bulky, it's detachable and it attracts the same attention from the girls as it would any 6-7inch screen.

Great buy for a low price which no one else can beat. Trust me on this one!!!

Solid, Beautiful, and Affordable Head Unit!

JVC really hit home for me on this one: excellent product design without the bulky, motorized 7'' facade as a screen...for that reason, it's also a bit safer and a lot more affordable! Minimalistic button and faceplate design really take this headunit away from the more commonly known "busy" head units.
As for complaints with MP3 playback, sure it may be a little slow- but really any CD player with MP3 playback will ALWAYS have a delay, and more often than not will not allow one to fast foward and start song from previous ending point. MP3's are files that the system has to read and decrypt as an audio signal, rather than reading it straight from an audio signal, such as on a normal CD or CD-R.
The remote control is not bad, and actually allows one to use a nice amount the features in the head unit. As for the graphical user interface, I don't find it confusing- no more confusing than an iPod or something similar...sure there may be a couple embeded preferences here and there, but it really isn't THAT painful to sort through menu's for the 3 seconds that it takes to tweak the EQ settings...which by the way is VERY nice having a SEVEN BAND EQ. Also, the integration of Sirius satelite radio (when purchasing the adapter box sold seperately, with plan) is very nice. Sure, not a lot of people have the use of displaying JPEGs on the screen...but the fact that one can do that is pretty damn cool anyway...why not FIND a use for that- I sure have! (my secret...)
This is a head unit that most everyone should take for a test drive! Sonic Electronix has one of the best deals on the net for them too! B*** B** could never beat that!

Very nice

Very awsome head unit, screen had very good quality and a very wide viewing angle. This site has a very good deal on this head unit too. I would totally vote for this unit. Very easy to install and easy to work with. I havent had any problems with it yet, but i doubt i will.

NOT BAD

I think that is a Great Buy here not at the 599 price it is everywhere else. I has great basic features, wonderfull sound quality. Extras are something that is really lacking for example the backrounds are really less than desirable and the interface can be confusing. The dvd looks great and sounds good. The remote is a little slow but its not bad. Also when changing between sources is generally quick, but when a DVD is in it can lag somewhat. Taking the face off is simple enuff. So for those of you ballin on a budget such as my self then this is a great pick. If you can spend a few more hundred and buy a 7inch flip....Peace

This stereo is a mind blower. I love the way it has front and rear outputs plus its own sub output. The extra video in/outputs come in very handy. It lacks in some feature areas I like in other stereos but is simple to program. I installed it in my 94 X-Cab C1500 and although my kids can see the picture when a movie is playing the screen is a bit small (plans for a 12" flipdown are in the works). Overall I am satisfied with it.
