Great Radio

This radio is awesome and easy to install.. and for the price, nothing better.

Great radio for the price

All the necessary functions. Easy to install if you buy the appropriate dash kit and wiring harness. Great equalizer system!

Great stereo

I would definitely recommend this product. This stereo took me about 15 minutes to install.

great

Everything was as described, works great, fast shipping, the price was right for a great product.

Fantastic

Man, this audio system is great. Better than the price!!!! I'm buying another one for my son's car. I tell everyone about SONIC!!!!!

JVC KD-R530

Love this HU! Replaced the Delco HU in my '97 Pontiac Sunfire, much clearer sound, and loud!

Easy to install, great for the price.

Nice cheap replacement for my stock radio. Front panel inputs are great for playing movies (from movie player).

Great product!

Very satisfied, No problems for six months now. Its still going strong. Would have orderd again.

Awesome buy

This stereo will make your system sound amazing, it has all the features you can think of and is very stylish, I would very much recommend this product!

jvc kd-r530

Great deck for the money, clean crisp sound, woke up my stock door speakers in my 2002 f250 7.3l diesel. Hooks right up to my phone and plays just as good as a cd. Bottom line I would recommend this to a friend.

Great head unit, even better deal

Just got this in the mail yesterday, looking at the wires on the stock harness and the ones on the free universal harness was confusing at first. I was seriously about to call Worst Buy and have them install it for me. Got a call from the tech at Sonic Electronix and he walked me through what I needed to do which was waaaaaaaaaaaay simpler than what I thought. Had it installed and running in less than 30 min. Great Sound, I love the ipod integration, the customizable colors are cool. Great all around value and experience. I'll be recommending Sonic to all my friends for sure.

amazing!!

This improved the stock system sooooo much! On the old deck i would normally listen to music on 3/4 volume, with this its like 2/8 volume, its amazing how much louder it is. Plus it has all the cool features like the color adaptability so you can match it to the color of your interior lights/gauges/etc. This overall is an awesome stereo!! I thought it was ok since it was on the cheep side, but it totally blew me away at how it performed.

awsome product

love the sound quality and was easy to install.
well worth the money and was a plus to also receive the mounting supplies along with the stereo at no charge. one thing I really enjoy was the ability to change the colors of the buttons and have them cycle through lots of different colors.

only draw back was not having an easy button for changing the bass lower or higher, you have to go into all the settings to lower bass for certain preset, not just in general.

Only 2 Left , Hurry Up!

This thing is most likely the best headunit you can find under 100 bucks. I got it for 70 something and let me tell you it is worth every penny. More sound tuning than any kenwood unit i tried so far ( kenwood has alot! ) 7 pre-select modes or you can go all custom. Amp gain and tuning for speakers and your subwoofer so you can achieve the best out of your whole system. Really nice and bright colors , even in the daylight you can easily see the colors and the screen. I cant think of any cons to be honest. Works with my android or an ipod if you have one. You can add satellite radio. Many options and never gave me a problem for the last 6 months i owned it. Even saved my speakers by going to safe mode when i wired them wrong. Ease of use gets a 3 because it takes a little getting used to figuring everything out but than ur golden.

great features

Easy to install and use. The fact that you can adjust the frequency and even the Q of the high, mid, and low EQ is very nice. Lows of features like individual source volume and EQ setting that make this great for power users on a budget, but also great for someone who just wants an easy use stereo that sounds great. Put into my wife's Jeep in no time, gonna buy another one for my truck.

Great Deck!

Well I have had this deck for about a month and a half and I love this deck, works great with Ipod (Iphone as well).

Great stereo

Radio has great sound and features for the price. The color changing option is amazing.

Good features, but there is a problem with a hum from RCA outputs

Bought this for my son because it had the capability to be operated from an iPod, but I did not have the time at first to research amps and speakers. When I finally did get around to getting the amp, speakers and sub and installing them, there was a hum in the speakers which got worse with higher engine RPM's. I worked on diagnosing the issue over several weekends, buying ground loop isolators, etc., to see if that cleared up the problem. I finally found a good troubleshooting guide on the 'net, and worked through the process. A friend had an extra CD player, and when we swapped out the JVC, the hum went away. I just determined that this weekend, and have not had a chance to take it to a JVC authorized repair shop (nothing local). Until we determined what the problem was, my son was ready to live with the problem because he liked the iPod feature, and he was also able to listen to online books from his iPod. Note: the product also the capability to play music from a USB stick. Except for the hum, the product seems to be a good purchase.

Great entry level head unit!

This was a Christmas gift for my fiance, she didn't need a bunch of bells and whistles.

What I like about this head unit is:
1. Ipod/mp3/phone hookup both USB(ipod) & 3.5mm pin jack anything with a headphone jack.

2. the ability to adjust the color of the display. Sounds like a trivial thing but if you've got a pontiac (red)or other make that uses colored dash lights this helps make it look like it belongs with the car.

3. this was a breeze to install thanks to sonicelectronix! I put it in Christmas Eve @ midnight took about 15 minutes, I had already pre-wired the wiring harness to the Axxess unit for her car.

I give this 5 stars across the board its got excellent features and the price is outstanding. Durability I'm not sure of but a buddy has been running a JVC for several years with no issues.

JVC KD-R530

This stereo has been perfect for my wife in her 04 silverado. Everything works and sounds as it should and the music is crystal clear. I would definitaly recommend this unit to anyone that wants to upgrade to another unit but are tight on funds like most of us in this economy

Awesome Product !

This was a birthday gift for my son & its been incredible. I truly dont believe that there are any negative things to be said about this product !!!

exactly what i expected

Every since i bought my first JVC chameleon year ago i have been a fan of JVC, not only for the price but for the quality. This head unit was all i needed in a stereo, and then some, BUT i think there is almost to many settings, kind of like a kenwood (one button does to many things). Whenever you want to change something the instruction manual is a must, but it is all i needed. Also just FYI JVC needs to make their remote bigger and harder to lose

Pretty good

Great functions. The Display was hard to see at the angle it is installed in in my wife's 2005 Honda pilot.

Wow.

You get what you pay for surely does not apply to this. Exceeded my expectations in every way! My lady friend asked me to find her a colorful deck with a USB port and this one was one of the cheapest that fit my criteria. I was expecting just the usual basic features but it ended up having more than my kenwood in my car! Very customizable and easy to use. I taught her how to do everything in just a few minutes. As usual, Sonic threw in some free accessories and the free shipping got it to my house in less than two days! Thanks Sonic!
Pros- EVERYTHING
Cons- No baggie for the detachable faceplate
