great budget unit
I bought this looking for a nice double din for a good price. Had it for a few months and my only 2 complaints are slow loading time with cd or usb drive, and no sub off button. I keep my sub at -10, to turn it off when my son is in the car I have to go all the way to -50. Takes a while. Would be nice to just have an off button for it. Other than that its awesome. Video playback is great, sound quality and sound adjustment is great, and the touchscreen works good majority of the time. Also the detachable face is great for security!

EXACTLY what I was looking for.
The JVC KW-AV50 was an awesome choice & I'm glad I chose so. I mean seriously though; if you're looking around & you're not sure whether you want this one or not just stop, & buy the damn thing. The screen is removable, which to me is a HUGE plus. The main reason why I looked at the screen in the first place. The quality of the music is great, it has a full blown customizable equalizer with dedicated settings that YOU control, it has inputs for a reverse camera, the touch screen never messes up, there's a yellow video, red/white audio input to run your game consoles into the back of it (xbox, ps3, I WOULDN'T SUGGEST A WII lol) & even when you put in a DVD to watch it plays WHILE you're driving. I'm PRETTY sure I hooked everything up right, but right out of the box you're able to watch DVD WHILE. . . . .you're driving. Great for road trips, if you want to impress your friends with music videos on the way to club, or maybe just your kids. My ONE gripe is that when you put your vehicle into reverse the camera doesn't AUTOMATICALLY show up. Tiinnnyyyyyy gripe though. I mean it only takes two buttons to bring it up. It's not like I have to go through an entire menu to get there, but yeah. The automatic-"ness" of switching to the reverse camera WOULD HAVE BEEN SWEET.

don't get this get JVC kw-av58
This unit is not compatible with iPhone without addon cables, no blue tooth streaming without addon, no nav without addon. This unit will nickel and dime you to death. Get JVC KW-av58 it's more but you won't have a headache afterwards.

Solid Headunit
Don't listen to that one star rating. That person obviously doesn't read the description. Interface is sleek and uncluttered. Tons of custom features that allow you to pick any color you want for the display. You can snapshot a picture from a movie and use it as your background. Great equalizer controls...almost too much to handle, but very much useful if you know what you are doing. 4v preamp!! 20Watts RMS!! IDK if it's the tuner, or my antenna, but radio stations come in pretty weak. I bought the steering wheel adapter and it works pretty good. A bad thing about this HU is that their is a slight delay.

dissapointed
I bought 2 of these. The unit has pretty much every feature that a prson could want...especially at the price point. But issues like the others have mentioned make it not so sweet of a deal. (Wiring error messages caused me to have to reset the unit aftera couple weeks...then once every few days. I wouldn't reccommend this at all.
