Cool H/U

This is a powerhouse of a radio which is not just a radio but media center would make any A/V system complete with style and I do recommend this to anyone looking for H/U this one has all and I do mean all you'll need and will look good doing it.

Amazing Value!!

I recently installed this in my 2004 Subaru Forester XT. I swapped out a factory 6 disk in dash for this. The install was straight forward. I haven't used all the features yet, so here is what I know: The tuner is a standard tuner, you get radio. The DVD player is awesome! Screen quality is great and the unit powers my stock speakers very well. It almost feels like you're in the middle of the movie you're watching. My Ipod (30G Video) plugged right in to the USB port and sounded great, but I can only control it through the deck. It displays song info on screen and you can navigate through Album, Artist, Genre, etc like on the Ipod, but it takes forever. It's faster to unplug the Ipod, change artists, and plug it back in; but just skipping songs works fine. You could just use the audio in (headphone to rca) plug if you want to get around that. All other navigation is quick. You can adjust the color to match you car. The backgrounds are limited, but I'm either watching the road or a movie so it's not a big deal. The proximity sensor is cool and works well. Taking the screen off is tricky untill you do it a few times but is really easy afterward. In Summary: For somebody who doesn't have a 5,000 watt stereo system and just wants to add a little style to you ride, this is the unit. My buddy has a super fancy $1000+ unit and was very impressed with this. Just looking at it when it's off really changes the look of the interior. I highly recommend it. I'd buy the exact same unit for my other vehicle when the time comes.

great deck better then kenwood, i think

I purchased this deck a while ago, but it's a good deck for audiofiles. but not for people who like all the blinking lights and crap. this deck has really great specs, and pretty much only dvd deck with such good quality at this price range. this a really good buy and recommend over kenwood anytime.

Total Satisfaction

i swapped out the Clarion VRX785BT in favor of this unit.

There are only 2 "not so good" (i wouldn't say bad,) things about this unit.
1) bluetooth needs the separate adapter
2) 10 sec. load times (ONLY when switching between sources)

EVERYTHING else is perfect!!!!!!

I can guarantee that you won't regret adding this to your system if you have a double din space.

JVC KW-AVX810 in a 2005 Ford F150

Just installed this head unit in my truck. Love it!!! Got it on SE on eBay. Super deal!!!

The scosche dash kit SE sent takes a bit of fine tuning to make work in the stock dash opening, but easily remedied with a bit of creativity. SE sent a scosche wiring kit for an audiophile truck, but it works fine in non audiophile trucks.

This HU does protrude from the dash a bit and looks fine that way, but with the slotted design of the dash kit it can be easily adjusted back to fit better.

This HU is a gem! I currently have it hooked up to the stock speakers and they are now officially alive! I am currently in the process of upgrading my entire sound stage in the truck from stock, and this HU is the kingpin to the system. With 5 volts of pre-amp output my amps will get clean and clear signal. I can't wait until I am finished with my upgrade, it will look and sound even better!!!

This HU gets 5 stars!!!

BTW, if you're looking to bypass the parking brake switch on this HU, just hook the light green parking brake switch wire with the ground wire.

Great touch screen

The service was great with a complimentary upgrade due to back order issues. This deck it totally awesome electronics. MP3 feature is great....no more tons of CD's.

Great

I'v had this for about 6 months now. And have not had one problem. Screen is clear and made my stock speakers sound as clear as can be.

great value for lots of features!

i've had this in my 04 altima for about a year now and it's nice. agree with the other reviews before me. things to add=
-direct ipod control is slow(more songs, more delays). the same with the sd slot and usb. but what deck doesn't delay on any of these sources? i control my ipod touch from itself and it satisfies just enough.
+it has multiple screen colors, to match your dash illumination!
-wish the button lighting had other colors like the screen colors.
+love the auto dimness feature when headlights are turned on!
+while night driving, the screen can be shut off while there's continuous music playback!
definitely worth it for all the features and quality!

Great unit

For the price and features, it's hard to pass on this head unit. Pros: 5v amp output, easy to navigate, works well with add-ons. I've owned mine for almost a year. I can't see switching units anytime soon.

Great buy!

For this deck id give it 7 out of 10. The features it has are great, you can play just about anything you want with it and it sounds great, the 7 band equalizer is a nice feature and the built in high pass filter is great. the only real problems i have had are the loading times are sometimes unbearably slow, and the interface is just plain boring. theres only 5 backgrounds to choose from and they're all just about the same. This is a great all around in dash, its not super fancy and flashy, it has great sound, but not the best, but it gets the job done and its probably the best deal you'll find on an in dash around $400

Great Product

I have had this product about 2 weeks now and it is really easy to use. Its menu is so obvious even a cavemen can learn how to use it in a minute. It has so many sources to choose from, even a SD Card!! I would definitely recommend this product to any person who is looking for a durable and high quality In-Dash.

EXCELLENT DVD Player

I have had this dvd player installed in my car for about 3 weeks now. Its amazing. The DivX codecs make it easy to just download some music videos from youtube, put them on your thumb drive or hard drive and your good to go. Im through with CDs. Plus whenever i go anywhere that might be prone to thieves i just take off the screen and take it with me. Great dvd player for the cost.
