Buy THIS Over Pioneer DEH-X6600BT!!!

The following review is for a previous version (KD-R950BT).

Cheaper than Pioneer 6600 and yet almost word for word description wise, all technically the same with about same specifications, but prefer JVC's over Pioneer's interface in this case ( BASED ON INSTALLATION AND USING BOTH) for example JVC's bluetooth connected flawlesly and automatically, had oose from issue with pioneer. You can choose from t what seems to be an unlimited amount of colors for your display! Just an overall great headunit for the price. Bluetooth microphone picked up conversation without a problem.

JVC sounds great

The following review is for a previous version (KD-R950BT).

I was hesitant to replace my stock BMX radio in my 2005 X3, however I am grateful I did because the JVC KD-950BT has taken the sound quality to a new dynamic level (and this is with the stock BMW speakers). The multi-color display allowed me to sync my interior lights and the steering wheel control capatibility, made the functional intergration seemless. Very simply to operate and connectivity is easy. The bass, EQ really enhance the sound quality of bluetooth playback.

My only concern is the BIG A** OLD SCHOOL VOLUME CONTROL BUTTON. It takes away from the otherwise futuristic design

other than that, this is a awesome car audio component.

Feaure packed, value priced!

The following review is for a previous version (KD-R840BT).

This HU has so many features to customize your sound, I'm still playing around with it more than a month later! You can listen to tunes via Bluetooth, front/rear usb input, the tuner, Pandora, and even old school cds. Haven't used the cd drive and don't use the tuner much. It's also upgradeable to Sirius XM satellite radio. All this plus customizable illumination for both the display and buttons--what more could you ask for?!

PROS: All the different playback options
Bluetooth playback and seemless Andriod phone setup
3 RCA outputs for separate front or sub amp hookup
Sound tailoring

Cons: Learning curve kind of steep, but pretty intuitive after a couple weeks
The Pro Audio Setting has no section in the user guide, not sure how to tailor the sound, even though its based on personal taste
Programming the tuner presets is a PAIN beyond the first 6 stations - still haven't figured that out yet

Overall, this is a DEFINITE recommend.
