All new 2011 JVC KD-R520 Receiver
Getting more from an entry level car stereo can sometimes seems like an impossible task. However, the JVC KD-R520 includes the features and system adjustments that you can expect from higher end units. The newest feature to the JVC line of single DIN car stereos is the integration of multiple 3.5mm auxiliary inputs. The KDR520 has a front 3.5mm aux input and a rear aux. The purpose of this is to keep the front auxiliary for portable devices like iPods, MP3 players, smartphones, and other audio players. The rear auxiliary is intended for the JVC KS-BTA100 Bluetooth adapter. Once plugged in and connected, the stereo instantly allows for hands-free talking via Bluetooth. If you don't want to add Bluetooth to the unit, then that rear auxiliary can be used as another source to input music from.
A Easy EQ 3-band equalizer is also built-in to the stereo and features 6 selectable tone curves. Each curve lets you adjust the sound of the music until you find the sound that fits your taste. Or you can adjust it yourself and save a user preset. On the back of the deck are two 2.5 volt preamp outputs that provide clean output to an amplifier when expanding the audio system. For a entry-level car stereo that is anything but basic, consider the JVC KD-R520 for your next car.

Good but not the best
I love the fact that the shipping was fast and that installing this was easy. I'm not so big on the fact that it doesn't have any preset buttons for the radio. It powers my stock speakers really really well, and my subs seem louder than before, the equalizer for this deck is awesome! It was kinda tricky to figure out at first though (didn't read the manual). I would recommend this product to anyone that is looking for a good head unit for cheap but still wants good sound.

fair
Purchased this product to play MP3 audio books.
Pro: Works well for the MP3 feature.
Con: Too many steps to select preset stations. Also, I don't care for the red light display.

worked good
Like the 20 watts rms, most decks only put out 17 or less, seems to sound good, simple with a small amount of buttons on it. good for the price, would recommend. also like how the remote is simple, most other remotes i have had like 100 buttons on it, this one is very simple and actually easier to use than the deck buttons.

GOOD PRICE FOR THE ITEM
If you are looking for a cheap item, but with all the modern hook ups. This is it, but don't expect too much quality.

Good Starter Deck
I installed this deck in my car and it powers my speakers well. I love the look and really enjoy the fact that i can plug my ipod in through usb and controll the music from my ipod. there are a few features that i still havent figured out but ill get them. the red on the deck looks really good and its nice that its not blue like most. i like the deck and would purchase it again.

JKC Kd-R520
The product is a good product for the price, when its working. I have had 2 problems that seem to alternate, for some reason my deck cant retain its bass settings in the pro eq section, however i know im doing it correctly, because it retains its mid and treble settings in pro eq. And secondly, mine has had a faulty connection at the back of the deck, causing me to send it in for repairs.
However for the deck itself it has a decent rms and its simple to use, does not require a rocket scientist.
