Full Featured and Quality Made without the Price

I bought this car stereo because I have always trusted the quality of JVC products and I also purchased the iPod adapter, which I ran to the glove box. This is a great unit, easy to install, wonderful sound and radio reception and easy to use. You can run your iPod to the front jack or buy the adapter like I did. The adapter charges the iPod as well; however, the controls are transferred to the unit. Once you figure out how to navigate the iPod on the unit's face it is quite easy to use. The remote eve works to control the iPod. This is the best value for the money with built-in HD radio and input jack and the ability to hook up an iPod adapter or a Blue Tooth adapter. I love it.

Mine broke in three months. Starting making a loud clicking noise every time I access or eject a CD. My choices from JVC? Pull it out, at MY expense, drive it an hour, at MY expense to the nearest authorized repair shop, then drive back to pick it up and reinstall it again, at MY EXPENSE, or, Ship it to them, at MY expense and wait for the mail.

Well, I chose the former. The idiot at the local repair shop in Haverhill, MA tells me it's fixed a week later. I drive up there, install it, and guess what? NOT FIXED. SAME problem. It seems the genius claims he couldn't reproduce the problem, and rather than call me to make sure he knew what he was looking for, he just performed an "alignment" on it. So, out again it goes, and this time the clowns ship it to JVC. FIVE WEEKS later I am STILL waiting for it. After calls, e-mails, letters, they tell me they have FINALLY come to the conclusion to replace it, rather than fix it (DOH!) and will ship it back to me. They even told me they were going  more

How did I live without this?!

I've been interested in HD radio for about a year and a half now. Over that time, I had installed two external HD radio tuners in my car. The first was Visteon HD Jump directly connected to my AUX in line through a JVC KD-SX75 head unit. When I sold that car, I bought and had the JVC KT-HDP1 installed in my new car, connected to the cars' head unit by an FM transmitter. After using these, I wanted to get a head unit with an HD Radio tuner built in, as well as having an input for an MP3 player.

I wish I had found this product much earlier than I did. This unit is ready for what I currently have, as well as ready for and will control iPods, XM and/or Sirius satellite radio, Bluetooth, and a JVC CD changer through the head unit out of the box, though you'd have to buy those products separately.

HD Radio on this is a great feature. In addition to AM and FM signals sounding better because of HD Radio, most stations display the track titles and artists of the songs (it's helped me find several  more
