JVC KDHDR30, I like it

Great replacement radio. Despite some negative comments posted, I wanted to try HD radio and this unit seemed an inexpensive entry point. I found lots of interesting HD stations in my area, doubling my local options. Another nice feature of the JVC radio is a front auxillary input where I've plugged in my iPod. JVC has a dedicated iPod option and Blue Tooth input available for extra cost, I bought neither. The sound quality of the stations and this radio is excellent. After two weeks of use, I've nothing to complain about.

Good unit

I bought this to replace a crappy unit I got at Target (VR3 Roadmaster). I wanted the HD and Aux in and this unit was a name brand and it was inexpensive. I have had no problems it and love the HD radio. I doubled the number of radio stations I can listen too. I can ever plug my non-ipod mp3 player into it.

Great!

This is a great receiver. Hands down. I have had no problems with it. The HD does cut out every once in a while, but its because i live in an area that has many hills and trees. But its nothing to worry about. Dont buy the jvc ipod thing. Just buy the 3.5 aux chord and plug it into your ipod, that is if you dont mind the wire, i dont. And that guy that rated it a 1 star is an idiot. He probably broke it himself. Great price. I'm happy. I'm gonna buy one for my dad because its a great player. If you live in the Seattle area its a steal because there are so many HD stations including some AM.

Perfect Harmony

This works in perfect harmony with a JVC KD-HDR1 receiver that has HD radio. The functions are simple, the sound quality is great and I have had no issues even though I installed it myself in the trunk of Mustang convertible.

Affordable and Excellent Features

I have JVC radios in my 3 cars. I really like their layout, displays and features, the buttons are not too small, they are large enough that they work for us, and you can turn the clock off if you want - our Corolla has a separate clock display, so we don't need it on the radio. The display is nice and colorful. I replaced a JVC analog stereo with the HDR30 in my wife's 2006 Toyota Corolla because I was looking for an HD Radio that also had the front Aux input to connect my GPS for road trips. The SD card on the GPS will play up to 1000 songs, so we really don't use the CD to play MP3s anymore. I have the KD-HDR1 in another car and really like the HD Radio and features. I researched other comparably priced HD Radios from Dual and others, but did not see the features I wanted, and (as another reviewer mentioned) something sticking out of the front of the radio in a USB slot is just waiting to get broken. I really like the JVC HDR-series automatically scrolling the song information without  more

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.

If you want a nice door stop, this is for you

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
