Awesome radio fit great on my Ford Explorer great interface works perfect with my iPhone

Was apprehensive about having an aftermarket radio installed but I like it so far!

WORTH THE RIGHT AMOUNT!!!! WILL BUY ANOTHER FOR MY OTHER CAR

I liked it my brother in law likes it now. ..........

I have this deck for over 2 years no problems at all.

Great car stereo. Clean layout. Very responsive. Android Auto is the best.

Very pleased with performance and installation. Looks like OEM equipment.

Words can't describe how great of a product it is, very satisfied

The absolute best stereo very happy with my purchase

Had to take radio back for service. Could not turn volume up or down on stering wheel. Bad module. Since repair radio works great. Fingers crossed. Geek repair Tom is Great

The display intensity doesn't automatically adjust to ambient light giving too much glare and difficult to see. Except this drawback everything is good

Had to return it cause was a faulty unit but looks nice.

I actually had uninstalled the next day. It was very unnatural looking. Which was one of my two requirements. That it looked like it came in the vehicle. The second was that it worked with my steering wheel controls. It didn’t do that either.

After install the radio kept shutting off... After new radio and reinstall the radio kept shutting off... Realize if Bluetooth is connected and phone is plugged into radio radio would shut off... Radio is slow to connect to phone, operations take a while to switch... Backup camera lines are missing now, stopped working out of the blue.. I have been to Best Buy several times trying to get this fixed... getting a new radio next time... hopefully my problems will be fixed with a be radio!

Great to finally have Apple Car Play however the voice over for maps is super loud. No way to turn it down. Have contacted Apple, JVC and Best Buy Tech who installed. No solution!

Hi there! It’s been about a month since i got the stereo. The stereo screen gets frozen and and it’s unoperable until you turn it of and back on!

The stereo worked good for a couple months. Then it kept going in and out. The screen had a glitch

Ive had this head unit for just under 2 years Android Auto had ceased to work. BB--who did the install--says its a compatibility issue with newer phone versions of AA, and that JVC hasnt updated their firmware. Regardless..I'm unable to use use this rather spendy unit as advertised and am more than slightly annoyed.

Was skeptical about buying this unit since there was no reviews. However, I have been blown away at the features and sound quality of this JVC stereo. Replaced my stock 2014 F150 stereo with high end speakers and made a great improvement. However, it wasn't till I got this unit did I realize how great the speakers could sound. The features are great and the unit looks OEM. Would highly recommend.

I bought this receiver for a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder S and had it installed by the "Geek Squad." This is a "base" vehicle without factory Bluetooth, back-up camera, or navigation. I matched the reciever with the Sirius plug-in receiver and a Pioneer back-up camera. The installation was excellent, with no unexpected exposed wires. Everything works as advertised, including both CarPLay and Android Auto. The Bluetooth quality is excellent, on par with factory systems. Reception of both FM and Sirius is also excellent (I installed the Sirius antenna on the roof rather than inside the car, running the antenna wire inside via the top seam of the hatchback). Here are a few observations, though none were so serious as to reduce my recommendation: 1. The resistive touchscreen works well. The only lagging seems to be on very small touch icons. 2. The menus are busy and require switching among screens for such functions as changing from FM to Sirius. Using the touchscreen to change channels is not as easy as hard-wired buttons for pre-sets, but that is the trade-off of a touch screen device, 3. The steering wheel buttons work the same as with the factory radio, but you will have to purchase and install the Metra module for the interface to those buttons. 4. The screen is a bit "washed out"--noticeable with the rear camera and the maps. I could not figure out how to improve this with the video controls. This probably is also less of a problem in other cars. The Pathfinder's radio bay is low on the center stack, making the screen position lower down than is desirable. Many other cars will not share this problem. 5. Pandora and Spotify are available on the receiver menu and are accessed via the Bluetooth phone connection. 6. Carplay and Android Audio have identical functionality and mainly differ on the menu layout. Carplay has a more elegant and functional menu. However, the only added functionality provided by either is access to maps and navigation (either through Apple or Google maps). The interface is audio (rather than a keypad search) and works well with both. Due to the reduced visibility of the maps, the audio directions are the best mode of accessing directions. The audio directions appropriately interrupt whatever music is playing (like a factory navigation unit would). The external GPS antenna (mounted at the front of the dash is excellent). 7. It is unfortunate that the 2 USB ports are not mounted on the front of the unit, which would be much cleaner. Instead, they are separate cables running into the glovebox or a dash cubby. The USB ports are necessary for CarPlay and Android Auto (separate port for each) . They are powered, so can be used for charging phones even if you don't use Carplay. 8. Be prepared for installation costs. You will need to purchase a dash kit (remarkably inexpensive through Metra) and wiring harnesses. If you so choose, you also have to purchase the Sirius unit, backup camera, and steering wheel interface. Each has a separate installation charge. Watch for BestBuy to package basic installation with the price of the receiver. If you choose not to purchase the camera, Sirius, or steering wheel interface, the cost of parts and installation will only be about $100 (above the basic installation charge, which will be free in a package). Expect the total cost (including installation) of the camera to be $220. steering wheel interface $110, and Sirius $75-$100 (watch for sales and Sirius incentives). Total cost of everything, including all add-ons and installation, will be about $1000. Of course, you will save a lot by installing it yourself, but I was impressed by the quality of the Geek Squad work. Overall, this seems a good value if you desire to add a back-up camera, Bluetooth, navigation, and Sirius (or some of these) to your car. JVC has done a good job of integrating Carplay and Android Auto, which substantially improve the value of the unit.
