Great upgrade, i have a 05 suburban with the rear video system, yes you will lose the rear audio without a specific plugin that best buy doesnt sell, but there is a work around that cost me way less than the harness its self. Installing it was super easy, (no i didnt get the pac or the maestro harness) i had gotten the cheapo harness from walmart that allowed me to keep my steering wheel controls and it worked perfectly. As for the work around i took an rca cable and ran it through the inside panels to the rear dvd aux, i can now play dvds for the kids and listen to my jams haha, i also grounded out the parking brake sensor cable because reasons, i know super safe while driving but i have android auto running so its fine... bluetooth works great, android auto is awesome, you will need the app to work it.
Only bad thing is i keep reaching for the knob the old stereo had...
Took me about 2-3 hours to install it

Fit perfectly with no issues and the sound quality even on Bluetooth is flawless. I couldn’t have picked a better head unit to replace my older Kenwood. Would recommend to anyone and the price was great too.

We bought a used 12 lincoln navigator and the stereo in it was just outdated. The navigation system was clunky and hard to use, and the bluetooth wasn't the best quality. We upgraded to this stereo and the calls are perfectly clear, the apple carplay works perfectly. We are so happy.
Jason, our tech did an amazing job of installing it for us and showing us how it all worked before we left. I could not be happier with this purchase.

Replaced a stock radio on my Tahoe. Has all the features I wanted.
Installed it myself, with the purchase of the PAC harness and dash kit. Install was about an hour, retained all my steering wheel controls. Absolutely love the fact that this is totally hands free calling and text. GPS runs through the phone but does reflect on the unit. Great radio for the price.

I really wanted JVC kw-950 but Best Buy only has the kw850 model. I’m happy with it overall, it fit my Lexus sc430 nicely with a silver panel. Geek squad tech Ashlee was great and recommended that I purchased an add on to keep some of the OEM features and especially the Navigation screen. I’m very happy with the unit and the installation process!

Great upgrade from my 2011 Camaro's stock radio. The only "wish" I had was volume control when using Android Auto. When using the radio you simply make circles on the touchscreen to increase (clockwise) or decrease (counterclockwise) the volume. In Android Auto mode, you have to use the tiny volume up/down buttons. Other than that, everything is great. Matched with Kicker CS Series speakers all around.

JVC My 1 St I like all the things but if you have it on GPS I did not find a way to play the radio. I find it a bit hard to use and I did not have Boynton install it it take two weeks so went to an other store grate install fast and clean but did not spend any time on how too use it. Day I boat it getting help is just bad like if you are at Walmart I did get the rune a round had to get a MGR to get me help never can get help at this store and I spend $$$. This time I was sold all the parts for the install.

Android auto was awesome but it stopped working a few days ago due to my battery being trained and adding steering wheel button converter for the head unit I'm assuming because those are the last things I did before it stopped working but before that is great

Keeps on losing sound out of nowhere, I’d have to turn it off and turn it back on just to get the sound back!

I am very satisfied with this receiver. It has excellent sound quality. This took the place of my old stereo, external bluetooth, and external backup camera. Three components now all in one system. Bluetooth sounds great and camera is clear. Bought this on early Black Friday sale so it was a great price, but it is worth every bit the full price. I highly recommend this receiver.

I was using the previous model of this receiver in my truck for 2-3 years and the touch screen started to go out in certain spots. I decided to get this one and I installed it with ease using the same connector and microphone that my other one used. This one is awesome so far, seems to be more user friendly and has more to offer. I highly recommend this for navigation use with an iPhone. It has a plethora of sound tweaks you can do, sub level control with xover, xover's for front and rear speakers as well. It has every feature and the touch screen works beautifully!

This is my 3rd head unit purchase in the last 12 months and each a different brand. This JVC unit is my favorite thus far. I was mainly looking for something with Apple Carplay and Android Auto and was hoping the sound was comparitable with my stock Audiophile unit. This sounds just as good if not better with the many audio tuning features this unit has. Can't beat the features at this price point. As you may gather, I highly recommend this product.

Installation was easy. Sound is great and much louder than the factor Jeep Wrangler radio. I was able to keep all the steering wheel controls and even added a back up cam. I am still learning a lot of the sound/EQ abilities. It also displays some of the mechanical functions, tire pressure,etc. I wish I would have got it sooner.
