Had it installed today and love it. Wasn't expensive yet has lots of options: Bluetooth, removable face, CD player, headphone and plug for iPhone. It even tells the station name, song and artist on the display. Great deal!

Seriously, this is a fantastic radio. Things I love about it:
1. Super easy to pair to my phone and my old ipod touch
2. Automatically reconnects to my phone when I start the car (it leaves the music paused so it doesn't blow your ears out thankfully)
3. HUGE improvement to the sound of my terrible stock radio
4. The display shows the artist/song info even over bluetooth
I haven't bothered with making phone calls, using the USB port, or aux input so I have no info on that. For bluetooth, this radio is totally worth it.

My factory installed CD/stereo stopped ejecting and playing CD's. It was not bluetooth enabled. This JVC Apple / Ipod ready stereo is great. I can answer my cellphone with no more fumbling. The sound is MUCH better than the original stereo that came with the vehicle. The controls are a bit difficult to read, but that is the only negative. Have Best Buy do the installation, it was incredibly quick and easy, and warrantied if future problems arise from the installation.

It took me several months to get this put in, and the only problem I had is the wires on the separate harness had to be crimped to give it power in my older vehicle. Once it was installed my family's phones all could connect and share the pairing to listen to a variety of music on road trips. The sound was excellent and it just works. The remote helps since I can't see the little buttons on the stereo while I'm in the driver's seat. Definitely a good purchase.

I have been impressed with this stereo's quality features for such an affordable price. The tech installed a microphone, so the bluetooth calling feature works through this stereo in my old 2008 car. FM radio shows you the name of the radio station, artist and song title playing for most of the commercial radio stations. iPhone users will enjoy extra features. I have an Android phone.

My after market unit was failing. For example, the radio tuner died. I don't listen to the radio, but others do request radio from time to time, so I was casually looking for a replacement. Finally, deal of the day had this unit at a good price. Because I was happy with other JVC devices, I figured I would give this a shot.
This unit has many options. My old unit had native iStuff hook up, USB, Simm card, sat-ready, etc. 10 years ago. The JVC has this and more.
I like all the flexibility with the JVC, though one has to dig to get to often-used features. With my old unit, sub control was on click away. With the JVC, it is a few clicks and scrolling. My old unit offered three sub xover options (80, 100, 120Hz) whereas the JVC has many more. This was a selling point for me as some tunes are mixed different than others and I want to be able to adjust the sub to complement.
The JVC also has build in 2-way and 3-way xover. While impressive, my only external amp is for the sub. Be warned that even if you use the JVC's internal amp, you still need to set your high and low filters appropriately; otherwise, not all frequencies will go to the appropriate places.
From reading the manual, I guess some of the other JVC units allow one to change the colors but also set a color for time of day. This unit only allows one color and I wish I had the option of red (especially at night for less distraction while driving). I would have paid the extra few dollars had I know - so FYI
I have spent quite a bit of time dialing in a sound I like. I am getting closer, but I will need to read the manual for the finishing touches. It is obvious I have been out of the loop on the latest options/technology with the latest after market stereos.
As my first unit with Bluetooth, I really like it for one main reason. I love my music loud (windows down, tunes rockin'!). I no longer miss a call since the JVC will automagically pause the current song in order to take a call (which I can take, or ignore), then return to where the song after the call ends. This is probably old for others with Bluetooth, but a new feature for me.
My primary source of music is on USB. Sometimes, the unit is slow to read the USB and start playing music. This behavior is sporadic and it could be the USB stick I use (on the cheap end). Unless I missed it, nothing at JVC's website for firmware update yet. Despite this, I continue to be happy with the unit.

Easy install and I do like the bluetooth use with my phone. Able to adjust gain on microphone so caller could hear me well. Easy to adjust settings and illumination. Did not think I would use the remote but works great with not having to look at the radio to change stations, volume, or track.

I have loved JVC products forever, and This CD player with Bluetooth is very much like the one I have in my own vehicle. Great system, easy to use, great price. Bought and installed this one as a gift. Make sure you buy the wiring harness and proper faceplate for easy installation.

I needed to replace the CD/Radio headend in my hot tub. It was a marine radio with no bluetooth or aux in (or audio in behind the radio) and the radio was getting very weak signals. The only thing I was able to use it for was playing CDs. Recently, it kept ejecting the CDs upon inserting them and I would stand there pushing it back in 20 times until it would start playing. I decided to just replace the radio with this unit since it was on sale for $69 that day. It has Bluetooth, USB, Pandora, I Heart Radio and plays CDs with no trouble. After splicing and soldering the connections (since I couldn't find a connector from Auto to Marine) it works great, has great sound and I can pump anything I want through it.
