Love everything about it. So nice to be able to receive hands-free phone calls. The changing colors are so awesome. Like that it shows the name of the radio station as well as the name of the artist and the name of the song. Thanks for such a wondeful product with so many great features. Recommending to friends and family.

Wanted a nice CD player to put in an older car but didn’t want to spend a lot... seen this and wasn’t sure but decided to make the purchase and I am so glad I did! Love it! Tons of color options. It tells the station name and what song is playing. Has aux port, and USB port up front, the USB port also works as a phone charger. Fantastic buy for the money, I think you’ll like it!

Yeah, I know Best Buy would have done it for free, but I decided I wanted to do it myself after watching a few videos online.
I went ahead and ordered the trim kit and wiring harness from another supplier but bought the radio from Best Buy.
It really couldnt have been any easier.
15 minutes to take it out and 20 to put the new one back in...
But the hour in between was snaking the microphone wire around from just above the rearview, down the pillar and under the dash to the radio, but I got it done.
The fully customizable EQ, car type and speaker size settings are such an improvement in the music quality in the car even using the existing factory speakers.
The bluetooth connection to my iPhone is great when making or recieving calls (you can adjust the gain on mic for call quality and loudness and knoek down ambient noise and echo with those settings).
Bluetooth playback of music on my phone, Pandora, etc sound just as if not even more fantastic.
The only thing I wish it did for me that it does not, is notify me with sound when I get a text on my iPhone, but my workaround for that works for me.
I leave the phone in my belt holster to feel the vibrations and I set my vibration to the long SOS pattern for those I want to consider answering thru handsfree bluetooth. Then I can ask siri thru the radio voice control to read my text.
So especially at this price point, its a near perfect addition to my old 2005 Corolla

They installed this into my machine and I could not believe what a difference it is to have modern technology in my old car that was once ahead of the curve in technology. The radio, the cd player, the controls, the sound, and ease of use was great. Technicians were great. After a couple of days of using it, it was like I always had the radio. The controls had more directions than I needed...they were very descriptive but for folks like me that like to push buttons and see what happens....this is the radio to have! I am thinking about getting this same radio for my wife so she talk on the phone without having to reach for her phone.

This radio sounds great. The blue tooth works great as well. It has decent features for the money. I put it in one daughter's car and now the other one wants one as well. I recommend it if you want a real decent inexpensive radio. I paid $80.

I purchased this radio to go into my 1991 Toyota Celica. It fit in the original radio spot perfectly. It looks like it was always there. The blue tooth works sufficiently even though it is an older car which is great. There are lots of sound options for bass, treble, etc. The USB port and AUX also works great, you can also charge your phone. You are also able to play music through an MP3 player. It has the ability to use satellite radio. You can also change the color of the radio screen if you choose to. Mic quality is good for phone use. The buttons are a little small and to change stations you have to hold the button instead of an easy tap which is hard to do when you are driving. The buttons should be much larger. If you have large hands this may be an issue. Stations need to be preset beforehand to make operation easier. Overall, it does what I need it to do.

I really use the Bluetooth capability a lot to listen to Spotify, Pandora, Amazon, YouTube, and Google Maps. It displays some information on what you are playing.
Sounds great. It still has good old radio and CD Player just in case.
Best Buy had a free install special when I bought it which sealed the deal.

This thing has 1234,76,786 options. I mean come on. Still you can pick any color at any brightness for two or three parts of the radio face, and for day and night settings. Really, must it look like a Vegas casino. Yes! If you want it to. The sound options are equally stereo lab. When I got it it sounded like transistor radio circa 1961. Now it sounds like Anna Netrebko is singing next to you. (She does a wild Brittany Spears.) Bluetooth works perfectly. Some options need two or three readings of the 356 page manual to figure out, but once you do and take the JVC final exam, it’s easy to work. It’s really a nifty receiver. Best Buy installed it in my 1993 pick up. It took Super Geek 18 minutes. Is that cool or what?

Upgraded my Jeep 2003 Grand Cherokee with this unit. Bluetooth works great, sound filters to my speakers just fine, have had zero issues, and like that multiple devices can connect so different people in my new can shuffle songs. The interface is easy to use and the multicolor display keeps aesthetics fresh. Highly recommend!

We purchased this for a 1987 Mercedes 560SL. The old Becker Grand Prix radio no longer worked. This was a perfect replacement. We set the colors to Blue/White to match the interior of the old Mercedes. The unit also has a Bluetooth feature to pair with your cell phone. It shows the addresses of your contact list and allows you to speak hands free using the included microphone which the installer attached just below the key. The radio tunes in the stations well with easy setting of the preset stations. You can also connect your streaming music from your phone via Bluetooth or auxiliary input. The installer at Tinley Park, IL is an excellent automotive radio installer. Overall, Best Buy at Tinley Park, IL did a great job installing this radio and bringing the old 560SL into a more modern radio entertainment mode.

Love the Blue Tooth connection for Pandora. The FM band receiver tunes low strength signals (such as broadcast at a drag race track) very well. Easy to use and powerful sound at an affordable price.
