I wanted an economical unit that had a lot of features. This unit has two USB inputs (front and rear), aux input, bluetooth adapter included, microphone, cd, also this is satellite and HD ready. The total was $219.95 (free shipping and no sales tax) from Crutchfield. Crutchfield also included free USB bluetooth headset, install kit, wire harnesses and master cheat sheets.
Install was pretty simple, just takes patience to match up the wiring. I also like the pocket under the unit.
I have the JVC KWXG 700 and like it pretty well, BUT, if you get XM in it the JVC XMD1000 adapter you will need is garbage! It sometimes drops signal and then takes 5 or more minutes to "load"...Anyway, love the radio itself but I'm thinking of going with a different brand just because of the XM issue.
How is the Bluetooth pairing? Sound quality good when paired to your music device(phone/mp3 or whatever you have)? I cant decide if I want to go double din or not...
i returned this jvc unit because the bluetooth pairing worked sporadically with my cell phone. sometimes i had to turn the hu off and on. other times i had to pull out the adapter and plug it back it in, but that then required a re-pairing.
now i have the clarion cx609 with built-in bluetooth and it works great.
Bummer the JVC Arsenal KDA805 didn't work out. I liked how the the head units orange display matched the Frontiers dash lights. Glad you found something that worked out better for you in the long run.
looks better without that space that the single din causes! you listen to music paired with your cell phone or just take your calls? need to get rid of that fat stack of cds in my truck! lol i have all of the music that's on those cds on my iphone...
I have been reading quite a bit of posts throughout the Audio/Video section of the forum. I am looking to possibly change out my 2017 SV radio with a Pioneer Double Din if I can retain all of my factory options (Antenna, XM, USB, AUX In, Steering Wheel Controls, BlueTooth, and Back Up Camera)...
Hey everyone, I just purchased a 2017 4 door, what are some good sealed boxes that will fit? Also, would dual 10”be too much for such a confined box? or would 1 be better? I’m looking for a lot of boom so I’d prefer dual 10” if anyone has experience and knows they sound good, what are some good...
On my new 2011, I noticed when I hit the brakes, the reverse lights go on. I think it might have to do with the wiring harness, but have not dug into yet. Has anyone seen this issue? I asked the dealer I just bought the truck from and said for xxx dollars, they could figure it out even though...
I'm curious if I upgrade my OEM (non-fosgate) radio with an amp + sub, whether i need to run wires?
or if they are wired / plugged / harnessed like the fog lights and trailer switches?
So I'm a bit spoiled from my last ride. I had (still do) to 12s sustaining just over 700watts just for them through a dedicated amp. Not crazy competition numbers but WAY more than enough to rattle the windows on my kia soul. I've got a crew cab but also have to toddlers so the old "fold up the...
