JVC KW-R940BTS

I have a 2010 Altima Sedan (no bose) that was very much in need of a head unit and speaker system overall. I have never installed a car stereo system before was I was naturally hesitant about doing this on my own. But after research, I decided to give it a try and purchased the JVC KW-R940BTS stereo along with 2 sets of JVC speakers during a sale. Installation was not difficult thanks to Crutchfield's step-by-step instructions. My only comment would be to just give yourself enough time. I have had this unit installed for 2 weeks now and have been pleasantly surprised at its performance and features. Most other head units at this price point have a lower RMS output, this one is 22 watts (50 peak). It sounds great! I have had no drops in bluetooth connectivity. My only negative is that the FM receiver strength is not as strong as the factory radio was which is not a big issue for me because I do not generally listen to the radio. I prefer to stream music. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a simple upgrade to an outdated system.

Wow, this is by far the best value of aftermarket radio I've seen. All the components attached well. Installation was a breeze. Of course I've been a fan of car audio for a long time and dealt with Crutchfield since 2005. Always been a pleasure. I highly recommend this product. And Crutchfield.

The unit was very easy to install. Color is impressive . Plays very nice sound ,better than the factory radio. Put it in a 2013 ram 1500. The people at Crutchfield very helpful in selecting and with the right wiring harness and antenna adapter. I Will do business with them again.

'97 Jeep Cherokee 2DIN install

This is just what my Jeep needed. The 20 year old Pioneer was tired. I have another JVC head unit in my Titan and love it. With no other changes (same KAC6485 amp and KFC-Xr60p/Xr50p speakers) the sound is now much improved. The Jeep Cherokee is not the greatest sound stage to judge a stereo system on but I am totally satisfied with the results. It was a little fiddly cutting the dash internals to take the 2DIN unit but with a little thought it looks like the factory did it. As usual Crutchfield came through with the proper 2DIN dash cover. Cons = I did not care for the plastic mounting brackets that attach to the receiver. Having bought quite a few stereos from Crutchfield through the years I expected the usual paper work to accompany the order but was surprised to find NONE. Not even an invoice. Having kept the packet from 20 years ago I was able to cross check the original Jeep wiring with the new connectors. All good. Pros = GREAT customer service. Finally used my Crutchfield Bucks. I shall be back.

Nice Radio and Accessories. Easy Install.

Great Radio and Accessories. I ordered this for my daughter's 2013 Corolla. The stock radio was acting up so we decided to replace. She did not want an Android radio. This one is perfect. And come on, free Acccesories- harness, bracket/for kit , and antenna adapter? Who does this but Crutchfield. ? They could have easily charged for these items. Not like I could install without them. I bought the quick connectors and it does up the installation. And was able to re use some of the stock hardware Great price, fast shipping, great support. I am a fan.

Honda Element JVC replacement

The only down fall with this double din deck is that it doesn't keep CORRECT TIME,it seems to just decided to reset the current time at random..it's the one thing you would think would be the easiest function to get right on the newer bluetooth,hands free,ect...era of radios..not s deal breaker but VERY ANNOYING!

Good bang for the buck.

Replaced the OE Navigation unit without U-Connect in my 08 JKU. This receiver had the high voltage pre-outs and Bluetooth features I was looking for at a reasonable price. Currently running the head unit through the OE infinity amplifier and speakers, and the sound quality is surprisingly good. Some of the menus are a bit confusing at first, but overall pretty well laid out. I have had 0 issue with Bluetooth on my iPhone X. Calls are clear and the person on the other end has no trouble hearing me. Spotify control is also spot on. The display color adjustability is pretty cool as well. Matches my factory cluster lights perfectly. Would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting an inexpensive double DIN head unit.

Very pleased with product and service

Bought this deck to upgrade the one in my new-to-me f150. The radio reception was WAYYYY better than the unit it replaced, the Bluetooth features worked perfectly, and it sounds amazing as well. I'm 43 and hadn't installed a deck in a car for close to 20 years, so I needed.to call the help line twice to make sure I was connecting the right wires, and the Crutchfield staff were very understanding and patient. For the quality of the unit, the price was great with the service being icing on the cake. Very satisfied.

Jvc awesomeness!!

This is a ridiculously good deck for the $$. Easy to use, works perfectly, great power for the factory speakers in my 2002 Tundra SR5 with tweeters. I thought my stock speakers were bad, but after installing this deck and testing it out, it rocked the Fleetwood Mac cd I had in the truck! Removing the stock Amp, bypassing it and connecting the harnesses etc was a snap. As usual, everything is there that you need, and it works flawlessly. I bought 4 jvc speakers with the 50% off deal, but I will wait to install as Im actually afraid it wont sound as good. Installation instructions were perfect, after I figured out the amp bypass harness specifically handles the rear speakers. The deck eq presets are great, as usually I enter a User preference, but not needed yet. Bluetooth is super easy to connect and works quickly for calls and my music. The deck even knew to oull up my Spotify music as soon as I connected to phone. I couldnt be happier, and Ive done this about ten times now with all the used cars I go through. Thanks!

Much Thanks !

I replaced my original radio, that came with my truck, with is very affordable one. An identical replacement radio with CD was going to cost me twice what I paid for this JVC. So not only was I going to save money, I got a lot of features that I could never have gotten on the original replacement radio. So much thanks.

Nice unit with great sound

I found this radio to be nicer than what I expected. Extremely clean sound, and loads of options to adjust to my preferences. FM reception was much better than my stock unit. Pairing with my Android 9.x phone was very easy, and phone calls using the included microphone didn't have any issues. I have not tried pairing with another phone yet. I have not used it with the included Alexa feature, as I don't use Amazon for anything. Bluetooth through the phone was perfectly fine and worked with Google Music without issue. I have not tried Spotify yet. I didn't hear any complaints with the quality of calls when using it. I adjusted the echo cancellation to "2" and the mic gain to "2", which seems to work in my sedan. The one complaint is that the LCD is very dim in bright sunlight. Overcast days it is more readable. Switching folders on USB using the up and down button on the radio shows Folder 01, Folder 02, etc, but paradoxically, pressing the search button and navigating shows the folder names. The included EQ presets work very well, and after adjusting the speaker sizes to what your vehicle has makes for a much richer and full sound. Overall I recommend this.

Basic stereo at a good price. Tuner is weak.

I replaced the old stereo in my wife's car which had problems with the display blacking out or showing partial characters. This JVC is a basic stereo but nice looking with some added features like bluetooth and a USB port. Unfortunately the tuner is weak and could only tune in half the stations the old stereo did. After a week my wife had enough and asked for the old one back. So I removed this one and it will sit in its box until we have another vehicle that has a worse stereo than this one.

A very great buy! Sounds awesome, lots of functionality, and fun.

This radio as is a super great buy! It has a fun color scheme, but the sound is incredible. I am a lead guitarist with over 33 years experience playing the guitar and with that I have a good ear for sound I feel. The options for adjusting the sound are great and compared to the factory radio in our 2007 Kia Sedona van that I installed it in... wow! The stock speakers sound wonderful with this unit. Crutchfield is the best place to buy your radio as they can supply the ready cable and any hardware that you need to make the install easy.

2002 Buick Full range system on a budget

Still learning to control and adjust this unit. The initial impressions are out of this world . Installation was smooth, I wired the harness first actually had to solder the connection as I ran out of crimp connectors. Did not want to venture out into public for them. The dash modifications seemed daunting. With the help of a drill and hack saw blade it was easy enough. Looks like a professional install and it only cost 2 skinned knuckes . I could not be more pleased with my budget system. This was my 2nd unassisted install.

Stop looking-this one is well done and affordable

Enjoying this stereo. Installation was very easy. Used the crutchfield service to have the wiring harness already done. WELL worth the cost. Plug and play basically. Tuner receives stations we never got with oem stereo or other brand we tried before this. Sound is wonderful out of the box, plenty of bass. Audio controls to adjust anything if needed. Display is excellent with colors and readout can be seen well even in sunlight. Cd plays quickly after insert as does the usb device. Have not tried Alexa as of yet. Highly recommend this car stereo.

You get what you paid for.

Very easy installation in my 2014 Grand Caravan. Note: I didn't have to cut the bracket behind the radio, I was able to bend them out of the way. The unit works fine. Bluetooth connectivity is lost if you turn car off and takes a little while to reconnect to the device. I do wish the numbers on the display were bolder, the white clock in daylight is dim even at brightest setting. Also I wish the clock could be on all the time even with Bluetooth to my phone. Or at least via push button. All in all, an inexperienced replacement for the stock stereo that didn't have Bluetooth. The kids like all the choices of colors for the display trim.

I am not too happy with it at the moment. I wasnt expecting the greatest radio at this price point and my JVC loyalty can be a burden at times, but wife wanted a physical knob doesnt like the touch screens. That being said the Menu functions are apain and all over the place, making this hard to fine tune as well. The first unit was not DOA but close to it when volume would go up around 20 or better everything would clip out. Reinstalled without any factory wiring and good new speakers and got the same results. Julia at Crutchfield was super awesome and sent one that arrived in a couple days and a return label to get it back to them without me paying. As frustrating as it was she made it a little easier. New one arrived and doesnt have this issue but did damage a new set of speakers at low volume still not sure why and wont know until I get credit and am able to order new speakers for the vehicle. The speakers were overated for the stereo no way it should have happened may have been unlucky and got three bad pieces in the first go but that seems unlikely. I dont know whats happened to the JVC brand but just feels cheap now. will give it a couple more weeks and update review if able but as of right now its probably going to be returned and replaced by another brand.

Does everything I want. Has push buttons and a knob, and I can totally operate it when wearing gloves. Many canned equalizer settings or roll your own. Not so complicated as to be impossible to learn for an old guy like me. BT works fine with phone. Only surprise is that even if my iPhone music is paused, when I start the car and select BT, my music will start playing by itself - the JVC tells my phone to start playing. Bit annoying but not worth dropping a star.
