Great Stereo

I love this stereo, I bought it for my 2004 gmc yukon and it works perfect. I love the way it looks the way it sounds and all the features it has.

Great radio for a Jeep

Radio is perfect for my Jeep! Love that it is Marine so that I can keep the top down and not worry about the radio. Great instructions on how to connect everything! Outstanding!

Great unit

Just installed the tuner in the boat and am amazed of the quality.. Installation was fairly easy as the tuner was the exact size as the 15yr tuner it replaced.. Will highly recommend...

Very happy with this purchase and the Crutchfield recommendation. I am definitely not the most mechanical person but they made the install simple to follow and provided outstanding support for a couple of steps that I needed to double check.

Great in bright sunlight

I put this radio in my class A motorhome to replace the outdated factory unit. Class A's have a huge windshield and large side windows in the cab area, so the ability to see the readout in bright sunlight was important to me. Seeing what is displayed is not a problem with this JVC. Sound quality more than exceeded my expectations and be able to stream music without hooking up a cable (like the old radio required) is very nice. Tom

CD Player Skips and Freezes

Immediately after installation the CD player skipped/froze when hitting road bumps. After a couple of weeks it began skipping/freezing at random (non-bumpy) intervals. It replaced a JVC in the same vehicle that never skipped, even on the worst washboard surfaces. Sending to JVC for warranty service.

Good radio, complex to use PRO setup.

I selected this radio because of its white face background and large characters. It's mounted in a 1983 Datsun 280ZX and the position is low and away from the driver, so the displays on most radios are difficult to read. The display is very readable. Packaging is good and the radio is well protected in shipment. The wiring harness colors are shown on a carton flap, which is good because the nearly useless user manual is printed on cheap gray paper in gray ink. Go to JVC's website and download the complete owner's manual if you want to know how to set up and operate the radio. The feature set is great and both CD and USB sources are important Wiring colors and connections are conventional to most radios today. The install is easier if you have a harness adapter for your car, but there is none for my 280ZX so I had to work with the chassis harness. The mount is easy; a sleeve that slides into a 1 DIN mounting space and tabs bent to hold it in place. EQ and sound setup are quick if you use the EASY mode, more complex if you use PRO mode which provides a surprising number of frequency adjustments and requires knowledge of audio frequencies. Do it right and you can tailor the sound nicely to your listening position. Bluetooth sync with the phone required multiple attempts and was a bit frustrating but worked. The system sounds great when you complete the install, and I'm very happy with it. I used a sub in addition to the radio, and the result is very clean an

Sounds good but not made for anything that may get wet

The install was not bad but still had to do some custom wiring to get rear speakers to work. After the first riding season (NE Ohio) the radio worked great. Got caught in one rainstorm (2006 Electra Glide Classis) in June of 2023. Stored the bike over the winter and in April of 2024 the radio would not work. Called Crutchfield who referred me to JVC Tech support who then said I must send in radio for repair. The repair facility told me there was corrosion on the main PCB which voids the warranty. So a marine radio inside the batwing fairing and somehow internal corrosion voids the warranty.

Had to remove the old amp for the wiring setup and the JVC sounds better than the stock system with the old amp.

Good head unit!

I bought this and installed it on 2013 HD Eletra Glide. Install was simple with Crutchfield help documentation. I hope this will last. I need it to handle the little bit of rain I normally get stuck in each year.

Love new JVC in my old 99 Mercedes

I love my new technology stereo. It syncs to my phone immediately. I still need to learn the other features and programming. I am impressed working with Crutchfield and will buy again from them as well as recommending them to other buyers. Fair pricing, quality items, great customer service and fast shipping.

For a 4X4

I purchased this for a 4X4 that is exposed to a lot of dust and vibration. I'm hoping the marine rating will equate to longer term durability. The last unit made it about a year before it gave up the ghost. As always, Crutchfield had the unit at a competitive price and when you add the great installation instructions and parts purchasing from Crutchfield is the easy decision.

This is a very good sounding car stereo at a great price! The order was filled quickly and I received this item much sooner than projected. I highly suggest getting the Crutchfield Ready Harness as my installation couldn't have gone smoother (plug'n'go)! I'll be purchasing from Crutchfield again!

Excellent choice of a Miata M-Edition '97

Very pleased with this selection of a receiver for my '97 Mazda Miata M-Edition. Great audio and the LCD is easy to read even in bright sunlight which was one of the compelling reasons I looked at this particular model from JVC. Instead of using the METRA adapter for the dash I purchased an adapter from a different retailer. I recommend this to anyone upgrading their stereo to this powder coated stainless steel insert for the NA Miata. The JVC fit perfectly and it looks very clean. I would not recommend the METRA. I tried to install it but it would not fit properly without a significant amount of adjustment to both the dash and the adapter itself. The other adaptor fit right in like a glove - no adjustments - just anchored it down with four screws and ready to go. Bluetooth works great and so does the CD. Very please so far which is why I gave it a 5 Star rating.

Great Jeep Wragler radio

I purchased this to replace another JVC in my Wrangler that sadly, didn't like the rain very much. This replacement was a perfect fit, from the wiring to the trim and it's a fantastic sounding system. 10/10 would recommend!!

1997 Honda Acty Kei Truck

Installed in my 1997 Honda Acty Kei truck. This deck is shallow at 6 1/8 inches, so it fits the smaller face. There are people falsely claiming CD players cannot be installed in Acty trucks. This is not true! Works great, fits perfect. A very capable deck.

Installation was pretty easy with some help from Crutchfield tech support. The radio sounds good and everything works but the operation is somewhat confusing. I purchased a radio from Crutchfield earlier this year for our other vehicle and I have to say I see no reason to purchase from anyone else. Customer service and tech support is second to none.

Real happy with this unit. Replaced an ol' Sony head unit and a 10-disc changer so I still wanted CD capability and we now have blue-tooth ability to play from the phones. The 30 year old Sony had push button volume control so I'm happy to have this unit with a KNOB for volume!

Great system

Installed in a Kubota RTV-1100. Great system, great sound and great bluetooth connectivity. I purchased a 9-pin connector to splice to the wires from the radio plug and all worked great. I did upgrade the factory speakers with Kenwood also from Crutchfield. Sales person was knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend this for anyone with a Kubota!

Do not purchase this product or any other JVC/Kenwood "Marine stereo" with the Conformal Coating. This coating is supposed to guard against corrosion, well, it doesn't. I had mine installed in a Jeep Wrangler for 4 months when it quit working. According to warranty repair it failed due to corrosion and JVC is refusing to cover damages or replace the unit. JVC customer service is dismal at best, the service rep showed no concern what so ever. I'm going back to a Sony, no issues for 15+ years in the same Jeep, only changed because I dropped the face plate and it broke. I gave this 1 star because the review required at least 1 and would not accept 0 stars. I will add that the unit was not purchased through Crutchfield and this review does not reflect any issues with this company.

I've installed and used countless stereo units. This is by far the worst I've ever seen. Bluetooth set up in unnecessarily complicated and takes a long time to reconnect. On many occasions it shows that Bluetooth is connected and playing but no sound comes out. This has been an issue on several different phones.

So far so good, just installed yesterday, everthing seems to be working, operating instructions could use some improvements. I'm old school, so in my opinion there's too many functions per button, took me a bit to figure it out.

Great sound but complex initially

Great sound to replace the factory radio in my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I had it installed by a local stereo shop. Everything went well except the AM was not working properly. Contacted Carl at tech support and he provided solutions and it's now working properly. Now I've just got to figure out how to work the Bluetooth and several other functions as it's more complex than the factory radio and the instructions are not that great.

Crutchfield wins me over.

I installed this in my 2000 Jeep wrangler. The included install kit with harness and antenna extension made this job painless. Everything fit perfectly and made the install look factory. I soldered and heat shrunk all wiring of the adapter harness to the radio harness. It made the harness less bulky behind the radio chassis. The radio does more than I could have expected or needed and sounds terrific. I am an old man from the days of having an am radio in my car and having to add a fm converter under the dash when stations became available. So, you can imagine how much more this offers me when I would have been just as happy to purchase a radio/cd receiver with push buttons and tuning knobs. Alas, those days are behind us unless you go to a junk yard. It is almost impossible to get anything in a brick-and-mortar store anymore and I was extremely pleased with the price, free shipping, and selection from Crutchfield. They are now my go to audio supplier.

A worthy enough upgrade for our Echo.

This is a good upgrade from the stock radio in our 20+ year old Toyota Echo. The JVC is a single din config while the stock radio it replaced is a two din unit/faceplate. Installation went smoothly with only minor hitches. (See the separate kit reviews for the free adapter kits Crutchfield included for free with our purchase of this modern JVC radio unit for more info about those.) After installation, initial radio setup was not as intuitive I would have liked-why do I have to set the audio and date/time setting prior to being able to setup the FM stations? Sound quality seems improved over stock. All-in-all, might purchase this unit again as it seems like a worthy enough upgrade to the old Echo. See below, Pros and Cons for more infos. Unexpected annoyances: -Power on/off, this JVC is complicated than the original radio; you have to hold the >input select< button for about 3 seconds before it will turn off? Not intuitive. And, if you don't press long enough to turn off, it's easy to accidentally switch the input audio setting.requiring you to then have to cycle through copious input choices to get back to the input you want to be at .before trying to power off the unit again? Ugh. -Wired mic requires some space on the dash for it to be attached to. We're still in the process of figuring out where this might be on echoes dash as the mic stick out and is easily knocked about. The CD player and the now rare white backlit main display is why we picked modern

'94 Jeep XJ stereo upgrade

This receiver has been awesome so far. Install was super easy with the Metra dash kit and the fit and finish is spot on. Unfortunately I couldn't use the vehicle wiring adapter as the oem connector had been cut out prior to my ownership. After a few quick Google searches, I was on my way. I love the Bluetooth connection. After syncing my phone, it auto connects immediately when I turn on the vehicle. The sound quality is awesome, the radio doesn't drop out at all, so I could not be happier.

The stereo has awesome sound and volume without distortion. CD player has great sound but does skip some, the factory stereo on my Harley didn't skip on even the bumpiest of roads. The owners manual is somewhat vague on operation of the unit so it took me a little bit to figure out everything. My overall opinion is that I would by it again. Now that I have everything figured out I'm really enjoying it on my rides.

So far so good install was no problem and the software is easy to get used to. My absolute favorite part is how fast the unit connects to a device ( I lie, it's the customizable lighting). No problems yet let's see if it survives the summer heat.
