Its Alright.,
by ChiCho, 2010-08-24
The radio has great features.. HD Radio, CD, USB,.. I got used to not having preset buttons for the radio... The thing that really bugged me on this radio..(and maybe its just me).. is that I could find no way to adjust the screen's contrast. So unless Im looking at the radio dead on center.. its very washed out and almost impossible to read during daylight.. the buttons also feel a little cheap and plastic.. After about a year of having this radio.. It stopped working too.
Excellent, fanciest car radio ever owned,

JVC KD-HDR50 30K Color-Illumination Single-DIN HD Radio CD Receiver with Remote Control USB 2.0 for iPod/iPhone is an outstanding deal, especially if you get it from an associated dealer (Sixth Avenue Elecronics, see the site, 6ave.com, on the web) as I did. I got mine for only 122 bucks, free shipping, outstanding deal! and it works perfectly, flawlessly -- it is "bluetooth capable" and has an "mini-remote" to control it wirelessly from a distance; it plays HD stations as well as conventional AM/FM stations; it also plays Music CDs and interfaces with both the "Apple iPod" and "Microsoft Windows Style" .mp3 Players, to play Their Music as well! So whether you're an "Apple/MAC" user or a "Microsoft Windows PC" user like me, you're covered!, by this excellent car radio product! And if I CAN install it in MY old Ford Ranger Truck, then YOU CAN install it virtually anywhere, in your car or truck; and if you have any issues or problems with installation, there are Abundant local "Audio Shops" where you live which can assist you, as I did take mine to "All Pro Audio" here in Santa Clara, CA a few blocks from where I live, for easy installation assistance. :-)
Good features for the price. Unintuitive interface.,
by Tim, 2010-07-03
I got this radio because it had all the features I wanted at the best price. As far as that goes, it delivers. The iPod connectivity and HD radio have been great upgrades, and it has worked as expected. The ability to change the color of the lights has been unexpectedly fun.
Where this radio lacks is its interface. If you don't read the manual, you will not know how to work it. After being used to a line of buttons for preprogramed stations my entire life, most radios seem to be eliminating that feature these days. I don't get it. They were always the most used buttons on my radio. On this unit, instead of pushing one button to change the channel you have to push menu, turn the dial, and then push the dial. It's a three step process that a new passenger would never guess. To me "menu" implies going into your set of options. It shouldn't have anything to do with changing the channel. The power button is labeled (power symbol)/ATT. Who in the world know what "ATT" stands for? Well, I learned that "ATT" stands for "attenuate." I learned a new word. You shouldn't have to be expanding your vocabulary to use a simple radio. Another feature I access quite a bit is changing the control of the iPod from the head unit to the iPod itself. To do that you push and hold the "back" button. It's easy enough, but it doesn't make a lick of sense to me. This is all while the most prominent button on the unit is the "Tag" button which is one of the least used buttons. Tagging doesn't work with all stations, and I don't tend to buy a lot of music anyway. The interface should be completely redesigned so someone could actually use it without reading the manual, but in the end it's really not hard to use. Just be prepared to give a rundown to anyone borrowing your car or sitting in the passenger seat.
ok for the price,

The HD cuts out allot while driving and then will switch automaticly to the analog channel, which gives a delay. My clock has already died and wont reset. I guess you get what you pay for
Best Value,
by C. Socia, 2010-05-10
This stereo has it all. It has so many options for a price that is very reasonable. It has excellent design. Looks and sounds more expensive than it actually cost. You could not ask for more. If your in the market for a stereo that has all the up to date options without breaking your wallet this is the stereo for you.
