Review on 📻 JVC KD-X260BT: Bluetooth Media Receiver with AM/FM, USB, MP3, Pandora, Spotify, iHeartRadio Compatibility for Apple and Android Phones by Justin Santiago

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great digital car receiver car radio with a fault

JVC is the best when it comes to audio equipment. This car radio/receiver has very good sound quality, great reception and a great connection to my iPhone via Bluetooth and USB. HOWEVER, this is one point I don't like: as soon as my iPhone connects to this device via USB or Bluetooth, it immediately starts playing music. . There is NO option in this car stereo (same as iPhone except delete music/music app) to STOP playing music every time you turn on the device. I have written to Apple about this issue and they are actively deleting posts on this topic on their forums. JVC does not mention anything about this problem. I HATE music that starts automatically. I uninstalled the Music & Music app from my iPhone and when the radio can't find the music the LCD shows "ERROR" "Can't find the music" which tells me it's an intentional feature of the Radios themselves that do not do this can be disabled. For those of you who enjoy playing music as soon as you connect your mobile device, that's a plus. But for people like me, this is very annoying and undesirable.

Pros
  • car stereo receiver
Cons
  • stock
