USB does not play iPhone (Bluetooth only)

Does the radio work with the iPhone? Yes: Bluetooth connects and works great! Plus, the USB cable charges my phone - a big plus since my old pickup doesn't have any charging options. (That's right β€” no lighters.) However, if you're hoping a friend can play their music off their iPhone without actually connecting via Bluetooth, you're out of luck β€” the device doesn't support iPhone. Just in case you're wondering how I was doing, did it work. It's not like this. No, I haven't tried anything other

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Style 90

Great device for the price

This is a great device. I've been using it on my daily rides for a few weeks now. Until the Bluetooth connection is gone. Telephone calls sound crystal clear. And the external microphone works great. Everyone says they can hear me very well. The radios work perfectly. I listen to music from my phone via Bluetooth and it sounds fantastic. Haven't used a USB connection yet, so I'm not sure how well it works. But overall this device is great. The sound quality is excellent. I recommend it to…

Pros
  • Glitter

  • Definitely bad product

GARBAGE! DO NOT BUY! for car audio

I bought this for my 1990 Porsche 944 that I was looking to refurbish. After paying the mechanic $150 to install this junk I had nothing but trouble with it. Songs are suddenly repeated without my intervention, the device turns off in the middle of the song and flashes ERROR-ERROR!. Sound quality is marginal at best, and Bluetooth works decently in receive mode. However, forget to make a call. It's all BAD! I lost $70 for the device and like I said another $150 for the installation. I guess…

Decent stereo but nothing comes as advertised.

In the photo and description the stereo has a red backlight which I wanted to match with the interior lighting on my Pontiac. The block I received has a blue backlight. The headphones that come with it are good, but they are not the ones in the photo. As for the device itself, the sound quality was excellent, but I wasn't impressed with the quality of the device. The large volume knob felt fluffy and cheap, and the buttons felt a bit soft. Slight feedback (white noise) in the background from…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not sure

amazing, very full and amazing sound!

The sound quality which I think is the most important thing is excellent! It seems very true to me, definitely high quality and you can hear a very analog clean sound, also the sound quality depends on your speakers, but if you have good speakers this stereo can give you all the quality that your speakers are capable. Playback, It has frequency mode equalizer where you can limit the frequencies in MHz and normal equalizer modes, the power is very powerful, it has a high power mode which is like

Pleasantly surprised!

More than I expected for the price! I am very happy with this radio. To be honest, I noticed a lot less sound quality and features in this relatively inexpensive device. The sound quality is fantastic even without an amplifier. The blue tooth is crystal clear on both ends, even when driving with the windows down. Lots of settings and tweaks for fine tuning. And it looks great too! I had to remove the bezel to install it in a double din bracket. One minus, the clock doesn't turn on until the…

Pros
  • Car and vehicle electronics
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Ignore the stock Toyota wiring harness colors when installing

I needed to replace the stock AM/FM cassette radio in my 2000 Toyota Corolla. I'm glad I chose this JVC product. Installing the Scosche TA02BCB wiring I bought from her was easy. I was a bit confused because when I removed the old radio the stock female harness adapters behind the dash have a bunch of clashing colors compared to the new male. strap adapter. DO NOT OBSERVE THE COLOR OF TOYOTA'S STANDARD CABLES. I tested the old female wire harnesses with a multimeter and found that the wiring…

  • Car Audio
Cons
  • unreliable

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…
