This is not 2 DIN for automotive electronics

This player is not 2 DIN and will not fit properly in a car. It is wider than 2 DIN and shorter, which is totally different from the 2 DIN standard. It is necessary to buy a frame, but this frame must be present in the template of each car, otherwise I have not found a suitable frame. If you want a player that leaves a lot of holes in your panel, you can buy this player or it will run out.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Volume

Attention buyers - Automotive

Solid product, poor packaging. There is no frame part covering the front of the main unit and metal parts to connect them. Of course I used the ones from my old car so everything was fine there, but the lack of a black frame is a little frustrating. Huge gaps on each side, top and bottom, and as a result there is a hissing noise when shifting. All in all it's a good system, just a shame I didn't get it with all the parts.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • The list will be long.

My wife's 2007 Jeep Liberty

The sound quality is great, I took Crutchfield's advice and installed the mic in the same pocket as the headliner courtesy light and routed the cable across the headliner to and under the driver's door duct seal and then under the dashboard (phone calls are crystal clear). The radio was easy to set up, as was Bluetooth with the phone. Hands Free works great and the radio is easy to use. Definitely 5 stars for the boss, she loves it so much.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Upgrade available

Won't play CD-RWs Best car electronics

This archaic junk doesn't even play CD-RWs. Talk about cutting corners. Damn, what an outdated crap from JVC. The USB reader calls your named, labeled folders folders 1, 2, etc. instead of their actual names, so labeling them doesn't help at all. You have to search for each one until you remember it. The interface is bad, very clumsy. Bluetooth does not work. But otherwise it does what it's supposed to: play music, display the time and radio stations. So you get what you pay for and a little…

Pros
  • Normal price
Cons
  • Poor maintainability

Is it worth? Installed on Toyota Corolla 05g.

Was well packed at first. The sound quality in the car has definitely improved after installing this radio, but I ran into a problem. I have an iPhone 8+, I tried to use bluetooth and it connects then disconnects immediately. It starts searching and on my phone it says it can't reconnect. It still works with your standard USB charging cable so it's not a big deal, I prefer to charge with my phone as it's convenient but shit, Bluetooth doesn't just work for convenience so I gave it 4 given…

Pros
  • I'm looking forward to
Cons
  • Annoying

Budget Stereo System: Auto & Vehicle Electronics

Bought this stereo system to replace my wife's 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5S factory unit. It sounded good, better than my 2008 Honda Accord V6 EXL "Subwoofer" stereo. In addition, I have an aftermarket, powerful and noisy, but with many autotypical problems. Anyway, Nissan Stereo started having blank screen, partial text screen, changing channels etc. So I got this because of the price. The first double din, I wanted wives to be comfortable seeing him behind the wheel. I used factory speakers…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Something is wrong
