🎶 Enhance Your Car Audio Experience with the JVC KD-R490 Single DIN Car Audio Receiver Review

Quick and easy installation, although it took me longer to get started than it did to deliver. The controls are easier to use than my previous block.

Neither Bluetooth nor touchscreen. It is not possible to play music from the iPhone 11 through the USB port, which is disappointing as it was advertised as being able to do so. The sound quality is acceptable.

Bought to replace the Clarion I bought last year (sounded awful). I'm really impressed with the sound quality, performance and ease of use. Simple controls and many equalizer settings. Very good device for the money.

I don't know if it helps or not matter. This is a great little stereo for my little 2 door. I upgraded the speakers from the 1996 factory speakers, as did the handheld remote. I don't always like to reach down and play with my stereo.

the original radio in my honda died and i got this unit which works great! The sound is much better, more detailed than before. I needed a radio that played music from a USB stick and CDs and didn't need a phone connection as I prefer to keep my eyes on the road while driving. Very easy to install with the Metra kit. All that's missing is the M5 0.8mm screws to attach the radio to the Metra, but these are available from Home Depot.

Bought for the USB option. I enjoy lugging a USB stick with all my music in my truck. There is enough power to drive good speakers. 4 x 2-way kicker speakers are added and the sound is loud, crisp and clear. For example, it has built in several preset equalizer parameters. The remote control is also useful.

Wanted an extra input for my Sirius receiver, USB media player and CD player for my old 2004 Chevy Express Van. It includes AM/FM which I probably won't use. It has a setting to use the rear L and R outputs to drive a subwoofer (which I don't need) and full range mono which I connected to the EV Sx300. Moderate performance but loud enough for me. It rocks everything!
