Don't bother mate JVC car stuff is cheap and cheerful. Save your cash and get a nice Alpine unit

Hey, I've got a JVC headunit and it's great :)

That one looks a bit suspect though, I'd avoid.

for all the features and the clarity of mine for the money i paid its brilliant, but i agree get an alpine or pioneer above £150 for a gud 1.

Looks like it has some random plumbing around the front too.

Either Alpine or Pioneer H/U will sort you out. I have Pioneer H/U with all Alpine speakers and it sounds awesome.

That really doesn't say much :P . They are an acceptable budget unit but you can't even compare them to Alpine decks in terms of SQ.

i use the remote control then the knob.

im gonna do summat mad mods and take out the original car fasia for a screen, so it blends in to the dash using fibre glass. Change the headunit to a dvd headunit from Alpines 2006 range with a touch screen. :D
