No AM, screen angle could be better!
AM radio does not get any stations. Was told it was my location. Have not tried it on road yet. The angle of the screen could be better, although it is probably the angle of my dash. Otherwise I like it.

Not the worst
Meh... Sound quality is not the best. Despite multiple attempts at adjusting the audio settings I'm still not completely satisfied. I have good quality pioneerSpeakers. Also, pushing and holding the volume up button only works to level 15. After that you have to push it for every level up to max at 40. There is no mute button. The DVD interface is a bit confusing, too. On screen functions overlap. Touching the screen to push the chapter select brings up a menu... the remote is no help. I do like the clean and simple appearance.

Total Automation with Apple Car Play
I love this stereo/deck. It has a great EQ with a ton of presets. I have it running with 2 Alpine amps with a Bazooka Tube. I have the adapter to trick it to thinking it is parked, so I can have DVD's playing. It integrates with the iPhone and the JVC app. If you are using Waze instead of maps, you need to connect your phone via bluetooth otherwise you won't have any music. Waze takes over the screen on the deck and on your phone. As soon as you change phone screens it turns off the Waze on the deck. I miss having a volume knob, but it does have an onscreen mute function which comes in handy. The screens are sometimes slow to respond, but overall I really love this deck. Voice texting through the deck comes in handy. I like the way it reads your text messages.

Some 5 stars some 1 Stars
Sound quality great.Regretfully a problem getting the unit to connect with Samsung S8 and S9 so Waze and Android Auto does not work without a tweek. Using an old phone which is recognized and having it connected to a wifi hotspot on my newer Samsung. Too messy so I really regret the purchase now.

GREAT UPGRADE for my 2007 Chevy Trailblazer LS
Stereo has great sound quality and I did not install an amp, but you have to spend alot of time adjusting equalizer, crossover, gain, and delays. For me it's ok. I put it in a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer LS, fit perfect. Some people may not like having to run an exterior mic and wire to steering wheel column but it is closer to you and you can talk normal without yelling. The little mic glued on top of steering column looks cool to me, it won't bother you at all. Also, I connect this to a Samsung galaxy S8 Active, no problem.

Great quality and price!
Had an Android radio but it was a pos. I replaced it with this JVC car play unit and I love it! It’s very easy to install and setup. Great price point for a CarPlay unit!
