4.0 out of 5 stars
Good deck,
This review is from: JVC KD-R800 30K Color-Illumination Single-DIN CD Receiver with Dual USB 2.0 for iPod/iPhone and Bluetooth (Electronics)
Pros:
Lots of sound input options Reads MP3 tags Cons: Display only has 1 line of text for song tags Display is a tad too small Poor blue tooth microphone implementation Comments: I can't live without an MP3 stereo anymore. I first owned a cheap Chinese player back in 2002 and then I upgraded to a JVC-G820 in 2005. The G820 was awesome compared to most players at the time. I just upgraded to the KD-R800. It's basically just like the G820 except with bluetooth and a harder to read screen. 99% of the time I use the USB interface with a mini 4GB usb flash drive. This deck is great for that. Blue Tooth audio: This deck supports 2 blue tooth functions, input as a music device and input/output as a phone device. It works fine with my iPhone 3G for both of these functions. The blue tooth music functionality is basically a wireless line-in. Blue Tooth Phone: This is my first blue-tooth deck. The phone functionality seems to work ok but it comes with a cheap microphone that only works when connected to the rear mic-in plug. I had to find a way to run the microphone cable from inside the dashboard to the outside of the dashboard. This was tricky to install and the micro-phone is a kludge on the dashboard. I think I'm not going to use the phone functionality on the deck because of this. They should have built a microphone onto the faceplate. I was amazed at the phone options on this deck: It was able to reads lots of information from my iphone 3G like recent call history, the address book, and caller ID for incoming calls. Colors: JVC highly touts the "30k" colors as a feature. It's neat at first but I don't really care. The system comes with 30 preset colors and a USER option with sliders to configure Red, Green and Blue for a custom color. USB: I really like the usb feature. I use a FAT formatted 4GB flash drive with lots of sub-folders and songs. My favorite part of this deck is that it displays proper ID3 tags. I read somewhere that a USB HDD will work too but I have yet to confirm. I will update this review after I get an HDD. The iPhone/iPod should also interface on the USB port but I have yet to try that either. Sound quality: Good enough. I don't have good speakers or a sub. Digital Radio: Does not work out of the box, requires extra equipment. Satellite Radio: Does not work out of the box, requires extra equipment. Aux Line-in: Haven't tried it. Buttons: The track forward/back and folder up/down buttons are on a single square button that pivots and works better than I expected. The volume knob is near the center of the deck and looks and feels great. It turns like a softly notched mouse wheel and also acts as a button. The phone button is used as a shortcut to the phone options menu and can also pickup and end calls. Overall: I like this stereo but it only gets 4 out of 5 stars because the blue-tooth microphone is a kludge and the screen is on the small side. Otherwise a fantastic deck that works as advertised and will support all your digital music needs.

*almost* Perfect,

This review is from: JVC KD-R800 30K Color-Illumination Single-DIN CD Receiver with Dual USB 2.0 for iPod/iPhone and Bluetooth (Electronics)
I installed this unit a month ago (nissan Versa, adapter kit costs $26) and I love it. The few buttons it has are actually very convenient to use, the display is beautiful (see *except* below), and the sound quality is excellent (I'm using the stock Versa speakers, but they work great).
I use the Bluetooth with my Razr, works great - I installed the mic on the lower part of the dash, near where the key goes, and people say they can hear me fine. Ipod works great (I switched it to allow the ipod itself to control, and routed the USB cable to the center console area between the front seats. MP3 CD plays well, though it takes about 5 seconds to start playing. MP3 8GB SD card (in a USB adapter) works best for me, although with FAT32 you need to be careful about long file names if you have a lot of files in a few directories. I don't use the AM at all, and FM only a little - the lack of preset buttons doesn't bother me - just click "Menu" then spin the dial to select. The little square navigation button also works for change tracks/stations. Also, the small little remote is great - my wife and daughter use that instead of the head controls. *except*: Now, the *almost* part is: inspite of the display being BEAUTIFUL (color adjustable, fairly large), the layout designer at JVC are doorknobs :(. The font used is poor - the position of the items, and relative sizes are bad. Scrolling the font makes it flicker. All things that are purely software (they could have made this thing SOO GREAT). Although some things are configurable, I couldn't address my particular issues (I want the CLOCK to be the most visible, followed my song title, then maybe track time - instead, they made the "USB REAR", in a VERY readbale bold font and then GIANT USB logo, the most obvious thing, squeezing the clock down to the lower left, in big, but too thin font - then right in the middle of everything, the song title, also in the same thin font). I have a glimmer of hope that a new firmware will somehow be made available for this exceptional hardware platform, but in the mean time I'll just let my ears enjoy it, instead of my eyes :)

Great if you are not a radio person,

This review is from: JVC KD-R800 30K Color-Illumination Single-DIN CD Receiver with Dual USB 2.0 for iPod/iPhone and Bluetooth (Electronics)
I bought this deck to put in an 03 4Runner, as I was fed up with not having any options for playing my iPod thru my car stereo without those crappy radio transmitters. I've changed out a car stereo before, but it had been about 10 years, but after a few minutes of thinking about it, I got it figured out and it looks great. I really like the Bluetooth functionality and have found it to work flawlessly, so I don't entirely understand the trouble other people have had with it. I've also found the remote to be less than awesome, as you must have it pointed right at the unit for it to work... There is also a strange delay on CD/iPod start up, but whatever, I don't think I'm too picky and can deal.
My issue is this. In my car, I spend about 80% of the time listening to the radio, and about 90% of that is AM sports talk stuff. Otherwise, it's iPod, especially if I'm out of town and what not. Anyway, the factory deck on my Toyota has two antenna inputs, one AM and one FM. There is no visible antenna, they are actually embedded in the rear windows. Anyway, the JVC deck only has one antenna input, and it's for the FM one. So while my installation was perfect and looks professional, I realized right away, the AM radio is crap, at best. FM is fine, perhaps even better than before, but that means very little to me. I spoke to an installation expert about my problem, and he told me that while in his opinion, JVC provides the best deck that money can buy for the features they come with, they are really more focused on catering to the iPod/CD exclusive listeners, and that while there are a number of things other stores might be ready to sell me to fix my problem (coupling connecters, antenna booster add ons, etc) he won't sell me any of them cause none of them will work. He said my best bet is to sell it for a loss to a friend who doesn't care much about AM, and get a new deck that pays more attention to the tuner functions of the deck, like a Pioneer or a Kenwood. So that is the plan at this point. Called JVC about it also and they were worthless. I will tell you tho, now that I've gotten a taste of the dual USB, Bluetooth capability, etc, I want it in the next one. Bottom line, great features, easy install, very good price, but no good for those AM radio dinosaurs like myself...
