Great budget MP3 CD player headunit!
I purchased this unit to replace a Kenwood KDC-MP425 which served me well, but ultimately stopped ejecting CD's. Anyway while this one doesn't have the flashy graphics of the Kenwood unit it certainly outperforms it in function.
This unit let's you fast forward and rewind through MP3 CD's quickly. ID3 tags are read and the Aux input will be useful for when my...

product only as good as the warranty
I bought this to replace a stolen car stereo. I really liked the feature set, the unit kicks out some great clear sound and for the most part operation is straight forward, only had to reference the instructions once. I rated this at one star as the remote died less than a week from install, changing the battery had no effect. I tried contacting JVC through their...

Great budget MP3 CD player headunit!, March 27, 2009
This review is from: JVC KD-R200 AM/FM Single-DIN MP3/WMA-Compatible In-Dash CD Receiver with Remote Control (Electronics)
I purchased this unit to replace a Kenwood KDC-MP425 which served me well, but ultimately stopped ejecting CD's. Anyway while this one doesn't have the flashy graphics of the Kenwood unit it certainly outperforms it in function.
This unit let's you fast forward and rewind through MP3 CD's quickly. ID3 tags are read and the Aux input will be useful for when my friends with Ipods. Sound quality is very good, however I did not realize until installing that this unit only has one set of RCA outputs if you're going to hook it up to a four channel amp. The remote is a nice little bonus, as I had to buy my last one separately.
It was this or a unit with GPS built in for $200 more. I'm glad I went with this one and held onto my money during these tough economic times.

This review is from: JVC KD-R200 AM/FM Single-DIN MP3/WMA-Compatible In-Dash CD Receiver with Remote Control (Electronics)
I just bought this stereo and it is very good. Not expensive but gives you value for your money.It is user friendly and the sound quality is very good. I would buy this item again if I need to get another stereo and would recomend it to anyone.

Viva La Amazon e JVC, November 17, 2009
This review is from: JVC KD-R200 AM/FM Single-DIN MP3/WMA-Compatible In-Dash CD Receiver with Remote Control (Electronics)
What a great AM/FM CD Player, and for $69.00. I needed a new AM/FM CD Player in the Freightliner Columbia I drive, because the stock Panasonic AM/FM CD Player's CD player quit working, and the FM reception wasn't very good. I wanted a standard FM radio, because I'm not of fan of everything digital, especially radios, and this JVC fits the bill perfectly for me. The FM reception is great, and I can pick-up a lot stations as I drive around the country, and with clarity. The only thing that bugs me is the directions on the manual for setting the clock and other functions aren't explained very clearly, but after trial and error I figured it out. To change the clock and other functions you need to push MODE, then push and hold SEL, then after functions come up on the readout click the forward or reverse nob to go to the function you want to change, then use the volume knob to change that function. This is an excellent choice for Radio/CD player. If I was a billionaire I'd still buy it.

Best entry level mp3/radio receiver, May 28, 2009
This review is from: JVC KD-R200 AM/FM Single-DIN MP3/WMA-Compatible In-Dash CD Receiver with Remote Control (Electronics)
Over the past 2 years, I've had the misfortune to have had my car radio stolen out of my Saturn 4 times. Each time, the cretins have broken a window to get in (even though after the first time I started leaving the door unlocked) so all I could afford was the entry level receivers. Each time I put in a different brand and model, so out of the the four most popular entry level car radios that also can play MP3s, this one is the best. None of them have controls that are completely intuitive, make sure you keep the instruction manual if you ever want to change set your clock! But this is easy to install, I hooked it up to a small amp and powered subwoofer (get adujstable power if you do this so you don't rattle your windows like some punk kid) and replaced the cheap Delco GM speakers the Saturn came with, and the resulting sound is excellent. I find the remote control pretty useless, but you're not going to get a better audio bang for your buck than this model.

Don't need frivolous features? Get it., September 6, 2009
This review is from: JVC KD-R200 AM/FM Single-DIN MP3/WMA-Compatible In-Dash CD Receiver with Remote Control (Electronics)
My guess is that this radio is more than suitable for 90% of the public in the way they use their radios, or more. This is the first radio I ever installed into a vehicle, and it was a success.
On the positive side the sound is excellent, the price is cheap compared to units at big box stores, and it comes with a front AUX-IN port. I chiefly bought this radio because of the price and the aux port, as I have an MP3 player and don't listen to much radio aside to NPR.
However, I do listen to music on the radio every once and again, and the radio is missing a couple of features that are standard on stock cars these days that I've seen. Namely, it doesn't display radio broadcast track information (I suppose this isn't a big deal, as half the time the radio stations around here only use the space to advertise their own name rather than inform me of the current track's details). I would've expected a radio that can display CD ID3 tags to do this, oh well.
The faceplate seems to've come from a different model radio, as I see an unlit bluetooth icon on the upper left of the display when it has power, but there's no bluetooth functionality. Perhaps this is subtle teasing on JVC's part?
Since there's no USB port there's also no way for it to directly interface with an iPod--but I knew I wasn't getting that when I bought it, but it's something to keep in mind. If you really want such a feature look elsewhere.
Bottom line is it works, it's affordable, it sounds great, and hasn't given me any trouble yet.

product only as good as the warranty, January 6, 2010
This review is from: JVC KD-R200 AM/FM Single-DIN MP3/WMA-Compatible In-Dash CD Receiver with Remote Control (Electronics)
I bought this to replace a stolen car stereo. I really liked the feature set, the unit kicks out some great clear sound and for the most part operation is straight forward, only had to reference the instructions once. I rated this at one star as the remote died less than a week from install, changing the battery had no effect. I tried contacting JVC through their website for support and hopefully a replacement remote, no response. I tried calling their general support number from jvc.com and from the warranty information included in the box but that wasnt very helpful as their automated system is incomplete. I called their service center just to get the same automated queue. I will likely have to pay for a replacement remote from ebay and will ultimately replace this stereo with a non-jvc stereo as the warranty is useless if i cant obtain an RMA number or directions on how to send defective product their way.

Very good stereo, November 16, 2009
This review is from: JVC KD-R200 AM/FM Single-DIN MP3/WMA-Compatible In-Dash CD Receiver with Remote Control (Electronics)
This is a very good stereo with an even better price. Ive bought 3 in the last year. If your looking for a stereo that gives you all the basics plus it has an aux input for your mp3 player than this is it. I'm using it on 2 sony xsgtx6930 6x9 and 2 pioneer ts-g1642r 6.5in and the bass is incredible even without running an amp. The remote is handy too and the face is detachable....A must buy!

Fantastic! A bargain for $59.99, December 26, 2009
This review is from: JVC KD-R200 AM/FM Single-DIN MP3/WMA-Compatible In-Dash CD Receiver with Remote Control (Electronics)
Cheapest unit -- which was still a quality name brand -- that I could find with Aux-in connection. Well made and attractive looking in the car. Def a bargain for the price...! Excellent sound and no disc skipping problems. Detachable face mechanism is not as smooth as the older Panasonic unit that this replaced but other than that I am very pleased with this budget upgrade to my car that looks much more expensive than it was!

Great stereo for my '69 F250!, August 8, 2009
This review is from: JVC KD-R200 AM/FM Single-DIN MP3/WMA-Compatible In-Dash CD Receiver with Remote Control (Electronics)
I love this unit! I have been using it for a month now, and have had absolutely no problems with it. I have it installed in a 1969 Ford F250, which gets used like a truck. Radio reception is very good, and I get no skips when playing CD's. The directions on installation were clear, and I got it wired up with no trouble.
Installed it using a METRA Ltd 99-9222 Radio Install Kit for a Volvo.[...]
I really like the fact that the faceplate is removable. My truck is parked behind my house, so the removable faceplate is a good theft deterrent.
I haven't used the remote control yet, so I can't really comment on that. But if you're looking for a great stereo at a great price, this is the one!

COOL RADIO, November 22, 2009
This review is from: JVC KD-R200 AM/FM Single-DIN MP3/WMA-Compatible In-Dash CD Receiver with Remote Control (Electronics)
This radio is great. The sound is good and the install was easy. The screen can be seen in the day with no problem. For the money you can't go wrong.
