Consumer Critiques

Installed it in 2010 Nissan Frontier Extended Cab, along with the HD Radio tuner, six"x9" Alpine SPR-69C speakers in front and 6.five" Alpine SPS-600's in rear.
Pros:
1. Incredibly hassle-free, intuitive navigation, specifically for all the attributes, which includes massive dedicated buttons for preset radio stations -- which was crucial to me given that I listen to the radio a LOT. Menu and Back buttons make the nested menus quick, in particular when applying USB mass storage (up to 20,000 songs). Can Hide infrequently put to use menu alternatives (such as AUX input) making use of Setup. Can readily "customize it" to meet your preferences. Once you've tweaked your setup, it's fairly easy to use.
2. Color matched my dash lights Incredibly well, with separate settings for the display and the buttons, including entirely several setups for night and day. Display is fairly customizeable, as nicely, in addition to deciding on Negative and Positive backlighting.
3. Great internal equalizer gives three various adustments for every of at least three frequencies in each of the three broad ranges (High, Mid, Low) -- creating it far more like a 9 or ten band equalizer. Can finetune it to your speakers and the car's acoustics -- your tweaking is most easily done by pressing and holding the preset that's closest to what you like, then make your manual adjustments and its automatically saved as a USER preset that is simply accessed via this dedicated EQ button. Or, you can do it the difficult way utilizing the Setup Audio menu.
4, Robust internal amp is absolutely not "over-rated" at 20 watts -- it will produce 20 watts with small noticeable distortion. With excellent aftermarket speakers, you can not (I don't) need to have an amp or separate sub, though I am confident it would sound even far better. A number of LOUD settings to improve low volume, if desired, but I don't use them -- just tweaked the EQ. You could boost the volume even way more by jacking up the input volume (see 5 below). Of course, you have 5 sets of RCA out jacks and built-in subwoofer manage if you want to amp it up...
five. Adjustable input volume for each and every input source(Aux, USB, CD, etc) other than the Radio, so you can get the same output volume from every source withour jarring (and possibly damaging to your ears or speakers) volume adjustments when switching sources. Even the Aux input sounds great, though it does not really evaluate to the 24-bit Digital-to-Analog (DAC) converter in the headunit.
6. Clean, fantastic sound, even though I didn't try it with just the stock speakers. With all the adjustments, you can tailor it to the sort of music you ordinarily listen to. Surprising bass with these nice Alpine speakers. The stereo in my truck now blows away the Pioneer/Bose setup in my house!
7. Attractive, without having being flashy. Looks almost stock... hopefully won't attract the consideration of theives!
CONS:
1. Couldn't transfer phonebook from my old Casio Boulder. Readily paired up to it, and the Bluetooth works great otherwise. I just dial out using Phonebook on my cell, and the headunit takes over. Could nonetheless manually dial employing headunit, but it is a lot more cumbersome. Sounds terrific -- callers say it sounds like I am just employing a headset, with no echoes, road noise or other distractions.
2. Did not recognize my Sansa Clip MP3 player - possibly mainly because I also have a microSD card in it. Purchased a 8GB USB flash drive that operates fantastic, and use it on the rear USB, hidden in glove compartement. (The tiny USB Bluetooth adapter stays in the front USB and isn't extremely noticeable at all.)
three. File names and folders nonetheless restricted to 25 characters, which initially necessary some renaming of the files. This has small impact on the display, having said that, considering the fact that the Tags (Artist, Album, Song Title) can contain up to 128 characters. Can select to scroll long tags as soon as, repeatedly, or turn scrolling totally off.
four. FM radio reception is not actually any much better than stock, even though the sound is clearer with much less static on regular AM/FM. AM reception seems greater than stock, and much clearer overall. HD radio sounds Good, although HD stations and their range are still restricted. I saw HD as an investment in the future, without having subscription charges, particularly since the FCC just lately authorized the HD stations to enhance their broadcast power (i.e. range) ten-fold or one thing like that.
five. Glossy faceplate and buttons show fingerprints and dust, and makes it appear "much less stock" than it would if it had a textured finish. Otherwise, matches stock dash extremely nicely. At night, with the colors adjusted and stored through setup, it looks like it came from the factory rather of having a multi-colored light show... See the photographs that I uploaded.
Overall, I'm Especially, Really pleased with the upgrade. The improvement in sound (not counting flexibility of two USB inputs, AUX, HD radio, etc.) more than the stock single-CD (non Rockford-Fosgate) system is just outstanding. With the 6x9 Alpines, you can crank it up and feel the bass thump your chest. IMO, this JVC has the most features accessible at this value point in a double-DIN deck, those features are hassle-free to use, and the sound won't disappoint!

The JVC KW-XR810 excels with its intuitive user interface. Navigating thru your iPod, performing routine tasks, or producing adjustments to the audio is really simple and easy thanks to the well thought-out menu scheme but I do have a handful of minor quibbles with some of the other capabilities. This unit was installed in a 2010 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab and run via the factory speakers with an further subwoofer mounted behind the rear bench.
I'll start with the variable color display. I was in a position to perfectly match it to my Toyota's orange dashlight theme and could have performed the very same in my Volkswagen with its Indigo Blue instrument lighting. The drawback is that, in some daylight conditions, not all readily available colors are extremely viewable so I had to opt for (for my daytime display) a color based extra on viewability versus making use of my favorite color. Picking display colors is completed along with selecting the corresponding brightness level (for day or night) and you can set the night color/brightness to activate based on time of day or with your headlight switch.
iPod interface: Terrific! Though it does not mirror the click-wheel exactly, a dedicated "menu" and "back" button make getting into and out of the song menus a snap. JVC eliminated accidental item picking by limiting the movements of the center knob so skipping forwards or back throughout iPod or CD playback is handled through the four-way pad. You can also set the unit up so that iPod control is handled via the iPod itself.
Program menus are handled by pressing and holding the "menu" button which skips past the specific menu for your selected supply and goes, rather, to the system menus. Then, choices are scrolled thru with the knob and chosen with the menu button. Method menus are issues like advanced EQ, fade/balance, phone connections, setting display colors, and so on. Things you don't have to mess with routinely.
I enjoy the PAUSE/MUTE function! Pressing in on the significant center knob mutes any live audio but if you are listening to a recorded supply like disc or mp3 player, the music is paused. I also own a Pioneer (P8000BT) that will mute the iPod but playback continues which I get annoying.
Audio top quality is especially excellent. I am very satisfied with the clarity and volume of the built-in amp's output as it is driving all my most important speakers with only a tiny mono amp and single sub added for depth. At very first, I did not care for the EQ interface acquiring it's adjustability as well restricted as compared to the 7-band EQ in my Pioneer but following living with the unit for about six months, I've come to understand that the audio output is fairly beneficial with the EQ set flat and that only minor nudges in particular locations of the sound spectrum are required. One factor that I have to have to clarify in opposition to some previous reviews: You get 3 areas to tune Bass, Mid, and Treble. Inside each and every of those areas, you should pick 1 band to adjust. For example...in the Bass region, you may well select 50, 80, or 125hz to raise or decrease. You CAN NOT improve the 50hz band AND the 80hz band...it is a single or the other. Other reviewers have stated, "It really is like having 9 bands!" Sorry but no, it is not.
The Bluetooth connected rapid and quickly. On screen prompts just about negated the will need for the manual. A nice function on this unit is the ability to have two phones connected simultaneously whereby you can press and hold the phone button to `hot swap' in between them. A telephone icon with the number 1,two,three, or four is displayed to show which unit is the active one. According to many people on the other end, contact top quality is not as great as my `other' head unit (the Pioneer). I can hear them just fine but the mic is perhaps not as good.
As mentioned in other critiques, you get two USB ports and the Bluetooth adapter occupies 1 of them so if you are employing it for your phone, then you have only 1 USB port left. That stated, if you connected the BT to the USB on the front panel, then you can very easily pull it out to connect an additional device devoid of getting to access the rear of the unit. A single issue that shocked me was the BT adapter itself...these issues are tiny. This 1 is about the size of an automotive fuse (the kind with the two spade ends) so to plug it into the front panel...it is really unobtrusive.
Living with the JVC unit has been wonderful. The majority of functions that you in fact will need access to on a routine basis are readily readily available at the push of a single button or at the pretty best of a certain menu so I don't have to devote a lot of time messing with it on the road. I don't care for parametric style equalizers but, even set flat, the unit produces high excellent sound with some decent power behind it and provides you front, rear, and non-fading subwoofer pre-outs for amp expansion.
Negatives: For me, the EQ, as I prefer sliders. There is a lengthy `read' time when choosing CD or mp3 player. From the time I select "CD" as the source to the time it starts playing music is around five-7 seconds. The display, as mentioned prior to, can be challenging to read in quite bright light so I had to pick the brightest white color in order to make it more visible during the day. At night, there is a lot more latitude but if you want to use anything like pure red for your color...even that can be difficult to read so the color palette, although extremely broad, is not entirely useable from a practicality standpoint.
