(More customer reviews)This is a great double din touch screen radio. The Detachable face plate is Golden for avoiding broken windows and a stolen stereo. I bought the Stereo wire harness for my 2001 nissan Xterra and the JVC KS-U30 usb video Cable for ipod and iphone. I have an Iphone 4. I did NOT need an installation kit for my car in order for the radio to fit, it fit into the same slot as the factory radio. I installed everything my self and it all works perfectly. I've had the Stereo for over a month now and it still works great. The Motion X app DOES work on the radio display. For all of the people saying that JVC is falsely advertising the app to work on their radios, you are All Mistaken. If you can't get it to work, its because you don't know how to set the radio up, not because the radio is defective. You have to play with the display inputs in settings to get the thing to work. Its not rocket science, I'm sure they'll get it; that or they have bought an imitation or the wrong jvc cable. For me the JVC Cable is a MUST for this stereo to get the most out of it. Any way, the sound is immensely better than my factory radio, the equalizer is great. The dvd image and iphone videos image are awesome, and the sound like I said is amazing. If you play with the av in display inputs from settings, you can use other iphone apps like vevo and stream music videos to your display, make sure you have a good data plan. You can Control your music library form the stereo or from the ipod. You can also hear tune in radio over the car speakers as well. The local radio stations all pick up like they should. You can customize the background of the display using a regular usb pen drive with pictures, you have to load and open the picture first, then go to settings and display to capture the photo. also easy. To watch dvd videos on the go, easy as pie, Youtube it.... at your own risk and I don't recommend it, just in case... You can also stream music from your phone by bluetooh to the stereo flawlessly. The only down side is the bluetooth speaker that comes with the stereo, I have it mounted on the back of the steering wheel and people say they can hear me only some of the time. I have to get a new speaker and see if it works better. The stereo does download your contacts and recent and missed calls. nice touch. The Bluetooth adapter comes installed in the stereo body, so if you don't see it in the packaging, don't freak out. Front aux works as it should for any mp3 player or ipod if you don't have the jvc cables. The buttons on the front are well made and not flimsy, the changing colors are cool, or you can set one to be steady. RDS only works if its available in your area I believe, I don't get the song names but I do get the station names for the regular radio. I don't have SAT radio so I don't if RDS works for that, it should though. The Touch Screen works great for all the buttons on the screen, it's sensitive so you don't have to press hard, you can also turn up or down volume by making a circle in the center, or next or previous track by swiping from the center to the left or right. All in all I think it was a Great Buy, I don't Regret it at all, and I'd buy it again if I had to. I chose the 6.1 inch over the 7 inch model because I like having the volume and menu buttons in the front, and the aux input with the 7 in doesn't have. I hope this review helps in your decision to buy the radio. Good luck.
