JVC KD-X210 MP3 Car Stereo

brill as soon as you plug in my iphone it plays music etc brill sound aswell :) 110%

I bought this so we could put my Bluetooth Pioneer one into hubby's car and I suspect I got the better stereo (I never used the phone functions on the old one as I never need or want to use my phone when driving). The sound quality through my standard Seat speakers is really excellent - with the right EQ settings it's very rich, deep and balanced and you can control the appropriate amount of bass and treble depending on the type of music you're listening to. Everything I've played through it, from classical to heavy metal to spoken audio books, sounds great and there is no distortion to the sound at higher volumes (there are some things which just have to be played loud!).Installation took all of about 15mins, including removing the old stereo, and the menus are very easy to navigate. Aesthetically the stereo looks lovely in the black/red lit interior of my car and I like the big volume button - no fiddling around for it. The buttons are easy and intuitive to operate and now my left hand knows where they are I can skip tracks without thinking about it.My only gripe is that I often listen to Spotify via my iPhone and unlike my old stereo this one won't bring up the track titles when I do that. It's a very small niggle in the grand scheme of things though. Also the JVC play list software won't recognise the iTunes m4a file format so a bit of mp3 converting is required to use it with your iTunes library (easy to do in iTunes, just a bit irritating to have to have 2 copies of the same track).

this car audio has flac playback capability. but the title here is misleading in terms of bluetooth. it is "bluetooth ready" - needs another device to do those functions. it doesnt have bluetooth as such built-in. other aspects are great for a CD free future entertainment.
