JVC KW-R920BTS Built-in Bluetooth/Satellite Radio-Ready in-Dash Receiver with Remote

Amazing value and features! I bought this to replace a similar 5 or 6 year old JVC double-din unit and am extremely happy.PRO'S- Seamless BT integration with my Android phone- iHeart Radio and Pandora automatically launch when the source is selected and are easily controlled by the unit.- I love that you can store presets, just like AM/FM radio - switching stations is fast and easy- Automatically reconnects and resumes playing the app after starting the car (takes about 10-15 seconds)- Phone call sound and functionality is great over BT with use of the wired mic nestled in my visor.- Easy to access the contacts, make and receive calls,- Built in amp puts out impressive power and sound quality (more than my old unit) - Nice customization of EQ settings as well.- Spotify plays well, not great (over USB). Controls do not seem work as well as Pandora and iHeart- Song search functionality over usb drive is improved over previous model. Easy to locate songs, artists, and albumsCONS- Load time for USB flash drive slow. 16 GB drive takes about a minute to load and begin playing. Seems like it's having to reindex each time- Automatic night/day dim does not work (it's wired correctly) Workaround is to set the dim time in the settings- Mounting holes are deeper than my old unit. I used the same dash kit, but the unit is countersunk about 1/4" instead of being flushThe pros far outweigh the cons. I was going to spend 3 times as much for a higher end LCD unit, but this does everything I want, and does it very well, for the most part. The price is just amazing!

I installed this unit in my 2002 Toyota Tundra. Welcome to the 21st century! With all due respect to the old stereo, which was still working fine, it’s nice to have the modern conveniences. I was using a cassette adapter to plug my Sirius XM tuner into. Sure is nice to finally have an AUX input... plus Bluetooth, app support etc. etc.Install was pretty easy, I found a video that showed how to remove the front dash panel (remove knobs, 5 screws, and pull!) Unplug and remove the old unit and the amplifier. Connect the adapter wiring harness (sold separately) to the JVC harness using the existing color coding (I soldered and shrink-wrapped all connections, I’m not a fan of crimp connectors in places that won’t be easily accessible, but that’s just me) and plugged everything back in. The hardest part was figuring out where to put the microphone, since none existed before.The setup was not bad, and the manual is fairly helpful for most items. There are more features than most users will need or care about. It took me a while to get my iPhone to pair via Bluetooth but I think it was more my fault than anything else. Read through the process a few times before you begin.The sound is much improved, the clarity is much better and it plays louder without distortion. I found the “hip-hop” setting to be a good starting point in this vehicle.The display can be a bit garish (Tokyo by night?) but can be tamed pretty easily.

After using this for 2 months I will say that I love this radio. Fits in my 2004 Suburban Z71 perfectly with a minor dash modification to make space for the radio's depth. Some big pliers and minor hacking at some plastic inside the dash, made this puppy fit perfectly. The center volume knob is in a good location and a quick touch will pause the radio. Synced well with both my IPhone 6 and my Android phone. Pandora worked best wirelessly with my Android. Added life to the factory speakers without a power amp. I was going to replace them with some infinity speakers I had but was surprised how well they sounded ( not audiophile quality by any means, but not worth the hassle of removing 4 door panels). I did bypass the factory bose amp and ran wires directly to the speakers from the head unit. ( google this). For added bass I added a 12 inch infinity sub with a Rockford Fosgate 500w mono amp. Instructions are bad. Kept pressing buttons by trial and error. Set the color to match my dash. For the price the sound can not be beat. I also added Sirius and it sounds like FM radio quality, but worth the variety of station in my opinion. CD quality is excellent as is the sound using a USB from my IPhone with my songs.

I bought this item and it seemed to work okay after installation. Unfortunately I shortly realized that every time I locked or unlocked the doors or I put the car in park it would mute the radio. It didn't matter if the radio was on, auxiliary, CD, etc. It did it every time I had the car on and running and we checked all the wires, fuses in the car, even bought the same model radio from a different store and it did the same thing. The radio may not be compatible with my car but Amazon and Crutchfield.com both said that it was compatible with my car.

Had it installed in my wife's Rav4 and she loves it. Cool colors, pretty easy to see in day or night and bluetooth was simple to connect. Add the Sirius xm module and steering wheel control module and everything works like a factory install. Heath Moore Interiors had it installed in less than 2 hours, and looks like it came from the factory this way. Great radio. Also she loves the CD player(were old school). You will loose the backup camera because this has no touch sceen just digital readout, but all the other stuff it has makes it a great purchase!
