sorry these pics suck, theyre from my phone in the dark

the video quality of the dvd playback is amazing, but i will likely very rarely use it.

the coolest thing so far is that it dims with the headlights turning on, and the gps goes into night time mode when i turn them on too

the gps has the satellites instantly too

anyway so far so good, didnt hook my iphone up yet but the usb cord in the glovebox did pick up my thumb drive.

nice. very nice...

[Good Times]

dare we ask how much this unit was? pretty slick looking.

Does the hu have the ability to transmit your gps to your computer or something via usb?

[Lee]

a bit over 600 shipped i know im crazy but i wanted an all-in-one.

im not sure about the gps to pc thing, but i dont think it does.

That's nice....seems like a good deal too.

Does that model have a rear view camera input or a A/V input/output?

I like it.

[Lee]

a/v in-out yes... not sure on the rear camera although isnt that through the a/v i/o?

i love it so far. it does a good job with sirius reception too for the most part, but i might relocate the antenna to the drivers side since that will see fewer trees and a more consistent clear shot of the sky.

[Good Times]

dang that's one $ hu. but then again for what it does that's not a bad deal!

want to get me one too :P

[Lee]

yeah it isnt cheap but it debuted at over a grand, most places sell it for about 800-1000, ebay had it for 600 from a reliable seller so i jumped on it.

I'm typically not a JVC fan but if you look around at reviews, it got stellar reviews. I just need to find out how I can lower the amount of time the "warning" at the start shows for before it lets the button become clickable!

so anyone running component speakers in their 4th gen 4r? If so, any recommendations? I've always been partial to Alpine but from what I've read, their quality is going dowwwwn the tubes.

I am not 100% sure I even want to go this route... in my 01 4runner, I did this and found only a marginal gain. I'm thinking I might pick up a 4 channel amp and a powered sub. I haven't found the factory speakers to be lacking in anything except the way they handle bass, and even that isn't so bad. I'd just draw all the bass out to the sub.... and swap speakers out if I found it necessary at that point.

thoughts?
