panian Member Since: Jan 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 5 Days	JVC KD-G510 in Europe its KD-G611 Strengths: Great design, front AUX IN connector, nice colours and great sound... since it is JVC Weaknesses: 1) Not LCD screen, someone can see all the features/numbers/text on the screen. 2) Big detachable unit to carry with 3) When detached you loose track of the CD you were listening Summary: It is the first time I use JVC for car audio. I am really satisfied since the original was not that good (4x20) with a brand name of ALANA... who knows who they are! The main problem that I have realised so far, for the JVC KD-G510 or 611, is that when someone detach the front panel for safety reasons, then the player looses the track/folder/time of the CD/mp3/wma that you are listening at that time. This is happening to my car (Seat Ibiza '03). Probably it happens due to when I remove the ignition key all the features of the car power off in order for the main battery to get weak. Any other suggestions...? 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review.

Hammer0159 from NY Member Since: Jun 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Year	Great All Around Strengths: Front aux. Input, Plenty of changeable options Weaknesses: Small Buttons, Small Remote Summary: I had this deck professionally installed, so i can't say whether or not it is easy to put in, but it is a really good product. i have not had a problem with it yet and i've had it for almost a year. the front aux. input is a great feature that is hard to find and is this decks main selling point. You can adjust bass, treble, fade, subwoofers, amp output, etc. all up front. Great Item 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

richiegootz from IL Member Since: Aug 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Weeks	JVC Great front input Strengths: front aux input for mp3 players Weaknesses: need to flip down face to insert CD Summary: The front input is great. and its one of the few decks to have it. Fm broadcasters have ever worked for me so the front connection is great. I have not tested an MP3 cd, but I expect no probs since it plays regular CD's just fine 86% of People (6/7) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

greenhauler from LA Member Since: Apr 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Days	JVC KD-G510 In Dash CD/MP3 Player Strengths: Easy install with aftermarket wire adapter Pretty faceplate Large volume knob Power button on the knob Clean sound (no hiss) with AUX input to an mp3 player Weaknesses: Small FF/REV buttons Summary: 2005-08-13 20:12:51 Installed this unit in about 30 min. It helped that I had an aftermarket wire adapter. It was easy; matched wire colors on both sides, crimp and plug-in the unit. I didn't need the manual at all. Found that the silver buttons on the left of the volume knob could have been a tad bigger but not a big deal. The least used feature of this JVC head unit will be the external CD changer input. Why play CD's when you can compress all those .cda's into mp3's?? If you know what you are doing, you can get 95% origional quality and have more songs/disc the mp3 way. Anyhow, I'm sure it's for someone out there. They could have put an RCA output for the Sub for the customers that have a 4-channel setup. You can still use one of the outputs for it though you will have to settle for a 2-channel setup. I do recommend this head unit. I am a JVC die hard... 86% of People (6/7) found this review helpful.

fredthefan from CA Member Since: Nov 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 7 Days	Affordable CD/MP3/WMA player with Front Aux Port Strengths: Affordable, Front Auxiliary Port for iPod or other MP3 players, Easy to install after you can get your previous car receiver out Weaknesses: Small buttons, Somewhat difficult to remove attachable face, AM radio has static, Slow to load CD's that contain MP3 files Summary: I bought the JVC KD-G510 because it has a front auxiliary port for an iPod or other MP3 players, and it's very affordable. I don't have a MP3 player right now, but one of my friends says the front auxiliary port is very convenient. Installing the actual KD-G510 is easy. You just have to figure out how to remove the previous car receiver. I have a 2002 Honda Civic and it took a while (2 hours) to take out the necessary panels to remove the factory-installed unit. CD playback is good. The unit is somewhat slow to load CD's that contain MP3 files. The unit has small buttons so it's probably not good for people with big fingers. The detachable face is somewhat difficult to remove and place back. I did notice one quality difference from my factory-installed unit. I listen to AM radio sometimes for sports talk programs, and the KD-G510 doesn't receive AM stations clearly. I hear static, especially noticeable at higher volumes. The factory-installed unit was clearer on AM channels. Overall, I'm satisfied with the KD-G510. I bought the unit from Cardomain.com. They shipped the package very quickly so I would give the site a big plus. 50% of People (3/6) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.
