 Great head unit at very reasonable price Apr 20, 2009
By Ryan Fisher
"KISS Fan"
I hadn't been a real fan of JVC car steros in the past, but the price point and option of being able to try out HD Radio led me to this purchase.
I've had the unit for over a month now, and I love it! Great sound. I was planing on upgrading my speakers, but this thing seems to have pumped new life into the ones I already have. Didn't realize how weak my old stero was.
The HD Radio sounds great. There are only about 4 HD stations in my area right now, but those all sound a ton better then the stations that are not broadcast in HD. It even makes some AM stations tolerable.
CD player is very nice and the unit also has an aux port to hook up your choice of MP3 player. It was nice to get rid of the sometimes staticy FM Transmitter that I was using before.
If you're looking for a respectibly priced radio with all the bells and whistles, look no futher. Highly recomended!

Provide basic function as promised, user interface can be better Sep 02, 2009
By Y. Zhang

I purchased this unit most for listening HD radio music while driving.
Quite some radio stations that offer HD signal are multiplexd (just like digital TV) in that you can listen to the 2nd channel of a program, typically commercial free.
That's where I have one complaint about this radio -- when this 2nd HD channel has temporary weak signal, the radio sometimes has hard time reestablish the link even when the signal come back strong (my other settop HD radio has no such issue). I have to power off and on, or jump back to the 1st channel, than link to the 2nd channel (easy though, press up or down arrow key twice).
Jumping from station to station is relatively difficult (need to press menu, turn to the memory slot, then press).
Except the above minor issues, this device performs nicely.
Make sure when you install the radio, find out if the assembled sleeve is needed. I have the habit not reading (or skim) owner's manual. It pays in this case, it takes me 10 minutes frustration to figure out why it cannot put it into my Toyota dashboard before I realize I need to remove the sleeve for my car.

 READ this review before buying! Dec 25, 2009

First off, you can get this at Amazon for 80 bucks
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PL5SSM/ref=s9_simp_gw_s0_p23_i3?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1G4PV501R4BSJCVSYYC3&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
Second, there are no buttons on face for radio stations, you will have to tune to the station you want, then press the menu button, then hold the round volume button down, then turn the volume button to the preset number you want that station on, then press the volume button. ALL this just to program one freaking station? you will need to repeat the process each time to program each station. Now to actually get to these stations while you're driving...you have to press the menu button, then turn the volume button until you reach the preset you want, then press the volume button one last time...again you will have to repeat this every time you wish to change the station...its not like you should be paying attention to the road or anything like that... The engineers at JVC should get FIRED for not putting presets on the plate.
For those who said there arent any ways to control the bass and treble, you're wrong. The audio settings are also very complicated to get to. The way explained in the manual is wrong! You must press and hold the menu button until the "DEMO" menu pops up, the turn the knob til you get to the audio menu, the press the volume button again then you will find the , bass, mid bass, super bass, high, mid high, ultra high, and amp woofer settings.
The sound quality is very good once you setup your sound settings. If you do not have an amp with a sub, it will sound better than stock but nothing great. I have an alpine, and pioneer in my other cars. Much more EZ to use.
I would give it a 0 if there was an option for it on the ease of use section.
Its way too complicated to use while driving

Built in HD a nice feature Jun 28, 2009
By Nate A. Cox
Just installed in my Si. Nice stereo for the price. With built in HD radio you can't beat it. HD radio does sound better, plus the extra info on the bandwidth is nice.
For the price it sounds good, clear with no noise and it's not to hard to use.
There's also an Ipod (MP3) input on the face, and it plays MP3's so you're set for the 21st century.
It can do bluetooth, but you'll need an adapter (all head units do!).
I'd say if you're looking for a decent HU...consider this unit!
3.5 out of 5!

Great Value! (but it does take some getting used to) Jan 26, 2010
By J. D. Letson
I read the reviews prior to the purchase and knew that there were no station preset buttons on the face (like we have all been using for the past 40 years). And yes, selecting preset stations from this front panel is not as convenient, however, the wireless remote is the trick. You can channel surf your preset stations much easier than even pressing a faceplate button. The remote is simple and you only need to use 4 of the 8 buttons(preset stations up/down and volume up/down). It is better because you will memorize the buttons (just like your TV remote) and that makes it safer while driving. Just don't lose the little remote, it probably costs more to replace than the radio.
And yes programming the radio has a bit of a learning curve, the KD-HDR20 has a lot of features and I have not used half of them yet. You get a lot more music choices out of an HD radio, but it does take some getting used to.
