 Overall a great stereo and a MAJOR upgrade May 23, 2010
By T. Thomas
Installed it in 2010 Nissan Frontier Extended Cab, along with the HD Radio tuner, 6"x9" Alpine SPR-69C speakers in front and 6.5" Alpine SPS-600's in rear.
Pros:
1. Very easy, intuitive navigation, especially for all the features, including large dedicated buttons for preset radio stations -- which was important to me since I listen to the radio a LOT. Menu and Back buttons make the nested menus easy, especially when using USB mass storage (up to 20,000 songs). Can Hide infrequently used menu options (such as AUX input) using Setup. Can readily "customize it" to meet your preferences. Once you've tweaked your setup, it's very easy to use.
2. Color matched my dash lights VERY well, with separate settings for the display and the buttons, including totally different setups for night and day. Display is fairly customizeable, as well, in addition to choosing Negative and Positive backlighting.
3. Great internal equalizer provides 3 different adustments for each of at least 3 frequencies in each of the 3 broad ranges (High, Mid, Low) -- making it more like a 9 or 10 band equalizer. Can finetune it to your speakers and the car's acoustics -- your tweaking is most easily done by pressing and holding the preset that's closest to what you like, then make your manual adjustments and its automatically saved as a USER preset that's easily accessed via this dedicated EQ button. Or, you can do it the hard way using the Setup >> Audio menu.
4, Strong internal amp is certainly not "over-rated" at 20 watts -- it will produce 20 watts with little noticeable distortion. With good aftermarket speakers, you may not (I don't) need an amp or separate sub, though I'm sure it would sound even better. Multiple LOUD settings to enhance low volume, if desired, but I don't use them -- just tweaked the EQ. You could boost the volume even more by jacking up the input volume (see #5 below). Of course, you have 5 sets of RCA out jacks and built-in subwoofer control if you want to amp it up...
5. Adjustable input volume for each input source(Aux, USB, CD, etc) other than the Radio, so you can get the same output volume from each source withour jarring (and possibly harmful to your ears or speakers) volume changes when switching sources. Even the Aux input sounds good, though it doesn't quite compare to the 24-bit Digital-to-Analog (DAC) converter in the headunit.
6. Clean, great sound, though I didn't try it with just the stock speakers. With all the adjustments, you can tailor it to the type of music you typically listen to. Surprising bass with these nice Alpine speakers. The stereo in my truck now blows away the Pioneer/Bose setup in my house!
7. Attractive, without being flashy. Looks almost stock... hopefully won't attract the attention of theives!
CONS:
1. Couldn't transfer phonebook from my old Casio Boulder. Easily paired up to it, and the Bluetooth works great otherwise. I just dial out using Phonebook on my cell, and the headunit takes over. Could still manually dial using headunit, but it's more cumbersome. Sounds great -- callers say it sounds like I'm just using a headset, without echoes, road noise or other distractions.
2. Didn't recognize my Sansa Clip MP3 player - perhaps because I also have a microSD card in it. Bought a 8GB USB flash drive that works great, and use it on the rear USB, hidden in glove compartement. (The tiny USB Bluetooth adapter stays in the front USB and isn't very noticeable at all.)
3. File names and folders still limited to 25 characters, which initially required some renaming of the files. This has little impact on the display, however, since the Tags (Artist, Album, Song Title) can contain up to 128 characters. Can select to scroll long tags once, repeatedly, or turn scrolling completely off.
4. FM radio reception isn't really any better than stock, though the sound is clearer with less static on normal AM/FM. AM reception seems better than stock, and much clearer overall. HD radio sounds GREAT, though HD stations and their range are still limited. I saw HD as an investment in the future, without subscription charges, especially since the FCC just recently approved the HD stations to increase their broadcast power (i.e. range) ten-fold or something like that.
5. Glossy faceplate and buttons show fingerprints and dust, and makes it look "less stock" than it would if it had a textured finish. Otherwise, matches stock dash very well. At night, with the colors adjusted and stored via setup, it looks like it came from the factory instead of having a multi-colored light show... See the photos that I uploaded.
Overall, I'm VERY, VERY pleased with the upgrade. The improvement in sound (not counting flexibility of two USB inputs, AUX, HD radio, etc.) over the stock single-CD (non Rockford-Fosgate) system is simply incredible. With the 6x9 Alpines, you can crank it up and feel the bass thump your chest. IMO, this JVC has the most features available at this price point in a double-DIN deck, those features are easy to use, and the sound won't disappoint!

Perfect fit in my F-150 May 12, 2011
By Don
Don't let anyone fool you... you absolutely can install a double DIN head unit in a Ford truck. (See ford150 dot net forum for full details - search for "Another successful double DIN install")
A picture is worth a thousand words: ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51q6pihemxL.jpg
What I like:
- Thousands of colors. Very happy that I could match to Ford green. Makes it look factory.
- Bluetooth audio streaming. Lots of units that do phone, but not so many with audio. Streaming Pandora and Sirius/XM from my Android phone sounds fantastic
- Bluetooth phone works great. Full address book (hundreds of entries), voice control, long wire on mic so I was able to 100% hide it behind dash, under column, under ceiling cover, and clip where ceiling cover meets the windshield.
iPod control built-in, not an add-on (and it works very well)
- Two USB ports, front and rear
- 3.5mm front AUX
- User upgradeable firmware
- Great sound - huge improvement over factory, and I kept my factory speakers
- Huge improvement in reception. I get tons of stations that didn't come in, before
What I don't like:
- It doesn't make me coffee
- It doesn't improve my fuel economy
- The remote is tiny (I'll never use it, but my kids will)
Update 12/15/2011: I still love this head unit. I switched from Android to iPhone, and BT streaming is even better. iPhone is smart enough to pause playback when you turn off the radio (or the truck), so no more scrambling to silence Pandora blaring from the phone's internal speaker every time I park. BT pairing also goes much faster with iPhone. Since my original review, I've found that streaming my music over BT and controlling playback on my handset is easier than using the USB port. Sure, I can't charge the phone that way, but iPhone battery life is such that I don't need to. If you have an older iPod (i.e. no BT), the USB port is fine, but it is tedious to scroll through your playlists using the head unit.

 High points and low points of the JVC XR810 Apr 26, 2011
By vr6pilot
The JVC KW-XR810 excels with its intuitive user interface. Navigating thru your iPod, performing routine tasks, or making adjustments to the audio is very easy thanks to the well thought-out menu scheme but I do have a few minor quibbles with some of the other features. This unit was installed in a 2010 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab and run through the factory speakers with an additional subwoofer mounted behind the rear bench.
I'll start with the variable color display. I was able to perfectly match it to my Toyota's orange dashlight theme and could have done the same in my Volkswagen with its Indigo Blue instrument lighting. The drawback is that, in some daylight conditions, not all available colors are very viewable so I had to choose (for my daytime display) a color based more on viewability versus using my favorite color. Choosing display colors is done along with choosing the corresponding brightness level (for day or night) and you can set the night color/brightness to activate based on time of day or with your headlight switch.
iPod interface: Terrific! While it does not mirror the click-wheel exactly, a dedicated "menu" and "back" button make getting into and out of the song menus a snap. JVC eliminated accidental item selecting by limiting the movements of the center knob so skipping forwards or back during iPod or CD playback is handled via the four-way pad. You can also set the unit up so that iPod control is handled via the iPod itself.
System menus are handled by pressing and holding the "menu" button which skips past the specific menu for your selected source and goes, instead, to the system menus. Then, options are scrolled thru with the knob and selected with the menu button. System menus are things like advanced EQ, fade/balance, phone connections, setting display colors, etc. Things you don't have to mess with routinely.
I love the PAUSE/MUTE function! Pressing in on the large center knob mutes any live audio but if you are listening to a recorded source like disc or mp3 player, the music is paused. I also own a Pioneer (P8000BT) that will mute the iPod but playback continues which I find annoying.
Audio quality is very good. I am very satisfied with the clarity and volume of the built-in amp's output as it is driving all my main speakers with only a small mono amp and single sub added for depth. At first, I did not care for the EQ interface finding it's adjustability too limited as compared to the 7-band EQ in my Pioneer but after living with the unit for about 6 months, I've come to realize that the audio output is quite good with the EQ set flat and that only minor nudges in certain areas of the sound spectrum are needed. One thing that I need to clarify in opposition to some previous reviews: You get three areas to tune; Bass, Mid, and Treble. Within each of those areas, you must select ONE band to adjust. For example...in the Bass area, you may select 50, 80, or 125hz to increase or decrease. You CAN NOT increase the 50hz band AND the 80hz band...it's one or the other. Other reviewers have said, "It's like having 9 bands!" Sorry but no, it is not.
The Bluetooth connected fast and easily. On screen prompts just about negated the need for the manual. A nice feature on this unit is the ability to have 2 phones connected simultaneously whereby you can press and hold the phone button to `hot swap' between them. A phone icon with the number 1,2,3, or 4 is displayed to show which unit is the active one. According to people on the other end, call quality is not as good as my `other' head unit (the Pioneer). I can hear them just fine but the mic is maybe not as good.
As mentioned in other reviews, you get two USB ports and the Bluetooth adapter occupies one of them so if you are using it for your phone, then you have only one USB port left. That said, if you connected the BT to the USB on the front panel, then you can easily pull it out to connect another device without having to access the rear of the unit. One thing that surprised me was the BT adapter itself...these things are tiny. This one is about the size of an automotive fuse (the kind with the 2 spade ends) so to plug it into the front panel...it is very unobtrusive.
Living with the JVC unit has been great. The majority of functions that you actually need access to on a routine basis are readily available at the push of a single button or at the very top of a particular menu so I don't have to spend a lot of time messing with it on the road. I don't care for parametric style equalizers but, even set flat, the unit produces high quality sound with some decent power behind it and gives you front, rear, and non-fading subwoofer pre-outs for amp expansion.
Negatives: For me, the EQ, as I prefer sliders. There is a long `read' time when selecting CD or mp3 player. From the time I select "CD" as the source to the time it starts playing music is around 5-7 seconds. The display, as mentioned before, can be hard to read in very bright light so I had to choose the brightest white color in order to make it more visible during the day. At night, there is much more latitude but if you want to use something like pure red for your color...even that can be tough to read so the color palette, while very broad, is not entirely useable from a practicality standpoint.

A keeper even with one flaw Apr 25, 2010
By N. Cain
"Not from Iowa"
Installed in 2005 Nissan Frontier. Manufacturer's dimensions are with included bracket; otherwise head unit without the bracket is true DD size. Used (needed) Metra DD trim for install, and also a harness kit from whomever. KW-XR810 unit itself works as advertised. Can charge and control both my Iphone 3GS and Ipod Nano (3rd & 4th Gen) from the head unit. Most other information can be obtained from the user's manual, which can be downloaded. My one issue with this unit is the text scrolling. When the song title (mp3 in my case since I don't have the HD Radio or use other formats) exceeds the displayed width then the unit will scroll the song title. If you have your display set to black background with white (or other color) text, then when it begins to scroll it scrolls with very pixelated white text. This causes the scrolling text to be unreadable when viewing it from the driver's seat. When viewed directly in front, it's readable but just barely. There are alternatives. You can leave the display to have white background and black lettering 24/7 (nuisance for nighttime driving) or turn scrolling off. The advertisement photos of this unit have the display with black background. When it is set with white background then the scrolling is not an issue because the text is black all the time, and actually looks nice, for daytime that is. Overall I like this unit and would recommend it to anyone looking to control the latest Iphones & Ipods. With the 2 USB ports, I have the rear USB going to my glove box, attached to my Ipod, and use the front when I attach my Iphone. Controls everything with the big dial and menu button. Have not used Bluetooth yet although I have attached included microphone wiring. Owned for 2 weeks now, will eventually try the CD player some year. I set different day and night time display colors and is controlled by your car/truck lights switch.

Great replacement radio Nov 24, 2010
By Amazonion
I just installed this radio in my 2002 Pontiac grand am to replace the factory installed unit and it is great. I love that I could adjust the color to match the interior lights in my car. Bluetooth worked great. Callers tell me there is no echo and sound quality is fine. I bought this radio instead of the lcd radios because like those radios it is double-din and has bluetooth, front and back usb, awesome quality sound, etc. BUT unlike those radios it feels like a car stereo. Touch screens sound great in theory but do you really want to be driving around trying to tap the right area with just the right amount of sensitivity? And its not like I'm going to be watching dvds while I'm driving. If you want a car stereo that looks and works like a car stereo this is for you.
