After several years with the Shaker eating 5 of my cd's, I finally got around to swapping out the stereo.
I really like this JVC. Sound is MUCH better than the Shaker. While I had the center console out, I painted the two center stack sides with Krylon Fusion paint for plastic, gloss black. Here is something I didn't know, those pieces are already painted. Wiping them down with alcohol to prep them took the beige paint off, and left ugly dirty 'spots' where it stripped off.
They are a bit glossy with the flash on the camera, but a little armorall should help even things out, and they really aren't that gloss without the flash.
Here's a pic, with a Shakira video playing. I can play mpegs in my car, sweet!
Here is a pic showing the controls with a 'mini me' screen. Controls are pretty straight forward. Yes, I'm military, so have the clock set on 24 hour time.
Just like Shakira's legs are at an angle, so is the screen. The screen can tilt to several different angles until it is perpindicular to the unit. This is setting One, just angled up at my big noggin a little.
After touching tilt and goint to setting Two, then tapping exit, the 'buttons' drop off as play continues.
Unit powered off:
Yeah, the detachable screen sticks out a little, but I can live with it.
One of the main things I liked about this unit is the 7" detachable screen.
I think this will keep most thieves at bay, if there are better targets around.
