JVC, worth it?
I've been searching far and wide for a head unit for under $300. I found this one on Crutchfield, and it looks like a decent buy. Any opinions from all you experts?

That looks good, plays MP3's and has preouts for an amp. That's all that matters, IMO.
Personally, the way I choose headunits is how it looks. All I need is for it to play CD/MP3s, sound better than stock (anything will sound better than stock, lol), and match my interior. With that in mind, I just ordered one of these for less than 200 shipped. You can change the color of the screen to anything you want and it doesn't look all wacky/futuristic like most HUs.

I just bought that exact same HU (AR-860) from Crutchfield last week and already installed it. I think it's great, and I'm very happy with it. Sounds a LOT better to me than the stock Bose it replaced. I would say you won't be sorry if you buy that unit.

if you want a jvc get a digifine, i love mine, of course someone broke it trying to steal it, so now the same mp3 cd is stuck in there and i have to listen to it until i buy a new one.
JVC digifine kd-sh707 is what i got, i think they have newer ones now

I believe it stands for Victor company of Japan but anyway I haven't had any problems with my unit which is 5 years old now. My Victor home stereo is 10 years old and still runs perfectly. My next unit will definitely be a JVC.
