JVC KD-HDR60
$190.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:FM radio quality is exceptional - sound is exceptionally clear with minimal signal interference/intermittence amongst local stations. HD channels provide remarkable high-quality audio - sound is balanced and well-defined, with a noticeable increase in stereo width. USB drive support is excellent - users report successful, instant playback of audio from flash drives and external hard drives alike.
The Cons:HD radio is prone to intermittence/drop-outs when signal strength weakens - may cause considerable user frustration depending on level of interference. Software menus and dedicated hard buttons are fairly cumbersome - file navigation lacks intuitive qualities and certain physical components are awkwardly-small.
The JVC KD-HDR60 is a basic car stereo with expandability built in. Similar to the KD-HDR40 it receives HD Radio and is Satellite radio ready, but it also has a USB 2.0 port for interfacing with an iPod or iPhone.

Preset capabilities far exceed those of many competitor models - scrolling digital list with 18 spaces is much-preferred to the classic layout of ~6 dedicated hard buttons

Auto-detection capabilities are highly-beneficial - unit recognizes when and where an external device has been connected via USB/auxiliary input
