chriswillis Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 I'm looking to buy a new double din headunit screen but don't really have a great load of cash like 6-700 for an alpine. What are peoples opinions on this offering from JVC? All (sensible) opinions greatfully received..... PS - I would like to keep the steering wheel controls and this one does say it caters for that but is anyone sure???? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JVC-KW-AVX720-DVD ... 286.c0.m14 Many thanks Chris Quote
chriswillis Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 Bump.. C'mon guys someone must have experience with this unit or something similar????? I'm looking to buy this weekend you see. Cheers Chris Quote
yokomo Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 well i have a an avx 33 so single din but dvd m usb bluetooth etc great unit only thing that you may have is that my jvc takes quite a while to sort out what its doing when playing from usb but other than that i cant fault it, that looks liek anews unit so maybe the usb is faster. looks liek bargin for the price too my singeldin cost me that a couple of years back !

chriswillis Posted July 31, 2009 Author Posted July 31, 2009 Cheers buddy! I did find a couple of reviews after scouring the web and both of those were good/ Think i may go for this and will report my findings...... Quote
jim Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 I've just fitted the AVX820, complete with rear view camera, and I am delighted with it. Touch screen works very well and the iPod integration is superb. The only issue I have is that when you play a standard audio CD (not MP3 etc.) it does not read the track titles. Otherwise it's great and it's a good bit cheaper than the equivalent Kenwood or Pioneer. Quote
Muddy Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 +1^^^ as above I have the AVX820 and although it is a cheaper double din, it works great, DVD plays well, LCD is clear. Brilliant bit of kit for the money. Quote
Rob_Quads Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Not used one of these myself but from the specs I have read they look like good value units. Quote
Bundus Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Those of you with the 820 have any of you added the cable for ipod video? If so does it work well? Im looking at getting this unit too. Cheers. Quote
Bundus Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Also caraudiodirect.co.uk are offering the 820 for only £439 (so not much more then the 720 on ebay) if you want the built in bluetooth among other features. Quote

Bundus Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 In short the 820 has a detachable faceplate, more pre-outs at higher voltage and built in bluetooth. Check this out mate - its a great video review on both. Quote
